I’m setting out to do something I’m not sure I can do.

So I wrote out a few things I know are true, to help light the way. Hopefully they are helpful for you too.

1. If you apply your creativity and your intuition and work and it and give it time: you can do anything.

2. The stuff you think you can’t do is the best stuff to do.? If you know you can do it, it means you’ve already done it and there’s no adventure in it.

3. Being in the adventure of doing something you haven’t done before and aren’t sure you even can do pushes your creative edge and grows you in all the best ways.? I know it’s hard now, but you’ll be so grateful you did it.

4. If you are NOT doing things that you don’t think you can do – you’re stagnating, you’re staying in already-been-done-ness.

5. You wouldn’t have the desire to do it if you weren’t capable of it – that desire is a new part of you being born, the part of you that can do it – once she figures it all out.? It’s ok if the figuring it all out part is messy.

6.? Floundering.? Mis-steps.? Having it take more time than you want it too or look different than you thought it would.? That’s all ok.? Giving up is not.

7. Changing course is different from giving up.? Dreams change as you work on them. Flow WITH the inspiration and you’ll get somewhere amazing.? Try to control the outcome and you’ll get somewhere pretty sad.

This week I am equal parts excited/inspired/in the magic and terrified/doubtful/wanting to hide under a rock.

When those 2 reactions are equal, I know I’m onto something really good.

Excited!

I am an artist.? My canvas is my life.

My tools are adventure, play, possibility, love, deep healing work, transformation, authentic power, glee, creativity, connection to spirit, expression of purpose and being a ray of light.

Also: journals, rainbows, crystals and mineral spas.

It’s important to me to live my life in a way that feels true to who I am and to contribute what I feel I am here to contribute.?

This is more important to me than anything.? More important than finding a partner, having babies or making a million dollars.? I can do without pretty much anything else, but if I didn’t have this I would wither and die.

Even before I had the tools to be able to do this effectively, I was still practically allergic to seeing people hiding their true selves.? They mirrored the places where I didn’t know how to not compromise and it made me itchy and uncomfortable.

I stand for being who I am and supporting others in the process of becoming who they are.

I believe this, and only this, will save the world.

When you can be who you are you have access to infinite wisdom, infinite strength, infinite creativity, infinite love, infinite inner power and infinite ingenuity…. when you can be who you are anything is possible, in a tangible way.? And anything that harms or belittles? anyone or anything else just seems like a stupid waste of time.?

When you can be who you are you become a light.? Most of the world is in shadow right now.? When most of the world is in light – things will change.

So when I talk about making your dreams real I am talking about changing the world.? One awakened creative being at a time.

I just read this blog post and it inspired me to write out who I am and what I stand for.

When you’re in this situation, the first thing to know is that obstacles are good!

Obstacles are the means through which your dream comes true.? I do mean that literally, you can watch this video for more on that.

So having a lot of obstacles doesn’t mean you can’t move forward and make your dream real.? Even when you have so many obstacles they are blocking you from even being able to see your dream.

When you’re in this situation, the energy dynamic you’re in is like a pinball game – you’re the ball.

Thinking about your dream just gets you pinging between the different obstacles.? I can’t do it now because of this. Oh but I also can’t do it now because of this.? And if I do get started, well then I’ll hit this. Ouch!

Everywhere you turn there is another obstacle – another reason why your dream can not and will not come true.

Not a fun place to be.

And it can feel like the only way out is to just give up on the dream and declare it impossible.

That gets you out of the pinball game.? But then you’re just living in this world where your dreams are impossible and that’s no fun either.

What you have to do is remember that the obstacle is the way through.

The pinball effect stops when you stop running away from the obstacles.? When you sit down with them, get out your journal and start exploring.

MAKE A LIST.

Make a list of all the reasons why your dream is impossible right now, all the things holding you back.

Just creating this list shifts the energy around your dream.? You’re not bouncing around anymore you’re staying with it.? You’re bringing yourself into the inner process of bringing a dream to life.

As a side note: The reason why you’re bouncing around is because you’re looking for an external process for bringing your dream to life.? This does not exist.? Bringing a dream to life is an internal process.

SIT WITH YOUR LIST.

You’ve been spending a lot of time bouncing up against these things, and trying to run away from them, or maybe even trying to blow them up.? It can take some time to un-plug from that energy dynamic and come to a place of stillness and being able to just sit with the obstacle.

This is important!? If you can’t stay present with the obstacle, you can’t work with it as your means of bringing your dream to life.? It might feel like nothing is happening but actually everything is happening.

It’s totally like this scene from my favourite movie:

The most magical and amazing things cannot be experienced until you’re willing to open your mind and really be with them.

Here’s the secret:

As you’re sitting with your list of reasons why you can’t have what you want right now eventually you discover a truth: these things aren’t actually what’s stopping you.

It’s your attitude towards and beliefs about these things that is stopping you.

Your attitude and beliefs are things that you can change.

And when you start to work on that – congratulations.? You are now on the path of making your dreams real.

I tried this myself yesterday.

I was a little stuck with something and made a list of why I couldn’t have I wanted right then.

And hot damn if that list of things that felt like real and insurmountable obstacles wasn’t anything more than a list of sad excuses.

Making the list forced me to face my own bullshit.? And then get over it.? And then do something about it.

I know it can be very uncomfortable to do this – especially if you haven’t done this kind of inner work before.? But it’s not like being in the pinball game is comfortable either, just give it a try.

Does trying to figure out what this inner journey means and how to go on it feel like too much to do on your own?

The Creative Dream Circle can totally help.? It gives you all the tools you need and leads you through the entire process of bringing your dream to life.
