I’m thinking either this weekend or early next week I’ll resume the daily video podcast www.PoliticalNewsTime.com – I took a break from the project due to the threat of Hurricane Dorian (fortunately my location wasn’t effected).
Though it’s been well over a week since the threat of the hurricane, I’ve taken some time to re-think how I want to live my life for the next few years – and have reached some conclusions (which in turn have led me to make a plan which I’m currently in the execution phase of).
Though over the years I’ve made some connections on social media which I’m grateful to have had, I’ve decided that it’s time to completely sever ties socially with individuals who are linked to, support, communicate with and/or who promote areas of the entertainment industry which have brought severely toxic energies into my life. I’m not judging the individuals who are connected to energies that aren’t compatible with the type of person I’ve developed into – however at this stage in my life I’m no longer out to save the world or impose my will upon others.
I feel my audience has grown so large that it’s hindered, rather than helped my personal, professional and spiritual development – so if anything I’m hoping that those who’ve followed me for whatever reason over the years move on to becoming acquainted with other interesting individuals who are actively seeking to grow their audience, social media presence and who are seeking attention.
I’m no longer in the mode of requiring attention, validation or love. Today I feel more grounded and complete than I ever have in the past and I truly love (and respect) myself.
Today every action I take as an educator and artist, is simply because it makes ME feel good. I believe I’ve finally outgrown being a “people pleaser” (which is the only reason I found myself in entertainment to begin with).
It’s funny, because as a child I was constantly saying “look at me, look at me!” – but now as a solid adult, I’m saying “Nothing to see here folks, keep moving right along…”
