What do I mean by Creative Power Soul – lutions? It means to start to use your creative power for more than just complaining. It is about finding soul – ‘lotions, or solutions from the soul, that will produce joy, peace, and harmony.
We all hear it all the time. Friends, relatives, associates, church members, co-workers, parents, girlfriends, boyfriends, you and I, we have all spoken on what we feel would need to change in a situation that clearly bothers us. Now whether or not we are individually affected by it, isn’t the point; although it should be. Why? Because some people who grumble the loudest, really aren’t that affected by what they may be complaining about.
I know you’re probably saying, O.K. give me specifics.
Allow me to paint a very true life picture. Not long ago, Carmellita and I took on the project of renovating three of her mom’s rooms. Carm’s mom lives in a large, ranch style home, and since her youngest children and grandchildren moved out, the three rooms they were inhabiting for years were left…well let’s just say, they needed some work. Carmellita decided that she wanted to take on the project. It was her way of giving back and saying thank you for all the support her mom had given her and still gives her to this day when it comes to running a business.
Unfortunately, there are people who don’t quite get having a vision and purpose. Some may try to deter you from your goals because they can’t visibly see what you were doing at the time or why you were doing it in the first place; until the business begins to make money (but that’s for another writing).
I’m absolutely crazy about Dot (her mom) and I too appreciate her for being the kind soul and gentle lightworker that she is; so I decided to jump on board and help. While we were working on a plan, there were quite a few people who thought we were crazy. They didn’t see the point.
We just kept on working and had a lot of fun picking out paint and new wall decorations and furniture. It was magical to see the look of joy on Dot’s face as we were helping to manifest her vision for the other part of her home. I tell you Carm and I were just like designers on HGTV. It took us 4 months to complete the project, but after the reveal everyone in the family was astounded and pleased.
Dot had a man-cave for her husband, a home office, and a guest room for visitors.
In the middle of all this joy, there was a relative that appeared out of the shadows and disagreed with the entire look. He didn’t really think it made sense to “purpose” each room. He thought that each room should be guest bedrooms. I can safely say that this person had his own ulterior motives. So of course they didn’t get the vision. You see, if there were a lot of guest bedrooms, then more family members and friends could move in, for an extended stay. But once again that is for a later writing.
This relative was one of the main people who were complaining about the rooms and that something should be done. For months, the complaint was his daily mantra. His creative power was being mis-used on complaining rather than providing soul – ‘lutions to the problem. Mind you he didn’t lend a hand to help with the renovation, but was the biggest complainer.
Eventually he stopped complaining. The pure light energy and focus we all shared for the new part of the house, finally diffused his complaints.
Friends, I know that each of you have come across people who complain constantly about a situation, but if you ask them for solutions (being pro-active), they are short on action, until someone else takes the lead and then it becomes a problem.
If you ever find yourself in a situation that’s bothering you enough where you are projecting your mental focus and energies on the situation, begin to ask yourself, “Am I being soul – ‘lutions (solutions) oriented? How Am I helping this situation? If this is bothering me so, what can I do to create positive and productive change?”
Or as a famous rapper once said, “Don’t talk about it, be about it.”
Until next time, live well, live wise, live wealthy, and let the Creative Spirit move you.
