Joy Vibrations

"Joy Vibrations" - by Rassouli

Unfortunately, I woke up this morning freaked out because I thought it was a school day, so I forgot most of the dream I was having save for three symbols: art, tigers, and deer-like skulls. The last two seem to be references to Leon and El'azar. I just know that school was also involved... but I can't recall what was actually going on. 

I posted a reading request on SF and even spent some time in chat talking about this predicament. I pretty much received the responses I expected: to either go for it, or find some way to make the financially secure path "work" (as in tolerate it).

But there were a few snippets that stood out from the rest:

• A video that a SF member linked to me. It was an Abraham-Hicks piece that talked about "quitting your job and following your passion." A lot of good points were made here, mainly relating to vibration, which is something I obviously resonate with. 
• A video of Teal Scott's that I felt "inclined" to watch ("Happiness is the purpose of your life"). Not only did she also make very good points, but she also helped me realize something very powerful about my existence, which I'll talk about later.
• On my tumblr dash this morning: "Just believe in your dreams" and "It takes just as much energy to focus on fears, doubts, worries, and concerns as it does to believe and have faith in how good life can be." 
• A success story from a SF member who decided to drop out of college in pursuit of beauty school. Right now, she's exactly where she wants to be... and she proved all the naysayers wrong.  

I feel like it's time. Time to stop being afraid of what may happen. Time to be adventurous and take some risks. I want to be connected again. I want to be free to pave my own path - not the path that the rest of the world is being herded on. I need to be fearless. I need to do what's right for me and know in my heart that it will bring me all the abundance I require.

With that said, I don't have to drop everything. I can take a "break" from school to see how things go. Now, I'm not sure how complicated this will be in terms of loans and course credits and whatnot. I'm not sure how the policy works with my school. I guess I have some research to do. 

But somehow, I don't think all of this is a coincidence... everything is beginning to line up now, just as I begin the quarter which, once completed, will have me halfway done with school. Unfortunately, I can't really explain that to my parents. My mom might be more open to the idea, but she still is quite "realistic" in regard to sustaining oneself in life. 

Yes, it's a bit nerve-wracking. But I think it's nerve-wracking for everyone who walks a path alone. Getting my name out there may be a bit of a challenge at first. Fortunately, spirit art is what has put me out there the most. Of course, I'll have to really get good with it before I can start charging...

Yep. There's a lot of work to be done. Already, though, I'm feeling the support. I received a really good idea from out of nowhere yesterday about a type of site or community I could build. I'm not sure if such a community or site exists, but I'd like to start thinking about it on the chance that it doesn't. 

Like always, there's more to talk about, but unfortunately, I have homework to do today and I need to get my butt in gear. 

So will blab later.
