While I was posting information about my movie, Grand Prize Wedding,  I couldn’t help but think about how many years I tortured myself by not giving time to writing.  I used to hear this little voice in my head “why aren’t you writing?”, “when you are going to start writing again.”  It was actually pretty annoying.  I had a busy life with two little boys, but mostly I didn’t think I really could do it.  I wanted do deep down in the worst way, but rarely would work at it.  I would wonder “why?!” Why do I want to write a movie?  I’ll touch on that tomorrow.

I then thought of a conversation I had just last night.   I attended an event and met a women who works for the federal court system – does a fine job.  However, her passion is cooking.  She cooks new recipes every week and is even involved with a national test kitchen giving them results, etc.   She shared that after high school graduation she really wanted to go to cooking school in France and become a chef.  She then went on to say the million dollar phrase, “but I didn’t think it was something I could do.”  Ta daaaa!  There it is, a phrase I know oh so well.  A phrase I let direct my life for countless years.  I’d venture to say it’s a belief that plagues many of us.  Poor conditioning/programming or negative false beliefs bring on a myriad of negative self-talk: “I’m not good enough, I don’t know that world, no one in my family has done that, I’m not educated enough, I don’t know how to act in that world, I can’t do that!” Blah, blah, blah the list goes on and on.

Well it occurred to me if everyone thought that way, nothing would ever get done.  We wouldn’t have the arts, industry, technology we know and enjoy.  It all goes back to who created us and that fact that no person has any more or less capacity to do something than the other. When we really FEEL and know that God created us to be whoever, whatever we want to be, we won’t be afraid to do anything.  I believe are deepest dreams are Divine Inspiration.  When we shut down those little voices we are shutting ourselves off from Spirit and then boy do we have trouble.  I’ll touch on that later.

So what dreams are you shutting down with false beliefs?
