COME VISIT FOR A WHILE

There are a lot of things we need to go after and accomplish in this life, but there is ONE that is profoundly important.  Discovering within (finally) that we really do have some gifts and talents and the energy that comes from knowing finally – that our lives matter.

We each have something important to contribute and bring to the world, (a special gift from the heavens) but we just don’t often stay on task long enough to uncover what that great treasure amounts too – much less perfect and master it – so that we can contribute.

Most people sit on the sidelines of life and living and think to themselves that “…all the talented people in this world” — are the blessed ones.  How come I didn’t get any talent?”

When the truth is – we all get some magical talents – but we miss them because we are all wrapped up in all the “…money we can make” — and “…all the co0l stuff we can buy” and we never even get INTO THE DISCOVERY – DEVELOPMENT – AND MASTERY of our gifts.  And that is where the real satisfaction of life comes from – THE WORK THAT THE MASTERY PART REQUIRES.

Divinci said it best – IF PEOPLE KNEW HOW HARD THE MASTERY – THEY WOULD NOT THINK IT SO GREAT.

The fact that is so often over-looked is that as you master something you will be given back the gift of the gods – passion.   And true passion for whatever you are doing is the real blessing of life.   It is the great “overcoming” energy and the power to solve any problem.  Nothing I have encountered in my life has been greater than “…the passion within my own soul” for what I am doing.

In the beginning of all new efforts, there is a level of “work” that is the true challenge of anything new that we go after.  But as we become more adept at our new beginnings, we actually will find it easier and easier to accomplish as we continue to climb the mountain of success.  And once a true passion for that task shows up, then the “work part” seems like a blessing and the climbing of any project is a blessing to us – not a curse.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE REQUIRED TO PAY A PRICE – BEFORE ANY TRESURE SHOWS UP

And maybe that is as is should be – committment – dedication – effort – first — AND THEN THE REWARD.

SOMETHING INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT HAPPENS…

CARVING OUT A LIFESTYLE

From the moment you finally (and permanently) decide to do something important with your life, it seems like the entire universe aligns to support you.  If you live so that you always have an out, or another option, not much comes along to help us.  The choice, the decision and the commitment are the secret ingredient that is required of us.  It is like “we have to put in the key” and turn the lock – then things start to open up and mere potential starts to turn into opportunity.

The famous German writer talked often about this very subject.  He said it so well many years ago…

UNTIL ONE IS COMMITTED THERE IS HESITANCY,

ALWAYS A CHANCE TO DRAW BACK…

ALWAYS INEFFECTIVENESS.

CONCERNING ALL ACTS OF INITIATIVE AND CREATION,

THERE IS ONE ELEMENTARY TRUTH,

THE IGNORANCE OF WHICH KILLS MANY SPLENDID IDEAS

AND COUNTLESS PLANS:  THE MOMENT ONE COMMITS ONESELF…

PROVIDENCE BEGINS TO MOVE TOO.

AFTER THAT MOMENT ALL SORTS OF THINGS BEGIN TO OCCUR

THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER OCCURRED.

A WHOLE STREAM OF EVENTS ISSUE FROM THE DECISION…

RAISING IN ONES FAVOR ALL MANNER OF UNFORESEEN INCIDENCES

AND MEETINGS AND MATERIAL ASSISTANCE, WHICH NO ONE

COULD HAVE DREAMT WOULD COME THEIR WAY.
