God Doesn't Have Time to Create a Nobody

"God doesn't have time to create a nobody... only a somebody." - Mary Kay Ash

This is my favorite quote.  It was something I heard many years ago and it has been my anthem ever since.  (Although I have to admit that sometimes I forget and take on a nobody personality)

What does this statement mean to you?

It means two things for me. But what I think may be different from what you think so please feel free to chime in.

First, it means that God took the time to make me.  I am a unique master piece of gifts, talents and even flaws that God crafted with his own hands.  There is no one else in the whole universe like me!!!!  How cool is that?

Then, if you believe the adage that we are also created in His image, I am not a mortal human body, but a divine soul with the power to create miracles in my own life.  Ok, so I may not be able to wiggle my nose and make things appear and I'll grant you that I have to create these miracles through  A LOT of hard work on my part.  But still, I can achieve anything I can dream up.

If God spent all that effort to create me, what am I supposed to do with all this power?  Do I hide it and try to fit in or do I use it to create?  What if people don't like me because they feel I act like I'm better than them?  What if they criticize me for going against the norm?  And what if I try to be the somebody God created and I fail, will God be disappointed in me?

Well, my answer to that question is that I was put here to use all those gifts and talents to the best of my ability.  My talents are meant to be used to give my life meaning and to bring me and those I come in contact with joy. I have flaws so that I can grow and learn.  (By the way, many things I have considered to be or been told are flaws are actually part of my strength and beauty.)

How are you showing up as a somebody at this moment?

Like I said though, I've had days when I forget that.  Like when I show someone I like or respect who I am and they reject me.  I get stuck in that loop of what did I do wrong and what do I need to change to be the person they want?  That's when I start thinking I'm a nobody.  This is where I start thinking with my ego and not my heart.  I get off track because I have let these people determine my worth when I should just let them go and move forward.  Does this ever happen to you?  What do you do about it?

Balance in Relationships

I know you read my posts about achieving your big dream and I know that as awesome and amazing as they are; they are really daunting.  Ok lets be real here… they are just flat out scary so you’re thinking coaching may not be for you.   Ok, I can buy that, but perhaps there are smaller more manageable areas in your life that might need a little tweaking.  For example, maybe there is a personal or professional relationship that you want to improve.  

There could be a coworker or boss who causes you stress at work.

Do you wish a loved one supported you more?

Maybe you are dealing with the emotional roller coaster of your teenager. 

You may not realize it, but when one area of your life is out of balance, it affects the other areas of your life as well.  Let’s take a moment to look at each one and pinpoint some of the things that may be showing up in you life. 

The boss or coworker scenario may show up in all manner of ways. Just a couple of examples might be that you take your frustration out in the car. You may drive too fast or cuss other drivers out under your breath (or out loud). It could be showing up as fatigue.  When you get home you are simply too tired to do anything but flop down in your favorite chair and veg thus creating a situation where you may not feel like taking part in family activities. 

What about getting more support from a loved one?  This can be a real downer when you really want to accomplish something and you keep hearing how impossible it is or what things you lack to make it happen or worse, your excitement is met with indifference.  Maybe your going through something at the moment and you just wish the loved one would just show up to hug you. 

Teenagers are one of the most difficult relationships.  Yesterday you had sweet, loving children and suddenly you find yourself faced with Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde.  They test the boundaries of everything you say.  They seem hostile, moody and closed off from you emotionally.  Yesterday, you were a super hero and your kids looked up to you but today you feel like the stupidest person on the planet. 

What would it feel like to have peace in these areas?  How would that peace affect your overall energy level?
