Prepare to be Amazed

If you LIKE what I do,
then these are some of my BELIEFS.
If you DON’T like what I do,
then this is COMPLETE and utter BULLSHIT.

You won’t FIND your voice
until you USE it.

Accept that you’re not any BETTER
or any WORSE than anybody else.

You will not feel fully YOURSELF
until you stop emulating others.

You need not let the POTENTIALS
of what you do stop you from doing it.

More than TRUSTING your intuition,
trust that you HAVE intuition.

It’s okay to PRETEND
you have INTUITION
you have a VOICE
you have MAGIC inside you
until the moment you REALIZE
that you’re NOT pretending,
but merely CHANNELING
a seeming SOMETHING
out of a seeming NOTHING.

You are discovering your FAITH,
your FLOW, beginning with your SELF.

It’s time
to get out of your own way.

Be prepared to be AMAZED
at the MIRACLE that is YOU.

Embracing the Miracle of Self-Discovery

The journey of self-discovery and self-expression is akin to walking through a whimsical forest, where each step uncovers new wonders and insights. The path to finding and using our voice, trusting our intuition, and realizing our innate magic is both an adventure and a revelation.

Finding Your Voice Through Usage

The quest to find one’s voice is not a passive endeavor. It demands action, a vocal symphony of trials, errors, and successes. We uncover the nuances of our unique voice only by using it, by speaking our truths, and by sharing our stories and perspectives.

Equality in the Human Experience

Acknowledging that we are neither better nor worse than anyone else is a humbling and empowering realization. It places us in a whimsical caravan, journeying alongside others, each with their own tales, struggles, and triumphs. This understanding fosters empathy and connection, essential ingredients in the cosmic stew of humanity.

Authenticity Over Emulation

The realization that true fulfillment comes not from emulating others but from embracing our authentic selves is a pivotal moment in our journey. It’s like shedding an ill-fitting costume and stepping into a tailor-made suit of self-acceptance and originality.

Overcoming the Fear of Potential

The apprehension about the potentials of our actions often acts as an invisible barrier. Overcoming this fear involves stepping into the unknown, embracing the risks, and recognizing that the act of doing is a victory in itself, regardless of the outcome.

Trusting and Honoring Intuition

More than just trusting our intuition, it’s crucial to acknowledge that we possess this inner compass. Sometimes, pretending to have intuition is the first step towards recognizing and honing this innate ability. This process is not a fabrication but a channeling of something profound and real.

The Realization of Innate Magic

The moment of realization that we are not pretending, but channeling something out of seemingly nothing, is a magical awakening. It’s an unveiling of our inherent abilities, our unique magic that has been waiting to be acknowledged and expressed.

Faith and Flow in Self-Discovery

This journey is also about discovering faith in ourselves and finding our flow. It requires stepping aside, letting go of self-imposed limitations, and allowing our true selves to emerge and shine.

The Miracle of Being You

Preparing to be amazed at the miracle that is you is an invitation to witness the unfolding of your potential, the blooming of your inner garden. It’s a recognition that within each of us lies a universe of possibilities, waiting to be explored and celebrated.

Summary

The journey of self-discovery involves finding and using our voice, recognizing our equality with others, and embracing our authenticity. Overcoming the fear of our potential and trusting our intuition are key steps in this process. Realizing that we are channeling something profound and not merely pretending, leads to discovering faith in ourselves and finding our flow. Ultimately, we should be prepared to be amazed at the miracle that is ourselves, as we uncover the infinite potential and magic within.

A Poem on Self-Discovery and Amazement

In the journey of self, a path we tread,
Finding our voice, letting it spread.
Not better, not worse, in this whimsical play,
Equal in spirit, in our own unique way.

Shedding the masks of emulation and guise,
Embracing ourselves, a wondrous surprise.
Overcoming fear, potentials unbound,
In the act of doing, our true selves are found.

Trusting our intuition, a guiding light,
Acknowledging its power, with all our might.
Channeling magic, from nothing it seems,
Unveiling our gifts, fulfilling our dreams.

Discovering faith, in the flow of our being,
Stepping aside, our true selves freeing.
Ready to witness, in amazement, we see,
The miracle of ‘I’, the magic of ‘me’.

In this dance of self-discovery, so grand,
A universe within, at our command.
Be prepared to be amazed, in this cosmic tour,
At the wonder, the miracle, that is you, pure.

We invite reflections on this journey of self-discovery and the amazement of uncovering the miracle that is each of us.
