Pain Disappears When Passion Flows
It took me years to realize the value of the quest to create an easy, enjoyable and effortless life. I had to be honest about what I love doing and what I no longer want to do. It took me a long time to accept that songwriting, painting and creating poetry were not an idle waste of time. The more I allowed myself to play, the more resistance I felt inside telling me that my life would be a waste if I did not start doing something more important with my time. When a promotion was offered to me at work, I knew that there would be no energy or time left for the spontaneity and concentration needed for good solid artistic creation. I wanted to explore my Consciousness in a way that Carl Jung had done with his own Psyche. I knew there was stuff inside but my job would never address these longings but I needed to build my bank account and feel like I was accomplishing something.
On the day of my decision, I had no idea what a wise move I had made. That was over 10 years ago and the beauty and fulfillment of my artistic quest told me stories about myself that still excite me and scare me and thrill me all at the same time. We are creative Beings designed to work in synchronicty with this great Universe. When we are in our zone, the pain of what we are doing is so worth it and we can't wait to unravel another part of the great mystery. When I look at the image of these beautiful ballerina shoes, I see the absolute joy and lightness of Being knowing that it has taken so much blood sweat and tears to move like this. That's the key. When we do what we love, its just part of the growing.
On the last day of your life, will you be glad you took that promotion that filled your bank account but sucked the very life out of you? My late husband left this life at age 33. He taught me that we cannot take time for granted. I encourage you to follow the things you love to do and be guided back to your adventurous and playful heart.
Love to you always,
Ganga
