Consume or create?

​We live in a consumer world. Consuming physical clutter. Consuming social media. Consuming food. It is overconsumption. Overconsumption that is destroying our environment, our bodies, and our minds. Hmmm… is this an exaggeration? Probably not!

 So what can we do about it? How about shifting the balance and creating more than we consume? Consuming less and creating more. We all have our unique set of skills to contribute to the world and contributing these skills is hugely rewarding. So share your story, your skills, your experiences. Give of yourself and watch your creations set seed and grow. Write that book that has been floating around in your head forever. Or those poems. Or scientific papers. Paint those paintings. Create those gardens. Write those songs. Set up that business or charity or community group. Become a contributor. Become a part of the solution. For the world will be a richer, more interesting, better place because of your creations.
