the consumption-production mindset...

Can I give you a little something real quick?

OK, boom.

We have all been brought to this Earth with a purpose to create something. Whether an artist, interior decorator, counselor, writer, singer, healer, salesperson, or spokesperson, each of us possesses a divine gift that we must discover and utilize to its fullest potential.

However, we often become entangled in the complexities of life, forgetting that our existence extends beyond mere work, sleep, and sustenance. This state of being caught in the matrix prevents us from realizing that we are meant to do more. It is important to pause and question when we plan to break free from this cycle.

Seriously, have you ever thought about this? From my personal experience, I have learned that engaging in something I truly enjoy—producing or creating with passion and a desire to share—immerses me in a state of flow. When my hands, mind, and intentions work harmoniously together, it evokes a magical sensation. Allow me to ask you a crucial question: Are you actively contributing or merely consuming what the world offers? Let me be frank with you. If you find yourself merely consuming without producing, it is likely that you experience a sense of emptiness, sadness, or even depression. Now, I may not be a therapist, but I do believe that we are placed on this Earth to contribute and provide a service in some form or another.

The key lies in discovering our purpose, patiently delving deep within ourselves, and overcoming challenges to determine what we truly desire to do, what brings us joy, and what we refuse to engage in for the sake of self-respect, time, and happiness. I consider this to be one of the most crucial steps in the journey. You must give something to receive something.

Moreover, by adopting the mindset of exploration and actively seeking what you truly want to do, you subject yourself to a series of trials that unveil the authentic you. When you are stuck in a cycle of consumption, you are essentially hiding from your true self. Consumption can take the form of love, greed, money, addiction, technology, food, and all those distractions. Let's be real here. You need to face this truth. Are you primarily producing or merely consuming? Striving for balance is essential, regardless of the world you inhabit, but it must be a balance that truly exists. Don't spend 70% of your time consuming and a mere 30% producing.

If you are reading this, it means you are meant to read it, and it shows that you yearn for more in life. So, how do you hold yourself accountable? What are you actively producing? How can you refine your process and make it more efficient? We reside in a world driven by consumption, where everyone is caught up in consuming. However, there will come a time when you need to detach yourself from distractions and focus on what you truly desire from this realm. Embrace the challenge of producing what you are meant to produce. Deep within you, the potential lies dormant, waiting to be unleashed. Stop making excuses and dig deep within yourself to unearth it.

Peace and love ya’ll.
