"Set your sights high – the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way."- Eileen Caddy.
I am all for setting my sights high and always looking to going higher despite the all very present inability to scale most times.
We live in a world where possibilities are hindered by the availability of complex situations designed by society to hamper even the most hard working and dedicated individuals.
Society, (like the one I live in) has brainwashed so many to believe that there can never be a "now gratification" for them if they dare to dream. The ability to earn has been pegged to certain jobs, careers and trades and sickly designed to be seen as the only types anywhere in the world.
For instance, to be someone of any kind of relevance, you either are a politician, a politician's relative, a fraudster, a silver spoon kid born to a corrupt father or someone who just happens on the scene.
Breaking even can be hard and this has made many to program themselves to wait for the "FUTURE" with more than 90% never to get the future of their dreams and it is simple, they stopped living and enjoying the now.
When you put aside the now, you will with your own hands, destroy the foundation for a pot of gold future.
Have you noticed how hard it gets when you think you can start that new business only to discover that the economy isn't as encouraging as you thought it would?
Have you been in that situation where after taking that bold step, you decided to stop trying because results just stopped coming despite the back breaking efforts you put in?
I know we all talk and dream of the future like its a pot of gold. Yes, it is a pot of gold no doubt but I believe that the enjoyment starts from now. You cannot keep pushing aside what you can do now to get results for a future that isn't certain.
Understanding that your now is what will determine that pot of gold, is what will make you have a bright future. The future is not some unknown destination, it starts from now and the now is what leads to the future.
Make your Now count. Set your sights high and do not stop at the lowest; wonderful stuffs are sure to happen, (good or bad so expect that nothing can be too good or bad), the process for moving from one step to the other makes it possible for the introduction of the impossible and possible. Expect a fair doze of the fears, difficulties and hardship and when they do come, you will be able to manage them no matter how long it tarries.
