Every single person has a destiny. That means that you have an ordained mission, blessings, and unexpected good things that are supposed to come your way. You have to be very careful you're not actually betraying your destiny, because then you're kind of blocking the whole point of which you came here on earth to accomplish in the first place.
I want to share with you three important things to make sure that you aren't betraying your destiny so let's dive right in. So this first point, I'm going to be reading to you a quote. It's by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Ralph Waldo Emerson said "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance, that imitation is suicide, that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion, that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him, but through his toil, be stowed on that plot of ground, which is given to him to till. The power, which resides in him is new in nature and none but he knows what that is, which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried." Very powerful.
What is this saying? We live in a universe of good, but you can't even scrape the surface on all the good that has your name on it unless you follow your own hero's journey. You can't get the same greatness out of your life when you're trying to imitate what everybody else says you should do. You have genius within you. Anybody who has accomplished anything you can imagine, you can do too.
So you don't need to envy them and you don't need to imitate them. It is suicide to your true nature and your highest destiny in life. You are more powerful than you believe. I want you to repeat this statement. "I am a genius and I apply my wisdom". Just keep saying it. Eventually, it's going to turn a switch on in your subconscious mind.
Point number two is another quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was the basis of my TEDx talk that I did when I was 20. It's what led me to drop out of college and vagabond backpack around the world and write a book about it and build my career. It comes down to this statement. "Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
Very few of us have made our own trail in life because we're on somebody else's path. I always say, if you follow the herd, you step in shit. We get talked out of our own greatness. We get told this is what you need to do. You inherit other people's limitations, but they're so deeply embedded subconsciously that you think they are your own inherent limitations. They aren't. They're an illusion. In Buddhism. They call the world of illusion, "Maya". Maya is the world of illusion. Stop, take a deep breath and ask yourself, am I living in Maya? Am I living in other people's illusions that I've mistaken for my own?
Is there a story I've been operating from? You can't make money this way. I'm not good enough because of this. That's the illusion. And just like a computer software, you can take those files and put them in the trash bin, drag them in there, hit empty trash in the top corner, and then re-installed better software. What I'm inviting you to do is to ask yourself a simple question. So you can pave your own trail in life. Ask yourself, what do I really want?
Who do I really want to be? What do I really want to have? What do I want my life to really look like? Write it on a piece of paper. Clearly define it on a piece of paper and go out there and live that life. Amazing things will start to show up in your life.
The third and final thing is to remember this simple and profound statement. "Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack". What it means is you don't allow your physical senses and your outside world to control your thinking. Because if you do that, then you're going to constantly be reacting to your outside environment instead of living from your inner vision. And if you allow the outside world to control your thinking, you can only create your future pretty similar to what it already is in the present.
So you have to turn the volume noise down. You have to turn the volume down on the outside world. Just because you don't have it yet doesn't mean it's not coming. All the energy that ever was and ever will be is 100% present at all times now. It is never destroyed.
you can't hear a dog whistle when you blow it but a dog can. Well, because it has a vibration. It has a frequency beyond what our ears are used to picking up. We know it's real. It's just outside of the realm of visible light. It's outside of our little bandwidth of energy that we call reality. There's so much more going on. Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack. The thing is on the way. Allow your imagination to form the pictures in your mind as opposed to allowing the outside world to.
Remember this simple statement from Albert Einstein. He said, " Logic will take you from A to B, but imagination will take you anywhere." When using your imagination just ask yourself this question, where would you like to go?
Remember
Miracles are normal!
