Thank you for sharing this thought with us all PGM Baird. This one has affected me so deeply; It’s getting printed and is going up on my mirror.
This is one of our most valuable teachings, philosophically. I’m glad you’ve connected with it. Make it yours without delay!
PGMB
Exactly! Again, for me the physical act of this is easy, its the mental aspect I have yet to overcome.
As long as we’re on the mountain, as long as we keep climbing, it doesnt matter how long it takes to get to the top. Just keep on that path, and you’ll get there.
Exactly!
I wrote this down Thursday night! I don’t think enough people stop to remember who they were born to be and if they are living up to it. It’s definitely made me take a closer look at some of the hows and whys of me.
GMM wants to look at everyone’s notes to compile a master set of that night. That would be cool. Then, we’ll give everyone a copy of the “complete” notes of the night.
That would be awesome!! It was a night I do not ever want to forget one detail about so I would LOVE to have notes from it!!
Yeah. It will be great to amalgamate all the different notes into one. There was so much, it will probably take them all to come close to the entirety of the night’s subjects. Fantastic night.
When we realize we have become the “excuse” it is then we can begin to grow and awaken.Sometimes I think people don’t see a way out, they have to remember the greater part of who they are, and let all the rest go.
Thanks for this one. Your talk on Thursday night was one of the best ever, and that’s saying a lot!
Great idea for the notes, I have mine ready to give you.
In the little time I’ve spent so far reading in to philosophy, I encountered the idea that there’s no such thing as an objective truth. Because of my own experience and the observably dysfunctional nature of our society I feel that the statement “We want and need to be the person we were born to be…” invalidates that idea.
Before Universe gave me my reason to seek out the school, I lived my ENTIRE life up to that point as the excuse, without consciously knowing it. I never showed up for myself in any area of my life, and as a result lived steeping in abject misery and self loathing like a vile tea. Then one day, my house of excuses came crashing down around me, and I was presented with the choice of kung fu or something far more desperate.
“Counting to ten” has helped me align myself with my meaning. I am a better person now than ever, and only getting better by the day. To all the masters, Grandmasters and black belts that go before me, for keeping the flame of self-mastery alive in such hostile conditions:
Thank you.
TL;DR:
PGMB speaks truth, kung fu saves lives.
This is a thing that the entire world, especially our society, has a problem with. Everyone is too disillusioned by what we should be according to what’s popular or someone else’s standards. This obsession with what we have to be to fit in pulls away from everyone’s true abilities and true destiny in this world. What a wonderful place the world would be if they were following their true purpose. There would be so much positivity and manifestation in the world. Hearing these words, as I am working on the transition myself, is inspiring and helps me get a step closer each day as I journey to a place where o can spend my time fully on my true purpose rather than what I think I am obligated to do. Thank you PGMB!
