We love the imperfect shapes in nature and in the works of art, look for an intentional error as a sign of the golden key and sincerity found in true mastery.

Keep going

...even when the draft feels bad. That just means you've refined your eye for what makes "good" writing. You can always edit later!

Terrible secret: There's a really awkward thing that happens to all writers (and other artists/creatives/makers). They get good enough that it becomes hard to write anything. As your skill increases, so do your standards. So everything you write feels mediocre.

The weird part is that this "mediocre" writing is far better than what you were writing before. You have just moved the goalposts on yourself as you improved. So you have to learn to give yourself permission to write anything. Even if you think it's bad.

What usually happens at that point is that you either:

A) end up not writing badly at all and surprising yourself with what you manage to produce, or

B) create something that has issues but is easily editable later on into something that meets your standards.

But wow, is it a gnarly adjustment to ignore that emotional reflex of "this sucks, I suck" and press on anyway.

I do find myself frequently wondering how many writers reach this awkward phase, believe wrongly that they suck, and never write again - just at the point when they're starting to get good! I'd imagine A LOT of them.

And no, this doesn't just happen with writing. It happens with every kind of artist and craftsperson. People tend to quit just as they're getting good, because their standards have raised along with their skills.

You've got this.

Well, here's a shortcut: YOU love YOU, YOU take the wheel, YOU command the energies, YOU take ownership of YOUR life, of YOUR Light and the Power available within you. See how everything else comes into alignment, and if it doesn't, who cares?? You're in your own RADIANCE!!

The only person who is spiritually smart is the one who has learned how to learn, unlearn, and change directions instantly, and start all over again, if your soul calls for it.

Image: The Sun. It can only be appreciated by its absence. The longer the days of rain, the more the sun is craved. But too many hot days and the sun overwhelms. Learn to keep yourself obscure and make people demand your return.

From Worlds of Light, we come again into classroom Earth, where challenging lessons would lead us to Mastery, to awareness of our immortal self, that we may see the Radiant Splendor behind all things, and experience the Perfect Presence that embraces us in ecstatic love.

I resonate with Osho's perspective that whether someone loves or hates you, it is their own concern to deal with. Understanding your true self allows you to stay in harmony with your being, and nobody can disrupt your inner balance. Whether someone loves or hates you, it doesn't affect your inner state. This state of being is referred to as mastery or crystallization, where you become free from external impressions and influences.

//Friday 4th August//
