Prolific You

Some of the greatest luminaries of our time like Mother Teresa transformed the world in which they lived, and left us a great example of what kindness, joy and a meaningful life looks like.

I used to think I have to be in great shape in all aspect of my life to be able to stand tall to help others in the midst of the storms of life.  I have come to realize that I was in delusion for only the delusional can entertain these type of thoughts.  You see, no one is perfect and in fact no will ever be perfect.  So, to beguile yourself with the idea that you will come to aid of another when you have is a complete fallacy and one that will delude your thinking to dispondency, despair and apathy.

People like Mother Teresa did not wait until they had billions of dollars to feed and clothe the hungry, but rather decided they were going to do it anyway.  Today, the history honos the because they were courageous enough to not only pursue their hearts desires but to do so in serving another.  This is mind boggling to the one who sit around waiting for help to land on their laps, but to those who decide and determine they will be the help instead–their decision thus becomes the making of a legacy that history lives to remember.

In considering how such noble men and women came to garner the world`s reverence and honor, it dawned on me that it was not because they were extra ordinary but rather they opted for the extraordinary path.  They believed in the good and well being of others, and thus set out to fulfill in that domain by way of giving of themselves.  Leading me to conclude that when you and I decide to live in gratitude, no fear or limitation can hinder us because by the very idea of gratefulness denotes that you have all that you need within you, and that you cannot be diminished not by situations, things or circumstance.  This way of thinking allows you and I to transcend our present moment and allows us to operate from a place of abundance.  And once we embrace this truth, it becomes our reality and an impetus to give.

Joyful giving flows from the seat of the soul that believes there is more, and that an unquenchable stream flows from within–the very source of all.  This is the mindset and belief that allows one to feel indebted to the source, or the giver.   And the constant act of thanksgiving thus remain the how to receive, and perpetuate the streams flow from the giver to the receiver and then to those around the reciver and the world at large!  I once heard someone remark that a lake without an outlet or outflow grows salty.  While salt is great to add savor, it actually kills if it is not in the right amount.   Are you killing your dreams by complaining, blaming others, pointing fingures at what is not working or wrong around you or are you choosing to be the salt in right amounts so as to bring order, smiles, joy and life to those around you?

If you want to grow or achieve your dreams avoid people who:
Selfish
Ungrateful
Complain
Blame
Judgemental
Unsatisfied
Proud
Lastly, life is governed by principles that never change… so, the sooner you and I learned to embrace a malleable mindset the better of we will be.  Some call it changing our perspectives to choose to see the world in new lenses– and while that may be hard at first, I gurantee you it is well worth it if you espouse the new thinking!  Remember what King Solomon said, as a man thinketh so is he!
