In his great classic self help book, "I Dare You" William Danforth indicates that 95% of all individuals lack the determination to call on their untapped potential. This overwhelming majority quickly settles for the status quo of mediocrity and reflects on their misfortune and bad breaks for the rest of their lives.
We speak to that 5% of forward moving individuals.
Turn your eyes toward your strength. Wake in the morning thinking of ways to do things rather than reasons why they cannot be done. Life is an affirmation. We must maintain a vigil against the
negative self talk and a commitment to the affirmative. We must learn
to "take no credit - take no blame" - inspirations come through us, not
from us.
It is your own personal truth that you can become interested in.
Each day a new discovery. Each day finding greater inspiration for your
life. You'll need to apply discipline so that you can find your core,
your true heart.
To live authentically means to know the truth. That part of you
that can transition from wealthy to poor without any loss. The same
part that can be with or without a lover. It is your deeper self. It is
connected to everything yet attached to nothing. How can it be
attached, it is formless.
Your deeper self is observant. That is why the laws of nature are so
important. They cut through layers of the ego.
To find your authenticity seems simple but my
experience is that people don't know the difference between their ego
and their true self. Our mind and heart can be clouded with
conditioning that we think, that what we think, is who we are.
Sometimes we live in the ego so long, we don't even know it exists.
Like a diving suit we forgot to take off: it becomes inseparable from
us. But you can separate the two. You are a master in the laws of
nature, you know, that anything that defies Natures Law is an ego mind
state.
Under the surface of your emotion is another you. It is behind your
senses, behind your mind. You can open yourself in your private time,
to get below the surface and find inspiration. Then line this up with
your ego-mind motivation. This is real human power.
iscipline of purpose. Here's one of my favourite poems
The core of masculinity does not derive from being male;
nor friendliness
from those who console:
Your old grandmother says
"maybe you shouldn't go to school.
You look a little pale"
Run when you hear those words:
A father's stern slaps are better
Your bodily soul wants comforting
The Severe father wants spiritual clarity;
He scolds but eventually leads you
into the open
Pray for the tough instructor.
To hear and act and stay within you
We have been busy accumulating solace
Make us afraid of how we were.
Rumi

This is the discipline. Learn the laws of nature and apply them
whenever the emotion reveal we are trapped in a false layer of reality.
When emotions get intense, come up to my cafe in the sky, use the laws
of nature to look back and put life in a real perspective. Don't be
trapped in a layer.
