I Am a Creator

My 5 year old used my bendable rollers first to make a wand then the next day he transformed it into miniature dumbbells.  Although I had a good idea what they were I asked him, “What’s that?” 

He replied:  ”It’s a weight mommy.”

I said, “Great job!” 

He affirmed, “I am a creator, right mommy?”

I agreed, “Yes you are.”

I was tickled that my baby used the word “creator”.  I thought it was an interesting statement for a five year old to make.  After all aren’t we all ultimately the creators of our own destinies?  Don’t we use the resources that we currently have available to shape and construct our reality? 

It is our ability to master our minds that in many cases determines how we live our lives. Yet we consistently allow our trains of thought to run amuck with unsavory ideas and self doubt that plant the seeds of our own destruction.  We forget that we are indeed creators, that in each and every situation we have the ability to build the life we choose. 

At times I long for the mind of a child, those days when everything was possible.  There was no limitation, in your mind you could be and do anything.  If we were all were as bold as my 5 year old affirming that we were indeed creators perhaps we can recapture the feeling that the possibilities in life are limitless. Perhaps we can take a lesson from my  five year old and empower ourselves by asserting that as creators we can construct whatever it is we desire, building  what we want by using the resources that we have available.
