| Do you feel that at your core you’re chopped liver – a bumbling incompetent who’s made irredeemable mistakes?
Do you think you might be a candidate for the Guinness Book of World Records for “worst blunders ever made by anyone anywhere?”
Do you believe it’s justifiable, then, for others to look down or laugh at you?
That would be a kinda harsh opinion of yourself, ya think?
Now what if you amped up this judgmental blather a notch to believe this is how God or the universe sees you?
As a result of this thinking, an all-loving Prime Creator of life would laugh at you, too.

A woman, who’s experiencing big challenges, quoted Woody Allen: “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
She felt her best thinking and plans got her to this turning point, and she’s made a mess of it.
______________________________
By this statement, she expanded her focus from those who are judgy and laugh at others’ expense to include a mean-spirited God laughing at her.
What a great example of the ego’s Jedi Mind Trick. It loves to make you wrong and compare you and your success and money (or so-called lack of them) to others – you’re not good enough or certainly not as good as “them.”
Ponder this:
If you’re a parent, do you want your kids to wait for your permission before doing things?
Would you want to train them to be afraid of making mistakes and decisions? Because of this, they’d doubt themselves and procrastinate.
After a while, you might suggest they stand on their own feet and make their own choices. Even if they screw up, which inevitably everyone does, they’re learning.

How can you stay true to your spiritual roots and make good decisions?
Empower yourself by aligning with your inner spirit first.
Find your anchor inside of you.
Breathe.
Detach from others’ opinions of what you should do as well as your reaction to life’s circumstances.
How does something feel – good or not so much?
Then make decisions and take action.
This world is designed for everyone to make mistakes.
It’s perfectly impossible to be perfect.
The lesson is not about giving up on your plans but on being true to you.

Resolved for Results Mastermind Principle #3 is “I trust my Self and listen to the voice within.”
The second half of Principle #4 is “…I take action by following through with my inspiration and guidance.”
It goes on to give a TIP:
“If you doubt and don’t trust your Self because of past mistakes, consider this. If you listened to and trusted your Self, instead of your fears and others’ opinions, you wouldn’t have made the mistakes.”
A healthy parent loves a child even though mistakes are made.
We are children of a loving God, a supportive universe.
The plans you make are backed up by an unconditionally loving Supreme Being – even if your plans leave something to be desired. That’s how you’re learning.
You are loved. You are supported. You are cared for deeply.
Live your life with kind compassion, starting with yourself.
