THE ALTITUDE

           Opportunity lies at your feet, waiting to be explored. It only takes a few ideas to relieve you from the constraints of time. The mind is often underestimated. Where you are is not your problem. You likely struggle with two things- goals that force your identity into what you’re pursuing and understanding the rhythm that can be made with the tools you have. 

​

          Where you are now is a stepping stone to where you're going. When a goal is set, the tools you have and the system that holds you becomes either opportunity or constraint. The choice is yours and either choice is made from clarity or concern. The issue most people have is they set a goal that requires 20 steps and relocation of many systems- they take the first step and lose clarity because looking forward disrupts the rhythm of the present. In other words what you have now can only take you to the next step, it does not meet the requirements to fulfill the goal in its entirety. The seed is not concerned with becoming a tree, its only job is to become a sapling. Clarity will show you where you are and what to do with it. Concern will conceal truth and only reveal what you don’t have. Both are different sides of the same coin but only one represents truth. Clarity is the reorganization of the same information concern disrupts. The world isn’t built on opposites but seeds and fruits, yin and yang. Ask yourself what side of the coin are you seeing from? This is the concept in action. Identify the lies your tell yourself and allow the truth to be revealed. Every goal and intention reveal a path not a finish line. For a system or lifecycle to survive it must begin, end, and begin again creating a living system. On your path you will find that success is nonlinear. It is a misconception that a goal is embodied after a finish line in crossed. In truth, the lifespan of any system follows seed--->tree--->fruit and is a necessary cycle that is representative of your goals in action. On your path you will learn that success was found the moment you took your first step towards your intention and held on to the rhythm. The action and intention in the direction of your goal, is the embodiment of your goal. 

            Taking your identity out of your goal allows you to not be defined by the outcome. A goal to win can only be measured alongside losses. But if you desire something that cannot be measured, something that is inevitable- you cannot lose. My goal is to learn: there is no scale I compete with, nothing to bind me to wins or losses, only action. What can emerge from my intentions are endless, so are the fruits.

​

I want to share a final thought. 

Strength will not be found apart from weekness.

Clarity will not be found apart from confusion. 

Dreams will not be obtained apart from reality. 

​

To seek strength is to embrace weakness 

Clarity comes by facing your ignorance and seeking understanding. 

​

There is a middle point between all things. A favorite quote of mine : 

“Weakness is the seed of strength”. 

You are right where you need to be. Just flip the coin.
