Creative coach/author Aliyah Marr shows how to use creative thought to live a passionate, joyous, fearless life.
Are you ready to live the life you were meant to live?
Life is meant to be lived passionately, joyously, fearlessly, and creatively. It is our birthright to be the creative architects of our lives, not just be a leaf in the wind, torn between our duties and our desires…
…One of the inspirational people in my life, Dr Susan Gregg, once wrote: “Do you want to be where you are right now in five years?” This phrase made me take action to change my life then. I know that often we don’t choose to change because we fear it. So instead we choose a life that is unchallenging and boring; a life that doesn’t allow ourselves to be creative or express ourselves, and thereby to experience true joy.
Some people are not comfortable in their skins, they feel an essential emptiness that they try to cover with drugs, alcohol, etc. What is the purpose, the meaning of life; is this the life I was meant to live? Why does every day feel the same?
Perhaps we are afraid, because we know deep down that a life like this takes unconditional passion, courage, and commitment. To live this kind of life, one has to show the forces that be that you deserve the life you want by consistently displaying these qualities. This is what Joseph Campbell defines as the “Hero’s Path.” Make no mistake, if you follow a path of conscious change you are walking in the very footsteps of giants.
So I ask you: when will you allow yourself the life you deserve? A voice is whispering in your ear: today is the day.
