“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”- Henry David Thoreau
Until you realise that you are the one who must give yourself permission to live the life you deserve, you will miss out on a great life and person you could have been. Most people never realise that the time is always ripe to do right. Until you say: I’ve had it; I am sick of this; this is the last time I ever carry tiny and little dreams that don’t challenge me; I am really sick and tired of being sick and tired! Until you say these words and really mean them, you will forever be stuck in a life of mediocrity. You will always do just enough to survive and continue to tip-toe through life.
Thoreau added that if you confidently push forward, you will automatically put some things behind you and pass some invisible boundaries. New, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within you or the old laws will be expanded and interpreted in your favour in a more liberal sense. You will live with the licence of a higher order of beings. This simply means that we must walk by faith and not by sight, which is a bible version of this. In order to live a life you have never lived, you have to become a person you’ve never been, period.
Give yourself permission to live the life you deserve. You are the one you have been waiting for all along, not better and favourable conditions. There is no someone else to do it for you, but you. I believe in your specialness and uniqueness – that’s what the world needs.
