In our society there is this mindset that constantly is pushing us to think big, dream big, and hustle harder, it’s easy to overlook the small victories that happen every day. We’re conditioned to celebrate the big milestones—landing that promotion, buying a house, or achieving a major life goal. But what about those tiny, seemingly insignificant wins that quietly shape our journey?

It all starts with perspective. Most of us are conditioned to see problems as negative, as roadblocks that disrupt our plans and throw us off course. But spiritual creativity invites us to look at these problems through a different lens. Instead of seeing them as setbacks, we can view them as opportunities for growth, as chances to create something beautiful from the unexpected.

Here’s the paradox: by setting boundaries, you’re not cutting people off—you’re actually creating the capacity to give more, and give better. When you have strong boundaries, you protect your energy and your mental space. You’re not constantly on the defensive, guarding against others taking advantage of you. Instead, you’re in control, and this control empowers you to give from a place of abundance rather than obligation.
