A Poets View

The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.

Alan Alda

This quote by Alan Alda eloquently describes the essence of individuality.  We are all blessed with intuition yet not everyone listens to those soft words which come from our heart.  

Have you ever been faced with a situation where there is something that is telling you to stop yet you go ahead anyway?  That something telling you to stop is your intuition.  My mantra is to always listen to that soft whisper.  When asked to do something or go somewhere your initial reaction is that of your heart.  That is your inner self or your intuition that guides you in the right direction.

I believe we are all connected.  We are all brothers and sisters.  What makes us individuals is not our hair or eye color but our spirit.  Our spirit with roots in creation and passion.  Our spirit and our heart are at the core of our individual nature.  Within spirit lies our creative talents - our true authentic self.  Our heart houses our feelings and passions.  These two entities work together to help us find our true self.

Being an individual is being able to tap into your spirit and find the real you.  We must not adhere to what others think or feel we should be.  We should march to our own drummer and seek our own truth.    Just think if we were all the same in our creativity and passions, what a boring world this would be.  We are all one yet unique in our spirit.

Here are a few suggestions:

1. Let go of responsibilities that others have bestowed upon you without your consent.  You should not have to live up to any choices others have made for you.  You are your own person and as a result make your own choices.

2. Do not ask permission for anything.  As an individual you can stand up on your own and create from your spirit.
