You may find it hard to believe, but spectacularity, achieving more than you ever dreamed, is more than just a possibility.It is your birth right to achieve all that you can dream. Although it is the natural state of people, many typically fall short of achieving spectacularity. Some may think they don’t deserve it, that being spectacular is for others, not for them. Some may think that they couldn’t possibly be spectacular. Others don’t know how to achieve it. What stops you from being truly spectacular?
Fear, and its constant companion, lack of confidence, plague the road to spectacularity, creating an endless path of sharp curves, speed bumps and hurdles. A root cause of fear is the misconception that you are alone and powerless, that you will not succeed. Often, ego, the false mask of fear, tags along for the ride, but this false mask serves no useful purpose. The interesting thing about ego is that ego-driven thoughts, beliefs and behaviors can be challenged and discarded, like a pair of worn out shoes or an old coat, at any time you choose. The choice to discard, however, an only be made when you are willing to admit that ego serves no useful purpose. This is a giant step and a continuing challenge on the journey toward being truly spectacular. The antidote to fear, lack of confidence, self-sabotage and ego is the dawning discovery that you are not alone, but rather, that you are intimately connected to an immense reservoir of power that is the Spiritual Universe and that you have within you a great power to be truly spectacular. Not only do you have the power to be truly spectacular, but you also have the right to be amazingly spectacular.
Are you a procrastinator? Many are. Thinking about doing rather than actually doing – or inaction instead of action – is what unfulfilled dreams are made of. When you settle for less than you hoped or dreamed for, you are in essence saying to the world, “It’s OK – I don’t deserve better.” Nonsense! Each and every one of us deserves all the best that the Universe has to offer. When you settle, you give away your personal power and just accept whatever comes your way, you become a volunteer victim. Interestingly, procrastination rhymes with stagnation, and the similarities don’t end there. The antidote to procrastination is a single word: action. Achieving spectacularity lies in this simple rule: Set an intention of being spectacular. Start from where you are and take one step at a time. The journey of a thousand miles starts with that first step, no matter how small that step is. It may be scary, but you can do it. Dare to be spectacular!
Those who are spectacular focus on a clear sharp vision while maintaining a solid grounding of full present awareness and involvement. They practice the art of mindfulness, fully being in the here and now, fully being in the present. Vision is the energy that adds inspiration and ease to action. Vision is the solid conviction that you are about something really important, even though you may not be certain what it is. One of the great paradoxes of life is that, in order to fulfill your vision, it is often necessary to let go of any attachment to a particular result or outcome. When we hold on to a specific result, we give away or may even block the potential of even greater things coming our way. When you release the expectation of a specific outcome, it makes way for the Universe to send the most amazing energy and experiences your way. Commitment, another part of being truly spectacular, is a function of vision, not will. Rely on will, and commitment is sporadic at best. This becomes easier if you can realize that, at a higher level, you are engaged in a grand design in which the full pursuit of process ensures a right result. Being flexible is a path toward being truly spectacular.
The journey to becoming truly spectacular is not without risks. To risk is to be willing to sacrifice that which is comfortable, that which is familiar, and that of which you are sure. To risk involves relying on one’s own measure of success rather than on society’s measures. Often, society’s measures of success are material, transitory, showy and foolish. Society appears to have taken the notion that goals should be concrete and tangible to ridiculous extremes. Relying on one’s own measure of success leads toward being truly spectacular. While on one level, risk-taking involves uncertainty, at a higher level, it involves trust, the trust that you will be guided, step by step. Trust is necessary in order to be truly spectacular. Trust and faith in what is coming your way means that you know you will receive whatever is perfect for you, whenever it is the perfect time to receive it. Spectacularity depends on our willingness to accept that our Spiritual heritage is all good. As a prelude to discovering your own great uniqueness and spectacularity, you need to accept the possibility that it is so! This is what makes you truly spectacular!
