Issue #36: The muse rings your doorbell every day.
The muse rings your doorbell every day. It’s you who’s not in the mood.
Mood can never be a creative fuel. You can't wait for the muse to strike, for then, the muse will be on a long waiting list. But there is a smarter way, a Tatkal Sewa, if you may, to help the muse jump rows on that waiting list. It's called showing up. When you open the door irrespective of the 'mood' you are in, the muse comes in like she owns the place.?????
The muse then walks straight to your sacred space, gets into character and starts to seduce you. She doesn't have to wait long before, either you shed every bit of inhibition and join her for a day of amorous joy in recreating her. Or you just walk out of the door saying that you are not in the mood.?????
Creative energy and inspiration are always available on tap. It's we who are moody; it's we who disappear for months, sometimes years, or sometimes an entire lifetime. It's we who do not show up.?????
Keep the door open. In fact, never lock it. The muse will happily settle in with you. No more waiting, ever. No more waiting for the right mood.
Don’t let your dreams have a gestation period of a lifetime.
If not now, when??????
Dreams take time to realise.????
?At times, you feel you need many lifetimes. For what you want to create may seem so unscalable; an Everest that you don't even try.?????
Sometimes, dreams need an entire lifetime. Because you wait for, well, time. And time never comes. The pursuit of making a living ensures that. And then there are responsibilities, children, education, social expectations and the wars of ego.?????
But all you sometimes need to realise is a dream is a moment in time. This very moment. Decide that you want better for yourself and see how the universe churns to make the shift happen. You may call it beginner's luck and feel it's just a coincidence but it's a far bigger miracle at play. It's creating a better, joyful, fulfilling, and amplified life for yourself by pursuing the soulful dreams that you have harboured since childhood. And the universe is ready to conspire.?????
Make it happen. If not now, when?
