You Don't

You don't need to be present in a church or subscribe to religion to be connected to more 

You don't need to be receiving a pay check or income from an physical organisation or other individual to be working or to have purpose 

You don't need to be an enrolled Dancer in a studio, team and culture to be a Dancer 

You don't need to have paid mentors, because some mentor has a paid mentor and has told you not to use your intuition and to just be inspired. 

You don't need to be in a meditative state or do psychedelics to see more than this plane. 

You don't need to follow trends when your God and your intuition is leading you to set one. 

You don't need to be seen or validated by others in order to be great. 

Greatness lies within... 

And that's where the real challenge is. 

Is your greatness self serving, inflating and servicing? 

Or is it a vessel to help others understand theirs. 

Who do you do you for? 

Can you be quiet, listen and be directed in your most quiet, darkest and blind state. 

Close your eyes and listen.
