Free Your Mind And The Best Will Follow
Thus have I heard: For you to shine in this world, there has to be a refinement of the priorities that dictate your time, energy and attention.
Do people relish your company, or do they cross the street when they see you coming? Do you take delight in your own company or do you constantly seek validation from others? When was the last time you allowed yet another dream to vanish without a trace, simply because you could not stir yourself out of your lassitude to take the necessary steps towards its fulfillment? Do you even recognize the immense possibilities that await you in each priceless moment?
What does success mean to you? Suppose a genie was to grant you the kind of attainments you desire, will you be able to make the most of your good fortune, in the long-term? If, for instance, you became rich and famous overnight, would you be able to deal with all the stress, temptations and responsibilities that come with it? What if this genie also brought you in contact with your “soul mate?” Will you be able to cherish and be cherished by your partner for the longest period of time, with your present personality traits? So, what preparations have you set in place already, to make success count, whenever it comes and in whatever form?
Without the courage to act on what you know is best for you, any wealth of knowledge is worthless. Wake up from the illusion that your unrealized greatness will just manifest miraculously someday, without your living the quality of life you are genuinely capable of achieving. Isn’t an error of this magnitude worth preventing?
Know that the very things you long for, are already being enjoyed by others who faced and resolved their challenges by cultivating the necessary understanding and skills for fulfilling their dreams in equally difficult or even more adverse circumstances than what you may be facing or will ever face.
It is an ancient truth that those who risk the least, live the least. At times, risk is daunting and even dangerous, yet on many occasions it is necessary when the bigger risk is not to risk at all. And although your efforts may not always yield the desired results, there can be no triumph without skilled and audacious action. Realize that although you may crave comfort and routine, you nourish and enhance your finer qualities, primarily through challenges that unleash your ingenuity and its corresponding joy and fulfillment.
This means that your setbacks can enrich you in ways that your successes alone never can, and that is why it is essential to look for the blessing that every situation holds for you. For only then will the message in any difficulty be revealed to you – never otherwise. This is an absolute rule that admits no exception.
So, what kind of world do you imagine is ‘out there?’ Do you live in a friendly universe or a hostile one? To gain mastery over any situation, you must learn to let go of all your prejudices and opinions, while embracing and transforming, for the better, whatever life presents you with in any moment. Understand that hope is only for those who do not already live in grace. But when you live a vibrant life, you free your mind of all that is not worthy of you and in the process, magnetize yourself to all the blessings life has in store for you.
