You can’t just stay hidden in the world within your mind. The game must be played. Everything you contemplate and the truths you have uncovered mean nothing unless applied to the real world. It should not feel like you are being forced to do anything, you don’t have to do anything.
You can remain mediocre for all I care, but for all you care you can’t see yourself settling for that. Desire is weaved into our psyche from a young age, it is what keeps us alive and kicking. What makes us train when you have no desire to, because a greater desire is telling you that you must train.
In the end it all becomes a battle of desires…
Which one you allow to dictate the road you travel on is entirely up to you. You can always lie to yourself that you don’t desire anything.That only works if you are actually capable of living to that standard. If you can’t you’ll find yourself living a life filled with resentment and judgement towards the world and others.
As I discovered for myself. It was no way of life for me. I couldn’t just not desire anything, I just found myself desiring not to desire. Anyways it was just a way for me to try and hide from the weight of not living up to the expectations I layed out for myself in my mind.
That is the game though…
You must play it. You must be willing to feel the full weight of disappointment, of failure, if you wish to see the heights you think you can reach. You have to fail in order to learn how to win. If you never learn how to lose, you sure as shit won’t know what to do when you win.
Failure is a teacher, something you did or didn’t do caused this failure to land onto you. It is your job to uncover what you are not seeing.
In order to get to the next level you see yourself at, you must see where you are now. See it and then work to close the gap between who you are now, and the you within your mind.
Scary to think that it can still all go wrong… but in my mind it can only go wrong if you hide away from change. You can’t want something you never had and expect to get it by simply doing what you’ve always done. Nothing is impossible to get, you want the house, the care, and never worrying about a dime again? Well then do what you’ve never done before. Play this game like you love it.
Not like something that is happening to you, or something you were born into, but rather something you choose to do. That you want to do.
Then see how everything changes for you. How conversations change. How the way you eat your food changes.The way you breathe. The things you do.
Everything changes with you by osmosis. You inspire parts of yourself, parts that may have been dormant or unconscious, to change with you.
The more you change, the more beauty you will begin to see in your life. Beauty that was always there but your perception of reality blocked it from your sight.
Every new beauty you find will serve as a method of arrival to a love for the life you have right now.
To me that is the greatest thing we can do. Love this creation we were born into and play the game with all our being.
