The winds of change … that is why they exist. Perceptual empowerment is the key. The consummate alchemist knows that life and its many situations are neutral. The universe does not act with you in mind. It is through a deep understanding of this knowledge and a decision to use everything at your disposal and anything that comes into your reality as a propellant, as fuel for your own progress. It is a positive evolution that will determine whether you are a success or a failure in life. Every day somewhere in the world it rains on the just and the unjust.
Moreover, the people in this life who excel and get ahead are those who rise to the occasion. The people who can find peace within the pain are the ones who eventually seek out that pain until the pain is no more. Once this has occurred, and they have been purified through this process, what was once painful is now a pleasurable experience, And once this has occurred they are on the other side. That person has successfully turned what was previously a weakness into a strength.
This is a type of alchemy.
This is a type of triumph.
And it is through this mindset an individual can become unstoppable on his own personal road to success.
If you will do the thing you fear, the only thing that is certain is the death of fear itself And once you have tasted this type of sweet victory there is little else that will ever be able to quench your thirst again. This is why you have heard it said that greatness is a habit, it is a lifestyle. Once you’ve slain the dragon, lions, tigers, and bears just won’t scratch that itch for you anymore.
There are times in your life when you will have an opportunity to rise to the occasion … times when more than you want to give will be asked of you. It is in these times when you must dig deep because these are your opportunities to soar to new heights and to take your life to levels that you had never imagined.
The pain or discomfort associated with stepping out of your comfort zone or pushing your limits is simply the price of admission to your own greatness. Without overcoming fear and rising to the occasion, no great thing has ever or will ever be done on this planet.
So, it is an honor and a privilege for God in heaven or life itself to challenge you in the very ways that you fear the most. Just to take part in this gigantic opportunity that is breathing air on this planet is a profound honor. This world was designed to either make us into the best we can be or grind us back down into the dust from whence we came.
So, next time you feel the winds of change lolling within your world or someone calls on you to answer a higher call than the performance level that you’re used to operating at. Also, the purpose in your heart to go out on that battlefield to take an opportunity to either rise above it all or die trying.
You’ll see very quickly as you begin to operate at your best that this is the way that you were meant to live. That is the point: this is the discipline. This is the only way to true freedom, success, and your own personal destiny and greatness.
