Another Moment....
I can't sleep. What keeps me awake is the thought of tomorrow. The thoughts of what happened in the past, and how not to let it affect my future. I had a very powerful conversation with Dave tonight. I talked to him about things I could not tell anybody. What was great was, he understood, and lead my thoughts to where they need to be. I talked to him about my duality quite a bit. I believe everyone has it... but mine is not so divided. The line between the dualities within me is becoming less and less defined. Truth is the only me I want to prevail is the super me.
There is a battle that rages on in everyone... greatness vs. mediocrity. Majority of people declare surrender early in the battle and continue in mediocrity... occasionally entertaining their need for greatness through TV, sports, and other leisure pursuits to make up for their great defeat in life. I am all to aware of this battle to let it come to pass.
For some time now it feels as though I have been losing the battle... but now I realize... I cannot lose, so long as I did not quit. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Right now I feel as though I am living in a moment. The moment is when decisions are made... most people have the lottery attitude, and believe that the moment happens in a single act.. but it doesn't.. the moment happens in a habit.. a behaviour.. that is ongoing and alters your possibilities forever. In every moment you have the choice... define the moment, or the moment will define you.
I have wasted away too much time in idleness and vain imaginings... when I look forward I have to ask myself, what will I say when I look back.. my greatest regret is not in what I have done... it is in what I have not done. I cannot live with that knowledge any longer.
This moment is being defined... I will no longer allow the duality in my life to continue... from now on... only the greatest will be the standard... only excellence will be acceptable.. and only action which is taken in pursuit of my dreams.
I cannot allow my personal fears, mediocrity, and lack of vision to deny others from what they could have. To allow myself to squander in such ways is to deny others the possibilities of recognizing the truth in their own lives. If there is anybody I need to raise my standard for, it is for all humanity... because until I do, I cannot expect anybody else too.
I realize the power I have to move mountains, I recognize the source of all my power, and I am solidified in my resolve to live by that standard. All things are possible with God.
I will stop looking at the past.. and close my eyes to the future.. walk by faith.. and not by sight.. and accept God's gift.. the present. Cherish each moment that has been given to me, to mold, to bend, and shape my eternity.
Truly I have learned, the source of all sorrow, is in the pursuit of all things save the dream that has been given to you. The source of all happiness, is not to do what feels good, but to do what is right, and in pursuit of your vision... your purpose... your dream.
Life really is that simple... when you live by truth.
