Appreciation For Life Will Turn You Into An Alchemist
Only human beings are the best at one thing:
reacting.
It’s so easy to be influenced by anything and anyone outside of us. And when you spice it up a little bit with the idea that, for most of our lives, we are unconscious beings ready to receive and accept whatever — we are now a dry sponge ready to absorb. And when you spice it up a little more, keeping in mind all the negativity, limitations, struggle, unfairness, pain, and heartbrokenness in the world surrounding us, you can imagine what kind of sponge we turn into.
Changing the perspective of all that will either make you look crazy, feel crazy, or set you free.
Or all three.
Get out of your way and stop limiting yourself to possible outcomes
I always say: the universe has way more infinite ways to give you what you want than you do.
You can only think of so many scenarios. You can only take so many actions. But you can’t put a price on what the universe can do for you — and it requires you to move out of your own way. You’re just blocking the universe's way to you. I spent most of my life trying to figure out how, when, and what I can do more and better to get the results I want.
Turns out, the most divine thing you can do sometimes is simply stop and transcend what you know to be true.
It’s exhausting to keep trusting in the unseen and to know that things are unfolding in the best possible way for you. But since the world and life as we know it come from the same invisible energy field, it would make sense that if you want something, you need to start from the unseen, too. Maybe you and I were also at some point simply a wave or an idea before something greater than us observed us into existence and gave us physical bodies.
That same power is the one you need to allow to clear the way and create a new way.
Knowing it’s possible in general and believing it’s possible for you too is the game-changer
If others did it, so can I.
This is how powerful creators think. All they need is to see it once, do it once, know of one person who’s done it before them, or read about it somewhere once — and they know they’re next. No matter what it takes or how long it takes, it’s already happened for them because they aligned their consciousness with the consciousness of their desires. Other people’s results just reinforced their conviction that it's possible, no matter how crazy it may seem.
I wish more people looked at the world and themselves the same way.
Sometimes I wonder what those people who were the fourth-minute mile had to become — those who had no one and nothing to rely on — and how they changed so that someone like you and me could look at their deeds, tolerate a previously impossible concept, and make it possible. As corny as it sounds, you need to believe you are capable of achieving all you desire.
The success
The healing
The love
The adventure
The peace
And then maybe you can be someone else’s fourth-minute mile.
Appreciation is a state of being and doesn’t need evidence
Can you love your life without any reason?
Most people love writing down things they are grateful for because it shifts their awareness to what they have rather than what they don’t. But reason is human — and it’s an illusion. It will keep you stuck and in lack until you stop looking for reasons to appreciate existence, your path, your past, and your future.
Just the idea of life should be enough to be in awe — without its elements.
Can you embody the energy of gratitude and appreciation without having any physical evidence that it is present in your life? It’s a bit of a catch-22. When you stop looking for it, it shows up.
There is nothing wrong with being thankful for your kids, pets, your job, your house, or the clothes on your back. This world that has been given to us is beyond beautiful, and my sincere hope is that we’ll not leave it worse than we found it.
But the inner temple is what keeps everything moving.
Don’t just look for material things to be grateful for.
Sometimes the unfathomable complexity of something being alive before creating life itself is enough…
As always, keep creating.
