Listen To The Small Voice
I invite you to live your best life and trust your gut
I quit my job left the state moved in with my sister and started to focus on a career centered around my creative abilities. Currently I’m a freelance writer a novelist (manifesting) and a tarot card reader BigDeckEnergyTarot. what I do is a hard pill to swallow for most and just down right laughable to others. Some consider me to be a charlatan while others think I’m insane. People from my past are thinking how the person does they knew many years ago and this person they see today exist simultaneously, they don’t. The old me is dead my leaves fell winter passed my leaves have regrown kiss my ass. It is drilled into our minds that people don’t change that’s changelings you bafoon, people are the same as they have always been deep down. It’s not common because it isn’t easy, but people have the ability to do things far beyond what any of us can imagine. The human mind is limitless and every day I see something that could be considered impossible until it is done. I used to drink, smoke, party every weekend lie, cheat, and steal. That’s who hey will always see me as because its who they met me as and I have to be okay with that and not let it hold me back only you know what you are capable of. So, to see me eating healthy, drinking tea, meditating, and reading tarot cards they think that’s fake or I need to see a psychiatrist when all I’m really doing is trusting my intuition. I know so many people who have told me they had a dream about something and then it happened or they had a gut feeling not to do something and they later found out it would have been a terrible move. My cousin snoozed her alarm decided to sleep in a little one day and be late to work and as she is getting ready and watching the news she sees the twin towers go down which is where she worked. It doesn’t have to be like “that’s So raven” trusting your gut listening to the voice inside your head knowing you’re right even when nobody else believes you and not needing another reason that’s all it takes. Most people don’t trust their gut instinct and they end up kicking themselves later for it. How many times did you think you should have bet on a team or on black at the casino or should’ve taken an alternate route home because you sensed traffic? That’s not the coolest superpower but hey It takes practice. listening to intuition the voice inside of you is small, faint, beaten down from years of you not listening to it. It’s not your fault, sometimes people in power tell you differently and try to convince you to go against your gut like your parents, teachers, so superiors your whole life and you just assume your first guess is wrong and change the answer but you had it all along. Me quitting my stable factory job with good benefits in a frigid tundra and moving somewhere warm and inspiring was the right choice for me. People tried to convince me otherwise but that’s just because that wouldn’t be the right choice for them. Not everybody can follow the same path or there would be no writers for your tv shows no books to engross yourself in no music to soothe you. I’m sure many celebrities were told you’ll never make it and they literally just had to go against everything they “know” to be true and follow their instincts. I know it seems reckless but I’m telling you learning to trust your gut and decipher the difference between anxiety and a gut feeling is the key to living your best life. Jk Rowling got the idea for harry potter in a dream, I’m sure along the way someone told her it’s a dumb idea they aren’t interested and nobody else will be either. I’m sure someone told her dreams are just that nothing more not and idea for your next work project. All that is required of you in this life is to identify your passion follow it as far as it goes and don’t allow anyone to sully that with their idea of what you should be doing instead. You know very well what is best for you act like it! The original video and picture necessary to submit this made me realize even more how much my life has changed how much I've traveled lately and how happy I am with the choices I've made thus far.

No Cap
In 2022 I’m going to go a hell of a lot easier on myself about work and here is why. I was meditating the other day and a thought came to me. Sometimes the only reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t yet think you deserve it. This above all else is the key to manifesting your dreams and any self-limiting beliefs will drag you down like an anchor. Whether it be capitalism, the media, or people who think hard labor is the key to all their perceived success, someone along the way ingrained in us that we must suffer before we soar. You must put your blood sweat and tears into something before you can see any earnings. You must sacrifice to the God’s before your blessings come in. To me it was the church, be like Jesus, be meek, work hard. sacrifice yourself for the greater good, and you will be rewarded in heaven. Let me tell you right now the Mega rich didn’t get where they are with slaving away at someone else’s company until their hard work was noticed and opportunity was given to them. They gave a pound of flesh, but it is that of their workers, they have pushed the narrative that hard work pays off so that they can have a bunch of hard workers willing to do anything for their company, meanwhile they do little to no work and would offer you up as a sacrificial lamb to save a few thousand dollars a year. In many countries Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Germany for example, things like free healthcare and free college tuition are given to all their citizens because those are basic rights, and everyone is having access to these things just for existing. In America, they make you pay for those necessities by offering up your life in the military or offering up the majority of your life working to keep a small percentage of wealthy people even more wealthy. They take away your basic needs and then offer them back to you for a high price. I don’t know about ya’ll but for me the year of the struggle is over my friends, you deserve good things, you deserve to have free healthcare, you deserve to have free college tuition You are inherently worthy just for existing. Don’t let these lemmings in the comment sections of controversial social media videos make you feel like you’re not thriving in life because you haven’t pulled yourself up by your bootstraps and put in an honest day’s work. You aren’t thriving because the system was designed to keep your head barely above water so you can’t leave your jobs because the owners of that company want to amass more money than they know what to do with. You have been convinced that only a certain select few people can live lavishly and have a beautiful home and eat well. You have been conditioned to believe that the people you see in movies, TV shows, celebrities, politicians, & rich white men in power are the only ones with access to the ability to live abundantly. If there is anything social media has taught us it’s that anyone with a niche business idea or a bubbly personality and a lot to say can amass a cult-like following and be paid for their creative contribution to the world. So, whatever your childhood dream was that thing that people told you wasn’t attainable or that your parents wouldn’t support, and you stop considering as an option. That thing that’s more of a hobby and just something you really enjoy doing and shouldn’t be considered work because you love it some much, Do that! There is a guy with 500,000 followers who literally just shows him working at McDonalds all day. There is a lady who just bakes pretty cakes in her kitchen at home. People care what you have to say, and more than that you can leverage those followers to make you money. This year go easier on yourself about how working harder is the best way to make money. That’s just not true the hardest workers are the most underpaid and companies are taking advantage of the fact that you feel like you can’t turn down their unattractive offers. The best way to make money is to do what you’re truly passionate about because fortune favors the brave. Be brave, get an account, share your hobbies, your passions, hell just share your time and talk with people, and I promise the universe will conspire to make you money because you are honoring yourself. Sometimes self-care is doing that thing you’re too scared to do because someone told you, you couldn’t do it, or several someones over the course of a lifetime, either way silence those self-limiting thoughts in your head because they usually aren’t even your thoughts those are things people think about you.
