How many of you have given any thought to what I just said. Most people are so preoccupied with life that they forget that there is so much more out there for them. My task today is to get you to understand the importance of your being, and just why you are hanging out in this moment.
It is a big world out there, and we are so much more then the tiny, itty biddy piece of land that we occupy. We have been sold a bill of goods that we are limited, and that just isn't the case. We only fail because we have allowed others to call it a failure. It's never a failure if you understand that you can always try it a different way, and experience a different outcome. If failure was a death sentence then none of us would be around right now. Failure, once again, is simply the opportunity to try it a different way.
It's a big world out there and each of you are just as worthy of greatness as anyone else around you. Problem is we have allowed others to dictate our success and of course identify our supposed failures. It is time that we forget about what others say and think, and begin to follow the perfect guidance that comes from within. The moment you realize how incredible you really are is the moment that things will turn around for you. I have said this a million times that your heart is incapable of lying to you. We know deep down what is right, but we allow others around us to lead us astray from our chosen path. When will you start believing that you have all you need to be successful? When will you realize that most of what we see is an illusion, and illusions are anything but real. When will you realize that you have a destiny? Your destiny is not an illusion. Your destiny is not something only meant for those who are born into riches or prominence. Your destiny is the reason you are here right now. We have to get away from the expectation of others and simply accept what is ours. We have to let go of the worries and the thoughts of regret and walk in our destiny.
It's a big world out there and you have a purpose. Whether you call it purpose or destiny matters not. I say this to so many people, you are not here just for the free popcorn. You do not simply occupy space for the sake of occupying space. Each of us has something to accomplish and until such time as you accept this there is going to be something inside of you continually prompting you to go after it. Now some people will say it is restlessness, others will call it indigestion, I call it destiny. That little burning ember that will not go out, and it will not let go. You may try to bury it, but it will never go away, and it will make it's presence known throughout your life. Think about it: that one idea that just won't go away. That feeling that there is more to your existence. That knowing that there is something out there for you. This is why you are here right now.
I'm not here to simply stir the pot, although there is some merit to that from time to time. I am here to motivate you to go after those dreams, to take a walk on the wild side, to realize that it is indeed a big world out there and you are here to change it. If you are wondering if you will ever discover what your purpose is, the answer is yes, but only if you desire that. Sadly there are many who will walk away from dreams, and leave ideas unfulfilled. There are others that will discourage you from going after your dreams, because most of them never went after their own. My dear friends, life is not simply going through each day doing the same thing. Life is not what others say it is, but what you know it is. The only way you are going to know what life is about is when you accept who and what you are. Life is so much more then the do's don'ts that others have shoved down your throat. Life is an experience, one that should be savored each day. Life is thrilling and full of opportunity and possibilities. If you are simply going through each day the way so many others go through life then you are going to wind up miserable like so many others. It is time that you grab life by the you know what and move on to those things you know to be true.
It's a big world out there, and out there is someone who needs what you have. Your special gifts were given to you so you might give them to others. If you think otherwise you need to step back and think. Think about why you are here, what you can do, and why you should do it. Think about those lives that will be changed by your kindness, your smile, your actions, and your love. We are not here simply to occupy space, we are here to change the world, one person at a time.
To those who believe they do not have the time to help someone else, they have missed the boat. When we forget about others we have placed ourselves above the rest, and that I can tell you is a very dangerous place to be. Lets face facts: there are many people out in the world today who care for nothing else but themselves. They will say they care about their family, but to everyone else, they need to take care of themselves. This is not the way things should be. We should care for others just as much as we care for our own self. Showing compassion and love is every bit as important as your next victory. Coming in first place is meaningless if you have forgotten to display love and compassion to those around you.
It's a big world out there and there are people who need you. Take a few moments and simply think about those around you and what they might be going through. Allow love and compassion to engulf you, and then transfer it to someone else. There can never be too much love in the world. There can never be too much compassion. Those who think there is are the ones who have never been given it from others. When you have been the recipient of love and compassion it is always easier to give it back to someone else. The world is a big place, but we can make it more beautiful if we will give of ourselves to someone in need. The world is not so big, the universe is not so expanding, that it couldn't use a little more love. Give from your heart and see if things don't brighten up for you in a very big way.
