Dear Human - A Love Letter From Life

By Shiri Godasi

Dear Human, 

You have endured the stories of your own mind, telling you how trapped, how incapable, how confused you are. 
How you are stripped of options. 
How you don’t know where to go, or what to do, or what you are meant to be. 

The truth is, you know exactly who you are. 
You know exactly what you need to do. 
You know exactly what your purpose is. 

Fear is the debilitating agent, the fog over your eyes, the weight on your heart. 

Fear is the storyteller of falsities. 
It tells you that you are crazy to leave all this behind. That you are making a huge mistake. That you will get into financial devastation. That you are immature and are ruining your life. 
That you are foolish and delusional for thinking that you can take time off to pursue your dreams. 

Your dreams have been calling you for years. 
How much longer before you answer the call?
What is being lost in this time, that you are not living your dreams?

Forget about purpose - it’s about living day to day doing what you love, engaging with what fills your heart with joy. 

Instead, you are living with anxiety, anger, resentment, confusion, or the constant feeling that you are letting everybody down. 

This is all a choice. All of it. 

The truth is that to the extent that you are letting everybody down - you are letting yourself down first. 
You are falling short on tasks generated by others - because you are falling short on the task of your lifetime. 
You are resenting others - because you are resenting yourself. 
You cannot follow through with others - because you are not following through on you.
You are tantalizing others - because you yourself are tantalized. 
The external reality is created by your internal reality. 

Wake up and receive: the reality that you are holding onto is not sustainable, because it is not meant for you. 

Sure, there will be fear of THEN WHAT?

The answers to thIS will arrive to you. The path will unfold. Trust. 

First, integrate: become aware, acknowledge, and act.

Aware - that your chaotic, conflicted life is a representation of all the conflicts you have within you, about your life, and otherwise. 

Your life does not provide you true peace,  balance or freedom; you are anxious, you are torn between a million different moving pieces, and you are enslaved to it at all times. 

Acknowledge - that your heart begs to dedicate itself to ___________.
This is the truth.
You are here to play. To get lost in __________ all day, take a break, rest, repeat. 

This is what you want to do. This is how you want to live.

The demands of your life as it has been built, are against your nature. 
A feast/famine. An all/nothing. A task by task. No seasonal breaks. An overwhelming cadence. 

No space to create when the muse speaks. 

There is a cycle in your nature that you are learning to synchronize with. 

One that is spacious. That leaves time for daydreaming. That takes time to travel, explore new spaces and reality, be inspired by life itself. To live freedom. 

Because we are here to be free.

To leave room for chance encounters, for bursts of inspiration, for creative flow that wants to move and dance naturally, on a whim. 

Creative flow cannot be amended, tamed, strategized!

Creative flow has a life of its own. 

It is like a child - wants to play when it’s playful, be loud when it’s got something to say, fly when it’s high, rest when it is tired. 

How can you be more attuned to your creative flow? 
What life in 3D needs to be built to support it?

Act - in first deciding that whatever reality you are living that is creating conflict in your life - this reality is not the way. 

If it’s hard to decide on forever, decide that this is not the way right now. 

Take a break to do what you love. To follow your heart’s calling. Tis the season.

What is meant for you, will be there. 

Yes, the fear is there, the hesitation, the lack mentality, the confusion. 
The stories are part of the human experience. 

And I am here to tell you: 
Stories have nothing on your true nature. 
Mother nature rewards the bold, the brave, those stare the fear in the eye and leap anyway - because the call to leap is stronger than them. 

Leap - and the net will appear. 

Demonstrate your faith, and receive support.

Mercilessly slay away all the maybe’s, so the FUCK YES can take up space. 

What's your FUCK YES? 

What is your dream life?

Declare your destiny - and so it is. 

Love, Life
Through Shiri
