How to find ‘your thing’ – your niche, your topic, your power

Although there are many ways to do this, I’m sure, this has worked for me. I’ve been blogging since forever. Before blogging was a thing I wrote my thoughts on a website, and before that, I wrote diaries hoping that one day I’d be able to share my thoughts with the world. The trouble was… Nobody was interested.

That is not their fault, obviously, we could go on all day blaming others for not having the good sense of loving everything we do, say or, indeed write about, but it is our fault for not making it interesting. Or, should I say, as I later discovered; stuff that is in your brain can be so clear and so uninteresting to you that you don’t even think about writing it down or acting on it, you simply shove it down into the storage boxes of your head and don’t give it a second thought. It comes easy to you.

Have you ever noticed how people tell talented people: “You make it look so easy.” The reason why it looks so easy, is because to them it IS easy. It is like breathing. THIS is the thing you must discover about your strengths. What is it that you do so easily that you don’t even think about it, but what others struggle with? To me, it was always understanding people. There is no mystery to people with me, one look and I know what they’re like, more or less. And I thought it was just as easy with everyone else. But what I didn’t know is that if I had given it a bit more thought, and practised this natural ability of mine, that I could discover everything that I now write about on this blog, and heaps more stuff that I haven’t had the time to write down yet! I have more material than I know what to do with, and that is thanks to one decision… I asked for help. (Shocking, I know.)

But I didn’t ask from my blog readers. Or, in fact, I did, but that didn’t result to much. They didn’t know what I knew, so a stab in the dark wouldn’t have made much sense to them to ask…. “Do you know anything about raising bees? Could you write about raising bees?” “Eh, no. Sorry. Don’t know anything about raising bees, but I might delve into the psychology of the relationship between the bees and the bee keeper instead?” See what I mean? To some, practical things are easy as anything, but every time I do the dishes, I have to focus, readjust my energies, build myself to do it… I remember once awakening from my thoughts after a family dinner to the realisation that my prospective sister-in-law had already cleared the table with my mother before I had even realised the dinner was over. She made it look so effortless that to me it looked like a fairy had just flown over the table and made it clear itself. Certainly that couldn’t have done by a mere mortal! My brother once remarked about the same thing, how he could not understand how easily she kept the house spotless, like a true domestic goddess. I could easily now move onto the abilities of the mother of his child and her natural talents, but I will leave that to another time. 🙂

I don’t know how many of you do this, but I think a lot of you do, we don’t get anywhere with what we want to do, so we start looking for something else to do, something that others make look so easy. “You can make a lot of money by blogging” you’ve heard, and you decide to start blogging without any idea on web coding or writing or what “niche” means. So you have to teach yourself stuff that others have learned for 15 years and think you can beat them at their own game. Granted, some will and they are the people who don’t really want to or need to. We make ourselves try harder, because we notice the thing we want to do is not working for us… But a lot of times, we are already trying too hard to make the thing we want to work, work.

This is what I did to tap into my Fast Lane, my Ease, my Flow: I asked for help from my spirit guides. Now, I must warn, it wasn’t always a fun ride, and I ended up a) screaming at invisible people for them to fuck off, and… Yeah, I think a is enough of a warning, but it was very good for me. What happened was that they asked me questions. First, they rummaged through my brain like it was a thrift store of unused items that they either threw away “oh that’s junk, get rid of that!” (mostly the stuff we put in our personal thrift shop on a pedestal: “I think this might sell” and then they found something interesting, like dusty note books and diaries stored in my head… Sat down and went: “Excuse me… Could you explain this for me please?” I am almost certain in your head there is something that you have cast aside being worthless that others would just scream to get their hands on; but often in an unfinished form. Half-finished sketches, half-written songs, half-thought out theories… Invite a bunch of shoppers into your head and see what they’ll find.

And how? I am reluctant to give you specifics on this, because everyone will find their own natural way to do this, I chose the pendulum (I was guided/drawn to it), followed by automatic writing and then I became clairauditive. (It’s like a clairvoyant, but instead of seeing, they hear things.) I use Tarot cards a lot, but I also just feel my way into it. What is important is that you invite people to help you help them, like a prayer, silently in your head – sometimes they come in the physical form to ask you to do something for them.

In the mean time while waiting for your troops; ease up. Do what you do best. Do what comes natural. It’s an old clishé, but it is so true.

I’m making this post public, because everyone who needs to read this is broke, so, there you go, this one’s on the house. 😉
