Is it free will or destiny that shapes what lies before us? We choose and enact our destiny by our choices, wisdom and faith. Destiny doesn’t grapple with our free will or inner peace, it calls us through the every day choices we make along our physical trail. The more we become aligned with the divine, the greater the destiny and life that lies before us. Danny G.
Day follows After Night
Day follows after night, just as the adversities pass by, then it’s success. Don’t remain stuck on the night time storm, remain steadfastly focused on your dream, speak about it, and let your action steps be an indication of your unwavering faith and persistence. Danny G.
Realizing Your Power Within
Stop running from your challenges and adversities, for they will keep springing back up as long as you give them power. You give them power by bowing down to them in fear and intimidation. You cause them to morph by realizing your power within and having unwavering faith. Don’t show them your infirmities, recognize the spiritual warrior you’re destined to be. Danny G.
Safe Haven
The divine will keep you safe as you tread mountains and dark valleys. Trust in his power, in his guiding light to lead you to a safe haven. Don’t doubt his power when fear comes knocking at your door. Have faith that he will cause you to overcome and triumph. Danny G.
Always A Solution
Would God, the one who created the universe and is the universe, not have every answer and solution to your every concern? Would the infinite intelligence not have the capability and power to bring about your greatest desires? You block this power by giving in to fear, pessimism and bitterness, and you allow this power when you act out of faith, love and wisdom. Danny G.
Walking on A Thin Line
I watched a movie recently and I was fascinated by it. It’s called “The Walk” and it’s a true story. It’s the story of Philippe Petit, a wire walker, who walked between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York in 1974 on a thin line.
I was fascinated by his focus and technique in achieving such a task. He was fearless, and he went through such intense training to achieve his dream. As practice, before walking between the World Trade Center, he tried everything on a wire. He walked on a wire while his friends were deliberately shaking the wire, because he knew if it was windy, he would need to practice walking under these conditions. He walked with his hands behind his back to practice balance. Most wire walkers use a poll that they hold horizontally to keep their balance. He practiced laying down on the wire and standing back up. He practiced wire walking endlessly under any and all conditions.
There was also a lot of investigating by himself and his colleagues to find the best procedure of achieving the walk. Investigating included making sure the wire was securely fastened, and stable enough despite the wind and pressure.
To add more stress to the plan, when investigating, he ended up walking on a plank with a nail sticking out. The nail went through his foot only two weeks before the walk. Despite his girlfriend saying he should not walk with his injury, as many would have said, he persevered and remained steadfast to his dream. When he performed the walk of the Trade Center, blood was still seeping through his sock. He was so fixated on his dream, and confident he could do it, that he didn’t allow anybody else to convince him otherwise.
Most of his friends who were involved in the planning stages thought from time to time he was losing his mind. He on the other hand, had faith that it could be done, and the minute doubt started creeping in, he returned to his dream. The twin towers were approximately 546m in height and the two towers were approximately 200 feet apart. He decided to perform the walk without a harness, so one misstep, or lack of focus, and he would fall 546m on the grounds of New York.
We all know wire walking requires tremendous precision and focus. One of his friends and colleagues said everyone that were involved in the planning stages thought at one point that he could fall, but the difference was they had faith in him and they knew it could be done. They wouldn’t allow their thoughts to become an expectation.
He ended up performing the walk and making headlines all over the world. There were moments he laid down on the wire, and there were moments he saluted his audience on the grounds of New York. He walked across the towers several times while his friends were taking photos of him in astonishment.
The point of the story I’m trying to make, is what appeared impossible became reality because one man believed, he persevered and he didn’t give in. Almost everyone who accomplished great things had risks involved, and some people such as Phillip Petit even risked death for it.
Take this insight and memoir and see how it can help you in your life. It’s not very likely you’ll walk on a wire 546m high, and you may even think it’s unwise, as many would believe the same. But look at your own life and know if one man or many beat the odds, so can you. If one man could walk on a thin wire with such precision and focus over 500m in the air, and salute his audience, what can you do with your life?
We all have a body, and we all have a spirit inside us, interconnected to everything in the universe. Use this memoir for your own life. What do you want to do with your life? What are your gifts? What gives you passion and joy? Phillip Petit’s faith, determination, and perseverance can be used in your own life for your own endeavors. Faith, determination and perseverance all comes from within, so you can seek it and claim it yours. Seek inward and you’ll find your calling as Petit found it, and succeeded. With enough faith and persistence you’ll see it through, as the great minds of our time achieved greatness with unwavering faith.
Define Who You Truly Are
You are not a slave to your circumstances, environment or conditions. You’re a deliberate creator in this physical plane destined to leave a mark on this generation. Don’t allow the adversities to shape you, speak to them, and allow your reaction to define who you truly are. Danny G.
Programmed the Right Way
Over time we get programmed with mistranslations, misconceptions and contradictions. Mistranslations are beliefs and expectations that have lost their essential meaning. Misconceptions are beliefs and expectations not based on solid truth. Contradictions are beliefs and expectations that have been thwarted from its previous meaning.
We listen to the world around us and little by little, we become programmed with lies. Some knowledge is beneficial, other knowledge are preconceived notions we picked up along our physical trail.
Slowly and gradually we move into others perceptions of reality, and we claim it as ours. Their perception has nothing to do with us, but we call it our own. The more we feed ourselves with these lies, the more we become entrenched in this vicious cycle of life.
Take a step back and assess your emotions. Listen to your feelings and realize if these thoughts create inner peace and wisdom, or confusion and pessimism. God speaks to us through a spirit of peace and mental clarity. He speaks to us through wisdom and inspiration. He’s not a source of confusion or pessimism.
What good can you do in a constant state of confusion and pessimism? Can you uplift others? Can you motivate your loved ones? Confusion creates frustration, uneasiness and poor choices. Pessimism creates unresolved anger, fears of every type and a negative outlook on life.
Eventually this negative thinking wears you out and you become battle fatigue, so much that it’s difficult to summon the enthusiasm to get up. This negative energy has a way of causing exhaustion, sickness and burnouts.
Out of peace, all answers lies. Out of peace springs forth all wisdom. Isn’t it easier to think when your mind is at peace? Isn’t it easier to understand when your mind is at peace? Wisdom combined with inspiration has a way of manifesting your deepest desires.
When you align your thoughts, words and actions with the wisdom of God, you allow the inspiration to lead the way, and surely in time you will arrive at your destination. Don’t allow confusion and pessimism to lead the way, and don’t allow misconceptions and preconceptions to find their way indefinitely in your heart and soul.
Quiet your mind, and find that spirit of stillness and tranquility. In time your strength and vitality will be rejuvenated and replenished. You’ll find that special calling to your happiness and success, and you’ll know it’s destined to be.
The Space Of Inner Peace
Persistence, wisdom and faith does not fail. If you continue to seek inward, and choose wisely in your thoughts, words and actions, inevitably you’ll arrive at your destination. You cannot get the opposite of what you’re projecting, so be still, and find that space of inner peace where all is well, and everything is working together for your highest good. Danny G.
The Blessings Of Aging
Not accepting aging is not accepting the inevitable perpetuation of life. Life has many seasons, and every season has a purpose within, if you simply listen. Aging is inevitable but declining is optional. The best means of accepting aging is embracing the wisdom, peace of mind, and prosperity that comes with age. Danny G.
