The importance of choosing paths that resonate deeply with one's identity & values, even when they diverge from conventional expectations or safety, can lead to a life & career that is not only more fulfilling but also deeply authentic.

Making demands without personal accountability or regard for personal capacity is Emotional Entitlement. Placing expectations on others to innately understand us is the source of our disappointment when they don’t. It is hypocritical to hold others responsible for sensing & delivering needs that we are unwilling to declare & secure for Self. The real issue isn't having expectations but failing to consider how we'll cope if they're unfulfilled. 

In a relationship, where & with whom is emotional entitlement cast upon you, & where & with whom do you apply it?

If your behavior was incubated & motivated by love, how would you move if every action felt meaningful to fulfill over making moves to fulfill an expectation?

When we relate to Self as both difficult to figure out & difficult to please, life becomes work with little space for play, let alone work WITH play, & even less space to allow for meaningful moments where there is purpose to NO WORK & ONLY PLAY.

Energy teaches us capacity. It teaches us how to spot what nurtures to understand how nourishment does & does not feel. We need to learn to spot what sources us and what doesn’t.

When we’re able to identify what is not for us, we can pause in moments where contrary energies are being served or trying to motivate us, to notice if or when we’re inclined to operate without integrity. Without accountability of & consideration for capacity. Without knowing if what we’re about to engage in is something we’re willing to take 100% responsibility for.

If we become desensitized to what infringes on us, neglects us, & acts without regard for us, we can not only become unconscious of how it negatively influences us to act without intent & responsibility, but numb to even notice that it is. We can start to believe it is ok to threaten us into action.  Natural, normal, even. It becomes our programming. It becomes a survival pattern reaction to force effort, with a hyper-vigilant DOING response to threatening energy. 

When we operate from threat, it can not only influence self-government but relational engagement. It can cause us to infuse forceful energy into how we engage others. We can become unconscious of trusting that energy & then unknowingly enact it everywhere.

Sometimes what creates progress is the opposite of perfection & is often also known as INTERESTING, CREATIVE, ORIGINAL, INSPIRING, DELICIOUS, LIFE-CHANGING, BEAUTIFUL & ART.

Greatness is giving Self permission to be creative, & interesting.

Greatness is the relief behind relaxing into accepting the benefits of our Essence & authenticity.

Greatness is fucking around, finding abundance & space to celebrate it.

Greatness is learning to inspire inner discovery & teach how expansive & nurturing it is to explore.

Trusting ourselves makes us great.

Courage makes us great.

Perfectionism is a true blockage to our greatness.

How we relate to emotions like those which typically are labeled negative, characterizes our reactions TO them & often our interactions WITH them. It gives them the ability to empower or overwhelm us. 

The difference in a positively balanced experience with emotion, then, is cultivated by the acceptance of our relationship with what we’re feeling. Its prioritization, however, can cause us to unconsciously reject or deny what is contrary.

Rejecting stress, fear, anger, grief, denial, regret, getting elevated, etc., as useful, purposeful, or manageable is what makes its experience less favorable & less tolerable.

How we view purpose, utility & capacity defines how we experience what we’re present to & how we manage our presence or become activated with it.

You are someone who moves thoughtfully with regard for energy, utilizing precision & a specifically harnessed intent that is equal parts analytical & tactical.

In other words, you are someone who does not care to waste your or others mother fucking time.

This methodology of pinpointing an objective, noticing where & why it is obstructed, and then facing issues to move forward with clarity is known as going backward to move forward or beginning with the end in mind.

Operating with a positive intention to assess what could fuck up progress, we can forget that facing a problem is a healthy, important aspect of how we process information.

I see now how a free person’s unattachments can challenge those trapped in theirs. 

I see now that anything fully enjoyed can make us feel rich & abundant when we learn to be unapologetic about how moved we are in our own experience with its art.

I see now how important it is to know our attachments & what prevents us from living free-spiritedness as art alive.

I see now why it’s important to choose what echoes abundance, livens the spirit, & reflects our life’s artistry to set us free.

Vegas is designed to titillate your senses. Make you think about the restrictions of everyday life. Challenge that perspective. Open yourself up to the possibility of exploring uninhibited expression, but also learn how to embrace a healthy relationship with it.

It’s ‘Here Kitty, Kitty’ delivers for me every time. Its consistency is inconsistent at best. It’s never the same. EVER. It’s unapologetic about it. And, I FUCKING LOVE IT.

Its audacity welcomes me to be wholly as weird & extra as I truly am. Flaunt it. And, rub elbows with those unashamed to be seen doing it, too.
