The Goal needs to be created out of the inspiration Inside of You

As a writer I am sometimes plagued with the surmised need to attach to the outcome of my project. I was in this space when I happened on to an interview between two of my favorite authors, Wayne Dyer and Eckhart Tolle.

The question becomes, are you aware when your ego takes control of the manuscript you are working on?

It happens to all of us. One minute we are listening for the revelation that comes from our higher self, the next minute we are incorporating our experiences to control the writing.

Our sense of fulfillment comes from being rooted in a deep sense of awareness so we don’t need attachment to the outcome to define our success.  It will come by the Divine.

As Authors, we can do it the easy way or the hard way, which, clarified, means, wait on a conscious connection to divine inspiration, or leave it to the devices you can dream up through your walking, sometimes insufficient self.

In the meantime, don’t sweat it! Relax and receive.

To quote Eckhart Tolle:

“A goal needs to be created out of the inspiration inside of you.”

If we pay attention, our goal will be delivered to us by divine inspiration that comes from deep within.

It wants to come into being and you become a channel for it.

In this way there are no attachments to fame, fortune or notoriety.

There is no need to be vigilant. Source will take the necessary care to move the project along. You know you are working from ego when you become stressed out while writing. Don’t be attached to the fruit of your actions.

 Pay attention in the now, as Eckhart Tolle suggests, and the energy will come in the doing while the goal looks after itself.
