It doesn’t really matter what someone says they are trying to do. Or what they say their motives are. Know them by their actions.

Regardless of what anyone says, all any person is ever really doing is attempting to make something out of nothing or they are trying to make nothing out of something. Obviously, this can be accomplished in various ways. The primary effective method is by one’s thoughts. Take a relationship, for example: it exists solely because it is created and as long as it is created. Beings making something out of nothing. A business or organization that exists is an example of of something out of nothing. Sometimes we wonder why anyone would work on making something out of that? Why? Mountain out of a molehill. Not anything that anyone really wants but there it is, “created” for you. So, creation, is neither good or bad, unless one considers the creation “good” or “bad”. There are some things in life that get broad agreement as being “good”. Others that have broad agreement that they are “bad”.

All I want to look at here is what do you want? What are you trying to create? What are you attempting to make something of? What directly helps you do that? What people do you come into contact with or receive communication from that cause you to feel like you are more able to create what you want? When you are in communication with them your goals and aspirations are more real. It is easier to see yourself accomplishing them.

How about the flip side: nothing out of something? What are you trying to make nothing of? What are you attempting to reduce the effectiveness of or make smaller? Does making it less powerful or less effective help you to achieve your goals? Does working on that fully align with your stated goals?

There are those that offer advice and counsel on what you ought to be doing. Oddly enough, they haven’t ever actually done it themselves, but they can still clearly see what would be good for you to do. It isn’t really necessary to know why someone is doing something, just notice what they are working on – making something out of nothing or making nothing out of something? There are people who are working, non-stop, on making nothing out of something. And sometimes, that something is you.
