Hey friend,
You may think that life is a certain way,
Has certain characteristics, or tendencies.
No doubt, there are a set of universal laws that govern life
But the truth is, we don’t experience life
We experience our relationship to life.
We experience the collection of beliefs & habits that we have created with life.
Some people experience life as a mundane, mostly boring, repetitive existence
Some people experience everyday as a new adventure
Take a man like Richard Branson.
Consider some of things that he has done…
- The World Record For Fastest Atlantic Crossing
- Summited Mont Blanc (Europe’s Highest Peak)
- He’s been into Orbit and He’s Launched A Space Program (Virgin Galactic)
- He Owns His Own Island and hosts incredible events for entrepreneurs
-He Kite-Surfed Across The English Channel With His Son
-He’s Crossed The Pacific From Japan To Arctic Canada In A Hot Air Balloon
- All the while becoming a billionaire entrepreneur with 400 companies under the Virgin name.
Now, all of these things are incredibly impressive, however consider that the most impressive thing, isn’t any of the individual achievements, but the relationship to life that allows him to create and experience so much.
Most people get overwhelmed if they have a busy week of social events, work and a mini crisis or two.
Consider all the moving parts in a life like his and how is able to move through it all with a relative ease.
Its not money that allows you to do all of those things, its a way of being that allows you to live a life like that.
And thats the relationship to life that I want to create.
To be able to have, do, and be it all.
To be able to create & experience whatever I desire.
