Simple Wisdom for an Enlightened Life: Open Heart Creativity
An open heart will greatly enhance your creative output and abilities. When you are creating from the heart, this is pure creation from your spirit. When creating from the mind, it is often a creation from the ego, often to mask and to cover pain. Keep your heart open to be truly creative. — Jim Larsen

The Page of Wands tarot card asks you, “Remember when you were unlimited? Remember when anything possible? Remember back before you got stuck in set patterns and things you “”have” to do? Remember when your imagination was your greatest asset and you could live in whatever pretend reality you wanted to? Remember those days?”
Today, slip back into that way of being. Explore the possibilities of the impossible. Forget boundaries. Forget limits. Forget what your brain tells you is important even though your heart knows better. Get out of your own way and have fun. Be creative. Let your inner child take the lead and see what they want to do. Go along for the ride. See what you can learn this way.
You are wondering about something, aren’t you? You suspect the truth, maybe even know it for sure, but perhaps you are holding back on accepting it. You know what? The truth is not going to change. You can sugar coat the truth all you want, you can alter you perception of it, your attitude about it, and what you tell others. But no matter what, the truth is the truth, so you might as well face it. ‘
This is one of the things the High Priestess tells us. She tells us to just face reality. So that is what you must do today. Face a truth no matter much you don’t want to, or maybe enjoy a truth as much as you can. Either way, truth cannot be altered, so face it as it is and adjust your own paradigm accordingly. – Jim Larsen

Simple Wisdom: Your emotions are your guidance system
It is completely ridiculous to fake your emotions all the time. These people who always have a fake smile on their face acting like they are happy every minute when in reality they are not, are denying themselves the opportunity to explore what their true emotions are pointing towards. Your emotions are a guidance system for your spirit. To pretend to be only happy, to fake like nothing ever bothers you is like having a compass that doesn’t have west on it.
