Synchronicity, Coincidences, Ego and Powerful Creations
Once in awhile I get feedback at times about how something I have said or presented which has been inspiring to someone. The payoff for that is not monetary and sure the ego is involved. In this sense the ego is a good thing. As long as I don’t let it get out of hand that part of the ego can serve me well. It does not happen that often so it really is not difficult to keep the ego in check!
People do feel good if they are able to help someone else, not in an enabling kind of way, just by being, planting a seed or two, providing an idea or a way for someone to have something make a difference to them.
There are many inspirational things being presented online. I imagine many do not know about them or where to find them. Sometimes things just come to us, drop into our laps or hit us over the head to wake us up when we need it. We may be thinking about something, looking for something and the message or the messenger suddenly appears with what we have been asking for.
Being open to all possibility can bring synchronicities, coincidences and the like to us seemingly out of nowhere. Or what I sometimes like to refer as nothing. No Thing. That brings to mind. “Where does creativity really come from?” This is not an easy question to answer. I’ll touch a bit more on this later.
I have been listening to some of the talks and such on TED. See the link I’ve added on the left hand side of this blog. There are some remarkable and inspirational talks and music presented there. I knew of TED before and had not been there for some time. Something recently pointed me in that direction once again. I think it was when I was exploring something about Stephen Hawking and his quest about life and the theory of how the Universe came about. In any case it is all about synchronicity, coincidence and such.
Back to the TED site. One amazing talk that really stood out for me is:
Steve Jobs: How to live before you die
Many of us have heard idea and concept “do what you love and the money will follow” or something similar. The first part of that phrase is the important part and the second part is just a bonus should it come.
This talk by Steve Jobs can be viewed on YouTube.
I was really moved by this talk and what it meant. It is so powerful and evokes emotions as well as bringing awareness to things we do not really know before hand and discover the significance later on. Sometimes what we feel are the most adverse and difficult things, out of that can come our finest moments. It we accept and allow them to happen. That is not an easy thing to do. We can easily become stuck in our creations and in the muck that we find ourselves in.
If encourage you to explore the TED site and find some gems of your own over there. It is well worth the trip, IMO.
I will be back later to talk a bit more about creativity and such. I could add more now but I feel this is is powerful enough on its own to let it sift and simmer within us.
May your creations be many and serve you well.
Eugene
