find your North Star

Like the Cheshire Cat said to Alice:
“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”

But it’s not just about where you go, but also how, you go.

What guiding principle have you chosen?

—

I have a stack of old collectable cards here on my desk, all famous people from the first half of the 20th century. I bought them ten days ago, at a shop called Erix Collectables in Waalre, The Netherlands.
At a bargain price because Eric had ultimately decided this collection will not be part of his core business, and that they should be priced accessibly.

Erix Collectables in Waalre, The Netherlands: Sorted collectable cards for € 2 a pack. The stack on the right is Famous People, from Brooke Bond tea (1969)

Making the box of assorted cards a true gem for anyone curious, wanting
to be surprised!
Anyone who loves nostalgia, and being a part of history.

The idea that these cards have been going through the hands of dozens of people, for decades, is absolutely irresistible to me.

I bought three of them:
Famous People, Brooke Bond Tea (1969)
Red Riding Hood by Victoria Biscuits (complete set, est 1910)
Submarines from Chocolat l’Aiglon (1940)

But perhaps it was telling, for my relationship to this store and why I was there, that the cards appealed to me so much.
Because I do not consider myself the right or target audience for the store.

Erix Collectables specializes in vintage Lego- and Playmobil sets, Fischertechnik, action figures and vintage computers and rarities.

It’s tempting to say I was “tagging along”, because I was there with a friend who fits the niche of the shop perfectly.
My friend can recognize a € 160 euro computer game and can tell me why it is so expensive in a heartbeat.
Which was because it was the very first game brought about by famous movie producers, and it would later spin into a whole gaming franchise, where this first game was then included in one of the later editions.
As sort of a gadget, a game in a game.

So I can’t remember what the name of the game was but let’s say the name of this illustrious game was Trading Card (TC for fans!) then TC IX would have a level where you would encounter the original TC and play it.
A game within a game.

And a game within a box waiting at Erix Collectables for those who obviously have at least some knowledge about computer games.
Because I probably just gave the worst description of a video game since 1969.

So anyway, it is tempting to say I was tagging along, and not really the right audience for the shop, but this is not true because
A. I found the shop first, and was the one who introduced my friend
And
B. I absolutely love it there.

I usually go heavily over budget and come home with the weirdest things, and a singing heart!
I also buy a lot of cds there, typically.

Anyway, what I want to point out is that Erix Collectables, despite having a collection of rare trading cards, decided they were not his core business.
He has guiding principles, and this is one of them.
Which once the decision was made, must have made it relatively easy for him to let go of this collection in the form of packaging them as an impulse purchase near the exit.

Eric also has other principles of course:
To take really good care of things (hence the carefully crafted and packaged stacks) and to make the shop as attractive as possible in particular for the people outside of the target audience.
To have plenty of things on sale that do not require decades of inside knowledge and that come at a Hell Yes price!

Partners, children, friends of clients, and also for the people of the village, who can just walk into the shop without having a clear expectation;
He tries to have something there for everybody. 

He has a North Star;
He knows what he wants.
And then everything else can fall in line with that.

So instead of fussing over what you should be selling, or how to run your business, how to get your work in front of people and what your end game is;
Shift your perspective.
Take it up a notch and wonder;

What is the core, of what I want to be known for?

And then afterwards, everything else can fall in line with that.

Because as fun as surprise customers are, who come to your shop to be surprised and entertained, and who can’t wait to fearlessly jump down your rabbit hole;
It really works even better if you know what your € 160 game is!

If you know what the beacons are in your Wonderland, and you are the person holding the map;
Knowing how to navigate.

And how to get “there”.

hold the peace | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 05

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

hold the peace

When France was on the verge of being invaded, Anais Nin lived in a houseboat on the river Seine.
Weeks in which she committed to finishing her project of painting and fixing the boat.

Knowing, it seemed silly in light of the adversity ahead.

But it kept her from despair.

—

“Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.”
That is how I learned the phrase in the 80s. 

But there are actually two origin stories to this quote, and both are slightly different to that one.

“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”
Misattributed, to George Carlin.
He never said that, but internet thinks he did.
There are entire pages dedicated to all the quotes falsely attributed to him.

And a sign in an Vietnam War protest in 1969:
“Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity.”
There is a photo from this one, shared on History in Pics, so we can assume this one is real.

Now there are few topics studied as intensely as the relationship between war, peace, politics or governing systems.
A conversation to which I will have nothing to contribute to, obviously.

But I do want to add an alternative quote which I found on researching the above one.
Words derived from a Roman record:

“Si vis pacem, para bellum”

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Fearing the price you have to pay for invading and taking over another country, seems just as essential to me as having a justice system in place.
Fear for the consequences may stop a villain in their tracks.

So I do not want to “dumb this discussion down” to pure pacifism.

As a final thought, before we go back to holding the peace, I want to add a famous story about a big venomous snake, taken from the Indian storybook “Tales and Parables of Sri Ramakrishna”.

It is the story about a snake going on the spiritual path, but getting in huge trouble because he was no longer fending for himself.
He was at the mercy of all who wanted to harm him.
And as sort of a ps he was also eating the wrong diet for his intestines, because he turned veganist.
Again, a difficult topic, because who is to say what the human intestines are made for?
But just putting it here, for your consideration.
Self-harm in the form of malnutrition, is also harm. If you want to live a peaceful life you must also consider giving your body what it needs. Veganism for humans too, should come from understanding or believing it is the best thing for your body. It should be an informed choice, not just a spiritual choice from not wanting to harm because then you are not counting harm to your own body.

But I digress!

Either way, so the snake was in poor condition when the sage who had given him his initiation, visited him again.
And the advice the sage gave him, was to stand up for himself:
“I never told you not to hiss!” he said to the snake.
A variation to the Roman saying, to prepare for war.

So obviously when I say “Hold the peace” I do not mean to not fend for yourself, to not prepare for war when you think that is what is required, and I certainly am not telling you not to hiss, when needed.
Taking care of yourself, and learning to stand your ground in this world, is a spiritual practice.

But what “Hold the peace” means for me, and in the light of this blogpost, is to not give your peace away.
Ground yourself in practices of beauty, like Anais Nin renovating her houseboat on the river Seine.
And do not give up peace in order to “achieve” the things in life you find important.

Because what good are our accomplishments, if we have given up our peace in order to achieve them?

If we have given up the peace in ourselves, and are now in panic, in anxiety, in anger?
How can whatever we achieve have been worth that terrible loss?

At the end of her life Anais Nin started giving lectures, and in one of them she looked back at the first years of the war, when she was still in Paris.
Before she would migrate to the United States.

Looking back, what did she learn?
What would she like to tell the audience about the origins of war, now that decades had passed?

“If each one of us took very seriously the fact that every little act, every little word we utter, every injury we do to another human being is really what is projected into larger issues (…)
Then each one of us would do the work of creating a human self that wouldn’t go to war.”

Anais Nin, University of Michigan, winter 1974

Because you really can’t fight for peace, any more than you can fuck for virginity.

But should you desire to do so?
Yes, you can HOLD your virginity.
You can protect the integrity of your body, you can revere its purity.
You can acknowledge and celebrate your virgin state.
Hiss defending it.
Prepare to fight for it.

And in the same manner you can HOLD, the peace.
Even when the enemy is on the doorstep, you can choose beauty.

Anais Nin called it;
“A refusal to despair.”

no backdoor access | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 04

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

no backdoor access

Am I making an anal sex joke?
Clearly, yes!
Oh come on, if Disney is having them in the latest Deadpool, it can no longer be considered a stretch for the Rock Stars of the world. 

But am I serious in a metaphorical sense about guarding your boundaries?

You bet.

—

My professional fascination with the concept Rock Star started in 2019 already, but like a Matryoshka doll there is always another layer to be found.
A new discovery where I think:
“This is so interesting! Antagonist and rebellious to the bone!”

The principles of what make a Rock Star a Rock Star are not an accident, although it may seem that way because of their unregulated nature.
And sometimes Rock Stars themselves are too busy fighting their own demons, trying to drown them in substance abuse, and their responses way too reactive to be considered as being based on such a lofty thing as policies, but trust me;
They are rooted in a solid foundation.

Few things about them fall into the chance category, yet they’re also not by design. Rock Stars do not go around with a notepad aligning every aspect of their plan to conquer the world in a Rock Star way.
Far from it!

The reason I say it is nor chance, nor luck, nor design behind what makes a Rock Star a Rock Star, is because it is a direct consequence of who they are.
And who they are is vastly different than others, resulting in a way they do things in stark contrast to the rest of us.

Including a set of boundaries, that will bounce off any intruders and have them run for the hills.
And all this, sporting a casual “don’t know which way is up” style.
We don’t see a Rock Star trying. There is no effort involved.

If you ARE your principles, you don’t need to write them out, explain them or think about them.

So No, there is no backdoor entrance to being in a Rock Star’s life.

Whether they are literally world famous and have people guarding their gated property and screening everyone who enters, or whether they are living hand to mouth;
Everyone in their lives is there for one reason only-
because the Rock Star wants them there.
End of story.

So there you go.

As long as you’re still trying, thinking, or questioning things that a Rock Star would deflect or say Yes to like that?!
You’re either not a Rock Star.

Or you have lost yourself, and it is time.

Time, to become the Rock Star you were born to be.

the vision of being by doing | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 03

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

the vision of being by doing

That is the right order.
You first have the vision, then you become the person in the vision, and then you start doing what the person in the vision is doing.

Many methods work the other way around and start with the doing, assuming the sequence will be created, in reverse.

Never worked for me.

—

The trickiest thing is the fact that the people who have accomplished something are hardly ever able to identify what got them there. Yet, in their excitement about their accomplishment and their eagerness to share, they will often create a system that reflects the journey there, and the reality of where they are now.

Here is a new lineage.
An X step process.
A new school of thought.
Here is a course where I will teach you all about it.

And it is also related to the idea of changing your habits, which then change your lifestyle because you have to in order to fit that new stuff in;
Which then in turn changes your identity.

You have “become” a runner, because you run three times a week.
You now identify as an artist, because you dedicate one day a week to painting.
A writer because you blog daily.

Sounds solid, but in my case?
It has never, worked like that.

I have been writing consistently for fifteen years, as I also write under another name since 2006.
But I do not identify as a writer.
I’ve learned to live with it, is how I would call it.
Like Eddie in Venom learns to live with the extraterrestrial inside of him. He shares his body and personality, and that’s just the way it is.

But Eddie did not practice being an extraterrestrial every day, and then one day the transformation was complete and he was now Venom.
Eddie didn’t have a say in this.

And it’s the same with us; We don’t really have a choice in who we become.

I’m just gonna say it out loud;
Not buying the whole identity by doing (usually some habit) thing! 

And even if research shows otherwise?
I will give you otherwise!

Otherwise is;
I am 52 years old, and in my personal life, and in the people I have known, I have never seen doing amounting to anything but mediocre.
To mundane.
To okay-ish.

But I have not seen anybody RISE to anything!

Which totally makes sense, because you do not BECOME VENOM LEVEL ANYTHING, from doing!

You become it from being possessed.

So how are we possessed? When do we know that this extra-terrestial being has nested itself into us? Either, we get a vision. Or we suddenly start doing something, that we have never been doing before.

Slash, the guitarist from Guns N’ Roses, used to be a kid-mountainbiker. He spent every waking minute learning new tricks on his bike, and riding the (if I recall) Hollywood Hills.
Until the day he started playing guitar, and cold turkey broke with his bike riding.
And the rest is history.

I don’t know if Slash started with a vision of wanting to become a guitar playing, or if he had a taste of it, and liked it.
But it was a full transformation.
The guitar Venom was inside of him.

In the same way I started writing in 2006. I just did. 
Before I realized I was going through an irreversible process, Writing Venom had taken over.

But I have also had the milder version, the one where you feel more control, and that is in a way more gratifying because you get more time to let the idea float for a bit. And ripen.
You get time to make the idea your own, and the satisfaction of consciously taking the steps to move towards your vision.

And this was when Madonna had picked up doing yoga and when her album Ray of Light came out in 1998, she spoke about that in many interviews.
And her body looked totally different than from her Evita time.
She had become a mother in between, but her body had become that of an athlete.

And the idea and the vision of me starting yoga myself, was born.

And once I was on the path, I started doing yoga even before my first yoga class. I used the stretches after my running to explore my body in a new way.
And after I had found a class, I would make notes from the exercises we had done, and created my own yoga ringbinder.

The vision had come first. Then I had accepted it to the degree of seeing myself as a practitioner. And after that I started doing.

And I wasn’t really aware about how strict this all had been. And how adamant I am that this is the only correct and wholesome way.
Until this year, I spent hundreds of euros on studying menopause including buying three online courses.

And ending up hating all of them.
One immediately, where I got my money back.
This was one solely on pelvic floor issues, and I hated it with a vengeance. I thought it was so ugly, so compartmentalized. And I knew I was an ungrateful bitch, but at that moment I  really thought that even if I had been incontinent and unable to have sex, I would have preferred that over having to engage in this approach that did nothing but suck the last juices out of you.

Boring topic, I really don’t know why I brought it up. I should have stayed with Slash’s guitar and Madonna’s yoga!
But suffice to say that the other two courses were ultimately also a waste of my money and I have three books here in the shelves.
Confident, neither one will ever get read.

Do you know why?

Because the result will ALWAYS be something acquired, learned, mediocre, boring, compartmental, and loveless.

The courses and the books on menopause ARE, those systems these people came up with, at the end of their journey.
The ones I warned against, in the first paragraph.

These doctors and therapists, are trying to put into words something that consumed them. Something that LIVED them.

Menopause was their guitar, it was their yoga, it was their VENOM!
They were taken over by that field of interest, and now they are communicating facts and exercises, and things we can do, but that is not how this works!

That is, in my opinion, not how anything works.

So stop wasting your time, with anything that is not your VENOM. Anything that does not take over your life as an activity that you can’t put down, or as some idea, some thought, that you just can’t let go of.

Something that deeply fascinates you, and that you know you will never grow tired of.

And embrace, your VENOM.

your soul always speaks | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 02

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

your soul always speaks

Your true voice can always be heard
Behind a veil of harsh opinions 
Self-doubt, impatience, arrogance or banter.

Its message is always the same, just that its fragility makes it easy too ignore.

Perhaps, too easy.

—

One of the oldest original children’s books we have in the Netherlands, features a shell that can speak. Multiple decades before digital navigation, this shell already told you how you needed to drive.
And contrary to everything that came after it, it even knew the smallest most obscure pathways.

It always pointed correctly, but because it was so unorthodox in its recommendations, it would frequently end up in an argument with its user. Or the user would get angry with the shell, and then the shell stayed silent.
It took things very personal, and you never knew if and when the shell had forgiven you and would start speaking again.

But you can bet it was never silent because it didn’t know the way;
Just that it refused to help if their contribution was not appreciated and what they said was questioned.

In the same way the message your soul speaks is available to you day after day. Maybe your soul is like the shell, and shuts down when it’s not being listened to.
Or when its advice is deemed too unorthodox to be correct.

But more likely, it isn’t that, what’s silencing the voice.

Just that your let’s say “worldly” thoughts, the ones you’re more comfortable expressing because they seem more logical and more on point, or because they are sexier or more badass – 
That they, are louder, more appealing, easier to choose and to feel good about yourself for having done the right thing.
But have you, really?

The things that are pure are not impressive or strong, nor things to parade around or to impress whomever it is whose respect you hope to win.

The voice of your soul is a soft one.
It does not command, and there are no bells and whistles to it.

But it is always correct in its directions.

And just like the shell it doesn’t waste time arguing.

After the shell had come out of hiding, to intervene at a crucial point in the journey where the protagonist would not have been able to find the road without help, the boy asked the shell why it had stayed in hiding before.
“Were you angry with me?” he asked.
The shell was quiet for a moment. Then it answered:
“Maybe I was sleeping.”

Terms and conditions at:

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.

clear the road | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 01

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

clear the road

It’s not the big things you trip over;
It’s the small stuff you allowed, without realizing it could undermine everything.

Excellence means the ruthless removal of all, that is not.

—

Recently, and I mean less than a week ago, I discovered the oddest thing in my relationship style.
Because although I have had a close to lifelong awareness that my love relationships have been excellent, compared to how I have seen other people struggle with it, all the drama seemed to have moved to a different area of life;
My friendships!

Where I know very few people who ever had breakups with friends, and in my circle of friends even fewer, I have had many.
And just like people who have difficulty with love relationships can ultimately, one day, only come to one conclusion, so did I!
The common denominator was of course, me. 

My friends were not to blame because their rep sheets had been a hell of a lot better than mine. Whereas my friendship rampage would continue without them.

Not like crazy drama queen rampage, though.
My friendship breakups have occurred at the same sparse, erratic pace regular breakups do.
And just like with those, I had been sensing something was off for a while.
Yet the breakup itself always came as a very unhappy surprise, and a shock even. Because I had been deluding myself for so long, I was now confronted with both a friend walking out, as well as having deluded and betrayed myself for years.

I had ignored the gut feeling something had been wrong, and thought if I would just try harder, it would go away.
And then it didn’t.

My friendly-not-so-friendly breakups also shared the messy dynamics, that a breakup between partners usually has. As in that there was never one person guilty.
There were “it’s not you is me moments”.
And other insincerity.

But judging from the relief I felt afterwards, I conclude that regardless of how it went down, I had had a say in it.
A big one.

And this summer, after more than a week of sleeping poorly, fussing over a friendship that was showing tear, I decided to take the bull by the horns.
And address my friends.

Or the majority, because I only wanted to send the letter to friends with whom I had no other ties.
If they wanted to end it based on what I wrote them, there would be no practical consequences and they could walk out without ever having to see me again.

The goal of the letter was not to keep them all in my life, but to make it a controlled breakup.
Because a life of messy friendship breakups had taught me that if I waited the friendship would ultimately blow up, with blood everywhere.

That had been the biggest difference between me and other people:
Where they had their emotionally messy breakups in love relationships, I had had them with friendships.

I learned how to control love relationships ages ago. By now my heart will never be broken in a massively disrupting way, ever again.

But friendships?
I have got decades of explosions.
Like I said! Nothing maniacal! 
And they are irregular, ranging from every year and the longest I have gone without a friend breakup is 8 years.
Exactly the type of pattern I expect breakups in love relationships would have for others.

So, I wrote them letters and ever since then I have been on and off, wrestling my own thoughts. Wondering, how I had ever dared to do this? Risking my whole circle of friends.
And at the same time coaching myself through it, that this was the right thing to do.
That I had to first set everybody free, in order to prevent more ugly breakups.
I needed the choice to be my friend, to be a new one.

A choice, with the understanding that I would only be doing the things I knew I was good at, and that had a proven record of resulting in great relationships.
I would no longer be doing things, I knew I was bad at.
Because they had proven to be at the root of all evil.

Catering to parts of a friendship I totally suck at, had proven to be a huge liability.

I do it because it’s normal. Because I think it is expected. Because I think the other person will think I don’t love them if I don’t. And so on and so forth.

When in my best friendships?
I don’t do ANY of that!!

I could map out a list of things, that if I am doing them in a friendship?
They go straight to the breakup nominee list.
I tell myself I am being a good friend, but in reality I am digging a hole in the ground to bury it.
A trap, for the friendship to fall into, and that I can say I didn’t have anything to do with it.

In these long days of waiting, I have come to understand, that you should never be doing what is not your zone of genius.
Not unless you want to give yourself an easy ticket out, without having to take responsibility for it.

If I let someone reject me on things I hate doing, that could be a tactic of course.

Yet if you decide to only focus on what it is you are really good at?
Whether that is within your work, your friendships style, whether it is your hobby, whether it is how you relate to your family;
If you stick to what you know you are really great at?

You will be bringing the best, and be giving the real you. In integrity, and fully authentic.
Which will feel great, I can tell you that.

But the real reason why you should refrain with all your might, to do things you do not want to do, is that those are the things you can also trip over.
And are even at bigger risk, to trip over.

When you’re doing things you do not want and you trip, you end up face down on the road!
Not wanting to get up.
Just like I didn’t fight for those friendships, and was happy they had ended.
I just stayed down until the other person had left.

Make sure they’re 100% authentic and aligned, because you can trip over any insincere thing!

It’s like how in America the FBI has caught the biggest criminals through tax fraud. 
Not for murder or running a mob or a drug cartel.

Just like those American criminals, you will be tripping over the small things that you thought were the least of your worries.
In all areas of life.

The reason my love relationships have become flawless whereas my friendships, and the blowing up of them, was showing no learning curve whatsoever, is because I PAY ATTENTION to all the little things in my love relationships.
I do not leave all the itsy bitsy boundary issues, all the power struggle, consent asking but also consent requirements;
I do not leave those things up to chance in my love relationships!

I make sure that when it comes to love; Our road is clear.
If there is a possible obstacle I remove it, or suggest we take a different path.

If a relationship is like a road trip then for my love relationships I always made sure the car was in good condition. I had a playlist, snacks, the route mapped out, an app to check for alternatives if needed.
I made sure I got a good night sleep, packed for multiple weather conditions, and I arrived in good spirits, and was flexible in what the day would bring and what would be required to let it go smoothly.
I anticipated.

And regardless of how long the trip took, conversation was light and fun. Sometimes a little setback would even give a little kicker, and cracking jokes together would be a bonding experience!
As if we were in competition, who would not get floored by this.

When for my friendships, or at least the ones that proved to be at risk, we just winged it and neither one of us planned anything.
It was not two people bringing their best selves and pulling out all the stops to have a great time.

Any area of life, where you are not bringing your best and most authentic self; 
You are stepping on a road filled with blocks, hurdles and possibly explosives.

When all that time, just next to it;
The lane to being your true self, was completely free.

it will require all of you | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 07 31

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

it will require all of you

The parts that suck.
The parts that shame.
The parts that blame.
The parts that f.

Bring them.

—

In the 90s there used to be this premium gasoline, and I can’t find anything about it on Google, so I will just have to share what I remember.
But looking back I would label it an attempt to make gasoline an emotional product. Like an identity or self-care or something.
It had a strange sounding name, or it sounded strange at the time and for the times.
Lofty.
Soft.

Marketing has evolved since then but putting two and two together, I really do believe that although premium gasoline is still around, that first attempt somehow missed the mark.
That the connection between the product and the image or emotion it was supposed to evoke was fabricated and was never going to work.

And the reason it wasn’t going to work, selling a fuel as, ugh, a lifestyle product of beauty of some sort…. jeez, just typing it out gives me the creeps;
But the reason it doesn’t work, is because the purpose of gasoline is not to be beautiful.
And in fact, it will harm a hell of a lot of beautiful things, like our earth, when doing what we bought it for.

We can’t afford going around associating gasoline with beauty, because we had to actually sacrifice thinking of beauty, had to come to terms with making a toxic imprint, just to get around.
Having gasoline remind us of beauty only aggravates our guilt over this.

You see, that’s the thing with what it is you’re here to do as well.
If you’ve decided that you are here to do big things, or to do small things but do them with great care, make them your life’s work, and that those things reflect your number 1 value and are your priority? 
You’re going to break some eggs to make the omelet.

You have to make peace with the fact that resources are going to be used for this higher good, and that this is how you will give them their purpose.
What will make them “good”.
That they had the pleasure of being used in an intentional way, that, is the biggest favor you can do them.

Just like we can’t afford ourselves to think about every liter of gasoline, once we have decided we need a car in order to get around and live our lives-
in the same way we cannot afford to think of whether the things we tap into and use to do what matters to us most;
Are good, or bad, or beautiful on their own accord.

They derive their purpose from being used or brought out, for the right reasons.

And the person you need to become in order to fulfil what you have identified as your work here on earth?
That person could very well be rocking the boat!
Even Mother Theresa made choices many of us did not agree with, but I think she knew why she drew the line where she did, and why she put her policies in place.
It was required to do her life’s work.
She didn’t have the luxury to judge every individual action.

And neither do you, but there is more.
More than just coming to terms with the breaking of the omelets.

Because unlike a motor, we can never be sure which fuel our projects require. So we better bring everything we got.

If we fear away from showing ourselves in full, berate ourselves for whatever mistakes we think we made in the past that make us less deserving?
We’re not all in.
We’re filtering out what we think is bad and unacceptable about us, but what if that is exactly the premium fuel your motor is going to require?

In particular when you think how, even quicker than car motors, the world changes, and with it the skill sets that are required to live in it.
What you think of as a bad characteristic or a bad experience, may be the skill or lesson that saves you one day.
Or that saves someone else.
Or that builds a whole new community, where thousands of people will find refuge.

Don’t knock anything, and bring everything.

And do the work you came here to do, now.

yeah but you are the work | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 07 30

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

yeah but you are the work

Not the planning, not the getting ready for it.
Not the training for it or the doing it until you retire or sell the place.

You’re not the spider in the web and you’re not the team player unless it’s your team, or unless you’re the hired gun.

You don’t necessarily sleep alone, nor own the things you use on a daily basis.
But could if you wanted to and could if you needed to.

You’re not about that.

—

I have more than once assessed someone wrongly, where I could have bet my yoga mat I was talking to someone on purpose, on path, in full self-expression and on that exciting edge between what you can still do, and what will probably have you cannibalizing on resources including that of your own body.
And still you’ll do it, just to see if you can.

I’ve seen them glowing, and I have literally been on the verge of expressing my happiness for them, the words already on the tip of my tongue/
When suddenly I heard that this?
Oh, it’s all just temporary!

It was either all just a means to an end.
For money, for social interactions, or because sitting at home was driving them nuts.
Nothing fancy.
Or it was what they chose to do, but it would never define them. It was not that important.

Or, the alternative;
They told me it was all just for fun.
Pastime.
Didn’t mean anything and they would soon need to go back into the real world, because we’d all sign up to live that way if we could but we just can’t.

And then more often than not, they actually did.
Left their ways behind and focused on what they claimed really mattered. 

And the other times I lost track of them, so I don’t know if they ultimately chose to discard or walk away from what I saw as the one thing they would never get tired of.
Never get bored with.
And would always find new ways to love, to change, and to play with.

Or am I wrong, thinking to this day that we are here to let ourselves be captivated by the work we do?
That we are meant to fall for that unusual lifestyle that fits us like a glove.
Called for a reason, to serve the higher purpose that will takeover and mark everything we do.

Am I wrong?

Was I wrong to think it made their heart beat, ran through their veins and was encoded into their very DNA?

Fortunately, it doesn’t really matter.
But do me a favor, will you?
Get the answer right, when it comes to your own life.

And be absolutely hellbent about it.

your strength was given | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 07 29

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

your strength was given

They say to travel fast go alone, and to travel far go with a group.
But travel to where?
And why?

Your purpose was given in the ground under your feet.
The air in your lungs.
The vision burning in your mind.

Bright as the summer sun.

—

Strength and purpose do not come from knowing where you want to go.
Of course, I know the stories of people accomplishing their dreams, and moving from not having to having, but I do not know them well enough to vouch for the dream being the key ingredient to their accomplishment later on.

What I do know is that in general a dream, when held as a defined target, causes stress, lack of faith, and anything but wise decisions.
So much is at stake.
It’s like even having the dream is disempowering.

When the actual strength to accomplishing them, seems to come from something else.
From an understanding and an appreciation, of the day to day action you can take and right on the spot where you currently are.

It is when you fall in love with what you could call “working on the dream”, that it will give you wings.
The dream now being, to be allowed to do the actual work.

The dream itself little more than a guiding principle.
An inspirational thought, but not a reason-to.
Not a have-to-or-else.

It is the ones who have deeply embraced and gotten serious, with their daily tasks, trusting it is the commitment itself that is the reward;
It is those ones, you will recognize as being the strongest of will, of character.

In this phase there is no longer “execution”, because that implies the actions are tied to a higher purpose which was first made actionable.
When the things you do every day can still be replaced by other, more effective means, you’re not there yet.

You’re there when you have stopped looking.

And you have immersed yourself with joy, purpose and dedication in mundane, repetitive tasks and you forget any connection they have to what you may have thought your dream was;
It is then, that you are on path.

Purpose is not to chase for your dreams.
But to be so on path, you completely forgot about them.

we need you daily | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 07 28

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

we need you daily

It doesn’t have to be new content and it also doesn’t need to be the same formula every day.
Anything that can be squeezed into your social media will do.

But it needs to be something that comes straight from your soul to ours, and that pulls us in, moves us, and leaves us in awe and fascination.

Hungry for more.

—

This is one against the grain, and even against my own logic. The one that tells me “but I first have to….!” or “I can’t because!”

And I’m not even going to claim I always make the wisest choices in the area of showing up for social media presence myself, but here’s the gist of what I have come to understand, and you can HOLD me to this for the upcoming fifty years or so.

Moving 2024 and up, the Rock Star artists, independents, and people building a sustainable business that will last them the rest of their lives need to master the art of showing up daily.

We NEED to SEE you.

This is not just part of your job, that IS your job.

And then;
Walk away from the explosion.
Just like the movies.
Don’t linger.

Does a rock star invite everybody to drop their comments asking what they thought about the show?
No, I don’t think so either.
They walk out, and before the applause is over they are in a car leaving the premises.

And why?
Because a live rock show, by its very nature, is exactly right for the day and the place. 
And guess what my friend?
So is yours.

Don’t let the recording and collecting of your messages drive you nuts or leave you disheartened;
Let it fall by the wayside if you must.
Curating your messages is not your job.

Nor is reviewing them, criticizing them, judging them, or in anyway not backing this part of what it is you’re doing.

This is the new era, where our words are not collected into books that will last for generations.
Our photos are not printed into hundred dollar coffee table books, instead they are fed to AI, where they will live on forever and at the same time die in their essence.

So it is not WHAT you bring, it is the fact that you PERSONALLY, bring it. And that it comes from YOUR hand, that makes it so valuable.
It is timely, contemporary.
It is NOW.

Your work on social media is you appearing personally.
And yes, of course you also have a powerful message, but it will no longer be the message nor the specs nor the quality of your work, that will make the mark.
Not, what will make you Rock Star-unique.

It is your ability to ride the highest waves in that stormy ocean.

To be there on the frontier of the newest media, and to stand your ground.
To back yourself.
To BE, there.
Wave after wave and day after day after day.

That, is not just your job;
It is your legacy.

THE ROCK STAR

.
THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.

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.
