Relax, breath, and know.

Knowing is something many people struggle with.  Knowing that tomorrow will bring new opportunity.  Knowing that everything will eventually turn out all right.  Knowing that you will accomplish your dreams.  Knowing that you are in the right place doing what you were placed here to do.  Once you get to the place where you know that you know, then the whole world takes on a new appearance, a new perspective, and you begin to live the life you have always dreamt about.

However, it is damned difficult sometimes to be in this place of knowing.  It's not that you don't want to know, it's not that you don't have the ability to know, and it's not even that you have forgotten what you don't know.  In reality it's simply that you have yet to grasp the concept of who you are.  Herein lies the one thing that stops people in their own tracks.  Herein lies the reason most people fail at their dreams, and herein lies the reason why people give up and head in a different direction:  they simply have stopped believing.

They do not believe that good things are just as much for them as for anyone else.  They have stopped expecting good fortune to tap them on the shoulder and offer assistance.  Today I want to show you that you are just as deserving, just as worthy, and just as special, as anyone else, and if they can have the blessings of this world, then so can you.  If happiness, peace, and joy have been absent in your life up to this point, then this will be the day that you regain those things that were intended for you, but for whatever reason you have been unable to grasp.

It is time to relax, take a deep breath and know that you are in the right place at the right time, and nothing that has transpired to date has been for nought.  Many experiences may have been painful and hurtful, but even those things that have caused us pain, have taught us something.  What I desire for you today is for you to begin to fully understand, or at least begin to accept that you are, as I have said so many times in the past, a divine creation.  Within this divinity of yours is the same divinity which emanates from that which created you.  You inability to see this stems from the years and years of conditioning that mankind has placed upon you.  I don't doubt that many people who have spoken untruths about man's true essence had good intentions, but even good intentions can be wrong.  We have allowed ourselves to believe in things that simply are not true, and quite literally have sidetracked too many individuals from ever taking their rightful place in this world.

If failure was the death nail, then I would have been gone long ago.  Failure is nothing more than being given another opportunity to do something right.  It is giving you another chance to do it better, or do it where it will truly change the lives of others, which should be the motivation in all that we do anyway.  You only fail when you give up on your dreams and simply turn your back on them and never give them thought again.  As Kathy Witten says, "Your dream doesn't have an expiration date." Failure to realize that you deserve to walk in your dreams is nothing more than a lack of realization that you are worthy of walking in those things that would truly make you happy.

I have been talking about you, the real you for the last few days.  I have tried to paint for you a picture of who you really are, and not necessarily how you see yourself, or how the world has depicted you in the past.  Failure to understand the greatness of your design, the perfection of your creation, and the reason you have been placed here, is what sidetracks most people from ever walking in their destiny.  If you give up on your dreams, which are the stepping stones to your destiny, then you will never get to point where you fully understand why you were placed here in the first place.  Now let me say this:  if you don't care to find out why you were put here, then there is no reason for you to worry about anything, because there is nothing that I can say or write that will make you think otherwise.  I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, but that is because there will always be this little something that will be eating away at you until the time of your last breath, and that little thing will be the wondering of what could have been.

It is time to relax, take that deep breath, and know that you are on the right track, you are just where you need to be, and your destiny will make itself known to you.  Your presence in this moment is all the proof you will ever need to understand that your being here right now is not a mistake.  Your presence here right now should be the one thing that puts a smile on your face because were it not for you being here, then you would have no destiny.  Knowing your purpose, knowing your destiny will come in time, if it hasn't been disclosed to you already.  Once you know your purpose then there will be a newness to you, and all those things that used to get you bogged down in life will seem to fall to the wayside and things will get a little easier.  Find your center, discover the real you, and allow yourself the chance to take a deep breath and accept the fact that things will be as they need to be.  You will never change your purpose, so you might as well take some time to discover it and accept it.  Trust me, walking away from your purpose is not wisdom.  Walking in your purpose may not always be easy, but the ups and downs you may experience will never compare to the downright awfulness of walking away from your destiny.  So relax, take a deep breath, and know that there is order in the universe and you will be where you need to be when you need to be there.
