Ask yourself the ultimate question

“If I want to be free, I’ve got to be me. Not the me you think I should be, not the me I think my wife thinks I should be, not the me I think my kids think I should be. If I want to be free, I’ve got to be me so I better know who me is.” – Bill Gove

"Ask yourself the ultimate question"

Know thyself.

This inscription is found on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

Knowing thyself is also synonymous with loving one's self.

Ask yourself.

What is it that I really want in my life right now?

Not what I need but what I want.

It must be something that truly cuts right to the core of your being.

As soon as you have determined that want, then and only then can you begin to move towards its’ realization.

The picture of what you want must be crystal clear. A clear picture creates more order, less fear, less doubt and less confusion in your life.

You are the architect.

You are the driver of the bus of your life.

You decide who, what, where and when comes into your life experience.

You!

As you become more in control of your thoughts, feelings and actions that ultimately determine your results, you will gain greater happiness.

This happiness will lead to more confidence in yourself and your abilities.

Get to know that amazing, creative, decisive and aspiring individual within.

You begin to do this by listening to that still, small voice within and not just hear.

“Everyone on the planet is on a different frequency so in order to relay your message more effectively reduce the dissonance by listening instead of hearing.” – Franco Cianflone

Everyone has so much to say every single day of his or her existence.

Exchange of dialogue is great however allowing the other individual to express him or herself is crucial regarding the outcome.

Hearing is not listening.

Listening implies that you are an active participant in the interaction of ideas.

When you are an active participant, you don’t jump in and interrupt.

You listen and then process the dialogue in order to contribute to it effectively.

Are you simply hearing and creating your exchange in your mind rather than listening?

Listening opens the door towards greater communication on all fronts good, bad or indifferent.

“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.” - William Faulkner

Be resilient.

Be resolved.

Always remain integral regardless of present circumstances and the truth will set you free.

When I was 12 years old, I swam the lake in Saskatchewan. This lake has very high sodium, magnesium and potassium salt content as it is a lake onto itself and provides swimmers with the ability to float without any effort.

You probably couldn’t drown if you wanted.

Be resilient like that lake.

Be buoyant, push upward, recover quickly and get back to the business of working towards your goal.

When there are issues that cause you to derail or immobilize you, stop, think and create other possibilities that are already there for you. These obstacles will cause you to think on a deeper level and discover hidden solutions that would have never surfaced for you.

You owe it to yourself, your loved ones, your friends, your local community and the greater global arena of life.

Don’t die with the music inside of you.

Express your greatness and give humanity your talents, expertise, compassion, love and everything that is inside that beautiful body that we call a human being.

It’s called a being because it is a living organism with life and vitality.

Go out there and claim what is rightfully yours and remember what I said.

You can do whatever you want in life intellectually, emotionally, spiritually physically and financially as long as you do not violate the rights of any other human being.

You do this by standing your ground for honesty, truth and compassion.

The truth will always prevail!

Ask yourself the ultimate question.
