Gratitude for Confidence in Creating
It took me a moment to come to a decision on what we would be focusing on today. The fact is that there are multiple layers to the skill of creation.
In the beginning, it is like child’s play: making mud pies and calling them cookies. Then we learn we can make cookies by following directions in a recipe. And when we get really good, we can break the rules and make cookies by intuition.
It is easy to do things when there is a safety net or when others have proven it over and over. It’s nerve-wracking to be in a place where no one has proven the outcome.
My huge light bulb moment today was when I realized that the “breaking the rules” level is back to child’s play! Kids create with reckless abandon. They have no concept of resources, cost, safety or scarcity.
That is what it is like when we have gained so much evidence and followed the rules so many times that our confidence level is through the roof! It’s back to child’s play, abandoning the safety and boundary of rules.
I personally have been coloring outside the lines for a while now. I have practiced and followed the rules and now I am making and testing my own rules. Some of what I have created looks like a mud pie. Some of what I have created is a fabulous cookie like no one else has ever tasted.
One of my favorite thoughts, as I listened to Coleen share on today’s call is that God gave us the tools and the freedom to create, and a relatively safe place to experiment and become confident in creating.
Today, I Give Myself Permission to Pretend
- I am creating
- I am confident in my attempts
- I am playing with ideas and imagination
- I am practicing
- I am learning as I go
- I am having fun creating!
- I love the wonderful, glorious mess I am in!
- I am having fun and inviting my friends to come play with me
- I am on a new playground and it is great!
- I am on my playground and I get to invite whoever I choose to come play with me
- I abandon all thoughts of scarcity, doubt, worry and fear and focus on fun!
- I pretend and it is real to me
