Unleash Your Creativity

2/14/2024

You can’t be spontaneous and judge yourself at the same time. It’s not what people will think about me that holds me back from being spontaneous, it’s what I think they will think about me that holds me back from being spontaneous. Creativity is spontaneity. Therefore, you cannot take creativity seriously. Seriousness is the block to creativity. The moment you begin to take anything too seriously you cut yourself off from your creative spirit. I often remind myself that seriousness is just fear pretending to act like a grown-up. This 44 second video includes encouragement from John Cleese.

"The main evolutionary significance of humor is that it gets us from the closed mode to the open mode quicker than anything else." –John Cleese

Your Royal Road of Success

If all that the Father has is yours, there’s no need for skimping! –Charles Fillmore

Do you ever consider if the choices you make are fit for a King? Do you have your best interests in mind when making decisions?

The luxury clothing store Barneys New York had a great slogan during its heyday. It was, “Select, don’t settle.”

What a wonderful commitment to make for ourselves: select, don’t settle. It all begins with our thinking. Are the thoughts you choose to entertain about yourself and your circumstances fit for a King? Or do you just condemn, complain, and curse? The royal road to health, happiness and prosperity is paved with thoughts fit for a King.

Whatever you allow to occupy your mind you magnify in your own life. The fact is that what we think upon grows. Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind. Where your attention goes energy flows. Whatever is the subject of your thought, be it good or bad, the law works and the condition grows. So, if you desire to enjoy more of what you love and less of what you don’t, remember that you are the King. You are the one who has the power and authority over the thoughts you think and the choices you make. See yourself occupying the inner throne of your consciousness. Rule with love and faith.

Don’t give up your throne by taking offense. As soon as we start to complain about anyone, we abdicate our throne and we let them take it. When this happens we have the choice to either let someone we are upset with rule our consciousness or we can reclaim the throne and remain in power. Take the kingly perspective by realizing that all human behavior is expressed as one of two things: either love or a call for love. Knowing this, you can choose to see the offender as coming to you for absolution. They are asking for your blessing. So, give them the royal treatment. Crown them with love and your self-esteem will remain intact.

Dr. David J. Schwartz encouraged many to upgrade their thinking by thinking like an important person. For example: when worrying he suggests asking yourself, “Would an important person worry about this?” When it comes to having an idea to consider ask yourself, “What would an important person do if he or she had this idea?” How about language? “Am I using the language of a successful person?” What about what you’re reading? “Would an important person read this?” How about when you lose your temper? “Would an important person get mad at what I’m mad at?”

I know that when I relinquish my throne and allow another to occupy my seat, either because I'm resentful or afraid of their opinion, I lose my birthright. I am acting like an impostor, and it feels terrible. I’m drained of all my confidence and the fear of other people's opinion of me grows. When this happens, I’ve found that the best way to restore me to sanity is to quickly visualize myself back in the throne of my consciousness. This simple exercise can be considered an affirmative prayer, a short meditation that reconnects me with my true identity as a unique child of God. This practice quickly renews my confidence, sense of well-being, and position of power.

You deserve the royal treatment. Select, don’t settle. Think like an important person. You always have the power and authority to anoint all your circumstances with thoughts of love and success. Make the choice that’s fit for a King. You are a King!

The Oath Of Manifestation

Are you stuck? Feeling uninspired and unmotivated? Are you ready to enjoy a shift for the better? Then take the Oath of Manifestation.

*Side effects may include a flurry of inspired ideas accompanied with an increase in enthusiasm and overall improvement in your circumstances.

The Oath of Manifestation
by Dr. Cheryl Ward

I am God's Rich Child!
Therefore, I accept and receive unexpected good, unexpected money, unexpected love, unexpected kindness, unexpected generosity, unexpected offers, unexpected prosperity coming in unexpected ways from unexpected places in my life and the life of others.

I am constantly guided, and boldly empowered, to receive the lavish abundance of the Universe!

I accept the Principle that abundance and prosperity have already been given to me.

My acceptance makes it real and opens the space for manifestation to rush in!

I open wide the doors of my consciousness to receive and to give!
It IS done now!

Thank you, God!

When you pray affirmatively it is God who goes to work so your own limitations do not matter.

Make Bad Art!

You cannot create and judge at the same time. Tell your critical mind that you're just going to have fun and make a mess before you start. This relaxes its obsession to judge and seek perfection. Then your heart is free to create through you effortlessly. This 1-minute video is an experience I shared during the "Let Go and Have Fun at fArt Camp" workshop.

This postcard of a child's drawing was sent to me from a friend. It included the following quote by Anna Quindlen. "The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."

Misery has plenty of company. Dare to be happy!

I greet the good that is on its way to me.

I live with an attitude of positive expectancy, trusting the good I seek is on its way. Even though it may not yet be apparent to my eyes, my heart's wisdom guides me to remain open and receptive.

I still my mind with affirmations of gratitude and center my attention on uplifting thoughts. Aligning my heart with the harmony and energy of God, I feel a quiet, serene joy bubbling up within me.

I welcome the wonderful outcomes that are unfolding. I greet the good that already exists in potential, my optimism helping me envision the best outcomes for myself and my dear ones.

Believing that life is innately good, I more easily find myself in the right place at the right time. Optimistic and grateful, I welcome the joyful experiences that are flowing to me now.

"For nothing will be impossible with God." -Luke 1:37
