I’ve been on an insane creative roll since last night. Ideas literally pouring out of me so much so that I wasn’t sure I could keep up with them. I found myself thinking of how cool it was that these ideas flowed like this through me and that all I wanted was a way to put them into practice, to make them real, to create the life and follow through on the life I envision. It’s the fear that holds us back, but there is no reason to fear. We just have to do what we are called to do and what feels right—always. We KNOW what’s right, we are given that gift and when we trust that gift, amazing things happen. Within the last 10 hours, I have had a surge of ideas for posts, for businesses, for dreams, for ways of life, and it all feels amazing. I had a truly cathartic meeting with my boss and the conversation was a lot about feeling. Granted it was work related, but it helped to put things in perspective and I feel like getting some of those things on the table and hearing her share where she is at unlocked something. It moved me in a different way this time around because it was a real example of the fact that people can seem to have it all and have it all together and they are still going through something. Our job is to be there for each other, to connect. Sure we work and complete tasks but there will always be another task. That list is never complete. So when we learn to connect on a human level and we see the real intent/person beneath, it’s easier to shift that focus to connection rather than dynamics/power/ego.
So I share this because the mind is a wild place and it will take us anywhere and everywhere which is awesome and terrifying. Everything we see, everything that exists in this world is a result of something from the mind and a choice. There are times I feel like the mind isn’t meant to be tamed because when I am able to ride the wave of creativity and joy and trust, amazing things happen and I’m often feeling unleashed in that point—like I am fully aware that this rush of energy, this surge of creation is energy on a different level—people would think this is nuts to witness. But I see that there is a balance. The emotion behind our thoughts is what needs to be tamed. We can’t let the emotion stop us—I often say that emotion is a guidepost, it isn’t the driver. The creativity needs to be channeled and then unleashed, we need to do the work. The WORK is the discharge of that energy and the focal point for what we are meant to do. It’s hard to wallow in emotion or thoughts when we actively produce something. I am guilty of spending a HUGE chunk of my time in self-pity and sorrow waiting for someone to come fix the situation and tell me I’m worth it instead of simply acting on what I KNEW was right for me. I do not diminish the things I went through because there were some truly rough moments—but I understand now that I can’t allow those feelings and thoughts to control my actions—certainly not after this much time has passed. I can choose (we can choose) to be a victim or we can take action toward what we want. Other people’s opinions don’t matter—it is our process and our drive that matter. It is how we react and what we choose that matters. So we don’t let the emotions call the shots, we let the creativity guide us where it wants to take us because that is the divine connection. Creation is divine and if we are ever unsure of that, try and define where that spark came from. It is magic.
