One of the most incredible things about being a human is that we all have innate gifts that we bring into this world. For some people it comes out naturally right from the get-go and others spend their entire lives searching and never seem to find it.
This energizing burst of creativity flows naturally to us when we discover the vehicle for which we can direct our energy the way that resonates most closely with us. This creative burst is found in every single person on this planet, and most importantly, whether you find it is dependent on YOU.
When we begin to follow the path that as laid out for us (from our internal guidance system) we begin to see the world with a whole new pair of eyes. You must act with persistent intention for your highest good so that you put yourself in the right mindset and begin to attract the opportunities that you need in life to build up your character to become the person you need to in order to achieve the level of success that you truly desire.
The most important thing you can do is just take that first step!
But when we go to step, something often halts our progress. Fear is standing at the door not letting you pass. Because in order to make it to the other side, you must first understand what this fear is trying to teach you.
Fear will immobilize you and paralyze you if you make a choice to let it in. The keyword here is choice.
This world is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. When fear comes knocking at your door, you can run, you can spend all of your energy suppressing and denying it, pretending it’s not even there. Or you can open that door, invite it in and embrace the fear with love and compassion.
Just so you know, you are allowed to make mistakes.
I see so many people just vindictively ripping and tearing themselves apart for seemingly no reason at all. The reason is because they have done things in the past that they haven’t been able to let go of. Or they have had something traumatic happen to them and they have become the victim. Then fear creeps in and morphs the perspective you have of yourself.
You start to create an identity based around this fear that is dominating you. You submit and therefore never truly step into your divine potential.
In this ever-expansive world we must learn how to work together with ourselves just as we would a team of other individuals. Because we live in a dualistic world, we are comprised of more components than one. To keep it simple we will just focus on the ego and the spirit.
The ego is designed to constantly be a protector. It does this by causing us to be afraid as a type of defense mechanism. But in the society we live in today much of our fear is unnecessary. Fear is used as a means of survival, but nowadays people have this ego-fear program running almost all the time! I could not imagine living every waking hour in some form of fear.
Our spirit, however, is what I was referring to as your internal guidance system. I like to think about it like a video game. You, the player, see everything that is happening, you have choices you can make which affects the outcome of the game. But we are typically shown which path we are supposed to go and the character within the game (like us on earth) follows the commands without being able to see the bigger picture. All we get is a glimpse, a feeling, an emotion. These are all things that are helping to guide us to where we need to go. It may feel like a bit of a burden at times, but it is necessary to teach us what we need to learn.
But when we learn to work together with our ego and our spirit, keeping ourselves in check and becoming aware of how we are spending our time and energy, we will begin to transform. Just as a caterpillar must enter the cocoon and basque in the darkness for an extended period of time before metamorphisizing into a beautiful butterfly, so must you if you wish to open your wings. Love and unity my friends <3
