We are all aware on some level of a power greater than ourselves. It has many names, and many people attempt to speculate about its true nature, but the fact it exists is evident all around us. For those of us gifted in the creative arts, whether we are wordsmiths, natural performers, inspired thinkers or have an eye for design, there will always come a moment where we ask ourselves… Where does all this come from?

What gives us confidence to take action, to move forward in life?
Is it the feeling that we are superior to others? That we are greater than they are? That what we feel, or think, or what we have to say, is more important than the contributions of others?
It shouldn’t be that way at all.

When we take that first step into a more conscious modality of living, suddenly our whole world changes. We see the world differently, we see ourselves differently, and we see other people differently as well.
During these moments of profound transformation, we may have to confront a vision of the future where the road ahead is fraught with challenges.

Life is a beautiful adventure, but it is also a journey full of trials, tests and challenges for each one of us. We can’t know what other people are going through, so there is no sense in comparing our different situations, but there is one thing we can all do to improve our situation.
Find reasons to be grateful. Even in the darkest moments, even when you feel at your very lowest.

Why do we do what we do? Why do we spend so much time and energy, money, and so many sleepless nights pursuing our goals and our dreams? We might all have different visions of tomorrow, but we are all searching for the same thing: meaning.

The universe is full of mystery, all around us and within us as well, and we are all gifted with the power of understanding so that the cosmos can know itself, and marvel in its own splendour!

We might sometimes think that the pursuit of wisdom is a purely intellectual objective, but in reality it’s so much more.
Wisdom transcends knowledge. It’s a level of understanding which cannot be put into words, a connection between your heart, your soul, and the universe all around you.

When you love what you do, there’s nothing wrong with working every day. And that’s the key to everything – love!
Our efforts and endeavors shouldn’t just be about the money we make or the respect we get from other people, they should reflect the deepest and innermost part of our soul. That way, when we find success, we can be secure in how valuable it is to us.

There are so many expectations placed on all of us, all the time. By society, by our friends and family, and especially by ourselves. We are told how to behave, what to do and who we should be, and suddenly we find ourselves on autopilot, just going through life accepting things, but not actually living them.

Everything we need is already inside us. It’s something we’re told again and again, so often that it can sometimes sound like a cliché, but it’s true.
If we have the courage to let go, to stop struggling against the flow of life and instead dive headfirst into the current, allowing our feelings to guide us and our hearts to absorb the wisdom of every experience, we will truly break free from fear.
