Achieving self-mastery while pursuing larger than life goals...why this is the true heroes journey..

The biggest resistance you can have is no resistance at all.

It's the big space between where you are and where you want to be.

The space that you imagine is stopping you. The chasm that incites huge fear.

See a lot of us, including me, wonder why we haven't achieved all our dreams yet. We have all the resources, all the ability, all the potential. We work hard to make them happen.... but we have resistance, huge fear and we are hanging back.

A wise friend once said to me, 'If there is nothing stopping you and you have every resource and potential in the world, the only thing stopping you must be god’s will"

How's that for the ultimate excuse why we haven't achieved your dreams yet...

What I am saying is that when you have nothing standing in your way, you are inclined to create a block out of thin air as the reason you are not growing or moving forward. And the biggest reason possible is ‘gods will’ or ‘my guides said not to’ or ‘the energy isn’t right’. Sound familiar for some of you? Yeah me too.

The point is there is no 'gods will' it's only your fear and the blocks you create.. 

I don’t know about you, but within myself there is nothing stopping me except my mind and fear, and this block of nothing at all. Pretty ridiculous really...

See generally in life we go around doing what we know how to do; comfort zone stuff. To go beyond this, you need to really push yourself and break out of that comfort zone and do what you don’t want to do, or don’t know how to do. You need to launch yourself off the edge and learn along the way; the biggest growth is here.

 When you don’t, your mind stays in the loop of analysing self and you go round and round collecting information, analysing, trying to fix oneself, and round and round...

The way out of that loop is to DO something. But don't just follow your passions and what you are good at; that's easy. What I'm talking about is moving beyond the fear by doing something you don't know how to do and figuring it out.  It's taking massive action which makes you feel amazing. it's actually applying what you know. It's following the fear and moving towards it and going through it.

The epitome of the thing that is huge and strikes fear in our hearts but creates the biggest actions and biggest rewards and growth is to work on a project that is SO huge, it puts all your attention and focus onto something greater than yourself.

The biggest way through fear and the best way to move beyond a shallow fluffy life and into a life of a master, is to put all your attention on a really BIG project, like a world changing idea that is challenging as hell for you but benefits everyone.

Something so huge it will be your entire life's goal to achieve it. So huge it will really push the limits, possibly require you to sacrifice everything. It will test your trust and faith,  and it will likely fill your entire life with not just a mountain of challenge and fear but an out of this world level of passion, energy, reward, growth, and joy.

For a prime example of this look no further than Antoni Gaudí and his life's mission of building the de la Sagrada Família. Or Nikola Tesla, or Einstein, or Ed Leedskalnin building the Coral Castle, or Plato, on and on the list goes of people who devoted their lives to a pursuit greater than themselves.

And look how expansive their consciousness was! The work is truly its own reward.

When I putt my attention and energy on the right projects that help me but serve something greater than myself, I take action and it feels good. It seems effortless. Following the truth and the flow of a destiny line project is incredibly empowering and freeing in a way that gives you huge joy and energy.

As you focus on these huge goals that are larger than self, you move into the flow of the path you are creating. The energy creates it's own momentum. You start to act intentionally and create deliberately. Time slows down around you.

It is the opposite experience of being busy and running around working on things that serve my ego but sap my energy. Working on the wrong things depletes you.

When you are focused on the right things, and you’re on your destiny pathway, everything becomes effortless, it flows, and you get more energy and more drive.

By focusing on the things I feel called to work on, it drives my passion, gives me inspiration, and more confidence, which in turn increases my self-belief.

It becomes a wave of energy which spurs me on to create more.

Which moves me to take more action and expand myself even further.

And all the while I have been doing this to serve others yet I have been actually serving myself and have become a master; helping myself to help the world.
