Being

Can you hear it? That still small voice. The gnawing desire to be. Your heart yearning.

“The desire to play music is the power which can play music seeking expression and development; the desire to invent mechanical devices is the mechanical talent seeking expression and development.” Wallace D. Wattles

In 2007 I wrote in my journal; “The desire to write is the power which can write seeking expression and development.” In 2009 I made another entry expressing my excitement in finally understanding these words. Now the words of Abraham Maslow ring louder for me; “A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.”

What are you being?

Tap the wealth

The wealth we have from previous generations recorded in writings can lead to growth, or not. Napoleon Hill, Author of Think and Grow Rich made the importance of taking action clear:

“Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand,
and work with whatever tools you may have at your command,
and better tools will be found as you go along.”

Paralysis by analysis can cause our days to be unpleasant.

What are you going to start doing? What gets your blood flowing? I love what Abraham Maslow, the American Psychologist stated:

“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write,
if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.”

Thanks for rising to your calling to be the change. Enjoy these words of Herodotus, Greek Historian (485 – 425BC):

“It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to
half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness
for fear of what might happen.”
