I haven’t had a “job” since I walked off the car lot sometime around 2002.
A few days earlier, my trajectory through life met up with a car that turned right in front of me as I was coming down the road. BAAAAMMMMMM. I still remember the haze that fills a car when the airbags go off. It makes for an eerie atmosphere inside the car for a few minutes.
I walked away from that car accident, but something broke that day and I was never the same.
What broke was my willingness to support an illusion that was not me.
I imagined what the headlines could have been:
“Here ended the life of Jason. He was driving away from his family to spend his days doing something he hated in exchange for money, because he didn’t know any better. Silly boy.”
With that accident, it hit me (literally!) how dumb I was to spend life this way. To spend it doing things I didn’t want to do with people I didn’t like.
So I quit.
The only problem was, I had no idea what I was going to do next.
At that time, my understanding of reality was exactly backwards. I was fully living inside the illusion that I had to find the right thing for me. That if I could just locate the right path, then I’d be OK. If you know this feeling, it’s like a hunger that never goes away. You just keep “searching” for something that never appears.
This is the thinking of a person who has not yet awoken to his power. This is the approach someone takes when he doesn’t yet realize HE HIMSELF is the path that will CREATE the future he seeks.
I had a lot of learning to do. And a lot of growing up to do on the inside and the outside.
As Marcus Aurelius explains (and I’m paraphrasing!), there’s no obstacle to intention. It goes through anything and everything.
But I didn’t understand this. I didn’t understand that the way to create is to embody the energetic state of the thing already DONE.
That changes the signal you send out to the raw material of the universe.
This is the simple process for planting the seeds of your future.
That’s why the media platform WORKS, by the way. Because it uses the very same principles of planting and seeding for the future using powerful energetics from the NOW.
So I quit my job that day and burned every bridge with no plan, no safety net, no nothing.
Some people call that faith.
Other people call that stupid.
I just call it life.
And life seems fullest when you give up doing anything out of FEAR, including remaining in a situation where you are miserable.
The day you train yourself to stop fearing what could happen is the day you first realize you can fully embrace EVERYTHING that can happen.
