Called To Create Podcast-Purposeful Fulfillment, Personal Development, Creative Entrepreneurship

Are you wanting more, more, more because you think that's going to get you what you want. Is that really what you want? To be doing more?

Or are you just running from how you really feel about yourself?

It's not bad to want more for yourself and your life, but what happens when it gets out of control and you aren't reaching the 'more' you've been working so much and so hard for?

Take a good look at what you've been doing and see what's behind all the doing.

Are you doing more than you have energy for?

I share my story of constantly, volunteering and volunteering even more because other people(parents) weren't volunteering.

When you come to know who you are at the very core of your being, and who God created you to be, then you will be unstoppable.

I know this because for about half of my adult life I have been on a journey to find out who God created me to be and what he wants me to do while I'm here on earth.

And now I don't have a desire to want to do more and more to the point of exhaustion.

I've come to know what really matters and what's just a waste of time. Time is one of those things that you can't get back!

Your past is in the past and you can't change it even though you wish you could.

You were operating according to your feelings and needs at the time.

I want to use the example of driving, you have to look ahead and pay attention so that you can stay in your lane, but when you only look in the rearview mirror, you're going to crash.

You have to be aware and be careful not to let the past suck the life out of you.

All the experiences you've ever had in the past are for your learning and to gain the knowledge and understanding you need about yourself and about life.

That's how you learn and grow and become a better person.

Think about what you learned from those things in the past you wished you could change.

Did you learn how much emotional strength you had? Did you learn what you like and what you don't like?

Did you learn what you're capable of in hard situations?

Did it help you to realize that you'll never do 'that' again?

Did it help you to see your capacity to love and to learn how to love yourself?

Ask yourself all those kinds of questions and look for any and all of the positive things that came out of your past.

If you can't get past your past mistakes, then it will be very difficult to move forward and focus on the future and create the kind of life you want to have now.

Your creative assignment: focus on the future

Welcome to the Called To Create Podcast where I talk about creating, being creative, personal development, business, and more.

You've heard that question before about taking a bird's eye view.

What would you see? Would you see yourself living a life that you like or love? Would you see yourself making a contribution to the people or causes that are super important to you?

It's important to take a step back and look at your life as often as can. Schedule it in!

I take a look at my life all the time and then I like to talk about it on this podcast.

The most effective teaching comes from experience. If I didn't do or don't do the things that I talk about and teach on then there's a disconnect with those that are listening. And you wouldn't believe anything I say.

So, why is important to take a bird's eye view?

Because it's common to fall into the day-to-day routine and grind and whatever other words you want to use to describe your life.

It might even scare you when you take a look.

And that's ok…that's the beauty of life, you can change. You can decide what you want your life to be like.

When I take a bird's eye view of my life, a certain time of the day, I see myself going back and forth from my office to the kitchen to look for chocolate or something to snack on when I'm frustrated with whatever I'm working on.

But in other parts of my life I would see that I'm doing ok or even pretty good, but definitely not perfect.

I know what areas I need to make changes to and where I need to change my thinking.

It is a lifelong journey to get where you want to go and be where you want to be, it doesn't happen in a month or a year because if you have a spouse or children or family, you can't force them to do what you want.

This is your creative assignment:

From your bird's eye view, identify at least 1 thing that you see and know needs to change.

Write it down! Get out your fancy notebook and write down what you see and make a decision that you are going to do what you can and need to do to make that change.

Improve your bird's eye view one step at a time.

Are you only looking at what's wrong and not the wins?

Are you even aware that you could be doing that?

Reflect on your life and what you do on a regular basis.

If you take the time to look at your wins, you'll come to find out that you've had more wins than you've had wrong.

You have to write it all down, reflect on all the good that you've done in your life. If you've done wrong or made bad choices, you'll be able to see that you have had more wins.

You will find what you're looking for and I talked about this in episode #100. If you look for the bad, you'll find it. If you look for the good, you'll find it.

Get a fancy notebook and write it all out, reflect on your life. If you'd like, you can make 2 columns with one column you can list all your wins, and the other column you can write down all the things that you think you've done wrong.

If you're not sure about your wins, then ask someone like a best friend.

When you take the time to focus on your wins, it becomes easier to feel confident about yourself and to know that you can overcome all the things you struggle with, even if it takes time.

Remember you have worth and value.

In today's episode, I want to talk about finding your rhythm because this idea popped into my mind one day.

A good example of rhythm is when you think about music is an arrangement of musical sounds, when you listen to music there's a rhythm to it it's a repeated pattern and when you can get into a rhythm like beautiful music it just flows and it feels good but, that also means that you have to know yourself in order to create this rhythm.

It can be harder to get into a rhythm when you're doing things that are hard or you don't completely know or understand.

There's a pattern to everything are there things you have to do before you do something in order to get into that rhythm.

Think about a time when you knew how to get into that rhythm, what did you have to do?

It's that flow that you want to have, and when you get into that rhythmic flow nothing can stop you now!

Have you ever experienced that and you didn't want it to stop?

Music is like that, especially when it's a beautiful song and you get familiar with the rhythm of the music and you don't it to end.

Have you ever played that song over and over because you liked it so much?

There's a rhythm and pattern to everything in life.

Where there's a flow to the things you do, then things in your life don't feel so stressful or seem like it's a struggle.

Restless nights? Could it be that you aren't feeling fulfilled?

The basic definition of fulfillment is happiness and satisfaction.

I wanted to talk about feeling fulfilled because I have a deep desire to feel fulfilled and I want you to have that too.

In episode #99, I talk about how easy it is to suppress any feelings that you have. If you haven't had a chance to listen to that episode, then go listen to it after you listen to this episode.

Fulfillment is different for everyone, not to mention the fact that we come from different places in the world and different cultures.

The need for fulfillment means that you have a stirring inside and that stirring comes from God because you have a mission to fulfill here on earth.

The kind of fulfillment you need and want will change over time as you grow and learn and experience different things in your life.

Do this for yourself today! Because you have worth and value.

Overwhelmed?! It can and will lead to procrastination.

There are at least 100 ways to deal with overwhelm that I've heard of, but, I'm only going to talk about one.

Write it out.

I want you to answer this question on paper.

Why am I overwhelmed?

It will reveal itself.

Here's are some examples of what's possibly going on:

I have to do things I don't want to do.

It's boring.

It takes too long.

I don't like doing (_that thing_).

I'm tired.

I would rather have someone else do it instead.

It's a waste of time right now.

It's not creative.

I don't feel like it.

Ultimately, you know what needs to get done first and what's the most important, and you're not incapable of figuring out what's most important or urgent.

There are always going to be days when it's hard to do the hard things.

Keep writing it out.

Your creative assignment is to get a colorful pen and write out on paper why you're overwhelmed.

⬇️

I can help you deal with overwhelm and limiting beliefs, staying aligned with your values and purpose so you don't get distracted by all the SHINY OBJECTS.

If you're a creative person who's interested in learning how to make your creative passion into a business I will help with clarity, I will hold your hand and walk with you from start to finish, and just like I used to sew elaborate outfits I will help you put all the different pieces together until you have a beautiful creation.

In episode #170, I talked about creativity is a gift and something that you have to do and that you're creative because you were given the gift of creativity by God.

It's deeper than art, and that it's a creation of bringing something into existence. Everything in existence is a creation

If you can recognize that creativity is your superpower then it would be incredible what you could create.

We create because we love beauty and it brings us joy.

Go back and listen to episode #170 if you haven't listened to it.

This is perfect timing because Walt Disney World just had a 50-year celebration that was a special on TV.

Everything they do is a creation and they work tirelessly to create an experience for people.

Think about it. If we couldn't create and use our gift of creativity, then what else is there to do in this world?

We would be wandering around this earth aimlessly!

There's a reason and a purpose for creativity to exist

and it has the ability to take you beyond what you know is possible. Have you ever amazed yourself after you finished making something?

It was probably because you were open to possibilities.

Ideas will always come into your mind and it's up to you to be open to them or not.

It is your superpower!

Guess what? Creativity is your superpower!

Have you ever heard anyone ever say that before?

You will have people say 'I'm not creative!' but that's just not true.

Definition of creativity: the use of the imagination or the creation of original ideas.

It's deeper than creativity in art, it's a creation-it's bringing something into existence.

Which by the way includes creating your thoughts, creating your feelings, creating your reality.

Anytime you create something it's going to happen by using materials that already exist, and either transforming it into something else or combining it with something.

There's a thing called creative problem solving and using your creative superpower will help you in ways that will amaze you.

REJECTION! Never Take It Personally!

I know that's easier said than done and, it can be super painful and debilitating! I know because I've had experiences in my life, especially as a teenager (if you know what I mean!)

But also in my business too. Early on when I used to make things and try to sell them at Craft Fairs and not very many people were buying the things that I made was really, really hard.

That felt like the ultimate rejection I could have ever experienced in my business.

In life and in your business you're going to have people reject you and/or your ideas, or, criticize you and, criticizing is also a form of rejection because they're being negative about what you say, do, and make.

But I want to tell you that to remember that

It's never about you when you're criticized or rejected, it's always about them-the other person.

When you are successful you will have people criticize you and then reject you because they usually aren't successful themselves and have a deep sense of lack they feel within.

You have two choices:

You can take the route that will lead you to ignore the critics and let it motivate you to prove that what you're doing is worth it, or, you can take the route that will lead you to get upset and drop out of life or your business.

Which are you going to choose?

You are different! Creative people like you are different! And being different comes with its own rewards like having success in your business, having a more fulfilling life, and more.

What can you do to motivate yourself when you've been rejected?

Here are the things that you can do:

Remember that you were created by God, remember your WHY, remember your creative gifts, and remember that with your gifts-you can make a difference in your family, your community, or the world.

If you want success in whatever you're doing you have to ignore the critics and remember that being rejected doesn't define who you are and it doesn't devalue your worth.

REMEMBER! Never take rejection personally!
