7 Maxims For Life
At Creatio, we embrace 7 Maxims For Life, guiding principles that have the potential to transform your life.
In our commitment to improving the world around us, we realize that the starting point for any sort of meaningful and lasting change is from within. It is with great pleasure that we present to you our 7 Maxims For Life in hopes that you find just as much use for these as we have.
I. The Power Of Your Mind
Your mind is the most powerful tool you have in your possession. The thoughts we feed, the beliefs we hold and the habits we cultivate not only determine the person we become, but the outcome of our lives. Our minds create our reality.
Realizing the power of your mind calls for you to turn your attention inward. Thoughts and ideas are like seeds, and our mind like fertile land. Our beliefs and perspectives are the fruit of seeds you have culminated throughout your life. It is your job to weed out all which does not serve you or incite growth and to plant new seeds which do.
Anything you see in your mind has the potential to be brought into reality. Control your mind, control your life.
II. Connect With God
When we connect with God, we nourish the unseen but most essential parts of our being. God is the Creator of everything and is present everywhere, in all things, at all times. Just as any great creator leaves a piece of themselves in their work, so does God with us.
As you move through life, you will face adversity and challenges. Your connection to the divine gives you the strength and wisdom to overcome any obstacle. When you understand that you are a reflection of the greatest Creator, you see problems as roadblocks to navigate around.
Just as there is purpose in birds flying south for the winter, or trees shedding their leaves in the fall, God has given purpose to you, the reader. Connect with God, and watch your perspective and life transform.
III. Lead With Love
Love is the most transformative power we have as human beings. Leading with love is not just a sentiment or idea—it’s a call to action. In a world filled with chaos, hate, and negativity, this maxim encourages you to act as a beacon of love. Treat each person you meet with compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to understand.
Despite any differences we may notice in others, we share the same creation and fate. Just as you experience happiness, sadness, anger, and loss, so do the strangers you pass on the street, the barista who gets your order wrong, or the driver in front of you. We are all just children who age physically, trying our best to navigate life for the first time.
Just as your hands, legs, and eyes work together in harmony, so too were human beings made to work together. To work against each other is contrary to our nature. Lead with love, and watch your life and relationships transform.
IV. Never Stop Creating
As reflections of the ultimate Creator, it is in our nature—and our duty—to create. Creation isn't limited to the physical; it includes every form of expression we offer as human beings. It can be as simple as starting a conversation with a stranger, creating a friendship, or building a memory—anything that begins in the mind.
Being in a state of creation is essential to living a fulfilling life. It opens doors for self-expression and personal growth. Creating is a way of honoring the divine piece of God within you, nourishing the unseen but vital aspects of your being.
Take time to explore yourself deeply. What legacy do you want to leave behind when your time here is over? In a world that constantly promotes overconsumption, be the exception. What you create in this world is a reflection of your soul. Never stop creating.
V. Power In Persistence
Being reflections of the ultimate creator, it is in our nature and our duty to create.
Creation is not limited to the physical, rather it encapsulates every form of expression we pose as human beings. Creating can be as simple as bringing forth a conversation with a stranger that didn't exist. Creating a friendship, a memory, or anything that starts from the mind.
Being in a state of creation is vital to living a fulfilling life, offering opportunities for self-expression and personal growth. It is a way of honoring and feeding the piece of God that you were created with, the unseen but most vital parts of our being.
Delve deep into self and explore. What mark do you want to leave behind when you leave this life?
In a world that promotes over consumption, be the exception. "As you so, so shall you reap." Never stop creating.
VI. Embrace Lifelong Learning
Knowledge is power. This ancient saying holds true, especially when we remember that each of us is experiencing life for the very first time. All that we know is what we’ve acquired this far. To become a lifelong student is to commit to an endless journey of seeking knowledge and expanding one’s understanding. It means keeping an open mind and recognizing the limits of our own knowledge and perspective.
There is always something to learn. Knowledge truly is power, opening doors to new possibilities and fresh ways of thinking. It pushes us beyond our comfort zones and into new realms of growth. Set aside your ego, embrace silence, and be willing to learn. The more we learn, the more we grow, shaping our minds and our lives in the process.
VII. Seize The Day
Though our experiences in this life may vary, our fate is shared: we are all going to die one day. This is not a thought to fear, but an invigorating reminder. Seize the day is a call to action, urging us to make the most of what we have in front of us, rather than delaying for an uncertain tomorrow. It is a mindset that encourages living consciously and with purpose in every moment.
Wake up each day with an open heart and mind, embracing challenges not with resentment, but as opportunities for growth—greeted with enthusiasm. Our time here is finite, and each day that slips through our grasp is a missed chance to live fully. Seize the day.
