Happy New Year my Beautiful Friends! Now share yourself in a MAJOR way this year!~
Write the BOOK you dream of writing, make the ALBUM you think to make, crush the BUSINESS you long to have, lead the ADVENTURES you know you can lead, create the COMMUNITY you know you’re meant to create, take the STAGE you know your soul wants to be on, make the MOVIE you see so clearly in your minds eye!
Be COURAGEOUS, BOLD, CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE, INFLUENTIAL all so that you can simply be more YOU!
You are capable of astounding yourself! You have no need to play it safe because your truest safety lies in leaning into your soul’s callings!
Life wants to create through you. It wants to show you the amazing things it can do for the world THROUGH YOU.
It only needs you to say yes to the adventure that calls. And to have faith in being supported in all the ways you need.
The truest statement I’ve yet found about going for your unrealized heartfelt ambitions is this one by Patanjali, said ages ago:
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
Life experience will teach you the total truth of this quote when you but test it.
So don’t play 2019 anything less than full out. Don’t play it timid. Timid is a sentence to imprisonment of your own doing.
You don’t have to have total self belief. Trust me. You only have to muster enough self belief to get started and stay going.
After that, magic kicks in and propels you forward! (Because your courage and commitment engages magic – word!)
I have heard naysayers tell me what I can’t do for each thing I ended up doing. First becoming an inspirational speaker. Then selling a 100,000 books. Or standing up to a big bank on principle. Then doing a comedy show. I’ve heard people say I couldn’t do each and everyone of the things I’ve wanted to do.
BUT THE LOUDEST NAYSAYER was always in my head, each time. You’re the greatest enemy to your dreams. Until you’re not.
And I’ve been broke without the money I “needed” (aka wanted) to make my ambitions come true. And I’ve been depressed. And I’ve felt small and unable. And I’ve feared failure. And I’ve FAILED HARD. And I’ve had huge set backs and I’ve felt ALONE.
And most of all, I’ve NEVER BEEN THE MOST TALENTED person in the field of my dreams. Almost the opposite. Bad speaker, at first. Bad writer, at first. Awful business person, at first. Horrible story teller, at first.
You don’t have to be great at your secret ambition to get started at it. You have to get started at it to be great!
You have to decide if you’re going to be okay with mediocrity, or if you’re going to roll the dice on yourself someday. Bet on YOU. What I’ve learned is that YOU ARE YOUR OWN SAFEST BET. BET ON YOU.
So what’s your secret ambition that is yet unrealized but still tugging at your sleeve? That tug is Life Itself trying to create THROUGH YOU.
Who are you to block life? Why would you block life trying to use you to make wonderful things happen?
Stop it.
I’ve been insecure, self-doubting, afraid… it’s no way to live. It’s depressing because you aren’t meant to play small. You’re meant to be joyous. You’re meant to discover who great you are when you are simply YOU allowing life to create through YOU.
Create a life that is beyond your current wildest dreams. And then you’ll get new dreams that are even more enticing. It’s how life works. As you open yourself to possibilities, life pours more possibilities into you through your opening.
You already know life is mysterious. You already know life works in magical ways. So stop living like it’s scary out there. There is no out there. There is in you, being reflected outside of you.
So live like magical support will come to your aid and it will. You just gotta have faith.
Faith in what?
Faith in life. Faith in a friendly universe that loves the shit out of you. That loves you so much it wants you to joyfully experience the dreams it gave you.
Bet on yourself. Do it. You’re worth it.
Love and Happy New Year!
Patrick
