Adversity in life… no matter what it is… will become a reference point and no longer your focal point. This transformation of the central theme of your life from one of mediocrity or even despair to one of hope is all powerful and capable of bringing to you whatever seems to be missing in your life. This new central orientation for your life must be meaningful to you. It may suit the needs of others, but serves only you. If others share your enthusiasm… terrific, but if they do not, still keep your passion for it. If it is purposeful to you, then it is capable of shifting your center of focus towards it and away from the difficulties and distractions in your life. This is critical. Because if it is not meaningful to you (even if it is well intentioned, financially substantial or generally appreciated) it will serve as another false choice for you and bring little compared to your true potential. When a pursuit is purposeful it generates an energy which is required for overcoming obstacles, adversity, self-doubt and fear. Without this purposeful connection the courage and persistence required for any significant accomplishment is usually not “worth” demonstrating. But if you pursue something that is magnificent to you… courage abounds. Perhaps as important this energy will fuel your personal growth giving you access to hidden mental attributes that will allow you to use your mind in a way that makes you smarter, more confident and more creative. These are the traits of all people who accomplish significance and while they may not be a consistent part of your life… they soon will be. When you are inseparably attached to a purposeful outcome, the thought of not seeing it through is a much worse experience than the fear of overcoming anything standing in your way. Remember This: What you pursue determines your next thoughts and behaviors. Don’t know what it is that you would rather be doing with your life? I’ll bet you would very quickly if you just stopped engaging in thoughts and activities which fail you. Most opt for distractions to relieve the pressure of needing to deal with this lack of awareness. Do you think that suppressing your conscious awareness of what you desire relieves your accountability for not possessing it? The subconscious mind is not so generous. In fact it is more likely that the subconscious mind will use this knowledge as a basis for torment over your life. I will be so bold as to state emphatically that each person must pursue what they deem to be precious. If they do… they will posses it. If they do not… they will be tormented by it.
