Maybe there is some wisdom here we need to get a hold of. Anything in this world we put more of our body mind soul and spirit into, than where they should be, stands "chance" of being ripped out of our hands. And, when ripping is over we realize we were only a day late and a dollar short.

A Word To The Wise!

That's when we get into this syndrome; If only, If only, If only; stage of regrets. Well, what's answer? It can be very difficult to walk a very fine line of between adequate commitment and self-serving irresponsibility. And, sometimes we have crossed that line long before we realize it.

Then only way we find out where we are is when dream is losing that "look of success". If a dream is in danger of slipping away from you, first thing I would do is an honest assessment of my commitment to it. Contrary to popular opinion, you can destroy your own dreams by setting them up as idols in your life.

I know I've done it. No one is slick enough to always know when they have crossed line between adequate commitment and self-serving irresponsibility, so don't expect to. But, look at your behavior and most of time you can tell. I warn you; it's very difficult to ease off if you think you have crossed line, because of your existing momentum

Pain In The Neck!

Most of time, dream itself will have to back you off by showing you signs of hopelessness; not a very empowering feeling. You will see small personality changes such as: over aggressiveness, temper outbursts, no time for anyone else, everyone else is wrong, and constantly thinking about money or lack of it.

If any of these personality traits seem to be exhibiting themselves in you, I would bet a dollar to a doughnut you have an idol in your life. There is something that you have given your body mind and soul to and it's turning around to bite you.

Remember earlier in this article when we talked about person who ended up with dream you wanted and seemly didn't even have to lift a finger to get it? It just dropped in their lap. Do you see now what might have happened? It was one of those paradoxes of life that makes about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine...

Lighter Than Air!

It was not an idol to them. They were not possessed to point of selling out every thing else in life that has meaning. So, dream just flowed naturally and easily in their direction. Will it always happen this way? Don't you wish?

But, I can leave you with this final thought. Any dream that you are pursuing right now that seems to possess your soul, turn down fiery furnace of desire. And, even if you don't achieve it, you won't risk turning your personality into a Frankenstein. And, who knows, it just might drop in your lap.

After introducing myself and thanking him, I asked him how he had come to lead such an exemplary life. He looked around to make sure no one else was listening and in a low voice he said following: "Both my parents were alcoholics, and both of them were physically abusive to me.I grew up never knowing what bad thing would happen next. I learned from my parents that worst possible way to deal with pain and uncertainty of life was to escape into an altered state of alcohol induced euphoria. My parents taught me a difficult but very important lesson. I learned from them that staying present in moment is only real chance we have for living a fulfilling life."

What a truly great example of embodied spirit motivational speaker offers us. The quality of our life is not dependent on circumstances we encounter. The quality of our life is dependent on what we learn from circumstances we encounter. Perhaps greatest example of this wisdom is present in life of Nelson Mandela. He is a man that suffered great pain and hardship, and somehow his suffering seasoned his soul in a way that has led him to be compassionate and caring.

In course of exploring how to live our life more fully we can consider pondering one question over and over again, "What can I learn from difficulties I am experiencing, that will actually ADD to quality of my life?" At very least we can begin to entertain fact that: We can derive a wide range of learning from any single circumstance, event, or relationship. When we get most stuck in life is when we believe that one thing we did learn is only thing that can be learned.
