Accepting and celebrating life is a beautiful thing. Remember the Borg of Star Trek? They said – “Resistance is futile!” But resistance is often the way we choose. It’s our problem orientation of fixing and repairing ourselves, life and other people.

There is another way to approach life and its bringing me much greater joy and peace. There are many layers of reality and you can choose the one that works best for you.

I became very sick in 2024; I’m 72. Won’t waste your time with details, but it involves several body systems and took me to death’s door. I experienced all the thoughts and emotions you would expect.

There are two ways to approach life – first, life is a problem to be solved. This has been my primary perspective for 60 years and It works sometimes, but trying to fix yourself or others creates a lot of stress and often you still don’t get what you want.

The second approach is operating from your identity as a Creator. When I started to approach life not as a repair person but as a Creator – my life vastly improved

But then 2024 came and witnessing my body failing was a challenge. It drove me to frantically search out doctors and ideas that might relieve my suffering. Nothing wrong with that but in my case it fed my anxiety and my thoughts revolved around nothing but sickness

A few months ago, I realized what I was doing. I shifted to an old spiritual practice of focusing on what I would love to create and not what I feared. I began the day with my intentions and my new intention was – “I Choose Health and Vitality.”

Choose is a powerful word! No talk of sickness and pain. Then I started to use my powerful imagination (you have one too). I stopped imagining death and started to imagine what I desired and wanted. I visualized strongly as if I had health and vitality now and not in some distant future.

I consulted my intuition and came up with some inspired actions I would like to take and then I did it.

This is a huge shift. No longer fighting against anything, but now bringing something new into my life. I wrote a new script. Now acceptance is a part of the deal. I accepted my present situation but stated in my intentions – “I accept this but I prefer something else.”

Slowly all of this lifted me to a higher life track. Different aspects of my challenge began to drop away. Over time health and vitality began to show up. It seemed even the universe started to help by sending me certain ideas and certain people that added to my health and vitality.

There are two ways to approach life and you get to choose – you can choose to be a problem solver or a creator. I’m living my life every day as a creator. I’m creating for the sheer joy of it.

I welcome what comes into my life. Acceptance is a beautiful thing. I love setting my morning intentions. I choose health, vitality and joy. It is a powerful peaceful way to live life. What do you do when you’re not sure what to do? CREATE.
