If money wasn’t an issue and you didn’t care what anybody else thought… what would you like to spend your days doing!? What makes your soul sing?

So many of us are stuck in this crazy rat race and are just punching the clock… day in and day out. We’re living these unfulfilled lives while our gifts are totally being stifled and we wonder why we’re so depressed! We walk around without a clue to what our purposes are and because we’re so distracted and fearful to even look at our dreams the world is missing out!

I get it, I get it. Sometimes you just gotta keep your nose to the grindstone and support that family and pay those bills, but at what cost?

I did the same thing and stifled my dreams under the belief that to be an artist was irresponsible. You know the whole “starving artist” line? Ya, I bought into that hook line and sinker and it wasn’t until I was in my mid 30’s that I finally realized that it was only going to be true if I chose to believe that it was true.

I got to a point in my life that I simply could not ignore my passions anymore.

It felt like my soul was being drowned and my heart was being ripped out of my body… I HAD to do art or I was going to die a miserable death. I was out of balance with my true self and about to fall off the cliff.

There’s a really interesting Native American concept found in the Navajo culture that refers to an interconnectedness between beauty, harmony, and goodness in all things physical and spiritual that results in health and well-being for all things and beings. To them, art and life and love are synonymous and there is only one word — “Hozho” that can properly encompass their meaning. One does not exist without the other and if your life is not balanced, then nothing else works properly. It rings so true to me!

You know that feeling when you’re doing something that you love and you’re just in that flow and everything feels so good? Maybe it’s music, maybe you’re dancing and singing loud in the shower, maybe you’re riding your bike, or totally engaged in a deep conversation with a friend, or mowing your lawn like a boss. It doesn’t matter the activity, because you are present and fully in that moment with some serious vibes flowing through your body!

That’s what I’m talking about!

You had it inside you along and guess what… it ain’t going anywhere. It’s always been there and will never leave. Problem is we get distracted and let our minds take over and forget who we really are, so start learning to chill and if we just listen and take control of our thoughts and actions we can do anything!

Moral of the story — If you want to make a difference in this world then wake up to your passions and do everything you can to better understand what your life’s purpose is, and then go after it like there’s no tomorrow! You have everything you need right inside you and in fact, you ARE everything you need, so KNOW that and go be the amazing thing that you are and surround yourself with people and energy to help you remember this on a daily basis.
