Creator-based® Calamities


 Oh my gosh! I made a mistake and it’s a calamity!  Did you see last week’s post? The word ‘because’ was where the word ‘becoming’ should have been! Eeeeeeeek!  It made no sense and looked so bad!

The things I send out should be perfect right? Wrong.  I’m not perfect.  You’re not perfect.  Why would what I write be perfect?


A Creator-based® life is a whole new way to view (and make) mistakes.


Mistakes can be our safety/pressure release valve.  Have you ever been so crazy busy and frazzled that you make dumb mistakes? That happens to me all the time.  I get all up in my head and start to stress.  Then I goof up.


When I goof up I generally have two options-  berate myself & admit defeat, or forgive in love and move forward.  


Could there be a third option? What if I saw that mistake as an opportunity to notice the speed at which I was moving, take a breath, and choose to restore my focus?


What if I chose to immediately focus on the mistake, deeply and singularly seeing it and then, course correct?  What if I stayed in that loving place and was grateful for the mistake that brought me back to the present?


Seriously, a mistake is a gift. It’s the perfect time to breathe, accept, and move forward on a better, singular path, a little more slowly and probably more sanely.


So, are mistakes catastrophic? Not usually.  Usually, they are a sweet reminder of our humanness, and a call to slow down a little, refocus, and be grateful.


Could you be grateful for that misspelled word or that fender bender? Even when it’s crazy and public?  Maybe.  Try it and see.


Here are the steps:

  • Mistake 
  • Permission to be human  
  • Recognize I was unfocused 
  • Grateful for the reminder  
  • Become present, refocus (fix the mistake)and move forward again


Backward law #3 Slowing down allows us to do more.


That’s how we live a Creator-based® life, embracing one mistake at a time and making something better from it.


Have an amazing week y’all!


love,

Beth

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life.  However; some time ago, that life had gotten so out of control, I had forgotten what

Creator-based® Consiousness

  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend group, without a fantasti
