Creator-based Complete Part 1

 Creator-based Complete

 


When I was little, there was a phrase going around.   


'Please be patient with me.  God isn’t finished with me yet.'


It didn’t make sense to me as a child because, as a child, 

I knew everything grew and changed.


As the years passed into adolescence (and body image became a thing), through young adulthood (and careers became a thing) into adulthood, where our image is important to society, somehow I created the belief that I needed to be completely perfect now.


Enter the belief, “I am not good enough.”


Oh, goodness, that is a poisonous belief!  It is victimizing, shame-producing, and incapacitating.  Not a created belief to keep.


The question is, what do we do to release and change that ubiquitous belief?  Sister, if you asked 100 people on the street if they had felt not good enough, 99 of them would say yes.  It is common to us all.


That’s the first step.  Remember that everyone feels this way from time to time.  Some even feel this way most of the time, and that’s okay.  Acknowledge it.  It’s real.  There is no shame here.  You are not alone.


Second step: Do a fearless moral inventory.  Where are you not as good as you'd like to be? Where are you good enough? Where are you really good? Where are you amazing?  Tap into your Creator, ask for help.  You will see just how good you are.  Write it all down.


Third step: Decide to focus on one area that you feel less than stellar with these beliefs:


I could be wrong about my thinking.

The answer is there.

It’s a minor, easy fix.


Your mind will argue with you that it's a much bigger problem than that, and that’s okay.  Be kind to her like you would any three-year-old.  Reassure, get her a cookie, console her, and kindly help her calm down and try to accept these three new beliefs.  If she doesn't accept them, it's okay.  There are more cookies.


Just practice those beliefs for a few weeks.  You need to do nothing more.  Memorize. Post. Believe.  Keep practicing.  Just rest in it for a while.


Because you see, your Creator is not finished with you yet.  You could be wrong (and probably are) about thinking you’re not good enough.  The answer is there, and it’s a small, easy fix.  It's as easy as tapping into your Creator and believing something different.


Baby steps, Bob.

You’ve got this.


We’ll talk more about enoughness again soon.


For now, believe me.  


You are totally good enough.  


You’re simply human like all of us, and we love you.


All my love,

Beth

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 gro...

Creator-based® Coaching is born!

  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....
