Strong…

To be strong in this life…is to be focused on what you want, and to see it through to the very end…to have so much hope you can cope with everything, every situational comedy and supposed tragedy.

Be so strong you can bend but not break, and be so self disciplined you can control your thoughts, your emotions, your ways of showing up in this magical world.

Be so strong that you can get better, you leave room for cream in your double espresso, you can and are willing to bend in the strong winds, like the willow, yet never break like the strong pine that will not even bend and gets snapped in the 90 mile an hour winds.

Last winter, right next to my cabin, where the winter winds come rushing off the mountains, down the narrow valley, at sometimes over 90 miles an hour…this pine, two feet from my cabin, tall, strong, 200 feet tall, five feet around, snapped right over.  Luckily it fell away from everything.

Be strong with common sense, with the abilities to tack in the winds…and remember what the great Jim Rohn so often would say, “The same winds blow on us all; it is all about how you set your sail.”

Use adversity, discord and temporary defeat to strengthen your resolve, to illuminate what you do not want, to accentuate what you dislike so as to show clearly what you like and really want, so as to tack better in the winds of your life that you think are pushing you around, hither, in a flurry. 

For you do have the sail and the ability to guide where you want to go.  You do have the intestinal fortitude to guide your destiny, to gather your deepest strengths, resolve and wits to accomplish the world.

You can change the course of poverty mentality, average, just getting by, mediocrity and lift off the chains of self doubt, pity, constraint, and fences you have built in your head. 

You can rise with those winds of change, those difficulties, and solve the problems faster than the next one can come around…“For you cannot stop the waves but you can learn how to surf.”

Become strong in will, in skill, in the truths that you understand within that uplift every sorrow into a perfect tomorrow, into the dazzling bewilderment and mystery that inspires and aspires higher and higher into states of awareness and bliss and joy and live with élan and a song in your heart.

But remember…if you are to achieve your dreams, if you are to live an extraordinary life, use your inner strength, coupled with resolve to create, to complete your dreams and watch the winds of time push you in the direction of creating the world you wish to see.

For true strength comes from unwavering belief. Use the wind, don’t fight it straight on.

Today, believe, conceive, and get busy making your world parallel what your mind can see way off in eternity, where the infinite intelligence is there for you walking hand-in-hand with your dreams, what you wish to see show up in your world.
