In the creative life, many people confuse rigidity with purity, says author and career coach Tama Kieves. True career and life success come from being present to your own innate rhythms and desires, rather than listening to others. This empowering article is designed to move your commitment to your deepest passions and soul callings to the fore. Drawing from her own inspiring story and those of her clients, author, teacher, and career coach Tama J.
Kieves invites each of us to follow what we know to be true in our heart of hearts, despite the sometimes overwhelming presence of personal fears and societal pressures.
Or you may be in the thick of living your passion, but want to take your dream to the On one side of the door, you can decide that life has not turned out the way you desire.
We live in crackling times. Change seems to electrify the air, in our individual lives and in the world. We are living in inspired times.
While the job market and economy are always changing, there is still a path of deep security. You were born to excel in the work you love. You brain might never know. But your instincts know nothing else.
We are analytical and creative. We are sensitive and grounded. We are drawn to the light and yet have our feet on the ground, some in red Prada, others in worn Birkenstocks. Some of us have higher educations.
Some of us have learned things that no school teaches— and we could never explain. We are liaisons between worlds and ways. Sometimes, we have felt like misfits. But, really, we are mavericks. We are stepping into new territories. We are here to love like never before. We are here to honor all the intelligences within humanity. We are here to listen to our souls. We are here to walk in new ways into a new world. We are the ones who will make th e incredible, credible.
We are here to create a new mainstream of exponential possibilities. We are different. And we will make the difference to those around us. We will choose love instead of fear. We will choose to soar. Welcome dear ones.
I am grateful to share this journey into amazement with you. Or lawyer. Or marry one. No one said Mazel Tov , when I shared my love of creativity. And everyone I knew agreed. Maybe you got a similar message, too, about the impossibility of your true desires. Maybe with a different accent. And sent in a grease-stained application I thought it was futile to Harvard Law School. I was miraculously accepted.
And later, I graduated with honors and with trepidation. I flung that crimson silk cap high into the Cambridge sky on graduation day, it would land not only as a crown and a halo, but also as a ball and chain. Because though I practiced law for an elite corporate law firm and though I landed on partnership track, I did not feel successful. I was slowly beginning to realize that success only means something when you mean something to yourself. I felt empty. And I feared my own feelings.
The constant gnawing inside: There has to be something more to life than this. I had no sparkling faith or trust in myself, a Higher Intelligence, or even the cosmic tooth fairy, back then. Pain forced me to finally listen to my brilliant heart—as well as my mind.
Desperately unhappy, I took a solo vacation. I ended up staring at the waves on a beach in Northern California, sobbing, even wondering if I could take my own life. I was so tired. And I could not let myself quit. Again, my linear mind could see no successful way through this. But that day, sitting on the beach, eating a cinnamon raisin bagel, and just watching the waves, I had a simple epiphany.
Another way of understanding myself and my desires. This bagel cost 50 cents. I left the practice of law to undergo the art, practice, and baptism of listening to myself in this lifetime. I wanted to know in my lifetime: What happens if I trust my own desires instead of deny them?
