Claim the power you hold as a human being — the power to create.

Either you believe you are a creator or you do not. While you might have vacillated between these two beliefs throughout your life, at some point you have to take the leap, you have to claim the power you hold as a human being — the power to create.

This choice is within you in every moment. This power to create is immense and it is loving. It wants to give. It wants to pour itself into the world as an expression of love and compassion and joy.

Can you feel this?

For ten years, I taught a 10-week course on Creativity and Leadership at Stanford Continuing Studies. At the start of each fall quarter, I began by asking the students if they believed they were creative. In week one, so many did not, but at the end of the 10-weeks, this had changed. Why? Because through the course, students experienced their creativity — not as the making of art, but as the real, lived experience of knowing the joy, compassion, and aliveness that is evidence of seeing the world through the eyes and heart as a creator.

Seeing through the eyes and heart as a creator allows one to feel what we can feel when we give up our attachment to judgment — judging self, judging other, judging society, judging the world, judging life itself.
