The Promised Land
The promised land is a state of mind.
What do you choose to believe in? Is it things that already exist, things you can touch and smell and see, or is it impossibilities?
The people I know living full lives, lives full of power, they choose to believe in impossibilites.
My friend the internet marketer, who started out from nothing. Making a few hundred dollars a month. He got stuck here, for a year. Finally, he chose to believe he could make $10,000 a month with his tiny business. Within a few months, he made that $10,000 in one month. He believed in another impossibility, and he now makes that in a day.
My friend who is riding is bicycle across America. He started out a frustrated liquor store clerk who could barely pay rent. He choose to believe he could ride his bicycle across America. Now he is on his way towards becoming another philosopher king, another source of great power and goodness in the world. And he’s more than half-way done in his ride across America.
My friends who believed they could have a band, that they could become famous and successful without compromising their artistic integrity. Their label bailed out on them at the last moment, and they had to borrow money to make their latest record. Now their record is doing incredibly well, a much better label bought it, and they’re touring the world. They are living the impossible dream.
You see, rational dreams have no gravity behind them. Nobody wants to help out that liquor store clerk who just wants to pay his bills on time. We must get incredibly bold and daring dreams, in order to live life fully. Everybody wants to help out the young man attempting to ride his bike across america, or the young band who doesn’t compromise their integrity.
The universe and god want people who grab the impossible with two hands. It does not want people who settle for less, because that is what’s more rational.
What is your impossibility? What incredible dreams do you keep hidden from the world?
So don’t dream small dreams. Don’t dream rational plans. Build your world in the sky. The whole universe will be behind you.
