I heard it said once that… “if a person learns to get out of the way... they make room for the joys of life”
You can take that quote literally or figuratively… but it is a known fact that the only real culprit… the only person or thing that stops you from achieving your hearts desire is… (drum roll)…you got it… your Self!
The human is designed to be successful!
That’s it that’s all… no more no less!
We are equip with all of the necessary tools to survive to strive to attain any and every thing we want or desire… we just have to learn to get out of the way…
We have to learn to get past that annoying voice that continues to rattle and chatter in what we call our head… or our mind…
We all have it! ... We all do it!
You know… the constant conversation that rolls around between the spaces of your thoughts… the doubts and fears that often holds the thinker hostage in moments when action is needed… the voice that you actually think is you speaking… but really isn’t you!!!
See… the human is built this way… with this mechanism… almost like a safety device… almost like a friend in time of need… almost like a buddy…
Notice I use the word almost… because this internal/external device can act as friend and foe if the human does not know nor overstand what ‘it is’ and its effects on ‘being’…
“I Think Therefore I Am”… the thinker is engaged in thought 24/7 wake or sleep… the thinking mind attempts to make sense of what it sees or perceives that it sees… constantly seeking answers… constantly making up scenarios and answers when one is given or not given… thus creating a reality from what it thinks it knows… which honestly isn’t much…
Think about it… the majority of thoughts that the thinker produces is a result of things that have happened in the past or what it is attempting to create in the future…
When situations arise the thinking mind instantly compares it to a result or a situation that has occurred past tense… then fast-forwards to the future… the mental images and conversations begin of what it thinks is going to happen… but the funniest thing though is that it never plays out in what we call reality the same way it is played out in the thoughts… and more times than naught we act or don’t act according to what we think or thought is or was going to happen…
It’s been said that we are the creators and destroyers of our own dreams… well this is where it begins… on home soil…
Learn to get out of the way… learn to just be with your thoughts and not be your thoughts… don’t give in to the whimsical flashes of random rambling… learn to control the inner thinking and notice how that alters your outer living… they are connected…
Once you learn to get out of the way… you will make room for the blessings of life…
Easier said than done?? Maybe yes maybe no?!
But knowing is a lot more than just half the battle… knowing can make the difference between waking-up or sleepwalking… success or failure… a life of happiness… or one of sailing in the ocean without a sail or a rudder…
The power to do so is yours and has been there all the time…
Just learn to get out of the way!
