Life is like a voyage at sea

Life is like a voyage at sea.
At birth your soul is put to sea in the vessel of your body.
And you can be on the right tack, going with the flow and sailing to success ...
Or you can be in the eye of a storm, beating to weather and even lost at sea.
The choice is yours and the decision is made within the vaults of your heart and mind
For as you think and feel, so shall you be.

If you want to realize your dreams, read on.
I can teach anyone to realize their dreams and live life to their full potential using the simple metaphor of the sailing voyage.

You are destined for greatness. All you need to do is choose a destination, chart a course and weigh anchor and set sail on the voyage of a lifetime. There is a sea of infinite potential surging from within you, a swell of greatness generated from within. You can ride that wave of potential to your dreams by directing your sailboat in the Now to your choosen destination. Grab hold of the helm, set your course and let's set sail on the seas of success.

If it is so easy, then why do we not realize "the active will toward health, an impulse towards growth, or towards the actualization of human potentialities" that Malsow claim is within us all.

There are many reasons, but the one underlying all others is fear. Not fear of failure, but fear of the great sea of potentiality that lies within each of us.

Nelson Mandela quoted Marianne Williamson in his Inaugural Address in 1994:

"Our deepest fear
is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure

It is our light not our darkness
that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant,
Gorgeous, Talented and Fabulous?"

Who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest
The Glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It is in everyone.

As we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others."

When we connect to the Source, through self-awareness and meditation, through watching the one who thinks, the one who feels, then we realize we are the sea and there is nothing to fear. We cannot drown in the sea of greatness because we are the sea.
