The other day I came across a poem by one of my favorite poets Rumi in which he said, “Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.” The poem goes against everything we’ve learned growing up, which basically was advice on how to not ruin our reputation and to always care about what people think of us because somehow our lives are dependent on the opinion of others. Which made me think… what a reputation is even, like what does it even mean? Is there one fixed reputation that I can have in If I’m constantly worried about acting a certain way, talking a certain way, thinking a certain way my life, or do I have different reputations because if you ask person X about me, they’re going to have a different perspective of me than Person Y, and so on. That’s because people can only see others from the level of understanding and consciousness that they are vibrating at. This pretty much means that my reputation is just a compilation of other people’s thoughts about me based on their own level of awareness at that given time. How does that even make sense? In front of people, then when do I get to be me. And if I can’t be myself, then how can I ever live life as an authentic human being? I’m pretty much a fake, and is that how I really want to live life? Not anymore. I want to live life like myself. I want to move out of my comfort zone and into the unknown, into freedom from judgment, into freedom from self-criticism, into purpose. Is fitting in comfortable? Of course, it is. you’re doing everything right by society’s terms, but you’re slowly killing that creative burn within you. You’re slowly silencing your soul’s voice. You’re suppressing your inner voice’s desire to shine. Would you rather be pretending to live on the outside, but be dying on the inside. Or would you rather let go of your need to have society’s definition of a reputation, and step into your truth, so that you can shine from the inside. and when you shine from the inside, your light uplifts the people you were brought on this earth to uplift. So now I understand what Rumi meant by being mad. He just meant that we should choose to live life as our true self, as our authentic selves. To show up to life exactly as we are, and who cares what people might think. If they want to call us mad and crazy, let them. I’d rather be mad and free, than a prisoner in someone else’s perception of me. So today ask yourself, who you want to live for, others, or yourself.

When we talk about manifesting, we are not speaking about going out there and getting something. We are talking about vibrationally vibrating with our desires. This means that we need to embody our desires, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually so that we are vibrating at the same frequency as our desires. In order to manifest, we first need to ask ourselves, what is it that I truly desire – what is it that brings me happiness and joy? One great way to find out what your soul desires are to ask yourself if those desires to hold inspiration and service within them? If you can envision yourself happy and joyful with that desire, then there’s an inspiration. The next step is to make sure that during the manifesting process, we are not focusing on the lack of our desire. For example, If we want love, we need to be loving to ourselves and to others, instead of focusing on being lonely. If we want abundance, we need to respect money, instead of focusing and thinking about debt. Once we recognize how manifesting works, and the mindset behind it, then we need to implement the 3 step rule.
The first step is to simply ask, similar to the old saying, ask and you shall receive. Once we’ve asked for our desire, we need to spiritually surrender and allow the universe to take the reins which are the second step. During this time, we need to avoid trying to control or manipulate the outcome and simply allow the universe to do its job. Simultaneously, step 3 comes into place, which instructs us to be open to receiving. In other words, we need to be in a state of joy, and gratitude in order for the universe to be able to deliver our desires into our life. The universe cannot deliver our desires if we’re vibrating at a low frequency. Energy attracts its likeness, so as long as we’re in that low energy state, our desires will be blocked too. We have over 50,000 thoughts a day, and if we give any single thought enough time and energy, it can come to fruition. So it’s important to become conscious of our thoughts and the energy we are vibrating at. If we want to attract light and positivity, we need to vibrate at a higher frequency. One way to do that is by practicing gratitude because gratitude allows us to step inside the realm of positivity and joy. By expressing gratitude, you are simply asking the universe to give you more blessings! Whenever you are grateful for something, is like you’re asking for more of that same thing. So today let us set the intention to vibrate at higher frequencies and to become more aware of our thoughts so that we can start co-creating and manifesting our desires.
