A Mother's Day Gift

May 13, 2012

Dear Friends,

A few years ago, I wrote a special message for Mother’s Day, which I have been reprising every May since then. The point of this annual message is to remind you about the similarities between motherhood and manifesting. What similarities, exactly? 

Well, as I often mention in these messages, you are a divinely creative being. No matter how happy and fulfilled you are, you will always be conceiving of things you want to have, do, or be in life . . . just as a mother conceives her children.  Through your words and your actions you will constantly be giving birth to your ideas . . . just as a mother gives birth to her children.  And, by giving your ideas your time, attention, and love, you will continually be nurturing your creations—of helping them to grow into full expression . . . just as a mother nurtures her children as they mature.

In other words, whether you are male or female, whether you have brought a child into this world or not, in many respects you are—at the core of your being—a mother . . . someone who is divinely designed to bring something new and beautiful into this world.  And this year, I would like to celebrate your “motherhood” by offering you a Mother’s Day gift.  It’s an Affirmation of Creativity that “wrote itself through me” in 2002. 

I trust that you will find this set of affirmative statements to be helpful, especially if you are having trouble fully accepting the idea that you are—by your very nature—divinely creative.

An Affirmation of Creativity

I am creative.
I can be nothing else.
To create is my natural state.
It is who I am as a Child of God, The Great Creator.
And thus, creativity is my inheritance,
my birthright, and my inescapable nature.
Being creative is not something I do,
but something I allow.
My job is simply to be an open channel
for the Universal Mind of The Divine
to express itself.
I keep the channel open
by eliminating the false fears of ego
that block my connection to Divine inspiration.
All that is required of me is desire and faith.
I renew my faith with memories
of all the times the Creative Mind of God
has suddenly and surprisingly
spoken to me and through me.
And I recognize that the fears of my ego mind,
although seemingly ceaseless,
are totally unfounded.
I am creative.
I can be nothing else.
And I now go about the work
of gratefully fulfilling
my creative destiny.

Steven
