We are always trying to create within our lives whether we know it or not. Creating opportunities for ourselves or our loved ones through work, creating memories with friends and family, and of course creating the lives that we have always dreamed of. Now when we put it in those terms it can seem unbelievably daunting to try and undertake. Creating something from nothing is unbelievably difficult, just ask a magician or a successful entrepreneur. Discovery on the other hand feels like a path we have all been down before. Learning about new things in school or at work, learning about the world and how it operates, and of course always learning more and more about ourselves. While these two ideas seem miles apart from each other, the sweet spot is actually a place where the two meet. If we can find a place where we no longer remember whether we created something or rather discovered it we are probably on the right path.
Creating your dream life is difficult, to say the least, but creating circumstances that allow you to discover your dream life seems possible even on a micro level. By creating circumstances that force us out of our comfort zones we can then begin to discover more things about ourselves and the world around us and what we want from it. By creating an environment for learning we are able to discover what makes ourselves tick and truly get up and go in the morning. Discovery only comes when we are searching for meaning and fulfillment in our endeavors.
Create circumstances in your life that you can look back on and forget whether you created them or you discovered them. Learning more about ourselves is what makes us better for people around us. Never stop trying to create chances and moments to discover what you were meant to do in this world, because the moment you stop trying to create those moments you lose sight of discovering who you truly are.
