the foundation to whatever is you

There isn’t anything you need to learn, acquire, get into your life, stumble upon or get past, in order to reach your goal.

You need to embody it.

I took a look if I could find a quote, I think it is from Zig Ziglar – someone I do not know anything about other than that I frequently run into their (20th century?) legacy in the form of quotes.

I remember one of the quotes being about 3 areas of life:
To be.
To have.
And to do.
But instead of Zig Ziglar the Google search brought me to an incredibly complicated (to the point of frightening) concept of:
“Auxiliary verbs”
Verbs which apparently were be, do and have.

It reminded me of why English class always made me feel my English was somewhere between poor and rudimentary.
I can only imagine how the kids who had not grown up bilingual must have felt.

However, this does unexpectedly prove my exact point in the matter!
Because auxiliary verbs?
They don’t actually do anything.

I do remember when to use have, and I HAVE USED it daily.
Or is it AM USING it daily?
Either way it’s not the simple past tense of “I used it daily”
because then it means I no longer use it.

What I also do every day is find errors like this in my writing.
In particular on Substack, where the whole post is sent out to readers.
Not just a link.
Whereas my regular blogs and posts on Instagram are very forgiving, because I can still adjust the text and the post-with-errors is not still visible in people’s Inbox.

However!
Does it matter?

Is the quality of my writing defined by my ability to correct every auxiliary verb before I post?
No.

It’s in the person I am, the ideas I have, and in the relentless drive that pushes me to my computer every day.

Just looked up Zig Ziglar.
The Be, Do, Have philosophy is indeed his core message.

You have to BE the right kind of person first.
Then DO the right things.
And then you will HAVE what you want.

BE. Do. Have.
And in that very specific order.

Wednesday 14th is your springboard

And not because it’s Valentine’s Day, although that is certainly a memorable coincidence.

But it is Ash Wednesday, the start of the Catholic Lenten Season, a period covering 6.5 weeks, ending with Easter.

If you are not a practicing Catholic, you can still use this for fasting from sugar or alcohol, or assign it as the start of something that is meaningful for you.

From practicing an instrument, learning a new skill, or, which is my personal favorite;
Using it as a springboard for a whole new lifestyle.
A new era.

—

The only time I consciously started Lent, to a degree I have not managed to “achieve” since, was in 2007 when I used it as a springboard to reinvent my whole style of intimate relationships.

This was not a 6 week quest, rather it was the start of a path I did not know how long it would be, nor where it would lead.
It is a path I am still on, but only because I have been extending my stay here.

I’ve known the gist of who I am in intimate relationships since 2015, when in hindsight, my transformation was completed.
But it was not until January this year, that I have understood its weight.
Understood it will continue to need reaffirming, and needs to be handled with care.

17 years after I started that quest, and still the result is not something that will automatically drop into place, or can be taken for granted.
However, with this last month of a deeper understanding, that quest has indeed come to an end.

This year I am using Lent as a springboard for an even bigger quest;
My desire to live an 80s lifestyle.

Starting with limiting my interactive online time to the absolute bare minimum, which is to share my professional and creative work, and to sustain and develop relationships which cannot take another, real-life form.

But to stop using internet, including social media and news sites, as a pacifier.

I want to live in the late 80s, I want that slow, peaceful mindset.
Get bored sometimes, although I cannot remember ever being bored in the 20th century.
But a girl can dream.

Living offline, growing your career, going without sugar or alcohol;
What springboard is Lent going to be for you, this year?

THE ROCK STAR

.
THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session, for those who know there is no other path, but the one straight through it. 

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

To book, email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com

Terms and conditions at:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/terms-conditions/

Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.

It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.

If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, my suggestion will be to sort your story into:

1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.

2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?

3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
Like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.

Because all three points are just a suggestion, they offer a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.

I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.

It is up for you to take it.

hold the course (you know this)

It’s advice given by many different teachers, using many different metaphors, but what it usually doesn’t say is WHY, you should hold the course.

The reason is, that doubting the course almost without exception, means you’re doubting the destination.

Never doubt your goal.
“And out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made.”
(Michael Bernard Beckwith)

Today is one of the harder days for me to write. I live in the Netherlands, and we celebrate two days of Christmas, two and a half if you count Christmas Eve, so I have not been posting the past couple of days.
Not because I am principally against working through the holidays, but simply because there was no time, and because there was an incident where I live, which caused my most stressful night of the year.

So for better or for worse, I did not show up online this Christmas.
A questionable decision, in my case. And I would say in the case of every soul inspired entrepreneur or artist.
But why?

SHOULD, we show up for our audience or for our art every day?
Is it necessary for our survival to do so?
Are we slaves to the kick of being visible, or to selling, are we ruled by work?
No.

But what does happen, is that our goals are so ingrained with our moves, with our everyday showing up at our desk, in our studio, or work space;
That if we don’t do it, we lose touch with them.
Which in our case means we lose touch with our very soul.

So show up daily, hold the course by simply doing whatever it is you do.
And a way will be made.
