When You Let Go Of What You Think You Should Become

By Evan Sanders


When you let go of what you believe you should be, what the world is trying to tell you to be, and listen to who you are way down inside - true magic happens. Everything is attempting to drag you into the middle where mediocrity lives. You really should be this way, dress this way, talk this way, like this music, do these things - the list grows for evermore.

The more you deeply express your thoughts, the further away from the standard you get, the more that you feel the gravity of that pull trying to bring you back in. The rest of the globe, as much as they revere those that innovate and change things, does not want you to become an outlier. But that's where most peoples passions live - on the fringes. Here's where genius lives. This is where vision and dreams live. These are the most unique places in life.

If decide that you are going to take a bit of a chance on those, you better be willing to feel the pressure from the giant outside forces of normality. I didn't actually understand that at the beginning. I thought that this force trying to bring me back in was the honest thing to do. Nonetheless in several cases I learned that the voice rustling deep inside of me was the honest thing to do because that's where my purpose and passion lives. If I ignored that I would be forever living in deep regret.

Follow what makes you leap out of bed in the morning. Follow what makes your heart light up. Those positive things will never send you in the wrong direction. They might send you into really challenging situations, but that is what in the territory. You need to be ready to seek that resistance and understand that once it shows up, you are in the right place to begin with.

Be happy to be different. Make the sacrifices it takes to see your dreams. You never can tell when you'll be taken from this place, so you might as well give yourself the best chance feasible to go out with a bang and begin to follow your dreams.

You Can't Yank A Flower To Make It Grow Faster

By Evan Sanders


There's an old saying that I love. It says something like - you can't yank on a flower to make it grow quicker.

How amazing is that?

Developing true patience must be one of the toughest things to have. But without patience, we don't give ourselves the real opportunity to see things fully through. Additionally, there are numerous things in this world that call for our patience and will only develop when we actually bring it into our lives. Sometimes there's half finished business we've got with someone or we are just giving something the time and space to grow and develop. Think about all of your dreams. Often, our dreams don't happen because we truly aren't yet the person who can really attain them. In reality that's practically always the case. We are not getting what we'd like so we can grow into the type of person we need to be to accomplish our grandest desires.

Patience is the key to granting our future to unfold in front of us without our projections onto it. Patience, is the facility to stay absolutely present in the time given to us while not trying to live forward.

This is hard. Really hard.

Most of the time we wish to make things turn out precisely in the way in which we see them in our mind. The real problem with this is that we are trying to control a time and place that is truly wild and free. Oftentimes, the future unfolds in a completely different set of methods than what we expected it to be. This isn't always always a horrible thing though. Rather, this can be a unreserved and real gift giving us what we actually needed instead of what we wanted. Wouldn't you rather just live in that place - a place of complete possibility and opportunity?

When we let go of what we think should happen in our lives we make allowance for life to really surprise us.

Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the appropriate time.
