We always have choices as human beings, many more than what we are aware of. We think that we are so constrained in life that we have to continue to live & do what we currently do. That is just the language that the victims are prone to use. It is always up to you--- how far along the home path, from your social self to authentic self you want to go.
And when you bravely start taking actions to improve what needs to improve to move further along ‘the’ path, doors you didn’t even know existed, begin to open up.
The mind craves external power; the kind based on worldly—rather than inner—things such as, money, position, possessions. The problem with external power is that it is fleeting, when you lose the money, position & possessions, you lose the power. Hence, if you have tied your identity to those things, then you will also lose the sense of who you are, when they fall away. The only power worth anything is the Authentic power—that which comes from within.
The heart lives in the present moment knowing that is where the life has to be lived. The heart is concerned with healing into wholeness, love, compassion understanding, and services to other human beings. It is aware that each of us is connected at an unseen level that we are all brothers and sisters of the same family and the happiness comes from giving and supporting the growth of the others into their greatest selves.
From today onwards take complete control of your life. Decide once and for all to be the master of your fate. Run your own race; discover your calling and you will soon start experiencing the Ecstasy of an inspired life. However, patience is required on this path to Truth and Self-awakening. Your timing may not be the life’s timing.
Nothing so destroys the heart as to the knowledge that you had the chance to manifest the gorgeous potential within you and that you refused to accept the call.
