I remember getting ready to leave for school one day and my mum would give me all this advise as to what I could and couldn’t do in life. When I would question her about it, most times she couldn’t give me an answer. It was like you just have to listen without having the right answers.
People all over the world follow these habits and customs, yet no one ever asks why.
Like me, you have formative experiences, a certain environment you were raised in, and hundreds if not thousands of mind viruses and foundational beliefs are programmed into you. All of those influences lead you to a certain result, a certain kind of life you’re meant to live.
Until you decide that you aren’t…
The path most people take follows the advice they frequently get. This could best be summed up as, “Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, you should first listen to what it intends to do with you.” That’s probably not bad advice, to first ascertain the path life is leading you. However it’s usually horrible advice to blindly accept that path. You have to know what values you have and what they mean to you. You have to live your truth, not anyone else’s.
The path laid out for ‘the future me’ was fairly clear. Study hard, go to University and get a good job. Work hard so not to be like your father working in a factory assembly plant 12 hours a day 6 days a week.
I didn’t want to go down that path though.
So I killed that guy. And created the me I really wanted to be.
I started the path of least resistance, to please my family and work my plan, started going to seminars and listening to people to see what was out there, spent a lot of money on courses, books and educational programs until I found the right course for me. Once I had mastered the course and saw the results, I decided to pay it forward and help others, around the world, be a person to help, see others grow with my guidance, with my teams guidance and be someone that helps and inspires people. You cant please everyone, yet you can help those who truly want to be helped and guided. I wanted to help people just like you.
You’ve entered a unique place, when you stop by here. The best way to describe this space is an abode for consciousness. The people who visit this page regularly are conscious. Conscious of who they are, and most importantly, who they can become.
You probably hang with other people of consciousness and may even take that for granted, believing most people, or even everyone thinks this way. They don’t. You’re actually in a pretty tiny subset of the population.
Unfortunately that doesn’t give you a lot of people to model, or a conventional path to follow for achieving your goals. So when I get a chance to get in your grill and cause you to question something about your life, I relish the opportunity. This is one of those times.
The path already laid out for you may show you that you’ll drive a Mercedes, have a holiday home a few hours away from your home, and become a successful dentist like your father. And if that path feels right for you, by all means savor the journey.
But before you blindly go down the path the world has in store for you, you may want to do some serious critical thinking and decide if that path will take you to becoming the person you truly want to be.
FOKAS!
