When We Seek Stillness We Find None
Ambition
The driving force behind all of creation.
What is it?
Where does it come from?
I've seen it arise from many places.
A chip on the shoulder.
An observation of a need.
An obligation to others.
Yet sometimes it comes from a different place.
A place without duty, without obligations or expectations.
This is where I wish to create from.
Imagine a new morning, the sun just barely rising.
And with this sun comes an emerging.
We all have things we carry inside of us.
They are not burdens but rather gifts.
With time they emerge through us, rather than from us.
Divine inspiration some call it.
A wonderful thing, coming from a wonderful place.
These creations are the things that are truly divine.
It is our duty not to create them, but rather to allow them to emerge.
To create from this space is to truly be.
There is no proving, no struggle, just creation.
To find this place you must let go of all expectations.
To stay in this place you must be fearless, giving up all control over the end result.
To be in this place means to forsake any obligations.
To be in this place means to allow yourself total freedom of expression.
Allow yourself to rest in this.
Knowing that you need nothing.
Knowing that you need to be nothing.
From this stillness, discover what will emerge.
This is your gift.
This is your blessing.
This is your duty.
Allow this beauty to emerge from you.
The picture is amazing and so are the creatively written inspiring words!
Keep flourishing!
There is such comfort in being invited-encouraged to REST deep in ourselves... to let go of the relentless "I must improve-change-upgrade myself". And from that place of deep rest, the fire of life and creativity and contribution springs forth without effort and with incredible generosity which, of itself, feeds and nurtures us.
I shared this post into the @c-squared curation community for you. Also worth checking out @naturalmedicine's new mindfulness channel & posting under the #mindfulmonday tag. 💚
