Are you A Creator?
In Genesis 1:27 it says "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him" Have you created your own reality?
Wow, a mind-blowing question. I have been on this planet for thirty-eight years, but have I ever really embraced the fact that my reality is my own to control? Yes of course life happens as it does to all of us. Someone cuts you off in traffic, accidents on the freeway, you stub your toe on the corner of the couch (ouch), or someone dies, so many things in a day the possibilities are limitless.
How do you respond to what life is dishing out? Are you responding positively or negatively?
Never forget that words have power. The words you tell yourself and the ones that others tell you. We must always be selective of the things we listen to and expose ourselves to because one day they could become our reality.
The universe has worked so many things out for me, but mostly when I believed in it happening. Have you ever had an experience like this? You really wanted something to happen but didn't know how it would so you let go of the idea, but it still worked out the way you wanted it to in the end.
When we are not willing to accept the fact that we are the creators of our own experiences this leads us to restrictive thinking. Restrictive thinking is very common, another name for it is "thinking inside the box" Basically your thinking is restricted to your own thoughts, ideas, and habits of what should be, is, or what is possible.
Let me give you an example. Someone who has great idea's about starting a business but does not imagine or can't imagine themselves as being a business owner.
One of my favorite quotes which originated with Dr. Miles Munroe says, "The graveyard is the richest place on earth because it is here you will find all the hope and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or stay determined enough to carry out their dreams."
The way you think successes or failures are the driving force of your actions. Especially if you want to reach Self-actualization. Learn how to become intentional about what you want in life and what you see for yourself.
Of the seven to eight billion people on this planet, as I write these words, each one of us is unique in his or her own way. They are the only version of themselves that has ever been or will ever be. What does one do with that type of power?
Be Creative!
