FRIDAY THOUGHTS #71: HOW FAR CAN YOU GO?

 How far can you go?

It's a simple concept really...I know that we're put here to do amazing things and I simply want us to maximize the god-given potential that was placed in each and every one of us. Am I an extremist? Lol I guess so...however, for a cause as positive as that - I'd say being extreme is very good, if not the desired emotion to have when fulfilling your purpose. Obsession gets a bad reputation...but it's a necessary ingredient in order to accomplish anything on a grand scale.

I often ask myself how and why this relentless desire to maximize my potential was programmed into my spirit...I don't know but I'm thankful for it. I'm thankful for many things, the two most important are: being thankful that at some point in my life I began to have a realization of our inherent greatness and dynamic purpose on this earth...I'm also thankful that over the years I've learned to truly rest and trust the process of life. Disappointments don't exist. The Universe/God is dying to give us beautiful things...it's the natural order of things. The way we access those "things" is simply by getting out the our own way and allowing the natural flow of wholeness, peace, love and prosperity to flow into and through us - it's our birthright. We don't have to strive for it...we just have to stop impeding the natural flow of it through us. We begin to impede this natural "flow state" by the incorrect and diseased programming we receive from society, our parents, community, television, school system, etc. It is now our life-long job and commitment to "re-program" all of the diseased or corrupted files in our hard-drive and upload the corrected/natural files. Now, this is an exciting yet very awkward stage of the journey: you are "awake" yet lonely. 

You're lonely because the new insights you're excited to share with your family, friends, girlfriends/boyfriends, co-workers, etc. won't be received with the same level of excitement. Heck, they may even be met with disdain and disrespect - you may be shunned, misunderstood and looked upon as bonkers. You've probably already have encountered this...and you really can't blame them, we've all felt the same when a novel/strange concept was introduced. Rest assured...that's a part of the journey. If you continue to persevere, it will all make sense...the tears you've cried along the "wilderness journey" will turn into a radiant sunshine that will consistently shine on your face.  The jeers will turn into cheers...maybe not from the crowd you were used to, but from the new crowd you are now apart of: your tribe.

The goal now is to collectively encourage others to squeeze out of all the potential inside of them. That's it...that's always been it. Nothing else is as important as that...nothing.

It really used to baffle me when I would meet someone and they didn't have a burning desire to be ALL that they can be. I didn't get it...well, until I realized that it's difficult to take care of something you don't value.  Once people realize how precious they are, how magnificent they are, how capable and valuable they really are...I really believe that wanting to fulfill their purpose on as big a scale as possible will be impossible for them not to do. The obsession of knowing who you are is the ultimate motivation. It will ooze from your very existence...it is a gift.

I don't care where you are in your journey...just keep going. Keep learning and continue to realize even deeper, just how incredible, beautiful and amazing you inherently are, then continue to see how far you can go. 

P.S. You were meant to go to the moon...and take more than a few people with you.
