Through years of dedicating myself to my dreams and putting in countless hours of work to make them a reality, I’ve come to a profound realization: the biggest block to our progression isn’t external—it’s internal. Specifically, it’s our own thinking that holds us back. For creatives, the struggle often lies in the inability to believe in oneself or the failure to connect with one’s true purpose.
In my journey, I’ve unlocked a vast reservoir of creativity. I don’t struggle with writer’s block; ideas come to me constantly—new insights, new concepts, new ways to help others. But this wasn’t always the case. The shift happened when I began to understand that the real obstacle wasn’t the quality of my ideas—it was my own self-doubt, my own disconnection from the deeper source within me.
I remember Abraham Hicks talking about a writer who mentioned that one day he just began to write and didn’t stop. She said that once he got tapped in, there was an endless stream of creativity and drive. This story actually comes from a profound conversation between Abraham Hicks and Wayne Dyer. Dyer shares how he declared that he was done writing—after 40 books, he felt he had nothing left to prove. But the very next day, he woke up with an unstoppable urge to write again. Over the next five months, he found himself writing morning, noon, and night, unable to stop the flow of inspiration.
In this conversation, Abraham Hicks explains that when we align with our true selves—our souls—there’s an endless stream of creativity that we can tap into. They describe how our “vortex” contains enough content and inspiration to keep us busy for multiple lifetimes. When we release the ego’s grip, we allow this creativity to flow through us effortlessly, just as Wayne Dyer experienced.

I always think about that. I only want to create; I don’t need a reason to do it, no motivation from the outside—I just want to bring things to life. I just want to create. And I make the connection to the Arcane School and something they mentioned. You can have a vocation that is connected to your personality’s purpose, while your creativity is connected to the soul. So understanding the personality and the soul’s astrological makeup will allow you to understand what your vocation will be and what your creativity will look like.
For me, the desire to create videos and teach concepts in a creative way is a calling from my soul. My vocation, on the other hand, is to be a mentor, teacher, and healer—a role that is deeply connected to my personality and my skills in holistic healing and psychology.
Reflecting on Abraham Hicks’ teachings, I realize that when I’m tuned into my soul, I have an endless stream of ideas. The biggest block wasn’t the value of my ideas; it was myself. I hadn’t yet gained access to the qualities of clarity and peace that come from deep soul alignment. And I believe this is true for everyone. We can develop our vocation in this world, but to transcend and truly thrive as a creative, we must connect with our soul.
The key message I want to share is this: If you are a creative, the secret to producing great work lies in releasing the grip of the personality—its need for acceptance and validation—and understanding that all creativity resides within your soul. The more space you create for your soul, the more it will bring to your life.
Many people claim that projects take a lot of time, but I wonder how much of that time is spent grappling with self-doubt. Look at someone like Stephen King, who seems to effortlessly produce book after book. His creativity comes from something higher than himself because he has made writing a natural part of who he is—he’s tapped into that endless well of inspiration.
You have to believe that your soul holds all the creativity and value you need. You can’t wait for others to confirm your worth. At some point, you have to close yourself off from the outside world and move forward without external guidance. You need a fervent desire to bring your ideas to life, knowing that they hold a deeper significance.
I think about Paulo Coelho’s journey with The Alchemist. When the book was first published in 1988, it had a modest start, selling only a few copies. Coelho faced rejection, and his original publisher dropped the book, believing it wouldn’t be successful. But Coelho didn’t give up. He believed in the message of the book and found another publisher willing to take a chance. Slowly but surely, The Alchemist began to gain traction, largely through word of mouth. Over time, it became a global phenomenon, selling millions of copies and inspiring countless readers around the world.
Coelho’s story is a powerful example of what happens when you become your soul’s greatest advocate. You have to trust that the ideas resonating with you will resonate with others, and you have to keep putting your work out into the world for people to find it.
Similarly, Sylvester Stallone’s journey with the movie Rocky is another testament to this truth. Stallone wrote the screenplay in just three days, inspired by a boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner. Despite numerous rejections from studios, Stallone refused to sell the screenplay unless he was cast as the lead. He stood firm, even though he was struggling financially at the time. Ultimately, the studio agreed to let Stallone play Rocky Balboa, but with a low budget for the film. Rocky became a massive success, winning three Academy Awards and turning Stallone into a superstar.
These stories teach us that your personality is responsible for your vocation, but your soul is responsible for your creativity. Vocation is tied to the material world—something people can identify and recognize in you. But creativity has no limits. It transcends material reality and transforms it.
So, don’t rely on your personality when judging your creative work. Your personality has no say in it. Instead, tune into your soul—that will be all the validation you need. You have to be your soul’s strongest advocate before anyone else can be. Trust that the ideas and inspirations that resonate deeply within you will also resonate with others. The key is to keep creating, keep expressing, and keep sharing your work with the world. Even if recognition doesn’t come immediately, your job is to remain committed to your soul’s vision. Eventually, the world will catch on and appreciate the unique contributions you bring to life. Your soul knows the way—your role is to follow it with unwavering faith.
