Mental Sketches

I remember a time before the prominent ideas and beliefs that have shaped the life I have lived were not present.

Before any seeds of ideas would grow into my own.
Before any beliefs became firmly planted in my mind.
Before the limitations of others became the very experience of my life.

Somewhere in the span of time between then and now I find that the power I had within me as a child is something that has been pushed down into the deepest parts of my being, patiently waiting for the point in time when I would recognize this aspect of myself again.

When I would start embracing the power of believing again..

The many concepts that composed my beliefs became weakened from the weight of inconsistencies they had been built upon. This foundation of my life eventually crumbling into a million shards of half truths and lies allowing me the ultimate opportunity to free myself from the chaos and confusion that had grown into a self made prison

Into the deepest, darkest corners of my being I traveled to discover all I held to be true offered no validity in relation to life I was living. I became willing to fully and completely let go of the aspects of myself that had served only to keep me trapped in a life of limitations. I took accountability for the role I would play within my life, I took responsibility for the person I had been, was and….

I found the courage to be the woman I am today..

When I stopped looking at what “was” and “is”. I began to sketch within my mind a picture of what I wanted my life to be. I allowed no fixed ideas, rules, boundaries or distractions to blur my lines of thought. I had to give myself permission to go back to that place in time when limitations of any kind did not exist.

A time when the simplistic wonder and awe was weaved throughout the splinters of moments that comprised each and every day. A time when the magic within kept me free to choose from the rainbow of possibilities the colors to paint upon the canvas of my life.

I had to learn to dream again..

With no restrictions.
With no limits.
With no rules.

And today as I live within the experience that I first dreamed and sketched mentally, I understand the power of the mind to build the bridge’s from where you may be…..

To where ever you wish to go.

  2. It’s a beautiful post Morgan. If we only had a crystal ball to guide us through life how nice that would be. But we don’t, so we rely our belief system, values, and ideas.

    You have come a long way and you have such deep insight. You have picked up the pieces of the puzzle of your life like no other. You have made it your own with your courage and dreams. I applaud you!

    Hello Rolando and welcome back from Istanbul! Thank you always for your words of encouragement and your clear messages……..I’m applauding you right back :)

  4. I have only outside limitations - those out of my absolute control. I want to finish college but money is keeping out, until I save more. That may take several years. I don’t have several years to wait, so I really feel stuck in limbo. You are right about limits though, and I must find a way to do what I need to do. I may have to do something drastic like move and ride a bicycle…haha; nevertheless, your post has inspired me. Thanks Morgan:)
    Hey Bobby….you know as well as I do that there are a million and one ways to see a situation, sometimes though we get stuck in the aspect that won’t allow us to see past the obvious “limits”….money is just an aspect of the situation…..that can’t stop you unless you allow it….keep trekking forward and chasing what you want, don’t let the idea of not enough money keep you from getting to your goal.
    I’m a living example of experiencing everything I set out to do…with no money and yet everything still comes to me in OTHER ways.

  6. Your mind can control you in ways that are undetected. The subconscious thoughts derived from past can ultimately stop you from personal growth. Sometimes a real effort is required to erase the slate containing rules of possibility. Failure that has occurred in the past does not mean the same prospect in future. How many times have we all heard that little voice inside ourselves say, “You can’t … you are not worthy … you are not strong enough” Replacing these reactions with “You can … you are worthy … and you ARE strong enough”, are giant building blocks to success in any endeavor. Realizing this, and changing perspective, can be the most powerful moment in anyones life.

    Hi Morgan …. I see you are still writing incredible and thought provoking posts. You are one of a kind ;-)

    Eric


    Hey Speedy……I know all about those voices of limitations, but thank God I also learned of the other voices that speak empowerment…..because I am worthy :) Nice to see you Speedy!!!!!!!!

  9. We must have found the same muse :) My last post was about this particular epiphany!

    I’m always really excited and grateful to find someone having parallel thoughts - it buoys me and makes me feel connected.
