Taking control of our thoughts and actions is a monumental endeavor, learning to break the cycles of behavior which might have been built up over years, or even decades, and see the world anew, as it truly is. So many of us spend our lives lost in our minds, obsessed with our thoughts and addicted to our flawed understanding of the world, so that when we begin to understand just how much work there is to be done it can suddenly be very scary.

We all have dreams of how we’d like the future to be, but only a few take the necessary steps to manifest them as a new reality. It’s a tough journey, and it never really ends, but it’s also a beautiful one. 
What separates a daydream from a lived reality? It couldn’t be simpler: action.

There is an increasing awareness in the world today that our shared reality is simply layer upon layer of energy, created by people like you and me, and that what we see around us is nothing more than an expression of our internal universe. These ideas are not new, they have been with us for thousands of years, but as modern science continues to catch up to ancient wisdom, they are being recieved by more people than ever before.

How many of us have ever wanted to leave everything behind, head out on a great adventure and explore this magnificent reality we have been gifted? It’s a common aspiration, but all too often we are experts at finding reasons to delay, to postpone, or just abandon the idea altogether. We are taught that those kind of experiences are for others, not for us, that we should just accept the way things are, the circumstances we’re in, without dreaming of anything more.

These days we are conditioned to view the world through the lens of one individual, and that individual is universally accepted as being ourselves. In itself, this isn’t necessarily a problem, but without the right frame of reference it can lead us down a very limited, narrow path.

We are all born free. We feel it, in the deepest recesses of our hearts. Everyone, from the youngest child to the wise elder, is aware that their choices are their own, by right. This our fundamental right to exist, to express our sovereignty in whatever way best pleases us, to go forth and move forward, to create a world in an image of our divinity.

Faith isn’t something that many people keep in the forefront of their minds when it comes to making decisions, but in fact it’s absolutely central to everything in life. Where else can we find the strength to manifest a new reality? Whether you’re trying to build a brand, spread a powerful idea or just dive in to a deeper understanding of yourself, it’s the power of faith that will ultimately take you there.

The spiritual path is a long journey, and though much of it is walked with joy there are also inummerable challenges we encounter along the way.
In the search for something authentic, something real, something pure and genuine, how can we identify sources of truth?

The world is full of impossible things, and people trying to tell us what can and can’t be done. But the world is also full of people who continually challenge that idea, push boundaries, and shatter limitations.
There is only one source of strength sufficient to overcome the barriers of a society trained to accept things the way they are – the infinite power of our deepest heart wisdom.

In this life, things won’t always go your way unless you are willing to go the way of life. It is from the sadness that we understand the power of joy, the loneliness which teaches us how to appreciate the special people in our life, and guilt that shows us the light of divine pride and glory. If we move through life expecting always to be happy, to always feel motivated and confident, we will inevitably encounter disappointment. And if we are not trained in appreciating those negative emotional states, then they can take a heavy toll on us.
