The Creator-based® Condition




Victims need villains.

Creators need heroes.

A hero could be a leader, mentor, role model, or life coach.


My heart skipped a beat to see hero and life coach in the same definition, but really, everyone needs a coach of one kind or another.  We all need someone who gets us and cheers us on.


Do you have villains in your life? I do.  The chocolate bar in my kitchen often becomes a villain, as well as the guy in customer service who just doesn’t get what I need.  We all have villains.  We all need heroes. 


Joseph Campbell was the Father of all hero studies.  He studied the myths and stories in ancient world literature and created a model called The Hero’s Journey.  It looks like this.  Can you locate yourself in the cycle?



Here are a couple tips that will make your journey smoother:

  • Take along a good sleeping bag.  We all need a soft landing space and someone to snuggle.  Be kind to your inner self. Curate your friend group.  Keep the ones that are kind to you and, in all honesty, love you. Be soft.
  • Carry the bare minimum, but be prepared.  Have you ever had a really great utility knife? The ones with the tweezers are my favorite.  So much opportunity in 6 inches of steel! Choose your life skills and tools the same way.  Don’t overburden yourself with too many rules and regulations.  Simple is best.  Accept what is, do what must be done, and do all things in love.


To quote one of my personal heroes, Lisa Rankin, “You are a hero.  I am a hero.  We are all, every single one of us, on what Joseph Campbell calls a hero’s journey carrying within us a Nelson Mandela, or Joan of Arc, or Luke Skywalker, or Mother Theresa, or Helen Keller.  We are Bilbo Baggins and Erin Brockovich and Oprah and Harry Potter.  Like these classic heroes, we are all little sparks of divinity on a mission to step into our true nature and fulfill the Divine Assignment our souls chose here on earth.”


Be the hero of your own story this week.  

Create a soft landing space.

Accept what is.

Do what must be done.

Do it all in love.


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....
