Possibilities – – Asa Rodriguez

Why is it that people feel enslaved to fears, to failures, to things going not as expected…?? Is it because they are betting it all on their expectations, living for their goals and dreams, adding all their energy to a particular achievement…?? Fear is blocking us from living, isn’t it…?? I mean, beyond fear being a challenge to overcome and a necessary tool in the evolutionary kit of mankind, people are not living each moment really with love and happiness; but they are always expecting something better to arrive, something which will get rid of the fear and somehow give them love and happiness, and a certain fulfillment and certainty.

And this sickness is an expectation, an egoistical activity which directs all their behaviors, which brings confusion, doubt, all feelings of deeper fear, and that quite often leaves them paralyzed and without self-worth. Ever wanted to say something to someone, do something, start some project, become something, but you instead allowed thoughts of fear to come into your mind and paint images of what could go wrong or started imagining the worst turn of your story…?? This was your imagination, not your higher conscience or greater intelligence, or some survival mode–i.e., as many of you ignorantly think.

See, following your dreams, your noble passions, setting on your journey of achievement, is experiencing being human, it is indeed discovering yourself and how great you are; however, you must not confuse yourself, whatever your dreams are, whatever your true and noble passions are, whatever you want to experience in the world, is not all you are and it does not limit your expression as a spiritual being. It is easy to lose yourself on experiences and goals, and it is easy to allow your mind to find your worth in expectations–“my next relationship,” “my new job,” “the next phase of my life,” “my new affections and kindness to friends and family,” “my traveling plans,” “my commitment to this and to that,” etc. etc. Putting all your energy and love into this is exactly what, consciously or subconsciously, creates doubt, confusion, fear; because while this, your ego tends to rule and tell you that this is you, that this is what must keep you happy and loving yourself. But how can it be you if it is a product of your mind/of your ego…?? And how is this true love and happiness if it is found in your mind/your ego…??

You must wake up to this and realize it for yourself, that you must live each moment, that you must put your energy and your heart in each moment and not on a bet or expectation of something in the future… Live your life knowing that you work each moment so the best unfolds in front of you, because is in the moment where your future and the best things lie…
