Three Laws of Nature: Creation, Maintenance, and Destruction
As we move through life, we’re always cycling through these three phases, sometimes all at once. Understanding them helps us recognize the deeper mechanics at play in our lives.
Here’s a quote to keep in mind as we examine these phases:
“Embrace the unknown with enthusiasm. The unknown represents the field of all possibilities. It represents the field of progressive change itself. The ever-repeating known, that is that which we know already, represents the field of stagnation.” ~ Thom Knoles
✨Creation: New beginnings, fresh energy
Example: Starting a new project, relationship, or job
Feels like: That spark of something new calling you. Stepping into the unknown, where all possibilities live.
Quote connection: Unknown = Possibility = Creation
🌿Maintenance: Nurturing what still serves
Example: Taking care of things you’ve already created or that are still important
Feels like: The steady, reliable energy of preserving what’s good. But staying here too long can lead to stagnation.
Quote connection: Honor what’s working, but stay open to change.
🔥Destruction: Letting go to make space
Example: Ending a relationship, quitting a bad habit, or leaving an old job
Feels like: Might be uncomfortable at first, but ultimately leads to something more evolutionary.
Quote connection: Let go = Space for new = Progress
Whatever phase you’re in, know it’s part of your evolution. Ride the wave. Welcome the change. Let it take you forward. 🌊
