Sometimes we see only what we want to see

 

Back in 1607 when the settlers first made their voyage to Jamestown, the Indians who were already colonized there couldn’t see the ships on the horizon. The three ships, The Constant, The Godspeed and The Barge were slowly sailing on the horizon as far as the eye could see, making their way to land. The reason the Indians couldn’t see the ships was because they had no knowledge or experience of the ships. Because they had no experience or knowledge, they didn’t know they existed. So one day the Shamen notices on the shore of the beach that there are ripples coming into the shore that were starting to become bigger and bigger with each day. Everyday the Shamen sat there on the beach and looked and looked and looked and only after a period of time he noticed the ships. The Shamen then alerted the tribe that there were ships on the horizon and because they trusted and believed in him, their leader, they too started to see the ships. Often times we ourselves do not see things because we have no knowledge or experience of things. Sometimes it takes that someone or others we trust to shows us what else can possibly exist. So what if there was a way to show you the possibilities that really do exist everywhere for you to see?  It’s all inside of you, the power is in your hands.

In this infinite sea of possibilities all around us everyday,

Why do you keep re-creating the same routines?

Why do you keep creating the same reality?

Why do you keep having the same relationships?

Why do you keep having the same jobs over and over again?

Isnt it amazing that we have options and possibilities that exist and we’re unaware of them? Much like the Indians who couldn’t see the ships on the horizon?

Is it possible that we’re so conditioned to our daily lives that we buy into the idea we have no control at all?

We’ve been conditioned to believe the external world is more real than the internal world, but the truth is whats happening within us will create whats happening outside of us.

Some of the most extraordinary people and figures from history who set the way and paths with their extraordinary achievements or inventions did so because they did things differently, they stepped out of the box, out of the routine and when everyone was walking down the same path they went the other way and created their own way and others followed and discovered a new way because of them. They were creative and pioneers because they saw so much more.

So how will you be extraordinary and step out of the box to live your life in a way unseen before? Will you risk or take a chance to go down the path you have always imagined to go down? Or perhaps go down the path nobody has ever gone down? Are you willing to change and see things differently because you realize nothing changes and you want so much more?

Someday you will be laying in a bed on your final days and it will be then you will know how precious life is and wished you took the chances and risks and followed your dreams. Life is too short so get out there

DREAM BIG   risk   IMAGINE   be great   TAKE A CHANCE   share your passion   ASPIRE   love   INSPIRE   create it   CHANGE   travel   DARE TO BE GREAT   express yourself   DONT SAY, DO   try   FIGHT   never give up   CHALLENGE YOURSELF   sing   DANCE   laugh   RISE   smile   GO   exercise   BE FEARLESS   trust   LET GO OF THE PAST   forgive
