You will look outside yourself for answers. Almost everyone does.
And every time you do, you trade attention for permission.
“We seek outside the wonders we carry inside us.”
— Rumi
There comes a moment when it becomes clear: the power you’re searching for has always been coming from the place you are already standing. See it then, or miss it forever.
If you miss it, fear steps in.
If you leave the decision of who you are until the moment things fall apart, fear will decide for you in the absence of self understanding. The ground collapses. Self-trust evaporates. Fear becomes the only authority left.
Most people do not have their own backs. Watch closely. Fear moves faster than truth ever can.
A life organised around fear is a contracted life. You will never know how far you can go unless you are willing to go too far.
But willingness without awareness turns destructive. They must be bound.
We have handed our instincts over to systems, methods, frameworks, credentials. Even education betrays us the moment it narrows imagination. When imagination shrinks, potential follows. Indoctrination is quiet and toxic.
We are losing the feel of things. When sensation disappears, perception distorts. Decisions stop coming from the body and start coming from fear wearing the mask of reason.
So step off the map. Get curious. Enter the unknown. Fall down. Stand up. But do not abandon yourself. Follow the small, persistent signals your intuition keeps leaving behind.
Be loyal to the experience of your own process. Forget what you’ve read. Forget what you’ve been told.
Discipline does not create greatness when it is rooted in cruelty. Self-judgment does not refine talent. Self-betrayal does not lead to mastery.
You will not reach the core of your individual ability by following mob mentality.
If you have to comply, comply to your own intuition. If you can’t hear it, start listening.
That compliance produces competence. Obsession produces brilliance.
Be obsessed with being yourself.
That is where your real power lives.
