It's Just An Apple

So let's just get this out of the way first. If have never ate a Pink Lady Apple, stop reading this blog, go buy one, come back to this blog, and finish reading this blog while enjoying your apple. Pink Lady apples are awesome.

"You can see the seeds in an apple, but you can't see the apples in a seed."

All to often, we get so caught up on only what we can see. We see only what the world has told us to see in ourselves. We shape our beliefs based upon what we were taught and by what society has told us to believe. Let's face it, we live in a very superficial world. It's all about the outward appearance. The clothes we wear, the house we live in, the car we drive, and the list goes on and on. We grow up in a world where we are told what to think and because of this reason, we put a lot of faith in what others tell us about us. However, deep down, we have always known that there is more to life. But for some reason, we drown out that inner voice because it doesn't line-up with what society would have us to believe about us. 

Guess what, you were born with that inner truth about you. It is a part of your DNA and spirit. Most of us have not even begun to live up to the life that we were destined to live because we have allowed outside forces to cram us into their box called "normal." What is inside of us is far greater than what we can ever imagine. Inside of us are seeds of greatness coated in potential. To many have gone to their death bed with potential still screaming to be released. What are we waiting for? The time will NEVER be perfect to begin by the standards of our programming. Begin now. I firmly believe in doing what you can, where you are, with what you have. Begin and the universe will begin helping you. After all, the universe gave you this greatness. It's just waiting for you to have some faith and begin.

What are we scared of? Are you afraid of failure? You will never accomplish anything in life worth achieving without some failures along the way. None of us walked perfectly the first time we tried and yet we kept at it, even though we continuously failed, until we got it right. Why should our perspective be any different towards what we know we should be doing? I would encourage you to take a good look inside of you. Not with the eyes in which society has tainted but with the eyes of clarity that you were born with. The kind of eyes that see the beauty in every moment in life. Don't be afraid to be completely honest with yourself. Just open yourself to any and all possibilities. Dare to see the potential of the seeds of greatness that are in you. Look past what you think is possible and begin to have faith in the impossible. Refuse to die with potential within you. After all, what do you have to lose?

Dream Big...Pursue Big...Live Big
