creating, not building

I forgot to mention in my previous post from today...

One of the things one friend mentioned was how, until recently, he felt pressure to "build something with his life". Every step in his career, personal life, and passing year of his life had to build upon the past toward a common goal. This was really stressful to him and bringing him down.

He recently freed himself from the stress of this huge undertaking by simply allowing himself to "create" rather than "build". He said the way he sees it now, some things can take a long time to create and others just a short time.

As he shared this, his face registered a huge sense of relief and ease passed over his features. I'm going to try this new thinking.

Namaste.
