Only learning

Posted on by philipdodson

There are no good or bad people who we meet, whether it is for a few moments, a week, a month, years or a lifetime…they are just teachers.

There are no good or bad experiences…just learning.

Whatever happens, now, in our real conscious life is all part of our journey. There is nothing that can happen now that we are not equipped to deal with.

We are born with all the intelligence within our cells and wisdom within our soul to be able to exist in our human carnation and become the consciousness of the universe, which the universe needs in order to exist and experience itself.

Good or bad is a label of our unconscious mind and its endless repetitive thoughts, stories and its ego. This is where we suffer if we associate ourselves with it.

Good or bad do not exist in this moment, only in the mind’s projection of the past and the future.

There is only learning and the opportunity to start afresh every single moment.

Are you the next Colonel Sanders?

Colonel Sanders started his first restaurant at the age of 52 and now KFC is a global fast-food chain not saying to himself ‘I’m too old’.

Wangari Muta Maathai mobilised mainly women in Kenya to plant over 30 million trees and then the UN to organise the planting of 11 billion trees despite being from Africa and a woman, she didn’t use those as excuses in a totally white male dominated world.

Gutenberg invented a printing press for the mass production of books when less than 10 percent of the population could read…he didn’t wait for literacy rates in Medieval times to improve.

Karl Benz developed a car when there were no paved roads and it was illegal to drive in Germany…he could have said ‘there is no point, no one can drive’.

The list of examples of people who were not sabotaged by external factors could continue. They didn’t look for excuses, they didn’t wait for the right conditions, or blame lack of money, the weather, laws, their luck, or it being too hard.

There have been women and men throughout history who have not looked for reasons not to do something, but against the odds, they actively have looked for reasons to follow their passions and create. They were prepared for things to fail, to not work, they were willing to take the risk.

What excuses are we currently coming up with to stop us fulfilling our soul’s true desires? What risks will we take to fulfil our passions? We are on this rock once…don’t wait.
