Let Go of Who You Are to Become What You Might Be
27th July 2014
We
all have dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Most of these are left to the
confines of our minds, acting only as seemingly-unattainable realities
that are nice to think about in order to escape the daily reality we
find ourselves in, day after day. It doesn’t have to be this way.
We
as humans have the incredible ability to have unbridled will that can
be the driving force for attaining the most amazing dreams, hopes, and
aspirations we come up with. Combine this will with the courage to
transform our thoughts into realities and an unstoppable determination
to actualize those thoughts, and you now have the mental framework laid
out which will allow you to live your dreams.
As
humans we have relatively short lifespans and as we grow older and
begin to feel to side effects of aging we tend to reflect more and more
on our past and the things we managed to accomplish or have experienced.
This self-reflection can lead to great sadness and depression if we
look back and see regretfully that we didn’t chase our dreams (usually
because of the fear of the great unknown) or we have regrets about
things we did that we never reacted to with actions that could undo
those regretful decisions.
It doesn’t
have to be this way… it doesn’t have to be this way at all. Why settle
for anything less than the live you imagined for yourself?
If you look around you and see that others have attained what you wish you had, then this shows you that you can create the same reality for yourself. As long as what you dream for yourself is possible within the confines of the 3D reality we as human beings experience on a daily basis, then the only obstacle between you and living the life you imagine for yourself is your mind. As the Kala, Makia, and Mana principles in the ancient Hawaiian Huna philosophy state:
There are no limits… Energy flows where attention goes… All power comes from within.
There
are no limits to the mind except those that we acknowledge, as Napoleon
Hill had once said. When we realize the barrier to living our lives in
the way that we feel would make us content and happy is our very own
mind (and more specifically, the structure-process illusion created by
the human mind called the ego) then once we become aware of this, we can
say “To hell with these self-imposed limits, I want to live my dreams
and chase away the doubts!”
Yes, it
really is that simple. To change your mindset is the most critical and
most important step in actualizing your dreams. The rest will follow but
you need to establish a welcoming environment within your mind for
those dreams so that they can eventually become dreams no more but
expressions of your actual life. In the words of Lao Tzu, “when I let go
of what I am, I become what I might be.”
Why
settle for anything less than that which brings you incredible bliss,
joy, ecstasy, and happiness? You shouldn’t have to. This is your life,
this is your time to shine. If you see yourself living a life that is
but a shadow of what you dream your life was like, then the time to
change is now. Change your state of mind and the rest will sure follow.
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” ~ Patanjali
