Are you satisfied, so comfortable that you forget to strive, to thrive, to reach for more, to have your dreams growl, so you know it is time to expand, to grow? “Go out on a limb for that is where the fruit is.” Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.”—Will Rogers.
Do you have a hankering for more, a gnawing on the inside that there can be more to this life, your life, to the day-to-day operations of who you have become, where you have let yourself remain, perhaps in a good place, like treading water in Maui, but you want to scuba dive, and there is a line of sight, a farther out, a vision unfulfilled, a place in the sun that you just have never been to.
It is time to take the youngest child and draw the perfect house, now build it. It is time to let your mind go so far out there, that it wrinkles reality; it gets excited about buying a ticket into space with Virgin Galactic. Do you know this number 558? Number of humans who have been to outer space.
Get hungry again, and strike out on new adventures. Design a vacation to somewhere marvelous. Invent something. Create the dressings of a new dream. Conjugate all the missing pieces of something spectacular and put it into motion with plan and action and a mind that is open, like a sail in the wind tacking all the way to Tahiti, until you finally getting out of the way of you.
Enlist the vibrational mind, the broadcasting of new faith, of a misadventure that leaves you breathless somewhere in Brasil, in the arms of Jesus de la luc, in frenzy for more, to new heights. But first please get off the couch, turn off the TV, quit playing video games, don’t be that statistic of 9 hours a day on your cell phone.
It is the hunger to do more, to live on the extreme side of what is possible that engages the next chapter of your life, that tells the tale, the creates a story, instead of making it through the day hoping not to kick anything over, hoping not to spill the beans, or the milk or the rest of the story with somber routine and rudimentary ordinary tea sipped on the veranda of a track home in a neighborhood you no longer belong in.
Stretch out and eat your fill of a dream that you have forgotten for way too long. Believe, retrieve, conceive and receive the glory of thinking huge, of letting the chips fall where you see a pattern of greatness.
It is ok to be extremely hungry with what is left to ravage on in your unfolding buffet, in the delicacies of this life like a side of snake penis served cold in Beijing, this is real stuff.
It is time to let your dreams growl, notice that they are hungry for your attention, for your masterful accompanying them, feeding them with talent and skill, gift and gala, and letting them out to roam the universe.
Keep them fed on ideals, and vision and faith and dedication and a searing desire to have them show up at the dinner table, to be the most delightful food you have ever eaten with friends and fellow visionaries, who will laugh at your comfortable life, who will push you out of the plane to jump for joy, who will encourage you to reach higher than you have ever even entertained in a mind that has been way to overfed with fast food, too full on complacency, and has become lazy and well-groomed to be way too ordinary and status quo when the universal appeal is beyond your imagination.
Get hungry and that will instigate a fire inside you, a roasting of the pig on the pit, a party with desire; and you will then begin to move toward the miraculous, the unheard of, the longevity of a parsec set of dreams that will travel well in a private jet.
Get hungry and get to the buffet of life, and eat your fill. “Life is a banquet, but most poor suckers are starving.” From the movie Auntie Mame. When you are hungry for more, more adventures in the life, then you can manifest the feast and fiesta of high aspirations.
Dine on your dreams. Feed on your highest aspirations. Go out and hunt for the best game you can find, and you will eat like a king. You will digest the most delicious experiences and you will leave legend in your wake.
For when you are hungry, in pursuit of your dreams, addicted to your dreams, what always follows behind you is a trail of pure enjoyment and happiness of purpose.
