Stage 1 is where everything begins and everything ends.
One of the most powerful things you can learn is to become comfortable being uncomfortable.
I am who I am because of the way we all are.
So who are you?
You are the only one in your whole life that you spend all your time with.
Are you just a body?
Just your habits and memories?
What if you were something more?
But how would you know if you were something deeper if you keep getting in your own way?
You are always the problem, you are always the solution.
Lao Tsu, a chinese philosopher, once said...
"If I let go of who I am, I become who I might be."
Who might you be?
Are you ready for an adventure of a lifetime?
Because when you take this next step, there is no turning back.
Heart
Without curiosity, one never seeks.
It's only when one seeks, that they can discover possibility.
The only way to become aware of another way of living is to nurture your curiosity.
It sounds simple, too simple.
Although, it's deeper than you may first believe.
Without curiosity, possibilities remain as such, only possibilities.
It takes a curious mind to shape a possibility into a reality.
Curiosity stems from desire and desire from care.
Curiosity is the active state of seeking new information.
Desire is the feeling of wanting something you don't have in the present moment.
Care is a reflection of what is important to you, based upon the level of interest in that which you care about. The higher the level of care, the more likely you're to take action and for that action to increase in significance.
If you care about status and prestige, you may desire a luxurious house and car and become curious enough to learn how you can satisfy your desires.
If you care about your health, you may desire a fitter body, which sparks your curiosity to discover a better way to eat and exercise.
If you care about your freedom, you may desire to travel, which then ignites your curiosity to find a way you can explore the world.
It's hard not to say that what you care about comes from your heart.
When most people express that they care about something, they feel it in their heart.
How much curiosity can you feel in your heart?
Is there enough to look beyond the veil of what seems to be true, but may not be?
What do you care enough about to change from a possibility to a reality?
What does your heart tell you?
