Creation vs. Chaos

Beginning the conversation is the first step to an outcome. Now a successful outcome has stipulations attached, whereas simply accepting what shows up is the lowest common denominator, and requires no effort at all: But, it's end is chaos.

To live life intentionally requires planning, and then mixing the plan with faith. (Faith may be a deeply held belief that the existence of your outcome is birthed, and growing in strength that you support and defend)

When a plan has been formulated, at that point, all other considerations must dissolve or be merged in a congruent way with the plan, or one's plan morphs into a double minded quandary that will suck energy and eventually collapse for lack of intention, leaving destruction in its path: This will add to chaos.

Creating outcomes that find energy within a plan will establish purposes which enhance the intent of the desired end, the purpose filled outcome. The make-break point seems to be this question: what are you willing to sacrifice for the good of the plan, or the completion of the end desire.

The reason for this demand, is that in nature as well as in a spiritual sense, all effort requires sacrifice. Nothing survives without the ongoing attention and support to sustain and grow. This is true if the plan relates to a relationship, a business goal or whatever.

Anything in life that requires sustained intention involves sacrifice. Sacrifice always creates a struggle: We agonize with sacrifice. The point of courage then is to struggle and agonize with faith, rather than to struggle and agonize with complaints: One way leads to life, the other to chaos and death. To then agonize over the struggle is the path of foolishness, as struggle and wrestling with the issues of life remains regardless of your intent or desire.

All planning that produces a creative, successful outcome requires sacrifice, and all sacrifice wrestles with faith to become, and it is therein a nobility of purpose is birthed. All sacrifice is confronted with the never ending life of struggle, generally it is a struggle with a demanding force to stop. Ergo, by default, purpose which wrestles with self-interests, complaints, doubts, become destroyers of character which find an end in internal chaos, and a failed plan. This purpose has in fact stopped as well, and in both cases the creative process dissolves into chaos.

Our primordial heart beat, cries out that we utilize the creative process which is our gift to life. Want a successful outcome? Wrestle with the giving of yourself sacrificially. The problem is that to live with sacrifice, and to live that intention successfully requires hope. Hope that you decide will not fail: it is all up to you. Hope, the belief that your act of faith towards a specific end will manifest; it is the newborn that must be protected. The war hardened spirit of sacrifice is the protector of hope. Now if faith and hope are the essence of success, is it in this that reason and wisdom are birthed, and a new existence presents to await your acceptance. Is it all predicated on hope, hope which is birthed in a primordial heartbeat that echoes from ages past, a heart beat of an eternal love being expressed?
