Keep your foot on the pedal.
Every single moment grants us another opportunity to steer the ship in the right direction. We all have choices to make and things to do. Without this driving force behind our actions, even the best directions are meaningless. Understand why you do the things you do. Are some habits and patterns detrimental to your vision? Are there things you can add to your life that will increase the quality of it exponentially? Ask the right questions and you’ll start getting initial answers to work with. Don’t come to a grinding halt and stagnate every time you hit a roadblock in a certain area. It’s important to recognize that many things are just out of our control and it’s better to focus on the needle movers while letting the chips fall where they may.
Some days will be worse than others. Tragedy might strike unexpectedly. Life can be very volatile at times even when we seem to be dialed in. Knowing how to keep things moving forward when times are tough is essential to going above and beyond when the cards are in your favor. Ride through the storms and step into the arena regardless. Much experience to be gained and many lessons to be learned by putting your time and energy in the right places for your situation.
At the end of the day, if we’re lucky enough to be breathing and physically capable, it’s possible to turn even the most dire situations into something worth fighting for. Always another move to make. Most constraints are mentally self imposed. We can achieve much more than we give ourselves credit for. What seems out of reach and impossible is just the result of multiple hours, days and years of dedication with some well earned luck added to the mix for good measure. If you can’t find your way around, push your way through to the other side. The race only ends when we return to dust. Keep yourself in the game right up until that checkered flag is waved.
Analyze your systems with precision.
Systems are ever changing. Like the passing of time, each second ticking off the clock manages to bring new ideas and innovations into reality. Things move so quickly these days that an action or reaction to a situation can have dramatic, life altering repercussions in both a positive or negative sense. Never underestimate the role that chance can play in shaking up a situation. Some things are beyond our comprehension and should be viewed as blessings in disguise. There’s a reason why things play out the way they do.
Systems change as time goes on. We step in at first with the initial knowledge we have and then readjust based on the results obtained through certain thoughts and actions. Recognize what areas of your life could be improved and base your blueprint on the things you are interested in, talented at or passionate about and take it from there. You might have to spend some time building up the foundations and doing some things to stay afloat in the beginning. Understand that these initial steps are necessary. Look at your environment and determine where you currently are and where you’d like to be. The specifics will iron themselves out as you continue along the path. Signs and clues appear and guide us forward to new ideas and places.
Discern information that’s presented to you and decipher what resonates and what seems like a waste of time. Instincts play a crucial role in this and it’s important to figure out whether or not your system is in tune with nature. How do you feel physically, mentally and spiritually? Is your self image reflected in reality or things don’t really seem to be adding up? At a certain point we have to come to terms with the fact that every single person throughout history was born in a different place at a different time with different upbringings and characteristics. Even if you were on the unlucky end of this spectrum, learn how to take control of what you can and have faith that life will work out in your favor. We can soar to a much better place with the right drive and dedication. Figure out the right ways to be content and enjoy life based on fulfilling your purpose and dedicating your time to the mission at hand. Use the tools at your disposal to get to the next level.
Make bold moves.
Even with great intelligence, it’s hard to get very far if you’re stuck in your own head and unable to articulate your thoughts and ideas to the people around you. Action is crucial. To go along with this, sometimes what you abstain from doing is even more important than what you do. Understand when to attack and when to defend. Your speculations may never be 100% accurate but it’s much better to stir up some energy and make waves than it is to sit on the sidelines and wonder.
We constantly hear stories of people who get toward the end of their lives with a lot of regret. It’s funny how this starts to hit home more and more as we age. Because of how distracted and bombarded the world now is with information, we tend to forget pretty quickly that one day we’ll be in that same position either looking back and smiling that we did all we could or sitting there wondering what could have been with no more time and energy to make anything happen. The latter seems much more tragic to me. Any of those fears and stings of rejection must pale in comparison to that feeling. Keep this reminder in the back of your brain at all times. Maybe you don’t think you’re prepared for that opportunity but will it ever be back? Why not give it a shot? Why not find your calling in life and execute ruthlessly until that vision becomes a reality? Why not have faith that there is a grand purpose to everything?
We live in a time where we can build a beautiful life while remaining true to ourselves.
Take advantage and always have faith that things work out in the end.
Be grateful for every day that you are granted here on this earth.
We are blessed with unlimited opportunity.
Move forward until the time is up.
