Looks like my blog is taking on a flow of its own in the form of inspiration and poetry!
How do you think new trends and innovations were created? Someone realized that this is not as good as it gets. Everything can be improved upon. Complacency is a killer of motivation. Accepting the status quo's way of life as the foundation for yours will suppress your authentic self.
In high school, I thought I was suppose to go to college, stay in the same career for years, and, maybe, get married and have children. That's fine if that's what you, truthfully, desire! Deep in the depths of my soul, I knew I wanted to travel...to explore the World! Once I entered the work force, my vision became cloudy. There were little glimpses, or times of awakenings along the way.

Awakenings
During those years in art school, I met some amazing people. I was so wrapped up in work, and not wanting to let go of the familiar, I didn't realize that would have been an excellent time for me to 'break free' and be the Authentic Me. Now, I'm referring to my early twenties. I could see, but I had no vision. I was surrounded by some of the most awesome, culturally diverse group of people, and we all vibed. In my music classes, I had the same experience. I even did some spoken word poetry for open mic night at the local coffee shop, and I loved the energy in the room. There was a rush, I had when onstage, sharing my poetry, genuinely expressing myself Out Loud! Yet, I couldn't figure out away to make it all come together as a viable and lucrative career.
Along the way, I worked my ass off trying to obtain a career in the field of graphic design, but the doors kept closing. I was bold, too, because I was still a student! I did get a job as a desktop publisher, but it did not feel right. I declined. Within the year, that particular establishment was no longer in business. Little did I know, at the time, subconsciously, I wanted to work independently...freelancing! Truthfully, I didn't want to do what I love, and let someone else run the show! This was my life, and my stage!
So, it took me a while to get to where I am, now, because I was afraid to Get Uncomfortable and 'truthfully' admit that those years spent and school were to acquire skills for myself, and NOT an employer! The jobs that I took were only stepping stones all along. It took me ten years to admit this to myself. In conclusion, I have come to the revelation that Get Uncomfortable really means freeing yourself from all the lies you were told about how life is 'supposed' to be lived, and allow yourself to listen to your inner guide! When I listened, it was not discomfort at all, it was an extraordinary comfort...an inner peace. Get Uncomfortable, and dare to listen to Your divine... internal Truth!
