Personal Development

What if you were the chosen one?

What if you were the one destined to change everything?

That your life isn’t like everyone else's, that your purpose is something more important, more profound.

That you are part of a prophecy destined to come true, destined to change everything.

These are the characteristics we commonly associate with the idea of the chosen one.

It’s an idea that resonates deeply with the majority of people.

But why?

You have dreams.

You have visions for the future.

You have goals.

But why?

Why dream?

Why imagine a better future?

Why lay out goals for yourself?

Is it for money?

For status?

For power?

Look deeper.

If you long for riches, you'll never be satisfied.

If you long for status, you might...

Speaking your mind is a scary proposition.

What if people don’t like what you have to say?

What if they don’t want to listen to you?

What if you don’t come across as confident as you are internally?

There’s a difference between our internal dialogue and our outward dialogue.

In our mind, we can be strong - explore ideas, scenarios, and possible futures without confrontation.

In the real world, we’re subjected to criticism, doubt, scepticism, and undeniable challenges.

The other involves settling for a life of quiet desperation.

If the latter resonates with you, you'd be better off if...

How long will it take before you realise that you’re wasting time?

That the window of opportunity you have to chase your dreams and do what you enjoy is closing with every passing day?

Time eventually takes us all - when and how isn’t up to us.

This life is a gift, a blessing, afforded by a delicate balance in the universe that won’t last forever.

This experience will be over in the blink of an eye, and everything you ever were will be...

Time is beautiful, but unforgiving.

Time tells the truth; it won't lie; it can capture the sum of your life in a single moment.

The regret from the opportunities you didn't take, the loathing at the paths you didn't walk, the delusions of grandeur, the self-sabotage, the victimhood, letting your ego run wild - if ignored will compound and consume you eventually.

You can lie to the world, and with luck, your rhetoric might convince them of your lies.

You can lie to yourself, and over time you...

Your past isn’t you.

Your past is a series of many versions of you, many memories all spliced together throughout your life.

You might bind to a particular version of yourself, one that you’re afraid to leave behind.

It makes sense; we all do it.

But true growth comes not from letting go, but from understanding every experience you’ve ever had has contributed, for better or for worse, to the person you are right now.

Each passing moment offers the opportunity to...
