Accounting Your Blessings Day 17

Today's "RECEIPT":
"Before we awaken, our joy is to use the things of this earth; after the grace of awakening, our joy is to serve the things of this earth. With the growth of wisdom our life becomes more and more a creative act, an act of service. The beauty of such an understanding is that it excludes no one."
--Jack Kornfield, "A Path with Heart" (also the source of the story in the today's Abundance Action)

TODAY'S ABUNDANCE ACTION
Here is a little story for you. In the traditional culture of Bali, there is no word for "artist", nor a particular label for "creative" people, even though the culture has plenty of artisans, poets, and musicians. In this culture, all activities are equally creative, equally of service. There is no linguistic way to distinguish that a painter's mural is more "creative" than a farmer's crop. Today, think about the ways in which you are being creative in every single moment. Toss aside any previous definitions of creativity - and instead, just allow yourself to create in everything you do, and feel gratitude for your wonderful creative abilities and all the ways they can be expressed.

~Don't forget to enter your deposits and small change, along with their prosperity values, every day!~
