Make a Choice, a Promise, a Contract
Today I’d like to explain why I chose to write the eternal moment of NOW yesterday. There is a reason and if you haven’t figured it out yet I’d like to explain.
On the right column of this article there is a sentence that says, “Some believe they are powerless to control what happens in their lives, but there are a select few called Creators who powerfully create the lives they desire.” You see those who believe that they have no control over their lives believe that because they don’t understand the true principles that I am going to be teaching on CreatorsCreate.com
Let me prove it. Right now I want you to giggle. Yep, just let off a little jitter a little giggle. Was that there a minute ago? Really now, did that giggle exist before you had read the following words? No, it didn’t until the moment you created it, and you created it in the eternal moment of NOW.
I know you probably thinking that I am over simplifying all this, but the truth is that Every great creator has principles and practices that they employ to create the life they desire to create. They may not have pigeon holed, or earmarked what they do or have analyzed what they do with as much scrutiny as this I will on this blog, but nevertheless they do know how and they do whatever it takes to bring into existence the creations that they have created, and right NOW are working tirelessly to bring into existence many more beautiful creations.
They have practiced the skills necessary to create; they have disciplined themselves and make appropriate and powerful choices that make them masters of creativity. They create the lives they desire to create.
They don’t go around reacting to every stimulus as if their freedom of choice has been removed from them. They don’t blame others for failures or mistakes. They simply ask the question, “What is it that I desire to create?” And then they set out to create it. They are creators.
During World War II in the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz a man named Viktor Frankl made some very important observations. In this horrible death camp where he spent over three years and tragically lost his wife, Viktor Frankl discovered a powerful secret about man. In the helpless and distressed lives of his fellow prisoners Victor Frankl found the greatness of man. He found that there was something powerful in man.
It is ironic that he found the greatness of mankind in a place famous for cruelty and evil. A place where one people set out to exterminate another by the most inhumane atrocities known to man. He found the single most valuable freedom that man possess and can never be taken away from him without his consent: free will.
Victor Frankl wrote:
“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms-to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
And there were always choices to make. Every day, every hour, offered the opportunity to make a decision, a decision which determined whether you would or would not submit to, those powers which threatened to rob you of your very self, your inner freedom; which determined whether or not you would become the plaything of circumstance, renouncing freedom and dignity to become molded into the form of the typical inmate.”
Viktor Frankl found the greatest glory of mankind; in fact the greatest endowment of mankind is man’s ability to choose; man’s free will. He goes on to clarify this idea:
“In the final analysis it becomes clear that the sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision, and not the result of camp influences alone. Fundamentally, therefore, any man can, even under such circumstances, decide what shall become of him-mentally and spiritually.”
It is this very freedom of choice that allows each of us the ability, and even the freedom to create what we will. We all have the freedom to choose, and it is with that choice where we can choose to create the life we desire to create. We can choose to be creators.
 Today, I want you to write a contract with yourself.Sit down with a piece of paper and write out a promise to yourself. Write that today you make a choice to be the creator of your life. That you refuse to let others, and other factors be in control of your life. Today you are the Captain of your life. Today you take control and you are a CREATOR!Write it, sign it. Done. |
To your creations,
Michael Claridge
