Truthfully, I’ve been feeling uninspired to write anything this week. I can’t remember a full day off and that’s the cost of high conviction. No days off, in a daze, pushing to make things work. The horizons are sometimes bright and beautiful, other times, all you see is rain and darkness on the horizon. This is where you have to step into the power of ‘law’ and the acceptance of truth, that no matter how far you trek, there is still more left on the table to be met.
As someone who is pushing for their vision to be tangible, you have to be completely nuts, a monster of self-belief. You have to accept self-help as solution, you have to be in the 🔥. You can’t feel like things aren’t going to happen, your destiny is on the horizon, the more you can push yourself beyond doubt. For as long as you can make tools at your disposal work, you must, until the tool breaks. You either, at that point, go back to Lowe’s and get another object or you’ve found a solution that supersedes your previous way.
When you’re in the lab, it’s hard to see how your chemistry shapes the world around you. The easy thing to do when you’re in the lab is pour another shot or roll another blunt, letting the time seep through your fingers. We’re faced with the catch 22 of fearing death and having that as our only guarantee in life.
If everyone was guaranteed a million dollars by doing x,y, and z, well nobody would be lazy. It’s the plain truth. It takes a special eye to see what you do and it takes a special mind to cultivate the environment that must be forged to push beyond what is possible, in the minds of others. How do we do this?
The law of conviction starts
with perpetuity. You have to eternally embrace where you are going, so much so that others see it too. It’s so undeniable that the doubt from the outside starts to diminish. The art of not giving a fuck either way is critical as well.
If I let idiot gossipers and nay-sayers ruin my soil, i’d be unable to harvest anything. I’d be diminished to the depths of 72 inches and more. If I let every moment that I felt like I didn’t belong or I couldn’t do it, somehow, I’d already be in the soil, stuffed in a box and resting in the memories of those who appreciate me.
The same goes for if I had accidentally stumbled into riches. If I was all in on bitcoin when I was ‘dabbling’ around the $15 mark, and decided to load up on 100+ coins, I’d also be 6 ft++ - but why?
The Universe Works Mysteriously, but Through Syncretism
You can only corral that which begs to be corralled. If you try and tame a beast but you’re mink, you’re going to get torn to shreds, the same way I would’ve been before.
The Universe only delivers that which you are ready for, and withdraws you from that which is either A) not ready for you or B) not serving your highest purpose.
You can do two things to solve your dissatisfaction of your current situation, either step up to your purpose and go from mink to beast and start taming the animals that are stampeding you daily or you can step back and open up room for that which is going to prepare you for the highest purpose.
There is no time horizon here. I mean there’s countless examples and case studies of individuals who have reached great success later in life, without going in-depth but providing one example, Colonel Harland Sanders.
If he gave up when he lost everything in a 1939 fire of his restaurant / motel in his late 40’s, we as a population wouldn’t know the abbreviation KFC as a household name, but when did he first franchise his secret recipe? At the ripe age of 62.
To move on, but to leave a point, the universe DOES NOT make it easy. That brings us back to the x, y, z. If it was as clear as three steps to riches, well then I couldn’t admit to you the state of our planet, we may be much better off or we may be in a mad max type of reality - the point: PUSH THROUGH ALL OBSTACLES AND STAY CENTERED IN YOUR HEART OF CONVICTION. ONLY YOU KNOW.
AM I SPECIAL?
Let’s assume for a brief breath that for whatever reason you’re attaching a divinity complex to your dreams . . . how does that feel? the superiority? the detachment?
Because that’s ultimately what it is, we cannot separate ourselves from nature - from man/wombman. We are not ‘god’s gift to earth’ - we are simply granted the gift of living on earth, accept it with grace and gratitude and find ways to contribute.
The highest yield you will have on time is service. Without going into preaching, or into organized religion, there is one simple truth in life that I’ve accepted:
I must always, to the best of my ability in any present moment, serve. Whether that be my amazing girlfriend, my wonderful friends, and my family, all of whom have room to grow / the openness to receive service from me - then I must do my absolute best in providing my truth. Even if that truth is the hardest possible thing to discuss with them in that moment, it is my duty as a servant to the life around me to be a contributor to the betterment of all.
I feel that last phrase is the best point I can leave off of, in a week where I am accepting a lot of work, doing the things nobody wants to do, why? TO BE MORE AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THOSE IN NEED.
Times are not easy, anywhere in the world. You can knock on any door and recognize an opportunity to serve someone. Do not fear earnestly extending your arm, and pulling others up. Life is full of opportunities to express grace and support, to love and be loved. What more can we ask for in a world where the darkness can quickly consume, but in this same world, we are all equipped with an eternal lantern that never exasperates, at least until our final breath, but even then, the lantern we carried will have a flame that was spread and may be immortalized, we are blessed with that gift. use it, god willing.
