Let your little cork rise!

I recently finished an interesting book - Stop Thinking, Start Living by Richard Carlson.

One of the analogies that struck me strongly was that we all are like a huge ocean of thoughts and feelings and at the bottom of the ocean is a little cork that represents our inner wisdom or higher knowledge, whatever you may wish to call it.

The only thing that can stop the cork from rising to the surface of the ocean is for obstacles to get in it's way.

I found it a helpful way of expressing that rather than constantly seeking external answers or truth, we need to simply let the waters calm and listen to ourselves. Deep within us, we ALL know what's right and meaningful for our lives.

We can apply a similar idea to our creativity. If we remove the internal obstacles that hinder our creative expression - the doubts, fears, hang-ups and negative beliefs - we can all create the most amazing works of art in our lives.

In fact our lives themselves can become great works of art.

So here's to letting YOUR little cork rise..!
