Daily Mystic Messages - With the winds at your back...
From the time we're young we learn through imitation.
We watch our parents and families, we watch our friends, we watch our favorite characters on TV and in books, our favorite superheroes, you name it. And somewhere along the way, we start to adopt their ways. Their way becomes our way. Sometimes it can even just become an idea like, "That's just the way it's done" without even really thinking about it.
As we grow in our lives, we find new idols in business and career, people who are maybe having the success that we want or living the kind of life that we dream about. But it's no wonder that when we try to do things the way that they do them, we often struggle and fail, or it works for a minute, and then it doesn't.
And then the negative talk starts. The, “What's wrong with me, I'm just not good enough. I don't have what it takes”.
I want to be clear. I don't think there's anything at all wrong with having role models. In fact, I think it's a really healthy thing to see the finer qualities in others, and to want to emulate that. Where we turn it upside down is when we try to do it their way instead of finding our way.
You're a different person; you have different styles, different motivators, unique traits, and gifts that no one else has in the same way that you do. And when you work with your nature, rather than against it, it's as if you have the winds at your back.
You still have to put one foot in front of the other.
You still need to show up for yourself and for your dreams every day, but you can’t do it working against yourself.
The better you know yourself and your nature, the easier it will become to make choices that keep you in your creative flow. But be forewarned, as soon as you think you know, there's always another layer to be revealed.
There is a universe of potential inside of you. So never stop that search within, never stop exploring.
I'm wishing you the safest and most joyful travels.
