We Cannot Will Ourselves To Greatness

‘To be like … great masters, we cannot simply will ourselves to be like them.

We need to cultivate the qualities they possess.

To cultivate the qualities of compassion, wisdom, and dignity, we need to check our motivation and make aspirations.

Motivation is like a mirror- it reflects your present intention.

Aspiration is like a doorway to the future- it ushers you to the results you wish to achieve.

Without motivation, you cannot even start on the path; without aspiration, it would be difficult to reach the results.’

– Phakchok Rinpoche and Sophie Wu

Do You Have Faith In Your Dream?

‘… no one is qualified to push my vision into reality except me.’- Johnny Wimbrey

What you want is within your reach. You can make your dreams come true. But if you are really serious about them, then you have got to put yourself out there.

You have got to face your future alone. Why alone? Because not everyone is going to support your dreams. They are not bad people. They don’t know where you are going in your life. They are comfortable, but you are not.

‘… someone else’s mentality has nothing to do with your reality.’- Johnny Winbrey

They love where they are, but you are not. They are happy with what they are doing, but you are not.

That is why they want you to live like them, to think like them, to eat like them, to do everything like them. Do not go there. If you do, your dreams will never come true.

If you want to keep your dreams alive, you must have faith in yourself. You must value your dreams. And you must never take your work for granted.
