You Are Your Own Creation

First Things First

The first thing I want to do is define the word “Create.”  Who better to do that then Webster himself. 

To bring into existence.That’s it.  Pretty simple really.  The act of creation is to bring into existence that which was not there before. Let me explain.  One day I was surfing the Internet and came across a personal web page of some internationally renowned speaker. I have searched for that same site since and cannot find it. I’m sorry that I don’t have more specific information to give you.On the site he had some downloadable snippets of some of his speeches. I downloaded and listened to many that day, but one caught my particular attention. It went something like this:(I paraphrase because I don’t have the actual)
“Have you ever seen a dog give birth to a cat? Have you ever seen an elephant give birth to a parakeet?

“God created the Heavens and the Earth and everything that in them are. And He created man in His own image. We are created in Gods image. God is a creator. We are created in His image. We are creators.”

 

That was pretty profound. We are all creators. Creators of what? Creators of our own lives. In fact what I am about to say I want you to never forget – YOU CANNOT NOT CREATE!

Stop and think about it. Everything you do is a creation. Everything!

With that in mind think about it.  YOU CANNOT NOT CREATE!  Everything you do is to bring into existence something that was not there before.  Take it to its rudimentary form – the next breath you take did not exist until you created it.  The thought that you are thinking did not exist until you brought it into existence. When you really think about it, everything that you do is to create.

 

That being the case then understand this next truth. You are the creator of your life.  Believe it or not, you have been creating you from the first breath you drew as a baby.  Every experience you have had since that first breath has been yours and only yours to do with as you wished.  Nobody forced you to act, or react, or think the way you do.  Indeed, you have had free will since that very first breath.

 

You are where you are, doing what you do, and thinking what you think, and being what you are because you created it that way.  Whether you are happy or unhappy, rich or poor, fat or thin, successful or unsuccessful, you made it that way.

Your assignment today is to do a simple exercise.  Walk outside and yell at the top of your lungs, “Hello world, I’m (say your name) and I’m here to create the greatest day I’ve ever had!”  Then go out and do it. At the end of the day get out a piece of paper, a journal, anything and write about what you created.  How did it feel?  What was different about it?  Did you notice anything new?

 

Literally, you are your own creator.

To your creations,
