Getting anywhere in life is realizing that you are not a fighter, but a high flying visionary. You fly high by becoming yourself. Through that inner unfolding, you pierce through the shadow of doubt and reveal yourself demonstratively in the screen of space we call reality. You show yourself in faithful acts. You reveal who you are by remembering you are the effortless doer. You give your resources by remembering you are the resourceful one. You express who you are by remembering you are the creative one. Destinations used to be about getting there and knowing how. They are now about showing and remembering the ineffable power of what’s already here in the epicenter of your soul.
Being determined used to be about fighting, now it’s about giving up the fight to the inner vision of what’s to come – the so-called impossible. It used to be about willpower, but now it’s about the power of willingness. It used to be about compromise, and now it’s about compliance. It used to be about maintaining competitiveness, and now it’s about remembering to maintain a buoyant attitude.
It used to be about not knowing what to do, panicking, and trying to see out the window of “how.” It’s still about not knowing what to do on the external level but knowing how to be on the internal level. Aldous Huxley puts it this way in The Perennial Philosophy, “And when eternity is known in heights within, it is also known in the fullness of experience, outside in the world.”
Rely on the instruments of faith. They will bring you high, into the darkness, and then to the front steps of success’s door. All you must do is enjoy flying first class, maintaining the altitude and attitude of unconditional love, and remembering your greatest prize of all, the I Am that is you.
