After creation, then what?

You need to add more consciousness to your day, not strategies to control what happens.

I believe I grow by increasing my responsibility and awareness, so I become more aware, for example, of 'incoming ripples' from people in the third world who need help. However, I don't want to be a sponge and accept everybody else's pain and problems. That's why I need some control, so I can decide how, and how much, I can be of benefit to others. I decide and control how I live my life. When you're driving a car, who's controlling whom? When the alarm clock goes off on Monday morning, and your body is feeling knackered, does your body take control and you stay in bed? You control your body (unless you believe you are body and ego, and let them take over).
