Inspirational quotes from Elizabeth Gilbert's book "Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear":
“Creative entitlement simply means believing that you are allowed to be here, and that—merely by being here—you are allowed to have a voice and a vision of your own.” “Never delude yourself into believing that you require someone else’s blessing (or even their comprehension) in order to make your own creative work.” “Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.” When the curtains close
And the masks drop And the lights go out Who are you really? When the curtains open And the roles are played And the emotions are displayed Who are you really? When the dreams seem real And the imagination feels surreal And the fantasy blends with reality Who are you really? When the timeline shifts And the stories are rewritten And the characters are rearranged Who are you really? When the desires are transparent And the water washes away your sorrows And the fire renews your hopes Who are you really? When the walls dissipate And the tower crumbles down And the played personas remember love Who are you really? When your feet touch the earth And your body sways with the wind and your mind is free to dream Who are you really? When you embrace your true self And you create your own art And you light your own spark Who are you really? -Renata  Transformation brings the birth of the new.
A new awareness. A new situation. A new dream. And that newness is the expansion of our inner being, which can sometimes feel like a death and rebirth of ourselves. This rebirth doesn't mean pushing against the old and resisting it. We can ease into the newness by finding appreciation for what is, while being open to what is more in alignment with who we are becoming. The path is unfolding. We have to believe it to see it. Surrendering to the flow of life that knows exactly where we want to go and where we need to be. Surrender can be experienced in resting, meditating, napping, breathing, taking a relaxing walk, painting, lying on the grass, observing nature... -Renata  May the past be put to rest I see its gifts, it was not a test In the present I do my best I plant (and water) the seeds of what I want to manifest I can raise my vibration again (and again) Even and especially when I feel the pain The contrasts were not in vain I feel what I feel, no one to blame My inner being knows my path Sometimes I cry, sometimes I laugh My emotions are my guiding system All I have to do is to "listen" I feel the wind, I feel the grass I dance and honor my body’s inner compass I sing with birds, I touch a tree I'll cast no shadows, we are here to be free I follow my own rhythm, Love and joy give me freedom I shape my reality with my beliefs Sometimes I attract a storm, sometimes a breeze It matters the Energy that we vibrate That's how we create This world is our playground We all can make our own sound I've got nothing to win or to lose I am here to create my own muse Happiness and worthiness are my birthright May we all shine our own inner light. Powerful full moon...
an ideal time for hopes and passions to bloom May I make peace with what was embracing the new desire and the inner fire May I take advantage of the ideal conditions and let go of the self-impositions May I charge my intentions with visualizations and enjoy the unfolding of manifestations May I trust the signs above and below having faith and staying in the flow! Happy Full Moon!
 Life is a journey that unfolds piece by piece, as each day arrives.
We will experience moments of joy, of accomplishment, of connection, of sadness, of fear, of doubts. Our choices and experiences can help us grow as we develop awareness. But we can also choose to ignore the lesson, the signs, the opportunities and repeat the old patterns over and over. As much as our lives can be influenced or affected by others and external circumstances, we are responsible for our actions. Each day you are the one that has to deal with own your fears, you are the one that has to love and accept yourself the most. Challenges will be given to every human being, but we have to remember that everything is temporary. As we become (hopefully) a bit wiser we learn how to better respond to uncomfortable or unpleasant situations, and we also learn to feel more appreciation even for the small things in life, and that's key to help us to get the most out of our unique journey. - Renata Lima |
