As a child, I read an autobiography of Annie Sullivan.
She was
the woman who brought Helen Keller out of her dark and silent
world and into a place of understanding few of us in the hearing
and seeing world fully grasp. I decided I wanted to become a
teacher for people like Helen. I wanted to bring lightness and
sound into people's lives.
What did you want to do as a child? Remember how it felt to fully
believe that you could be an astronaut, the President or Prime
Minister, an Academy Award winning Actress, an Olympian?
Helen Keller made this suggestion to people as they worked
towards making their goals real, and I would like to add a variation
to her theme. "It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to
our
powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a
great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel
toward our distant goal." I would assert one step further,
that
your goal not be in the distance, but rather be in each moment of
each day. In choosing an overall life where your heart is in sync
with your dreams and actions, the power and intention of each day
creates an effect of natural movement towards the life of your
dreams, a life of empowerment for you and those around you, a
life mapped by your destiny.
Know that this is entirely possible for you, starting today.
Instead
of saying immediately, "Oh, I can't do that! No way!" ask
yourself
instead, "How can I live my destiny?" I challenge you to
take the
first few simple steps. Begin integrating these into your life
today
and watch what unfolds in the process.
What if you believed completely that no task was too big for you
to complete? Accept this as truth. There is nothing that is
too big.
Perhaps you will have to tweak or modify the specifics of your
dream, but no specific task is impossible.
What if you let go completely of the scarcity and lack? How much
does fear block you from your greatness? How often does your
mind race immediately to "I can't afford that" or "That
price is
more than I have" or "I will have to wait"?
Relax in the knowledge
and belief that you have everything that you need and more.
Abundance is the truth. One step further, it is yours.
What if you embraced in your heart that each person you
encounter is an equally magnificent creation? That means that
you are as valuable as anyone else on the planet. You have a
specific, unique purpose and destiny. From your core is a
fountain or wellspring of possibilities. All you need to do is to
stay grounded and focused on your daily goal or intention of a
life in alignment with the callings of your life put into daily
actions reflecting those callings.
You can do this. You are worth it. You are big enough,
strong
enough, sure enough, and have enough resources. Today! Here
and Now!
In a world where she could neither see nor hear in conventional
ways, Helen Keller opened a world of possibilities to the seeing
world. Embrace her expansive vision, play a symphony to her
ears. Go to your destiny.
