There are about 7.5 billion people in the world right now, each one of us living according to our priorities. Here are a couple of things I’ve said about priorities:
One thing that we might learn as we travel along our individual lane in life is that it doesn’t help to compare what we’re doing with what someone else is doing or what we’ve accomplished with what they’ve accomplished. It’s a wonderful thing to appreciate the work and accomplishment of others but to compare it with ours is to risk devaluing our unique and vital presence and path in life.
Don’t compare the successes and accomplishments of others with the life you’ve not yet lived. That life is still within you regardless of what anyone else has done or will do. That life is yours to live. You are it. Live it.
It is to risk thinking that we want the kind of ‘success’ they have or the ‘power of influence’ they have or the wealth or abilities they have, or their productivity and their insights. It is to risk believing that we want these things for ourselves when what we really want, what we most deeply, relentlessly, naturally and unthinkingly want is to FEEL ALIVE.
And what does that mean?
I think it means wanting to explore and express all that goodness and wonderfulness within us, something that this conditioned existence has made us afraid of doing.
Something that children do without a moment’s thought.
Something that we all did once for we were once children ourselves.
Something that is still bubbling inside of us unless we become so good at suppressing it.
Something that makes us feel secretly excited and aroused when we let it out, even to the tiniest degree.
Something that we are naturally and effortlessly born to be.
Friends, don’t compare the successes and accomplishments of others with the life you’ve not yet lived. That life is still within you regardless of what anyone else has done or will do. That life is yours to live. You are it. Live it.
Don’t waste another moment comparing. Just start to explore within yourself all the dreams and desires you’ve been hiding away, afraid to acknowledge. Just let them out of their prison and know that they only arise from the goodness and wonderfulness of Life, of You! Then let them guide you to express them in the way that only you can. That’s right:
The way that only you can.
