The power of a co-creator is an enlightening experience in itself. As we experience the transformation process on the path of enlightenment, we discover just how our role as a co-creator will empower us to succeed. In the article, The Power of a Co-creator Pt.1: No Stumbling Blocks for Success, we discussed how there is nothing blocking our success when we choose the path of enlightenment and let go of the entrapments of the ego. Accordingly, if we get out of our own way, we can catch God's or Source Energy's vision for our lives. That vision is our purpose and answers the questions...who am I and why am I here.
Unfortunately, when we allow the ego in the driver's seat, we lose our footing as a co-creator because we are not living as our true and authentic self. Allowing the ego to take control hinders our growth and we make decisions out of pain, fear, and confusion. As such, the ego will always refuse to grow and advance. This lack of growth and advancement causes disruptions in the flow of abundance, wealth, and success.
Take a look at any advancement a person refuses to make in his or her life. If a person refuses to advance his or her career by leaving a dead-end job, then instead of moving forward, that person may be fired or forced into early retirement. When speaking with such individuals, they usually say: "I should have left sooner." And with this regret is a long list of opportunities they allowed to pass them by.
Another example of refusing to advance could be a person who refuses to eat more healthful foods. Consequently, this individual's health may start to deteriorate, physically and mentally. When stricken with a degenerative disease, the individual usually says: "I wish I'd starting eating healthier sooner."
Often times in life, we want to blame our failures on lack of information or resources; however, in most cases our failures are related to complacency and fear—the entrapments of the ego. If we can develop the courage and wisdom to embody knowledge when it is available to us and to advance in the face of fear, then we will have more successes than failures. And this is the stuff that makes truly successful people. With this commitment to the true and authentic self, we progress on the path of enlightenment. We operate on the creative plane instead of the competitive plane.
Sometimes it is hard to believe, but successful people are not born. Successful people do not have some all powerful gene you didn't get. One is successful not because he or she has no failures; one is successful because he or she has more successes than failures. Moving forward and choosing to advance in every aspect of our lives is success. Does it mean that one would not be scared or afraid? Certainly not!
In fact courage is doing a thing in spite of one's fear. If there is no fear, there is no courage. And in time, with more successes, there will be less to fear. With less to fear, one learns to live a courageous life. Consequently, a courageous life is the crown of every successful person. A co-creator wears this crown and advances towards purpose and living in abundance.
