A Message To Creatives

Good evening,

I started writing this as soon as I felt connected with the inspiration to do so earlier tonight. Many Moons ago, I came across a definition of the word truth that I resonated with. The truth was defined as something that is. I felt profoundly changed after reading it. The truth was no longer something to possess in the forms of “your truth” and “my truth” but something that existed independently and required no validation. That day, “no” and “yes” became complete sentences. After such a change, I could feel that everything I had ever known required an update. Sparing you the details (unless you're interested, lol), I have come to understand a few things, some of which I will be mentioning below.

What encouraged me to start writing today was the deep understanding that creatives need to create to be well, and I mean literally. In order for creatives to be well, they MUST create. Now, if you are on the same side of the algorithm as I am, this may not come as a shock or as new information. And truly, it is not intended to. I am saying this as confirmation to whoever will read this, waiting for something auspicious to interrupt their life to spark them to create.

Creating is a creative’s responsibility.

The challenge becomes attuning oneself to be connected to inspiration, rather than solely waiting for the spark to be activated. I view inspiration as something to be connected to, rather than something we possess. Deeper than that, I view each of us in this physical plane as a channel that connects to truths needed in specific moments, and “inspiration” being one of those truths.

If you are currently relying on something to stop you, bring your attention to the present moment and hold you accountable to the truth of you being a creative. This message is for you. It is your job to attune yourself to the frequency of inspiration, love, beauty— truth, so you can live a life that flows. While certain things can catch your attention and feign the reason for your inspiration, I see you feeling inspired as you being connected to inspiration because of the state you were in at that moment. You were open and able to acknowledge the truth. I invite you to explore your heart and see if you presently have an aversion to the truth.

Have you experienced something you have been unwilling to accept? Have you denied or felt denied the ability to find empowerment in a circumstance that you cannot seem to shake? Have you been holding on to a notion you once saw the truth in, because you mistook that notion for the truth that you saw? Have you been carrying the opinions of others, maybe in the form of shame, and attempting to make it a truth in your life? These weights can prevent us from opening up and acknowledging or accepting the truth because it does not feel safe.

Your feelings and emotions are valid because they are true; however, acknowledging that you are creative and must get back to creating to be well is crucial. When this goes unacknowledged, self-induced paralysis can take form. What is insidious about this form of paralysis is that it can be difficult to see that it is self-induced. Please understand, I am not blaming you. You are not at fault for anything; however, acknowledging your power is the point.

You are powerful and benefit from taking the necessary steps to maintain your state of empowerment. This will allow you to feel confident, be open to acknowledging or accepting the truth, and create from that space. Magic lives in that special space.

Please be well.

Please create.
