IT WON'T MAKE SENSE - UNTIL IT DOES!

It didn’t make sense to me at first, but in the end it did, it all made complete sense.

I’ve experienced it now, I understand it now, it all makes sense now.

There are so many times we feel like we’re missing something, or that we should try this, that or the other, doing what everyone else seems to be doing, what looks like success - name any area of life. Yet it just doesn’t sit right. It doesn’t land and it’s feels like a constant push with no flow. Nothing moves freely in that state. It’s forced and nothing truly creative is ever forced.

There’s so much strategy, so many rules and systems we’re told to live by. But the moment the rules change, you too are expected to change and that’s not living true to you. That’s living someone else’s way. The way of the one who makes the rules, maybe by the one whose room it is, platform it is, or approval you seek.

No art is the same, all art is different. Which means, you too are different. Yet you keep trying to fit into the same box everyone else is squeezing into. It feels off.

You know it’s not you - you can feel it.

The moment you step into what you feel, and how you wish to feel and choose to be exactly that, is the moment you step into you.

You’re not winging it by doing it this way, you’re following your own natural flow, natural rhythm, just as nature follows hers. You can’t force nature. You can’t make it produce fruit if the environment isn’t right for that plant or animal. It will diminish.

It can’t and won’t thrive in spaces that aren’t right for it.

So why do we expect ourselves to thrive in environments, spaces, or ways of being that we can feel are not us?

We can’t.

That’s why we can feel so off - like we’re getting nowhere, or simply not feeling like ourselves.

It’s so important to stop trying to be like everyone else.

Take yourself away.

Remove the distractions.

Quieten the noise around you.

Then follow what feels good - in that moment.

When that moment comes to you, that’s yours - and only yours. Once it arrives, don’t look to see if others are doing it or how they’re doing it.

Sit with it.

Walk with it.

Journal on it.

Dream into it.

Imagine yourself in it.

See what unfolds.

What comes forward - is your way, it's for you.

Then trust where you’re being guided, where you’re being taken.

The faster we drop into trust, the faster we arrive where we’re meant to go.

Don’t make it perfect - just make it yours.

Start. Adjust. Move around.

Sooner or later, it will all start to make sense.

Release the pressure.

Release, release, release.

Let it sit softly at the forefront of your mind - calm with no rush and trust that over time, this softness is the very thing that gives space for more to come in, to add to it, to complete it.

Nothing needs to make sense, but one day it will.

Just start creating from your natural flow.
