Creating Your Life

What an amazing, awesome, wonderful day!

I had the most amazing breakthrough during my morning meditation today--I had to write!

THE STORY

So this morning I was meditating on the idea that we create our own life and what that means exactly.

You see, I believe in God. More specifically, I believe that I am a child of God--we all are. Paul said to the Romans, "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." (Romans 8:16, KJV)

And I believe this quite literally--not as an allegory.

Now I'm going to take this a step further, and here comes the fear of falling--the fear that I am going to alientate and offend any super religious folks who may be reading this blog. But, as I said when I started out, if we don't feel like we're falling, we are not walking by faith!

So here goes.

I believe that we have within us God's "DNA," so to speak. Like God, WE ARE ALL POWERFUL. (Anyone offended by my blasphemy yet?)

Christ himself said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do." (John 14: 12, KJV, my emphasis)

So what did God do when He created the earth? He spoke, and it was so.

What did Christ do when He was on the earth? He spoke, and it was so.

And we have the very same power. We have the power to create anything we want just by "speaking" it into existence. In Proverbs, we read, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." (Proverbs 18:21, KJV) and Christ told his apostles, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matt 17:20, KJV, my emphasis)

Nothing shall be impossible to you. NOTHING.

So why is it that we struggle so much? Why is it that we don't just fly around or heal people at will or all become instant millionaires?

I believe that it is because we don't know yet how to use the power. Just like when we were born we had to learn how to move our arms and legs, and then we had to learn how to walk and run, and then we learned how to talk, and then had to learn how to control our bowels, and then we had to learn how to read and so on...

We need to constantly learn how to use what we have been given.

We are all powerful, but we need to learn how to use our power.

I like to think of it like those superhero stories--you know, that moment they discover they have this power. But they have to learn how to use it. In modern stories (like the X-Men comic books and movies, the mega TV hit Heroes, or one of my favorite, lesser-known TV shows, 4400), the characters are actually afraid of this power--afraid they can't control it and it will harm somebody, or afraid of being different.

THE LESSON

Anyway, this morning I had an amazing revelation. A powerful insight into what this power is really like.

You see, we are constantly creating everything around us. As Lisa Nichols said in The Secret, "there is no stop or pause button."

So how is it that things seem so messy? I couldn't explain it...until now.

What I realized this morning is that we are like a giant paintbrush, oozing paint out of every pore. As you can imagine, everything we touch gets paint all over it--all the time--whether we intend it or not.

If we put our hand on a canvas, we might like what we see, but when we go to sit on the couch--look out! Mess. Mess everywhere.

And have you heard the term, "What you focus on expands?"

Well if we are giant paintbrush, and whatever we touch gets paint on it, what happens if we touch something a LOT? You guessed it--lots of paint, lots of mess.

Have you ever tried to clean up a paint spill with a cloth that already has paint on it? The spill expands. And that's what happens when you focus on something in your life--whether it is good or bad, it gets bigger.

So here's what we need to do. We must first acknowledge that we are this giant paintbrush. We simply have to stop denying it. No matter how hard you try to ignore it or pretend it's not true, you can't change the fact that you are what you are (a child of God--i.e. a giant paintbrush).

Once you stop resisting the idea, you realize that you are very powerful. In fact, you can paint whatever scenery you want. Don't like it? You can change it! You are the painter--you are in control!

Of course it takes time and practice to learn to control and really refine your power. In fact, I believe that you will never truly perfect it in this life.

But the more you practice, the better you will get. And before you know it, you will be able to create whatever you want with relative ease.

The real trick will be to discover what you want to create. But that's a lesson for another time.

• Did you know that you are creating your own life? What have you created so far? If you're not sure, look around--that's your painting. The great thing is, YOU are in control. T. Harv Eker wrote in his book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, "Most people don't get what they want in life because they don't know what they want in life!" Get out a piece of paper right now and write what you would like your life to be like. Write it in positive terms--avoid the word "not," because that just conjures up the unpleasant thing. Each day, write down one thing you did to come closer to what you want your life to be like.
