The Creative Force of (Human) Life

ByMatthew

“We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.” – Stephen Covey

When we learn that what we do matters, we more carefully – and intentionally – do what we do.

When we learn to do things better, and learn to do new (better) things, our results improve.

Another side effect of seeing ourselves as the creative force of our lives is we think bigger, and better, about our lives and begin to make real, authentic, plans what we want to create.

It all results in an upward spiral.

We’ve all heard of downward spirals, this is the opposite – the kind of spiral we want.
