Embracing Your Authentic Style

“One of the reasons many of us have trouble getting our work out in the world is that unconsciously we’re competing instead of creating, which always short circuits the flow of inspiration.”
~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

The amount of talent and wonderful artists and ideas out there can be overwhelming.  It is too easy to focus on all that is going on around us and feel like there is nothing left for us to offer.  But happily, that is not the case! Focusing inward on what lights us up and gives us joy is the key to finding and following our authentic style

Judy Garland said, “Don’t be a second rate version of anyone else, be a first rate version of yourself.”

Once you find your authentic path and begin to follow it, all the other pieces fall into place. Follow your heart and doors will open for you. Trust that following your passion will get you on the track designed and created especially for you.   How wonderful that your highest, most inspired vision of your life and your authentic life are the same! Whatever it is that, brings you joy, sends you soaring, fulfills your yearning, sparks your passion in other words your bliss is also your authentic path.

“God has lots of movie ideas, novel ideas, poems, songs, paintings, acting jobs” Julia Cameron reassures us. By listening to the creator within we are led to our right path.  Once you accept an artistic assignment from the great creator, it’s yours. Nobody can take it away from you unless of course you relinquish it. Nobody can duplicate your work because there’s no one in the world like you.

 “They can imitate but they can’t duplicate. Your work is born of your sensibilities, temperament, experience, emotion, passion, perseverance, and attention to detail, idiosyncrasies and eccentricities.  When you are authentic, so is your art”. (Another wise gem from Sarah Ban Breathnach)

Embracing our authentic style is all about getting to know the most important person in your life and honoring and expressing what she loves and who she truly is…You!

“I have learned this at least by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of her dreams and endeavors to live the life which she has imagined she will meet with a success unexpected in common hour.” ~Thoreau
