“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.” – Martha Graham
What blocks you? Fear, clutter, money, disorganization, activation energy, the unknown, impressing others, overwhelm, boredom, complacency?
The odds of your existence are one in four trillion. That’s what scientists have calculated based on the chances of you being born when you were, where you were, to your particular parents, with your DNA. Does that feel like a lot of pressure?
It’s not about compare and despair, it’s about you. What do you bring to the table? What lights you up? What do you want? What do you enjoy? What can you share? What’s on your bucket list?
Keep the channel open.
