Season 4 of Creative Spirits has begun! And we are so excited to welcome back our regular listeners and saying hello to all the new ones! We love you and we trust you are here in perfect and divine timing!

With the new year turning into this year we start the newest season with an episode on how important it is that you allow your roots to go deep and your own light to be the way you illuminate your path - even if at times the light from others seems to be brighter.

We have all been there. It does not matter if it is as a business owner, a creative or a mama. We begin a project with passion and it is infectious. Our light goes brighter and it attracts people who love the beam we give off. And then they begin to help us. They tell us how to grow bigger and faster and do it all better. We get excited and follow their advice but somewhere along the lines what began as something fun and full of enthusiasm has turned into an uphill battle and energy suck.

Does that mean we quit? 

Absolutely not.

But it may mean we went from defining our happiness to being swept up into what others want, hope and expect from us and allowing that to define our happiness instead. 

And chances are somewhere along the line the ego has creeped in and with it a full raging case of comparisonitis. 

The solution? Not quitting. Not throwing yourself into things harder. But rather stepping back, breathing deep and feeling out your own roots. Going back to your why, going back to what you love and what lights you up, defining happiness for yourself and keeping your focus on your life. 

Because it does not matter how shiny your bars glow for someone else, what matters is how happy you are in the life you experience.
