The Hand That Writes All

You are only limited by your own imagination. How you speak to yourself matters. I would say it matters more than anything. Whether you think you can, or you can’t, you’re right. This applies to everything, it is everything. We create our own realities through our perception of ourselves and the world that surrounds us. You do not see the world as it is, you see the world as you are.

In my opinion, the largest difference between those who have achieved what is perceived as wild success in their endeavors, and those who have not, is simply the belief that they can, and they will. Not only is it a possibility, it’s the feeling that there is no other possible outcome but success. The deep underlying feeling of every tiny cell in your body believing fully, completely free of doubt, that this is the only potential reality that can and will occur. Walk, talk, and act as if it has already happened.

There is a mantra I say aloud to myself every single morning I wake, “I love myself and I love my life. Anything is possible and you can do anything.”

I strongly feel the only thing that keeps a person from what they truly desire most in this life, is themselves. That’s it. One can make every excuse in the world as to why what I just stated is not true, but I choose not to believe it.

Imagine a reality where one carries this type of confidence. Where one truly believes wholeheartedly that anything is possible. Then life begins to feel like a very fun game. “What will I do with this power, what do I desire most to achieve?”

In the end, imo, it’s actually irrelevant whether the individual archives any particular goal associated with this way of being and thinking. What I do know, is that it creates a fun and confident way of moving through this existence in life, and that any individual has already failed before they started if they truly do not believe that anything is possible.

If this were all just a dream, a short ride through time and space, and one held the power to be the author of their own favorite book that is their life story, what would you write? What dream would you create?

"To the individual thus enlightened it appears as a vivid and overwhelming certainty that the universe, precisely as it is at this moment, as a whole and in every one of its parts, is so completely right as to need no explanation or justification beyond what it simply is. Existence not only ceases to be a problem; the mind is so wonder-struck at the self-evident and self-sufficient fitness of things as they are, including what would ordinarily be thought the very worst, that it cannot find any word strong enough to express the perfection and beauty of the experience.” ~ Alan Watts
