The Vibe And Shine

I recently read an article on inspiration as interpreted by Elizabeth Gilbert, and it really put some puzzle pieces together for me. I publish blogs weekly related to an area of life that can't be 'done', but rather 'flowed with'. My content involves subjects of life that are more subtle and abstract in nature. I have set intention to write weekly articles, and although I can be called a 'writer', the information I publish in service of helping others live their best life comes through me, not from me. I have gotten to know what the pull of inspiration feels like and when I need to grab my computer as soon as I get the signals that what wants to be published this week is ready to flow through me, to you . This week, I have really required some trust because I usually have the blogs written a week or two in advance. Whenever I feel inspiration's nudge and 'hear' the words, I begin writing, I listen.

When working towards living your best life, a big aspect to look at is whether you are living authentically with and toward yourself. What does 'authenticity' mean in context of this post? Well... it's the level and depth of honesty you have with yourself and whether the movements you are making within and externally of yourself reflect how you truly feel. It's being 'real'.

Are you really happy at your job, or are you just in a comfort zone going through the act...

Have you ever been in a position in life where you really wanted something, and as you went to pick it up and take it, someone else arrived and announced they wanted it too? What did you do? I know I have been 'guilty' of being 'considerate' and letting the other person have it instead of me because I wanted to be nice. But then I didn't have the thing and I know, somewhere deep inside me, I believed that person deserved it more than me. It was only when I got angry with someone farting in front of me and it was smelly, after I had repeatedly asked them not to do that that I had my breakthrough epiphany on it: Why are some people okay with me being uncomfortable just so they can be comfortable? Why can't that person exercise some manners and go for a walk to unleash the gaseous vomit ball from their ass? Yes, farting is natural, but you don't have to rub it in people's faces. Where is the consideration of others? In that instance it was nowh...
