With our free will we have the opportunity to be as great as we choose or limit ourselves to our daily grind of just being average and succumbing to the mental beat down that we give ourselves. What do you want? Are you willing to do what it takes to be the best? Are you satisfied with the crumbs that fall from the bread or do you really want the entire loaf? What do you want?
Ask yourself what are you willing to do to fully maximize that feeling within you that wants to be set free? Will you put yourself in the line of potential failure in order to realize your dreams? What do you want? Emerson states that one of our daily rituals should be to eliminate one of our fears. He believes that by doing this you will find that what you thought was so powerful was nothing more than "courage being covered by fear." Can you imagine what you life would be like if on a daily basis you worked on one of your fears and gave it recognition that you intended to eliminate it from your spirit forever? Can you see and feel the freedom that begins to arise within your soul as you see yourself without that fear holding you hostage?
Do your soul a favor right now and start to eliminate a fear a day. I know that deep seated fears may take some doing as they have cornered a part of your mind for years. However, the best thing that you can do for yourself is to acknowledge the fear when it arises and let it know...you are no longer welcome here.
Until the next time,
Peaceful thoughts,
