Being complaisant is quite
comforting. Never setting goals, not having expectations or standards can feel
reliable for the fearful and unwilling. Although you may believe sticking to
the status quo is fulfilling, you sell yourself short and life becomes stagnate.
You must constantly invigorate the mind, body, heart and soul in order to
discover your potential, new talents and passions.
As it is the first day of
spring, I think it would be a perfect time to take on this mentality. This
season exemplifies change. It blooms new flowers after winter and prepares the
beautiful summer landscape. While it is a process for the seed to turn into a
flower, it is vital that it gets plenty of sunshine and water. Like a human, we
must plant an idea within our mind and fuel it with positive thoughts and
belief that we can achieve it. The mind is a powerful tool. You can think
something and turn it into a reality. This idea does not necessarily need to be
a world changing innovation, it can merely be having a more fulfilling
relationship with a loved one, extra endurance to run that half marathon or
willingness to start writing that book you have been thinking about your whole
life. Enriching your mind with valuable thoughts and desires fuels your heart
with passion to pursue your objectives with tenacity, stimulates the soul with the resilience
it needs to stick with your goal and makes your body stronger to accomplish
anything you set your mind to.
I know that you might be
thinking, well what if I can’t do it? What if people laugh at me for having
such high expectations? What if it’s hard? Well, I think the first thing you
must do is acknowledge your fears. You don’t have to put them in your back
pocket and attempt to pursue something so important to you. Make peace with your
apprehension in order to perform and reach a point of excellence. Stay poise on
you journey, humble yourself if you encounter setbacks or obstacles and always
stay in love with what you are pursuing.
Magic Johnson once said: “You're the only one who can make the difference.
Whatever your dream is, go for it.” You have control of your life. You
have the ability to turn any situation from a nightmare to a dream, from a
thought to a reality. Trust yourself. Use your intuition and instincts to pave
a path to greatness. Greatness is not tangible. Greatness is a feeling that
lies within and truly shines in a person when they are unshakably happy with
their pursuits in life. I hope that whether life is going great or you are
feeling down on yourself, you choose to follow the sharpest tools in the shed,
your mind, your heart, your body and soul. So, never downsize your life,
upgrade it! Aim for those things you think are impossible. You just might
surprise yourself.
