72. Create or be Consumed: A Wake-Up Call to Your Power

You are exactly where you need to be to create something only you can create.

And the call is not coming from the phone you spend your life connected to – the call is coming from inside the house. It’s coming from inside of you.

It's subtle - and you must be open to listen to it.

But our entire society has been structured to keep you disconnected from it. 

We live in an age of over-consumption - the bleak deafening of our senses with more, more, more. 

With blue light and dopamine. 

With gazes of longing and attempts to fill our hearts with distraction and commiseration. 

We run away from ourselves by running straight into the eye of the storm, taking in other people's lives as a past-time to forget our own and taking on the weight of the world as a means to surrender to the powerlessness we feel inside of us.

And every day that goes by where we live our lives half-asleep, in the caffeinated neglect to ourselves and our inner being, we drift further from our senses and our ability to wake ourselves up. 

We are all looking for the same thing – the ability to live awake and embodied and to feel more deeply - yet we reject the feelings that are uncomfortable to hold.

And in that, we reject our own unique ability to alchemize them in the way the world most needs. 

What you want to create is not about you. 

It is about the collective devotion to something greater than the suffering this world will suffocate us with if we let it. 

Our lives - messy and undone and beautiful and chaotic - have asked us to create the perfect creations for the conditions we are in - right now. 

Our lives are always asking us to take a big gulp of air from them and see what comes out when we exhale, see what we do with it, see how we transmute it. 

We were meant to alchemize, transmute, and be part of something greater than the numbness we have found ourselves apart of.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who is struggling to push through the cracks of that numbness and live awake.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who has ran from their intuitive impulses and denied their right to exist boldly, denied their right to be a creator.

Your life is asking you to live it.

The question is -- are you willing to listen?
