Our soul is the guiding force of our lives and it
is only you who has the awareness of your soul’s desire. An awareness that at
many times you may not be mindful of, which often occurs when the soul
disconnects from self.As a self-proclaimed blogger, it is my own disappointment
in myself that it has been over a month since I wrote my last blog post. I
broke a rule I set for myself to never go over two weeks without writing a
post.
lack of
writing hasn’t been because of a lack of inspiration or that I didn’t had
anything to say. Life got in the way. Although that’s not an excuse not to
continue to pursue something that I know, deep down, is what my heart
desires.Yet, it can be contributed to the disconnect between my soul and self,
as I’ve been ignoring my own personal legend. Life will get in the way, but we
must not let life disrupt what our heart truly desires.
It is my desire to use writing as a form of
expression and to inspire. It is my desire to tell my story in the best form of
communication that I am capable of. It is my desire to listen to my heart, for
each word typed, is inspired by it.If you aren’t doing what you know you are
supposed to be doing. Or if you aren’t following your dreams and pursuing your
passion, you are not fulfilling your personal legend.
Each personal
legend is unique to your identity, your dreams, and to where you want to go.
“To realize one’s
destiny is a person’s only obligation” The Alchemist.
The destination of where we want to go is often defined as a dream. You
should live each day so that it gets you one step closer to that dream and destination.
The past few weeks, or even months,
I’ve done a lot of reflecting.It is important to know and remember where you
are and whom you are in order to get to where you want to be and whom you want
to be.
“And, when you want
something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” The
Alchemist.
Nothing worth having ever comes easy. If you want
something, you have to be prepared to risk it all. You have to get rid of all
doubt and ignore your fears.
But if you think big, listen to your heart and dedicate
your life to achieving whatever it may be, the universe will always reward you
with attainment.But know this, you will fail. Failure is a part of the process.
As when you work out and lift weights, it is the failure that makes it possible
for you to grow. You have to be broken down in order get back up stronger.
“The secret of life,
though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times” The Alchemist.
Be inspired.For it is only up to you to become the best
possible version of yourself.Like the young boy, you will run into obstacles
that you didn’t plan or account for. Each obstacle is stepping stone, an
opportunity to build on, and a step closer to your personal legend.
3) Maktub: It is written
There is another theme in the
Alchemist, or saying, which is Maktub. Maktub is translated to “it is written”.
That all of your actions are in the context of fate, which God has written.
In a very simple manner, maktub can also be
translated to “everything that happens, happens for a reason”. “That our paths
are already outlined for us to follow. That our fate is written within the
universe.”To me, Maktub means that we must not let fear and most importantly,
the fear of failure, to get in the way of our own pursuit of our personal
legend. For it is written, and what is meant to be, will be.
You should not let fear get
in the way. Maktub. Some things are meant to be; everything is indeed
pre-written. Everything that happens is for a reason.
“No matter what he does,
every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And
normally he doesn’t know it” The AlchemistEverything that we do, everyone that we come across, and each lesson
learned is a part of the story of the universe. A story that has been already
written, but it is our duty, to contribute to it.
For in the grand scheme of things, we are just
participants in life. However, we still have our duty to ourselves to pursue
all and everything that is unique to us.
On your journey of your personal legend, remain
focused on your goal. As your destiny is written in fate and everything is
written in the soul of the world.
4) “It’s the simple things in life that are
the most extraordinary”.
To be different is the greatest and simplest thing
that we can do.
For being different is being yourself, it is the
realization that you are your own unique you. To be different is to realize
that your personal legend is yours and yours only.
You are you. This makes you unique, as nobody else
has your experiences. Nobody else is you and that is your power.Very few of us
are lucky enough to be doing what we actually love doing. We strive for status
in society and participate in the rat race. A major part of life is spent
trying to please others.
Pursue your dreams, passionately, and with your
heart. Live the life that you want to live, work the job that you want work,
and don’t let anyone knock you off of your own path. As the key to happiness is
the satisfaction of being able to do all that you love doing.Be inspired to be
different. Dare to be different. Do not let the fear of others opinions dictate
your actions. This life to live is yours.
Think for yourself and think big, as thoughts
become things.Life comes with its twist and turns. It is never a straight line.
If it is, you aren’t living or fulfilling your personal legend. As to pursue
your personal legend you will have obstacles. Each obstacle is an opportunity
to learn from and about yourself.
If there is anything that I want us to take away
from this post it is this:
- Be passionate.
- Be you.
- Don’t be afraid to fail.
- Overcome fear.
- Follow your personal legend.
- Maktub, it is written, “what you seek, is seeking you” Rumi.
