IT, isn't that a limiting belief?

IT, if I am already a God being, I must be perfect, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, so why would I need to bother with obstacles and challenges and trivial choices like having a body?
After we create something, the ball starts rolling and things develop and change. I don't think I am consciously creating every single detail that develops as a result, but there are things I can still control.
For example, I over sleep and get up late. The scene is then set for the rest of the day. I miss breakfast, I miss the train, I miss the crucial meeting, lose the sale, and lose my job.
Now, if I have sufficient control and awareness, I may be able to turn the meeting around and not lose the sale. So, the more aware and in control I am, the more I can make things happen my way.
Or, I may lose my job, sink into depression, become an alcoholic and kill myself.
Now, IT seems to be saying that I/higher self/consciousness decided before this life to let this happen as a kind of challenge. But why? I see the challenge as a brand new one, at the point of going in late into the meeting and deciding to turn things around.
That conforms more with what Tony Robbins talks about and also what Max describes in making a conscious decision now and knowing/believing it will happen.
I don't need to believe in karma, past lives or being one with big brother consciousness, who's got all these challenges and pitfalls stretched out ahead of me like some kind of obstacle course. I am not Pavlov's dog. I am as I am in this moment, that is my consciousness, and I decide in what direction I choose to move it.
I appreciate methods of self help and improvement, but I don't think it is at all necessary to have any kind of belief in karma or past lives or cosmic consciousness. The main thrust of these beliefs seems to be that we are here to play and enjoy ourselves. I ask myself - why? Why would I want to play and enjoy myself all the time? If you keep questioning, these beliefs soon start to fall apart.
