You cannot dwell upon one thing while trying to create another” -
You project your thoughts, feelings and expectations outwards, then you perceive them as the outside reality. ( Seth )
You are in physical existence to learn and understand that your energy, translated into feelings, thoughts and emotions cause ALL experience. There are no exceptions. - ( Seth - Nature of Personal Reality)
- “ Life is so ridiculously gorgeous, strange, heartbreaking, horrific, etc., that we are compelled to describe it to ourselves, but we can’t! We cannot do it! And so we make art. — Miranda July ”

AUTHENTICITY is a daily practice. Choosing authenticity means: cultivating the COURAGE to be emotionally honest, to set boundaries, and to allow ourselves to be vulnerable; exercising the COMPASSION that comes from knowing that we are all made of strength and struggle and connected to each other through a loving and resilient human spirit; nurturing the CONNECTION and sense of belonging that can only happen when we let go of what we are suppose to be and embrace who we are….” ~Brene Brown Ph.D.
A clear indicator of spiritual health is your ability to follow through. Are you keeping your commitments to yourself?
Owning your own time won’t matter if… * You’re just as much of a tyrant/slave driver to yourself as your previous employer. * You are still influenced by societal pressures and let that dictate what you should be doing with your time. * You’re not able to exercise self-discipline in staying focused (which you need to be able to pay yourself). * You don’t know how to say no. You don’t know how to turn down opportunities when you’re spread too thin. * You still pay yourself by the hour (instead of by how much value you deliver). * You don’t have a good filter for focusing on high-leverage (most important) tasks vs. those that aren’t likely to make much of a difference in your business.
