It Can Be Another Way
It can be another way.
I don't think you came into this world to work day and night for
small wages, to suffer ill health, and to be lonely. I don't
think you came here to lose, over and over again.
I think you came here because you have a dream.
And this dream represents the best version of you.
All around you are people fulfilling their dreams, but their
numbers are small. It's hard to meet them and draw inspiration
from them.
Instead you are surrounded by those who do not have time for
dreams and who are silent about what is buried in their hearts.
They are afraid to speak and to know themselves.
And yet somehow--you know it can be another way.
Listen, here is what you must do.
First, you must craft a vision. It is your template for success.
Then you must educate yourself and learn what the new thing
requires of you. You must study and practice in the still, small
hours of the morning. You must persist past your own self-doubts
and fatigue.
And this vision has to be planted upon the ground of your old
reality, for the world will not move aside while you struggle to
create anew.
You have to take your subconscious mind aside as you whisper to
it the new version of you. It will resist. It likes the old. It
likes the familiar. But if you persist, the inertia, the
procrastination, the sudden, low moods with which it guards the
old paradigm will begin to weaken and your messages of hope will
take root in fertile soil.
Slowly, imperceptibly, things will change. Each day as you
invent yourself anew while laboring with the old, you will move
forward.
And one day, despite the outer and inner critics, you will
prevail.
You will look upon riches and a life of ease, robust health, and
an enduring relationship based on mutual affection and respect.
You will do work that helps the world. You will act in a way
that is pleasing to your soul.
Create a vision. Hold on to it. Study and practice. Overcome
your hesitations. Things will change.
It can be another way.
