As I had mentioned in the previous blog, this year is bringing forth many amazing opportunities for growth. The beginning of a new year is the best way to kick start that momentum needed to grow and prosper. We are already well into March and some of those creative blocks, that all artists know exist, have begun to rear their ugly heads. For me, these creative blocks are temporary, as long as I allow the energy to continue to flow within myself and not get stuck in those pointless mind games that used to happen to me so frequently in the past. These block are commitment checkers. These blocks are merely the road signs along the creative journey that ask:
"How bad do you want this?"
"Where do you stand in your commitment to your heart's passion and purpose?"
"How much do you believe in creative abilities and visions?"
If you truly take a moment to step back, breathe, and really listen to that voice in your head that speaks to you in those moments of frustration, you may find that it is your soul's way of clearing all that stands in the way of your true magnificent and creative nature. There is always a choice when those inner voices begin speaking to you, Which voice will you listen to, which voice will you feed?
Just like the Cherokee Legend of :
THE TALE OF TWO WOLVES
"ONE EVENING, AN ELDERLY CHEROKEE BRAVE TOLD HIS GRANDSON ABOUT A BATTLE THAT GOES ON INSIDE PEOPLE. HE SAID "MY SON, THE BATTLE IS BETWEEN TWO 'WOLVES' INSIDE US ALL . ONE IS EVIL. IT IS ANGER , ENVY, JEALOUSY, SORROW, REGRET, GREED, ARROGANCE, SELF-PITY, GUILT, RESENTMENT, INFERIORITY, LIES, FALSE PRIDE, SUPERIORITY, AND EGO. THe OTHER IS GOOD. IT IS JOY, PEACE, LOVE, HOPE, SERENITY, HUMILITY, KINDNESS, BENEVOLENCE, EMPATHY, GENEROSITY, TRUTH, COMPASSION AND FAITH. tHE GRANDSON THOUGHt ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN ASKED HIS GRANDFATHER: "WHICH WOLF WINS?..."THe OLD CHEROKEE SIMPLY REPLIED, "THE ONE THAT YOU FEED."
