Creation vs. Reaction: Same Letters, Different World

Read time: 3 minutes

A few weeks ago, I was on a short trip with my family.

I hadn’t seen my grandfather in years. My uncle was there too. These are people I love deeply.

I had intentionally cleared 3–4 days of my schedule—no sessions, no calls, no business building. Just presence.

But even then… I couldn’t stop thinking about work.

About all the things I “should” be doing.

• The clients I could be creating.

• The messages I hadn’t responded to.

• The next thing. The next level. The next milestone.

I couldn’t relax—because deep down, I wasn’t happy with where my business was.

And because I wasn’t happy with what I had, I couldn’t receive what was right in front of me.

I wasn’t creating. I was reacting.

Reacting to thoughts. Reacting to scarcity. Reacting to the belief that “this isn’t enough yet.”

I didn’t see it at the time. But now? I see it so clearly.

A few weeks later, I went on another family trip.

Different city. Different group. Same conditions.

But something had shifted in me.

• I no longer needed anything to be different.

• I no longer needed to force clarity.

• I no longer needed to argue with what was.

I let go.

I stopped reacting to the current circumstances…and I started creating from where I was.

And that changed everything.

Byron Katie says,

I stopped arguing. I accepted what was. I asked myself:

And I began to live from that place.

Not “fake it til you make it.” Not “just be positive.”

But truly feeling into the possibility that everything I need to create the Life I want is already here.

And since then?

• I’ve been having richer conversations.

• Old contacts are reaching out to work with me.

• Referrals have come through without me chasing them.

• I’m hosting a live webinar at the end of the month, and people are already asking about it before I’ve even promoted it.

• Long-term clients have renewed with enthusiasm.

• And I’m waking up… not in urgency—but in Love. With Life. With what is.

The business I was craving started flowing not because I gripped harder… but because I loosened my grip on how it needed to look.

Because here’s the real shift:

Reacting and creating use the same letters. They’re just rearranged.

So is your energy.

You can scramble it in reaction—or reorder it into creation.

I don’t know where this finds you today.

But maybe there’s something in your Life you’ve been fighting.

A number on a screen. A “not yet” in your bank account. A silence in your inbox.

Maybe it’s the weather. The news. A mood you can’t quite shake. Something you think needs to change before you can feel like yourself again.

But what if the problem isn’t the thing itself…

What if the only thing that needs to shift is who you’re being when you meet it?

Because here’s the truth:

The world is indifferent.

• The rain falls whether you love it or hate it.

• The algorithm keeps algorithm-ing.

• The bills don’t care if you’re in your purpose or not.

• Money has no morals.

• Politics have no pulse.

• The external doesn’t flinch.

But you? You have the power to meet it all—on your terms.

You get to decide whether you show up in reaction or creation.

In panic or power.

In fear or in truth.

The question isn’t “What’s happening to me?”.

The question is, “Who am I BEING while I meet this moment?”

Because how you meet the world determines the kind of world that meets you back.

And when you meet it with Love…

When you meet it with presence…

When you stop trying to outrun reality and start dancing with it—

That’s when everything opens.

With Love,

Julian
