My Novice Master of happy memory Fr. Remigius Sequeira would always tell us during the weekly conference that you need to be creative in every area of your lives. You can be creative in prayer, meditation, relationships, gardening, singing, etc. One day during my spiritual talk I did ask him how would I become creative. He surprised me with a smile and said that I need to believe in my potentialities and capabilities. Once you believe in your ability you already make things happening and you begin to understand that you have power and energy within you that will transform anything that you lay your hands on. A wonderful piece of advice that I have never ever forgotten.
I used to think that I am called to live my human life in a nice, orderly, and morally right way, but once I began to practice what my novice master told me and the universe around me changed for the better. I am not called to be just living life like others but I am called to be living it in a fruitful and creative way. The purpose of my life is to be creative, to make something that others don't dare to do it. we develop things that will go a long way to make the earth safe and sound, we develop not for being famous for the good of the others. That is how we have had inventors, scientists, etc who spent days and nights in developing that would change the fate of humanity.
If we pause a while and look back to what we have been doing what we do, we realize that we are always creative, making, and developing something. once we realize it we love doing what we do. Sometimes we don't understand why we do those things which have a positive impact and influence on us and the others. we are always making and re-making, making something always new.
Our Mothers in the kitchen are always making something new or cooking something different to make the family happy. she spends time learning or bringing those cooking talents out every day by making something new and her mind is active and creative working always to see the good of the family members.
Let us look at the administrators, animators, parish priests, leaders, etc are always thinking for the better administration and good of the institute that they are heading. Their aim and goal are to live legacy by being creative and re-shape the present situation into a better reality so that the future generation will befit tremendously. They do all this with full passion, strengths, mind, and spirit. Once they have created something that others haven't created, there is a sense of pride and achievement that no one can give them. They are proud of their own creation. they are radical in creating and presenting to the world. For creating something they go about collecting, learning, gathering, and forming it for the good of the society. They look at the world around them with new perspectives and vision because they feel part of the new order and situation of which they are part. They see something of them in it which has the smell of their enthusiasm and dreams.
I have met and encountered married couples and families who have had ruptures in their relationships. most of them call it a day. throw up arms in the air and give up on the building and re-creating the relationships. they just don't wanna do anything to have the relationship going. I have always advised and counseled people to say that we have talents and passion to remake and recreate anything that is broken or ruptured. what we need is to listen and look at the issues from very close angles. We don't listen to the spirit that within us which is creative and there are inner urges which are just waiting to make our relationships wonderful and beautiful.
Use all the capabilities that we possess and use them to create a new world of relationships and emotions. The brain is always wanting to be creative but we got to follow it and block it with anger and prejudices. Let us be hungry to be creative for oneself and others. Teach others to be creative and explore, figure out, and fascinate with new ideas and opinions. Be a source of innovation in every area of life. Our ability to shape and re-shape many things in our lives should not go waste or go along with us to the grave. The cemetery should not be the richest place on the planet but our world.
