There is a message out there about getting what you want. It always seems to be delivered with the idea, the assumption, that getting what you want or making a change is hard and has to be difficult. But does it?
Of course this life will be hard, when we aren’t living the life we were designed to live. When we are continually chasing after the very things that will never fulfill our individual soul. We go out, follow someone else’s plan and think somehow, we will get a life specifically designed for our own personal happiness and fulfillment. This conditioned way of thinking that tells us life is hard, getting what you want is hard, living itself is hard is nothing more than a way to keep people distracted and doing life in line with someone else’s agenda.
We MUST see, once and for all, that one person’s idea of success, one person’s vision of the “good life”, one person’s path to a life of joy is NOT the path, vision or idea for everyone. Our need for acceptance, connection and love has been used and exploited to convince us that there is only one way for every human on this planet to have a successful and happy life.
Following someone else’s formula has led to the state of the world we find ourselves in today. We are experiencing the highest levels of depression, anxiety and misery today more than any other time in history. Following someone else’s idea of a well lived life has denied us the greatness that is lying dormant in each and every one of us.
When will we see that our desires are unique? They are ours to discover and uncover, not something we can be can told. We are put here to listen and to develop and to experience who it is we really are. When will we shift into a knowing that who we are is easy, fulfilling and creates the passion and the drive to be just that?
The next 3 years of your life will look like the previous 3 years of your life only if you buy into to the notion that getting what you want is hard and there is a certain prescriptive way to get it. It’s only when you decide you want to change, decide you want to develop yourself and decide to see that you are able, capable and designed to change that you will.
