When you’re working on a dream, at some point in time a transition takes place. And the transition is what you have become in pursuit of the dream.
Even if you don’t get the dream you become such a strong and powerful person that it changes your life. You start looking at something else and say, well I think I’ll go do this then. You’ve now developed yourself in such confidence and such competence to deal in the arena of life hat you can move into another area and not miss. Once you begin to discover who you are then you really realize how you have been given authority and dominion over everything on the face of the earth including all the dimensions of your life.
You can only win through the struggle of life.
Most people avoid the struggle, most people go through life avoiding pain. When you go through life like that, something in you dies. Something in you that you never activates is lying dormant in there. You never get a chance to call on because you have not challenged yourself.
The land of familiarity belongs to the dead. Most people like to feel like they’re king in the area of their comfort zone. They only want to do those things that they know how to do well. Unless you attempt to do something beyond that which you’ve already mastered you will never grow.
If you want to begin to grow you’ve got to put something out here that you can’t reach easily. That makes you stretch, makes you jump for it and makes you get back a little bit and dig in so that you can take a leap for it. Maybe when you jump up there you miss it and you skin your knees. You come back again and you bust your lip next time but you keep on and through that process you learn how to leap higher.
Start challenging yourself to dig deeper and then you discover some things about you that you don’t know. Some talents that you have in you that you didn’t know. If you want to begin and make stuff happen for you, it’s very important that you start trusting yourself. Listen to yourself, listen to that still small voice within you.
Don’t try and make everything logical. There are some things about life that defies logic, that you just can’t explain how the outcome is going to be. Once you begin to trust yourself and your ideas and your instincts life takes on a whole new meaning.
Don’t give your power away, you don’t need anybody to approve your dream. Your dream is given to you and if they can’t see it, it’s because it wasn’t given to them. It was given to you – hold it, nourish it, cultivate it, work on. It’s yours, it’s your baby. Work on it until it comes into fruition.
Treat people like you want to be treated. Don’t try and take any shortcuts, don’t try and cheat. Pay your dues up front – what goes around comes around. You can pay now or you will pay double later. Do the right thing. There might be a tendency sometimes because of the negative part of our consciousness and our own programming. Don’t think it won’t matter, nobody would know. It’s better to lose out on your dream doing the right thing than to cheat, trying to make a shortcut to get to your goal. You want to be able to look yourself in the mirror. J
The world judges a man not by what he does but by what he doesn’t have to do. It judges the true quality of a man
It is what you do when nobody’s looking. There’s some good out there for you in the universe that has your name on it and nobody can get your good. They can’t take your stuff, it’s your stuff. When you know that whatever you’re seeking is also seeking you – you don’t worry. You don’t run scared thinking that somebody’s going to take it from you. You listen to your inner voice and you always take the high road. There will be the tendency, the natural inclination to take the low road but you must resist.
If you want to make it today, keep your agreements. Keep your agreements that you make and establish a network of people who will also do that. Establish a network of people in your life that you can count on. The ones who will be there for you when you need them and you be there for them.
