“Frustration is the nagging feeling that tells us we are not listening or following our intuition.” – J.R. Incer
Phase 1: Activation
I am tired of listening to people regurgitate accepted authorities and mass-approved ideas. As if they have no ideas of their own, have not formulated their own unique thoughts or cannot speak about their truth or own lived experience without citing an article, podcast, scientific study or party line trope from a circuit of knowledge that’s socially acceptable. Most speak from what will be liked, approved or expected and rarely from a raw and real place of intuition, inspiration or inner confidence that is outside the box of what only ‘experts’ are allowed to have opinions on. This frustration seems to be an unhealthy justification and distraction from going after my own dreams.
