Understanding why you do certain things. It is important to understand that when we go after something we would love to create in our life, like writing a book, painting, doing a podcast, coaching people (as a few examples), that the energy we use doing these creative endeavours comes from your higher vibration.

What this means is that you do them for the right reason. You do not do them to validate yourself. You do not do them so that you can get rich and famous.

You do not do them so that you can get millions of followers and likes and adoring fans. These may be the byproduct of what you do, but they must not the reason for doing them in the first place.

Also, do not get distracted by these shallow, meaningless gestures from unknown people who do not truly know or understand you.

When you create from this place, from a place of satisfying your belief systems, then you add conditions to whatever it is you are trying to create.

When there are conditions then it is not coming from a pure place and it is not coming from your heart. When you take action based on what you heart would love then there are no conditions.

You can create a book. The creation is writing the book. It is not making sure you become a bestseller, get millions of adoring fans and make millions of pounds or dollars.

What happens when you add conditions is that your ego continues to add on these conditions so that you are never satisfied. For example, you create and write an amazing book.

However, you are not satisfied until you have sold 10 books. And so you sell 10 books but then, you are not satisfied until you have sold a 100 books.

And so this carries on to ensure that you are firstly never validated or you are still not good enough or you still not capable. When you create to try and satisfy these belief systems, you will never reach your end result.

There will always be additional conditions and additional belief systems to be met. Eventually, when you fail, then your ego will be happy because it means that nothing will change for you in your life and you will be safe.

Consequentially, when you simply create from the love of creating, there are no conditions and you get an instant feeling of absolute fulfilment. This is what we really love. That feeling of being fulfilled, of loving our purpose.

In this vibration or state, we content. No one can criticize us because we are coming from our genius. People can try and say mean things about our creation, but deep down we know that it is not true and secondly that it is not personal.

Any criticism is a reflection of the person doing the criticizing’s own fears that they are trying to project onto you. When there are no conditions then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.

You created something purely for the love of creating, that’s all that matters. That action in itself brings you joy and fulfilment. That in itself is exciting and it feeds your higher vibration.

After all, you are operating from your highest self, from your genius. It is beautiful and perfect as it is. There is nothing else to so.

Should one of your creations suddenly make you loads of money, then that’s great. But the focus is on your end result of what you want to create.

Your focus creates your reality. The true art of creating is maintaining your end result regardless of what is going on around you. Ignore the distractions and whatever else your ego is doing to try and distract you.

Maintain your focus and go after what you would love to create in your life. Take the action that comes through for you. Otherwise, there is nothing else you need to do. The universe will take care of the rest for you.

The beauty of nature is undeniable. Once you are connected to her beauty and stillness and sounds of water, birds and wind. You can appreciate the tranquility of nature compared to western life in a busy city.

The hustle and bustle of cars, people, music blaring briefly. The sounds of sirens, car horns, doors slamming, breaks squealing. The odd shout of someone trying to get their friend’s attention or shouting in indignation at some incident.

And yet, in nature, apart from a goose squawking at his mates as they contemplate leaving the lake to roost for the night. There are many other, smaller subtle sounds.

There may be a stream flowing persistently and endlessly. A seemingly endless supply of gushing water. Or you may be watching the waves on a small lake, splashing gently against the shore line.

A bird shouting as it flies overhead. You notice how the wind rustles the branches of trees and shrubs. You notice how some plants look dead and yet are very much alive and seem to stay in the same state for an eternity.

You watch a large bird of prey, playing high up in the sky. Catching the wind and floating higher. Barely moving its wings. It’s beautiful and serene and peaceful.

It’s pure joy as you can imagine it, without a care in the world at that moment in time. Its living in the moment. How often do we get to live in the moment.

Forget everything that has happened in the day and no worries about what may happen tomorrow. No past, no future, just this moment right now.

Peaceful and limitless in nature. You can imagine small insects busily wondering around. Frantic to live their short lives to the utmost. To live out their true nature. To feed and find a mate. To nurture the next generation. And then to await rebirth.

As you sit in the moment, you begin to feel yourself healing. You understand that you are being grounded back to your natural state. Back to where you ancestors came from.

You can imagine them having a similar view to yours right now but many thousands of years in the past. No farm land, just trees, perhaps a lake and probably dangerous animals lurking, looking for a meal.

You feel the ancient imaginary spear in your left hand as your eyes scan the horizon. Your ears keenly listening out for the slightest signs of a danger now long gone.

You imagine your only clothes being a lion cloth and animal skins. It’s getting late now and it’s time to go and seek the safety of your campfire.

Safety of your family and tribe as you endeavor to survive another night in the wilderness. Tomorrow will be another day and another opportunity to hunt and marvel at the beauty that surrounds you every day.

But is often unseen unless you take the time to be still and appreciate it.

There is an element of desire within all of us. Not for sex but for knowledge and wealth and love and to be surrounded by beauty every day. For some, it consumes us, we spend all our time and energy going after something that is impure.

Chasing wealth and beauty are not pure desires. They do not come from the heart. You may think they do but it is lust and not love. It is infatuation but not love.

It’s great to have a lot of money and buy whatever you want but through boredom you simply keep buying more and more stuff in order to try and satisfy your desire. But it never gets satisfied and so you keep earning lots more money and keep buying lots more stuff.

Never understanding why, you can have so much money and wealth and beauty around you and yet never be fulfilled. Never be really satisfied. Never reach an end goal. Always chasing.

You spend your whole life chasing more and more because enough is never enough. People look up to you, they admire you and yet, those that do are often happier and more fulfilled than you.

They do not live in fear of losing everything they have for they do not have a lot to lose. They are loved for who they are, not for the money they have or the diamonds and toys they  give out to friends.

They know that deep down, their partner has their back no matter what happens in their life. Illness or accident. But you. You cannot tell that if you had no money, would your partner still be there or would they go find another rich person to feed their unconscious impure needs.

Two dysfunctional people in their relationship. Their needs being met on the surface for now but there is no depth, no commitment and no integrity. There is a lot of fear. Always wondering “what if”.

For the person who has the most will complain the most if they lose any of it. Your whole confidence is deep seated in your ability to provide to others. You are good enough only for as long as you are providing to those around you.

Your family and loved ones have their expectations met. When they are no longer met, then they will drift away as if they were never there. Your structure is weak. Your belief systems are being satisfied because of your wealth.

But those belief systems are waiting for any moment of weakness and then they will flood your mind with insecurities. And so, you have lots of nice stuff around you. You have lots of fun. Lots of lust.

And yet, something is missing. It nags at you every day. There is something false about your life. About everything that surrounds you. It is not real. Perhaps you will never lose your wealth.

But deep down, you know that if you did, you would lose everything around you in an instant. Its fine to be financially abundant if it is for the right reasons. You get it from doing something you love.

You feel truly loved by those around you who ask for nothing but your presence. This is the life to seek out. This is the desire that will fill your heart with love. It has structure as a result of going after what you love.

Doing what you love. The money is just a byproduct. So remember, always go after what you would love regardless of your circumstances surrounding you right now.

The art of patience is to recognise when you are bored. For it is when you are bored that you get restless.

When you are restless then your mind wanders and your thoughts start to take control and run away with you. In recognising this when it first starts to happen will allow you to prevent your thoughts causing chaos in your head.

It will close the door on your shadow monster which is always willing to come out and play to your detriment. The key is to notice what you are doing when you become bored and then, naturally do less of that.

Your heart gets bored way before your head. When your heart is not in whatever it is that you are doing then all impetus falls away. Everything starts to fall apart unless you catch it in time then you can limit the damage.

Identify what you really love doing. When there is something that you love doing then you will notice that distractions trying to grab your attention fall away because you actually prefer to do whatever doesn’t make you bored.

Whatever your heart loves you to do. In is in these moments that you thrive and flourish and your vibration increases tenfold. When you begin to operate at this higher self then you raise above your distractions as we have spoken about before.

The more you can do what your heart desires, the less you will be tempted by meaningless distractions. Remember that your human will always find reason to enjoy the distraction and will collude with others to enjoy the distraction together.

It could be going for a drink or binge watching a tv series. The more you enjoy your distractions, the further away you are drifting from your truth and from your purpose.

This is disempowering for your heart and soul. It does not serve you and it does not serve humanity. It will lead you off course. You will amble along in your life with no direction, simply seeking distraction after distraction.

Falsely thinking that it brings you happiness. It does not. It brings you brief pleasure followed by listlessness. Aimless wondering, your purpose temporarily lost.

Boredom sets in, your mind takes over and your shadow monster comes out to play. Everything slowly slides downhill. It is only with awareness of self that we can stop this slide.

We can recognise what is going on and what we need to do to change direction. Be still in nature, you will never be bored. Seek guidance as to your next steps. Listen out for nudges as to what action to take.

This is the path to a fulfilling life that brings joy to your heart and raises your vibration. It will give you a totally different human experience.

One that you have not yet experienced. And then you will realise, why you were born and came to earth. You will understand why you are here and you can get to work fulfilling your destiny.

And you will love every day of your life that you do this. You will love every moment.

There was once a wise man that lived in the mountains above his village. He lived alone and fended for himself. However, the villages still cared for him and would leave gifts of food and blankets outside his cave.

They never asked for anything in return nor expected anything for it was just their way. The old man in return did initially not offer anything but often a villager would come and sit outside his cave.

They would be lost and in a quandary. In need of the wise man’s advice and direction. The wise man would never directly tell them what the solution was to their problem but he would always get the villager in question to find his own answers.

This was empowering for the individual and it taught them that in future, they could follow the same process and find the answers to their questions themselves.

Sometimes a small group of people would come and sit and wait for the wisdom of the wise man’s teachings.

They would listen intently as he explained how they should use their intuition and the silence of nature to access their inner wisdom that was within each of them.

Despite the rewards he received, his goal was not to ensure that the villages relied on him and kept coming back for more info and to bring him more gifts.

His goal was to educate the villages so that they did not need him and that they could thrive all by themselves. In modern day, humans do not have this confidence.

They are terrified of being not needed and so they create a web that enforces people to keep coming back for more. They enforce a scenario where they are always needed and rewarded for their knowledge and skills.

A true wise man does not do this, he knows that when he operates form his highest self and when he teaches for the love of teaching that the universe will provide any abundance that he requires.

When you empower others, they not only thrive even more but they come back for they are hungry and curious for more. They tell and bring their friends and family to also receive the advice and teachings of the wise man.

The truth is, that when the wise man is living in his own truth and is of service and being authentic then he resonates with everyone. He is loved and appreciated.

He is simply himself and this is enough and it is perfect. There is nothing more to do and nothing more to be.
