When we are stressed out or challenged beyond what we believe is our capacity, we find ourselves at a choice point. We can give in to the situation either by giving up or by surrendering. We can choose to fight or stay in the game long enough to see if we are made of anything else.  We can make room for our creativity to bubble up and invent a new way of handling things.  We can affirm who we know ourselves to be and recognize that no circumstance can change who we are at our core.  These options come from a reserve present in our hearts. We may not even know it is there because we have managed thus far to exist mostly in our minds. Everything around us confirms that we can and should be able to think our way out of whatever it is. The truth is as whole human beings we are neither heart or mind, we are the two together. Until we are challenged, we may not discover the reserve in our hearts.  Until we find ourselves in something not predicted by our mind, do we look within to find the reserve. The energetic courage reserve at the core of our being is always there for us.  God created it within us so we would never lose our connection to the truth and power of love.  Our mind may jump in telling us of our limitations because it does not want to be maxed out due to possible survival implications, but it can only have the final say if we do not invite our mind into the reserve of our hearts. Creativity begins with the interplay between our hearts and our minds.
