Action or Inaction

What is it in a person that causes them to say yes, I want this for myself, I desire to have or experience these things, and then do nothing to bring it to them? What is it that causes one to see the dreams of their souls and then say, I won't work towards it? Better yet, work half-heartedly towards it, taking two steps forward and then four steps back?

I ask these things because I'm guilty of those actions above. All my life, I've wanted to sell art on a mass scale, ride my BMX bike on a high level, lead a company that heals people's minds, bodies, and spirits, and makes a profit. And in all honesty, I do do these things on some level, but not quite on the level I feel is possible.

Is it fear of change, fear of failing, a desire to have people feel sorry for you and have them give you things for nothing? What holds us back from our greatest desires?

Maybe as kids, we were programmed not to believe, trust, and act on our soul's desires. Programmed not to follow those dreams by those that decided they can't live out their dreams because they have to pay bills or raise children they never planned on having.

And maybe subconsciously that shame and regret got passed to us, and now whenever we're at the door of change and progress, we freeze and ask ourselves, "Is this really worth it? Is this really better on the other side, or is opening the door going to make things so much worse in my life? Is this really what I want?" That's the time many turn around and go back to dreaming.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the expression "High off Life." Now, it doesn't take any effort in today's space to hear how to get high off other things, but no one seems to talk about being "High off Life." Why is that, and what does it really mean?

While if you google it, it says "feeling euphoric or extremely happy without the use of drugs or alcohol." Doesn't that make you think of being a kid? Before all the responsibilities and bills. It does for me, but it also raises the question, how can I get back to that state of being? I didn't smoke or drink until I was 21. I'm sure it's different for others, but I remember a time where I knew I could do anything with time, energy, and consistency. Now, I feel the same; there's just more fog in my mind.

That's where I'm working to clear for myself now and hope to help others clear. We need other godly thinking, the thinking without limits and fear, the faith and knowing of a child with the ability of an adult is some powerful stuff. Ultimately, I believe it boils down to our faith in self. God has provided and protected and guided us to living the best lives possible and always will. Why would you be here reading this if God hasn't done these things? So, it all leads to our "free will," our "willpower" that's what gets weakened with time, especially when we adopt the programming of the world. Yet, we still have it.

God shows you the path, your free will got you to the door, and what's going to get those doors for positive life changes to open is your willpower. Now open and walk through and lock the door behind you. Because if you don't, no one else will.
