"If I am being persuaded that I do not have the power to create sufficiently to fulfill my own needs, or that I ought to be doing something else with my time, I can bet that I am being manipulated."
Yes yes yes. This is how I've felt for years. I've felt endlessly negated by teachers, school and parents. It feels like I haven't been allowed to live in that creative energy that you talk about here. But that's all changing as I'm trusting myself more than an external authority.
Thank you for sharing. I'm following you - please post more like this
It's been tough for me to start trusting my instincts over the years, especially as they are so often counter to what these external authorities have been preaching all these years. Have you ever read the book "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" by Malcolm Gladwell? Highly recommended. Cheers @alexc!
And yes, great post @melissag! I love it! :)
