Conditional Creators
-An exclusive excerpt from Allen’s new book-
When God invites us to create, we have a choice. We can say yes and create it with God. Or we can be conditional creators, proceeding only if perceived limits are first removed.
Creators become “Create-Ifs” when we add conditions to the process. For instance, “Sure, I want to pursue this project, and I would IF…”
I had more time in the day
there was a guaranteed return on investment
someone would just believe in me
I was younger (or older or wiser or could do it full-time)
I had a large social media following
This mindset leads to unnecessary self-inflicted glitches. Creators push through all these excuses because, well, creators create. God made us creative. He invites us to pursue this gift with him…and without our fears or conditions.
The only choice is if you’ll create it…or create if?
