CANCER CURED CHAPTER V – Greatness Is Holding Fast to a Dream, Independent of the Environment 1 27
Everything gives off its true fragrance when it’s crushed! To succeed we must ignore naysayers, disappointment, and believe beyond our current environment.
Have you ever asked yourself how people like John Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Joan of Arc, Mahatma Gandhi, Marie Curie, Winston Churchill, and Martin Luther King succeeded despite overwhelming obstacles and challenges?
How did they overcome an environment and conditions so powerfully opposed to the concepts of a future reality they envisioned that existed only as potential in the quantum field?
Their vision was alive in an inner world of possibilities, beyond the senses, and in time, each of these people made those ideas a reality.
This blog continues my journey through cancer and my book Cancer Cured with the 4th segment from Chapter V - ignore reality, hold fast to a dream independent of the environment!
A client of mine shared, “Everything gives off its true fragrance when it’s crushed.”
When you look at the leaders and achievers I shared here, certainly these people were crushed by opposing views, obstacles, and defeats, yet each managed to hold to their vision despite what the outside world believed and worked to defeat them!
To be greater than the environment, greater than our current conditions, we must have a vision so strong, so powerful, that nothing can defeat us.
In Founding Brothers, Joseph J. Ellis shares a conviction that each of the founding fathers of our country had a vision. They believed their actions or inactions would be judged by history. This had a profound impact on their decisions. They realized how their actions would influence future generations. They weighed these actions against the historical perspective they felt they would be viewed.
If only we had such a vision for our future. Hold yourself to a higher standard! To the vision of our ideal self. See the legacy you want to leave, and you too can succeed.
