What payoff are you getting for remaining stuck at this point in your expansion?

Mystery is at the heart of creativity. As creative channels, we need to trust the darkness.

You are on the look out for experience, strength, and hope. You want to hear from the horse's mouth exactly how disappointments have been survived. It helps to know that the greats have had hard times too and that your own hard times merely make you part of the club.

Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness... bright ideas are preceded by a gestation period that is interior, murky, and completely necessary.

The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations.

By listening to the creator within, we are led to our right path.
