a voice in the arena
achievements that await the greatness of you.
Specific to the point of the post in discussion,
acknowledging that you have already won
doesn't necessarily run in opposition to
striving to reach even greater heights of
financial security or wealth accumulation.
The power of perspective
To some, this specific drive may be
core to the true calling of their soul and
what they actually wish to principally
dedicate their lives to. To me, the power
in really owning this statement is its ability
to unclutter perspective and distill clarity
from distraction.
Like it or not, every one of us is wired
via internal and external programming to
desire things that aren't aligned with our own
true and unencumbered choosing. Internal
programming through our childhood and
past experiences and external programming
through nonstop consumption of purposely
crafted information, entertainment,
marketing and influence are our constant
companions. Through the muck of the " not
enoughness, " comparison, greed and envy
that is often secondary to this programming,
we make daily decisions that affect the
course of our lives.
When making long-term plans, do you
make your wisest decisions from a place of
fear and comparison, or from an earned
place of security and gratitude? I can admit
to making more than my share of wrong
decisions from the former. Additionally,
so much time in the first half of my life
was spent planting my feet, doubling my
resolve and driving forward as the hours,
days and years bled away, all to get me closer
to " winning " -the definition of which
curiously seemed to change each time I
seemed to reach it. But as I sit here at 40, I
start to see truth in the saying, " What got
you here won't get you there. "

Consider starting with the awareness
that by arriving " here, " we have already won
or at the very least, significantly enough so
claiming such does not feel untrue. Perhaps
" there " is a wholly different destination,
one that doesn't require further winning
by the same definition. Instead, it might
require a release of the programmed and
unconscious search for a " here " that we
have already reached.
You are an orthodontist in this life; in
the next, you may very well return as a snail.
As you sit with the pen in your hand, ready
to write the rest of this charmed life, are you
still trying to win or have you already won? n
