ONE THING IS CERTAIN:

WE'RE ALL MAKING OUR WAY

THROUGH THIS LIFE.

WE CAN CHOOSE TO TRULY LIVE AND EXPERIENCE, OR SIMPLY DRIFT ALONG.

JOYFUL ACCEPTANCE, OR WILLFUL DENIAL?

The story of Perseus symbolizes the triumph of good over evil by overcoming challenges and facing your fears. What is it that you fear most?
Establishing boundaries?
Taking the risk?
Being the black sheep?

This is your journey, your experience, shift your perspective:

Stand up for yourself.

Take the initiative.

Be a pioneer.

Perseus, son of Zeus (ruler of the sky and the gods), and Danae (mortal) was cast off to sea in a wooden chest out of King Acrisius' fear that he would one day grow up & kill him. Perseus grew up with humility and raised by a fisherman father. In which he became strong, intelligent, and did not take advantage of his "godhood." 
When the time came and he was tasked by King Polydectes to bring him the head of Medusa he began his quest filled with trails, tribulations, and gifts from the gods.

Through the journey, the path seems unclear, theres tosses and turns, ups and downs, or no path at all. But the mission remains the same.

To triumph.

When there is no path.

Create one.

When there is a crossroads.

Make a decision and stick to it.

When times are tough.

Embrace the pain.

When times are good.

Take them with grace.

Our life is a journey of choices, intentional, unconscious, or influenced, yet all of which shape our reality. Often at times we question,

"Is this truly the way?"

"Why am I doing this?"

"Who have I become?"

When in doubt, carry it out.

In the beginning there was the word....... We were created in the like image of God.......

Thus in turn we are of God so must act Godly, anything otherwise creates friction, controversy, and unalignment.

When in doubt, carry it out.

Carry what out?

Your mission.

What is your call to arms?

What is it that sparks fire into your heart and soul?

Is your life merely to pay the bills and live in the cyclical pattern society has engrained into you? Are you just existing as you were instructed to?

There's this recent new world market standard that the consumer will "own nothing and be happy." We have willfully given away our freedoms for temporary pleasures that we pay into in order to match the status quo.

You rent your streaming service.

You rent your home. (unless paid off, yet still pay taxes)

You rent your car. (unless paid off, yet still need insurance and gas)

You rent your gym membership.

You rent your connectivity.

You rent everything you put on a credit card. (unless paid off, and this strategy can work efficiently if you don't carry a balance and pay everything off, build healthy credit, rack up points, leverage your cash with the power of credit).

The further down the rabbit hole we go, the more interesting it seems. The more money you earn the more it can easily escape you. I have said before "what good is all the money in the world if you can't manage it." Getting back on track, let's switch this up:

With all the freedom in the world, how would you manage it?

We weren't put here to work soul draining jobs, 

We weren't put here to envy and to hate,

We weren't put here to seek the approval of others.

We were put here to:

 Create

Take action

&

Be Good

To make manifest the glory of God.

You have everything you need within you, when the path feels the most daunting, that's exactly when you take the leap. When you are unsure between two decisions, make one and go for it (with awareness & diligence). When you are fearful, be brave.

When in doubt carry it out.

Carry out your mission, joyfully accept & embrace your path. For willfully denying anything otherwise will keep you from your purpose (That feeling of being stuck). Is that really how you want to live? Like a hamster going in circles and circles getting nowhere? Thats insanity. 

It's perfectly sane to be different and carve your path. For who want's to be normal? 

You aren't a cookie cutter image of what society desires. You are the miraculous creation of God, that through the countless: famines, sickness, wars, migrations and travesties. 

You are here.

Now go forward.

Create...

Take Action...

...

BE GOOD. LIVE ABUNDANTLY.
