"If you hear a voice within you that says “you cannot paint” then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” —Van Gogh
So true! Van Gogh may have had a bit of an instability issue (the whole ear thing!), but he mastered his creativity, despite his style which defied the critics of his time.
How many things do we quit or not even begin because we hear the voice that wants to stop us?
How many things do we quit or not even begin because we hear the voice that wants to stop us? How many excuses do we come up with to not embark on a new journey—whether it is in the creative realm, spiritual, for our health, career or relationship?
How about making a change right now? What are the voices that you hear that limit you from making a change in you life right now? Like Van Gogh noted, if you go ahead and take action and do what you want, then the voices are all proven liars.
Edmund Burke said, “No person made a greater mistake than the one who did nothing because he or she could only do a little.”
What stops you from taking even the smallest step in a new direction? I’ve heard every reason that people can’t do things—they don’t have time, they don’t have the money, their spouse doesn’t want them to change, they live too far away from the activity. Sometimes they’re too tired, too stressed, or too busy.
All of those excuses are just physical manifestations of the energy in their space that tells them what they can’t or shouldn’t do. The person gives those voices power by letting them exist in their space and believing in them. We call that being programmed, and we can choose to release that programming.
Everything is a choice and we make happen what we truly want. Sometimes the first step to making it happen is simply thinking positively. It’s free, it’s instant, and it doesn’t matter who’s around!
You can begin to shift your reality right now. See the beauty of the day and silence the silly voices in your head by simply going ahead and doing what you perceive as right in this moment.
Notice that this reality lives side by side with many other realities—hatred, prejudice, war, starvation, abuse—as Mary Bell said in her article, life can be messy.
But choose to focus on that which is working. Meditate and pray daily for peace and love to prevail for all on the planet. Give time, money or positive thoughts to things you believe in.
Follow your truth and fire the negative voices in your head. Find where your passion leads you and follow through with it. Don’t let what isn’t working on the planet stop you from seeing miracles daily!
