Mountain Paths / Chapter 1
Being our best
Passion begins with being focused on the best of who we are.
Fire, earth, wind and water are always at their best. They have no consciousness otherwise. All they can do is be the best of what they are. When we’re clear on our best, that’s all we can be.
Think about any moment of success, achievement, or joy in your life. In every situation, you engaged the best of who you were at the time because you had no consciousness otherwise. You stayed totally focused and clear on your best qualities, capabilities, and intentions.
Being our best is always a matter of focus. When we understand our life, we understand that what we focus on, we become. To pay attention to the best in us is to feel clarity of purpose, self-trust, and the willingness to dream dreams that inspire and connect us as never before.
Every day, life gives us the freedom to choose a powerful focus on our best or the powerlessness of a deficiency focus. Wherever we are, life offers us as many reasons to forget the power of our potential and instead focus on our deficiencies.
With the human condition that transcends geography, gender, genetics, and generation comes the ability and freedom to be miserable, frustrated, and confused. Life always gives us the freedom to either focus on or to forget our best.
All that a sense of powerlessness takes is attention to our life’s deficiencies - what we can’t do, don’t want, don’t like, don’t have, what isn’t working, and why. A deficiency focus makes our potential inaccessible, cutting us off from our wisdom, power, and energy to engage our best.
Or we can feel clear, confident, and creative by focusing instead on our potential - what we can do, do want, do like, do have, what is working, and why.
Attention is our freedom, power, and responsibility. No one can pay attention for us. No one can demand what we’ll focus on from one moment and day to the next. No one can take this freedom, power, and responsibility away from us or take it for us.
When we realize this, we immediately receive all the freedom, power, and responsibility life gives us in infinite abundance every moment of our lives.
