Do they do that for you too?
Have we actually run out of words to describe all the different ways people can ask us to join into their groups? Now you have to be a 'creatrix' or be proficient in 'successology'.
Everyone is trying to establish their own business identity. Trying so hard to be different, to stand out from everyone else who is trying to do well in this world.
This is how businesses attract their tribe, their followers.
But remember at the back of it all they are still businesses.
They tell us things we want to hear.
We can be anything and everything we want to be.
Nothing is impossible.
There is truth in this - we have opportunities now that ever before.
But we can get overwhelmed with the desire to 'be something or someone other than ourselves'.
Being an 'influencer' seems an important task. But the influencer is only influencing others to buy or do stuff that the influencer has been successful at doing for themselves.
For some people, buzz words like 'influencer' and 'successologist' and can be triggers for some of us.
For some, they are the thing that creates an impulse to join in that new gang of creative creatures.
For some, it's an immediate internal angst as due to our life commitments we just cannot join into that opportunity to re-invent ourselves or do what looks so good through the internet screen.
We can't just reach our mid 20's and be a wife or husband - we have to be that AND business people as well having created a portfolio of houses as well.
We can't just reach our 40's and be parents and happy - happiness is not enough because we have not got new cars, a new house, our own business and a magnificent holiday that we can blog to our friends...and oh...are we influencers yet?
We can't get to 50 or 60 and say - thank goodness!! I can now relax.
No!! we can't.
We are expected to have reinvented ourselves at least three times and be running our super blog and instagram and be living the dream. Don't forget to still look perfect and have the most successful and happy family on this Earth.
No one tells you that at that age you have to still be working, you are minding the grand kids in your spare time and you should count yourself God - damn lucky if you are still healthy and so are all your kids!!
This CONSTANT PUSH TO BE BETTER AND BIGGER AND WEALTHIER AND MORE SPECTACULAR can make our lives full of stress and anxiety.
Of course, we didn't have this problem when the internet didn't exist.
We only knew a small group of people usually in our village or community - we didnt care what was happening in the rest of the world.
Now the internet helps us to be jealous of so many more people!!
But that's not you?
You don't feel jealous? You don't feel a slight twinge in the bottom of your gut when you see those posts of what you just could be if you only tried harder, took that extra course, re-invented yourself yet again?
If not - I am not speaking to you. You are cool. Great.You have it all together.
But the person next to you may be feeling that strain after having tried with every fibre of their essence and nothing is improving.
It might be time to get real and say to yourself - this is, what I have right now is not going to improve any time soon.
What can you change?
Sometimes you cant change anything.
It is what it is and you are who you are right now.
Remember the 'right now' bit.
Things change.
Real manifesting is sometimes not about getting the BIG stuff.
The big stuff might be far off but we can still forge a way there one step at a time.
It can be just about finding a place of personal happiness in spite of what you don't have right now.
Manifesting can consist of personal work that takes you inside of yourself instead of bringing THINGS towards you.
Looking into that dark space within can be the hardest work of all but if we are to be realists and change our worlds we have to dig deep within those dark places and do some clean up work.
As above, so below
As within, so without.
These simple words, written is stone so many thousands of years ago are the biggest and most important words that should guide our lives.
We can create illusions on the outside.
But the inside can be very much different and far from what we show the world.
The inside must mirror the outside for us to be fully creating a magical existence in spite of the worries of the world.
This is modern witchcraft.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Blessings to you all.
