“This is an absolute necessity for anybody today. You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers this morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you might find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.” ~ Joseph Campbell from The Power of Myth
Are you taking the time to create this sacred time? (Please say, “YES!”) If not, and if the reason you give why you’re not is that you’re too busy, know that saying you’re too busy to check in with your highest Self is kinda like saying you’re too busy driving to stop for gas.
That’s just not smart and *definitely* not gonna help you live a life of meaning and bliss!
