It's fundamentally about what you commit to everyday. It's what you do in the dark. When none is there. When none cares. This is what matters. Not what the press says. Not what your friends say. Not what social media says. Between the moment you wake and the moment you sleep, what matters is what you commit to everyday. As if nobody cares and is watching. Which for basically all of us is the honest truth. Nobody cares and nobody is watching you. It’s just you, your conscious and the universe. Your commitment to everyday. This is all that matters. Your attention to what lies in front. Keeping your head down. Following the steps. One by one. Doing the reps. One by one. This is what matters. This is what allows you to become. There is no shortcut. There is no secret. The steps must be taken. The hours must be applied. So commit to it. Start now. Commit to everyday because that is all that matters. Do this and when you look up in moments of respite you can be proud what you have become. What you have allowed God to create through your life. But don’t forget to rest. Rest helps you to go further. Without it you will go backwards.
This is not about you, but what your spirit has been given power to enable in the world. This commitment. This is a belief that your spirit holds power. It holds a life force that only you can bring to life. Don't lose it. Don't ignore it. Live it. Exact the power you have been given. This is not about success, it’s simply about being a human that has purpose. Be purposeful. What you have been given will never be again. Let the sheer uniqueness of your being ignite you to commit. You are valuable. Do so humbly, and peacefully. Thank God for his gift. Be grateful. Your life force exists but will only thrive if you commit. Do you want to survive or thrive?
First, you need to survive. Simply get through. Stay alive. Make it your mission to get out of the jungle that has locked your mind. For some of us, that’s debt, for others, it’s the area they grew up in, for others, their self-image, others mental health, some social media, get out of whatever is holding you back. You know what it is. Once you overcome this thing, and you are surviving. Thriving then is the goal. If you are no longer working to survive, you must be working to thrive. If you are not working to thrive, you are slowly degrading. It’s one of the other. The world and everything that lives in it, is evolving. You must also. It’s better to lead your evolution than being forced. Now is your moment to thrive.
To thrive you must focus. You must be attentive and intentioned. Look inwardly rather than outwardly. Pay attention to what brings you joy. To what you want your life’s work to be attached to. The opportunity is too large and great to do anything else but commit to what you could and desire to become. If you don’t you will regret it. Don’t assume you have time. Assume you don’t. There are only so many jobs, ideas and relationships you can commit to in your life. Choose with meaning. Before you know it you will be but a moment from death and wish you could have committed more to what you truly cared about. This commitment will not be without sacrifices. You will look strange, odd and overly ambitious. You will feel like an outsider. Swimming against the current. If this is what you feel you are actively becoming. Do it. Become it. Rise to it. Step by step furiously. No shortcuts. This is how you become. You already know what the first step is. Go do it
