Illness Paves the Way For Wellness

We've seen it happen several times. The internet is flooded with stories of such nature. Books have written much about this subject matter. It may even have happened to you.

The fact remains, that it is in moments of suffering from illness that many are motivated to reflect on life and are moved to do things beyond the limits they previously put on themselves.

In some cases, it opens doors to emotional and spiritual healing. In other cases, it provides the very springboard for other miracles to take place. Take for example the story of the father and son team Dick and Rick Hoyt. Many may know about them already but for the benefit of those who have never heard of them, here's a chance to see them in action.



This is what I would call a great example of creatively living life to the fullest. Wellness, after all, is not simply the absence of illness, rather it is the process of being aware of one's value and worth, knowing they are love expressed eventually paving the way for creating balance within and achieving wellness and wellbeing.

Such was the case of a good friend of mine.This is her story. LIVING WELLNESS

Between Being and Doing: The Art of Creative Prioritizing

Stan and Ergo Comic Series

I never knew that creating priorities in life would be based on whether to DO things first or to BE something first. One day I found myself immersed in a concept that changed my perspective on prioritizing things. I discovered the art of creative prioritizing. Here's what got me thinking out of the box.

What are you being? What are you choosing to be? Is it loving? Is it caring? Healing?

You can be more of that no matter what you are doing. Yet, the magic of it is, the more of that your are BEING, the more what you are DOING will fall perfectly into place to allow you to "be" even more of that! Trust this process. It works. You will discover that forms - physical ways to "be" a thing - will suddenly start to just "show up".

"Beingness" becomes form.

-Neale Donald Walsch

I totally agree with this concept as I have often found myself caught up in doing things to BE better in a lot of ways. During the process of becoming too busy doing things I lost focus on simply BEING that which I hoped to BE. Okay it may all sound too confusing so let's put in some examples here.

I wanted to BE a better daughter by doing my share of providing financial assistance. I may have accomplished my task of financially assisting the family but that sure did not make me a better daughter. I ended up spending more time at work and prioritizing it than spending quality time with the family.

Now I know better. I can create a better me by simply Being that which I wish and automatically, I will be Doing things differently. Now, that's creativity training like no other.
