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
