In the A to Z of Becoming, second part, M is for ‘make’.
I like the verb ‘make’ because its essence is creativity. To make something is to create something. But it’s broader than that somehow because it includes the wider sense of taking an action, of ‘making something happen’.
Maybe you could make some music this week? Play an instrument, sing a song…..I’ve recently purchased a new guitar (I got my last guitar when I was 13, and haven’t played it for almost 40 years) – and I can’t tell you just how much FUN it is to rediscover the chords, the notes, the ways of creating a rhythm.
Maybe you are good with your hands and you could make something in the sense of building or constructing something.
Maybe you could make a change – decide what you’d like to do differently and actually start doing it.
Maybe you could make a meal, or at least a cup of tea…..
Maybe you could make a difference in someone’s life with a simple gesture, or an act of kindness……..go on, make someone’s day!
The joy of making lies in doing it consciously, doing it with both intention and awareness. That’s what makes all the difference.
