Most of us experience merely a small portion of what life has to offer. We rarely take advantage of all that is available to us and in fact, become complacent and remain content to exist in life rather than live it. We often allow our dreams and fantasies to remain locked away, safely hidden in the dark recesses of our minds. We fail to recognize how deeply those hidden secrets affect our every day lives, how greatly they impact our emotional and physical well-being and the limits they place on our expectations and realities. Why do we place such restrictions on life? What prevents us from taking that excursion into uncharted territory?
From birth we are placed in a restrictive bubble, seeing the world through the eyes of parents and family. As adolescents, we expand our knowledge and limits as we begin to experiment and explore our potential. We seek to discover our own identity and test our new designs. As adults we tend to lose that spirit of adventure and accept a pattern of existence, which portrays an accumulation of our fears and inhibitions. Governed by the restrictions of societal dictates, family and friends, we retreat to our bubble. This confinement usually leaves us feeling trapped and empty with many voids to fill. We dream of adventures outside of our self imposed boundaries, but ultimately limit ourselves to watching in awe as others dare to venture into the realm of unknown possibilities.
The good news is that we are not restricted to accepting what life offers us. We can and should take what we need and desire from it. Life is only as limited as we make it. It is everything we allow it to be. There is a way to live our dreams and experience fulfillment and reward. It requires that we put away our fears and inhibitions and begin to explore, experiment and rediscover all of the possibilities that exist. With a little effort, all things are possible. We examine our curiosities, dreams and the endless opportunities; and dare to try on a few fantasies. If it feels good…DO IT! Expanding limits and boundaries extends to endless possibilities. The adventure and resulting freedom are well worth the effort.
If you think it is impossible, ask yourself why. The answers lie within you. The way is open and the means are accessible. You can make it happen and get more from life. Having faith in your capabilities as well as owning a positive attitude and an open mind allows the confidence needed to begin the journey. Thinking outside the box and allowing for a creative flow of energies will offer many new paths. We have free reign of the universe and now is the time to explore it
