"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~ Marianne Williamson.
In recent times, some experiments with children have shown them to be Creative Thinkers. Still, as they compared their experiences with adults, they found out that only about a small percentage (about 10%) of adults are creative thinkers.
As a child, your creativity was a combination of openness and a continuous learning process. Learning new ways of doing things as no one linked your self-worth to what you did or didn't do – your creative thinking ability had no limits.
If so, at what age do children stop being creative, open thinkers? Is it at the ages of 5 and 7?. Why is there a drop of creative thinkers at this age from 90% to 10%?
As a parent, I have found myself prayerfully seeking ways to create an environment for my daughter's creative thinking ability to be a continuous learning process for her and make sure it is ALL about her.
I know this pandemic has opened the opportunity for some parents to homeschool their children. Please make sure you're allowing the child's creative thinking ability to fully develop so that your child will feel a sense of safety and "self-worth." It is about the child and not just the convenience.
When learning is no longer positively encouraged, it becomes negatively encouraged. An "Excuse" becomes the only way to avoid scone and ridicule.
Many of us now see excuses as something we have needed most of our lives. It has become one of the most reliable methods to prevent you from feeling stupid. It was no longer safe to learn when it was no longer beneficial to admit you didn't know the answer.
This is where I believe we would have likely stopped learning. In almost every field of life, the pressure to know rushes us to form opinions, and when they are challenged, we argue, we defend them, and we make all kinds of excuses - even if they're not the right ones for us.
This is what I discovered for myself, whenever you and I have formed an Opinion, passed a judgment, or developed an assumption about something, place, person, etc., our brain activity actually changes. You stop noticing anything that will challenge your right or wrong opinion, judgment, or assumption - meaning you only see the things that validate your viewpoints.
The flip side of making excuses is that you actually start believing your excuses like I did mine back then. You will now notice that what had begun as an avoidance tactic for you has now become your reality – SCARY, especially when they're not the right opinion, judgment, or assumption for you.
Please understand that you can have the best excuse in the world and still have the problems, but what makes this most unpleasant is that it blinds you to that solution - it blinds you to God's intended solutions for you.
So the next time you're tempted to come up with an excuse not to do or be or have what you know inside you should be, do, and have - just remember, it doesn't change anything for you.
There are no Great excuses big enough to stop you except the ones you have willingly given power over your life, but you can take that power back starting from today.
I believe it is time to wake up, discover your message, and take delight in what makes you, YOU!
As my mentor Zig Ziglar would say, Put all your excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable.
Will you take back power from your great excuses today? Let us show you how...
Remember... You were designed for a lifestyle of effectiveness - make it count today.
