Faster Than The Speed Of Thought

Relax Your Mind And Remember…
As the images flash in front of your eyes, you find your thoughts drifting back to a time in your childhood when you were running in the grass and laughing.
The wind is gentle and softly brushing across your face. You are thinking about all of the amazing things that you are going to be as you someday grow up and embark in your unique and enigmatic journey around the world.
Your mind jerks back to the present and then is thrust back into a time when you had your shoes off and were walking barefoot through the sand. As the tiny grains slide against your toes, you snap once again into the present moment, remembering what it is like to dream again.
The constructs of reality are simple, and though they often seem to be absolute, at moments you realize that you can bend them to your very will. Your universe is clay, resting softly in your hands, and it seems to mold itself into form simply by the power of thought.
You can bend your universe by the power of your will.
In a single moment, you realize your greatness.
You may notice a tear gently caressing the corner of your eye as you take a deep breath and feel a rush of power go through your body as a flame cutting through a dim lit horizon.
A voice cries out and yells from the inside out…
I realize I have one chance to make a difference. I have one life to live, and there’s no do-overs. When I have an opportunity in front of me, I seize it, and when somebody that has what I want reaches their hand out, I reach back.
I choose to live…”
You are here for a reason.
Somebody believes in you.
It’s your time to live.
Here’s what its about, its about you.”
This is the kind of thing I teach in The Daily Shortcut: one short episode a day, free. Send Me Episode One →
Decisions are a funny thing because you actually make them in the subconscious brain before you are even aware that you have made them consciously.
Literally, decisions that you have just made will shortly be transferred into your conscious mind as you are molding your future faster than the speed of thought.
Your mind drifts once again to the time when you were a child, with your feet in the grass, and you knew that you were in the right place at the right time.
You have cracked your universe, and now all that is left is to decide and become.
Here’s what its about, it’s about you.
It’s time to decide to dream again.
Destroy the constructs of reality, and bear witness to the power that is you, as your destiny comes into fruition through the manifestation of a single act.
Be the flame on the horizon.
It’s your time to shine.
You have one life to live…
