What happens when you watch a movie on TV?<\/p>\n
You see a story that has a script to it.<\/p>\n
It has a beginning, an end, and the events that take place in between.<\/p>\n
But sometimes it doesn\u2019t go the way as planned\u2026even though it may seem like it\u2019s supposed to at first.<\/p>\n
In many ways this sounds like your life\u2026right?<\/p>\n
Now there\u2019s something else you quite often don\u2019t see in the movie that also happens to be in your life as well.<\/p>\n
And it has to do with how your life turns out\u2026even though it\u2019s something most people do anything in their power to avoid like cancer.<\/p>\n
Not only is this something that can strike the fear of death into you, but it\u2019s also the very thing needed to turn your life around when it seems like all hope is lost.<\/p>\n
What I\u2019m talking about is \u201cThe unknown\u201d<\/p>\n
And more specifically\u2026the Great Unknown.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s face it\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s only natural as a human being to want to know how things will work out\u2026the script of how things are to go in your life and having it be predictable.<\/p>\n
But as you already know it quite often doesn\u2019t go that way. And with it comes the eventual fear along with the unknown of what today, tomorrow, and the future brings.<\/p>\n
What happens as a result\u2026<\/p>\n
Feeling paralyzed of what to do which quite often leads to giving up.
\nInterestingly\u2026<\/p>\n
This is the best time to \u201cdive in\u201d and discover this great unknown because it\u2019s where the solutions to the biggest problems in your life are.<\/p>\n
So the question is\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat (and where) exactly is this great unknown in your life\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2026and how do you discover it?<\/p>\n
1. Navigating the unknown-<\/strong> There are two things that you, I, and every human being will always face in life no matter what and these are right at the backbone of dealing with the unknown\u2026making choices and taking risks.<\/p>\n With that said here\u2019s a quote of mine\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cLife is full of choices. One of these choices is taking risks. And unless you\u2019re willing to sometimes take risks your life will never change.\u201d<\/p>\n Because many of the most important choices you\u2019ll make in life comes with an increasing amount of risk\u2026whether they have to do with your family, your career, the people you choose to associate with, your finances, and even who you are as a person.<\/p>\n And by knowing how to be courageous and brave enough to make these choices is what leads to discovering the greatest reward of all. It\u2019s life\u2019s most treasured payoff you\u2019ll get as a human which is only attainable by navigating through the unknown.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll come back to what this is in a few minutes.<\/p>\n But first the question here is\u2026<\/p>\n How do you effectively navigate through the unknown?<\/p>\n Well, it\u2019s the same way for all human beings\u2026<\/p>\n By embracing life from a two-sided perspective.<\/p>\n Every situation you come across, whether you take risks or not, will have two sides to it.<\/p>\n Meaning\u2026<\/p>\n No matter what you do you\u2019ll have people liking and disliking you, supporting and challenging you, praising and criticizing you, putting you up and putting you down, being nice and mean to you\u2026EQUALLY.<\/p>\n And the same is true of yourself. You\u2019ll have moments of feeling happy and sad\u2026equally. Moments of building yourself up and putting yourself down\u2026equally.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no escaping this.<\/p>\n And the interesting part of this\u2026<\/p>\n Whether you step in to the unknown or go through life \u201cplaying it safe\u201d and trying to avoid the unknown\u2026you\u2019ll get it anyway.<\/p>\n This brings up another quote that comes to mind\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThe real risk in life is doing nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n Therefore\u2026<\/p>\n It\u2019s wise to make it a point to take risks because this is what gives you the courage to navigate through and \u201cstep in to\u201d, take on, and go through the great unknown in your life.<\/p>\n And since you\u2019ll get the both sides of life that I just mentioned, then you may as well \u201cdive in\u201d anyway\u2026right?<\/p>\n Now of course when I say to take risks I don\u2019t mean reckless, out of control, and highly emotional risks\u2026<\/p>\n What I do mean are \u201chealthy risks\u201d that see the different situations involved from a two-sided perspective, along with seeing the equal amount of benefits and drawbacks of each.<\/p>\n When you approach it like this, you dance your way through the unknown and out the other side\u2026which is the greatest reward I spoke about earlier.<\/p>\n In fact, there\u2019s two greatest rewards.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at the first one now. The truth<\/p>\n \u2026And it\u2019s here where the core of the great unknown in your life exists.<\/p>\n In fact\u2026<\/p>\n This is where the first greatest reward of your life lives.<\/p>\n Because it\u2019s here where you discover the truth\u2026the truth of who you are, why you\u2019re here, what you\u2019re made of, and what you\u2019re willing to go through.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also where you discover the other different truths\u2026the truths of the many different events you go through in your life.<\/p>\n If there\u2019s such a thing in life as an ultimate destination in life\u2026this is it.<\/p>\n However\u2026<\/p>\n As much as a life reward this is, far too many people avoid what it takes to get there\u2026stepping in to the great unknown.<\/p>\n Strangely\u2026<\/p>\n Even though all human beings want the truth, most are afraid of it. They avoid it like cancer. And ironically, more often than not it has to do with stepping in to and discover the great unknown in their lives.<\/p>\n This again goes back to what I said earlier about taking risks\u2026along with making the choices to take those risks.<\/p>\n And one of the main reasons for this is because most people are striving for a one-sided fantasy life\u2026seeking more happiness than sadness, more pleasure than pain, more kindness than cruelness.<\/p>\n The world is not\u2026was never\u2026and will never work that way. It was never designed to in the first place.<\/p>\n It\u2019s designed to work in a two-sided manner\u2026and this is where you discover all truths in life\u2026along with the great unknown in your life.<\/p>\n Remember\u2026<\/p>\n No matter how you go about life, there is no getting around making the choices that involve taking risks\u2026which will always include having an equal amount of benefits and drawbacks to whatever is included in that \u201crisky\u201d situation.<\/p>\n And this is something I\u2019ve certainly experienced in my life as well\u2026especially when starting my own business. But it didn\u2019t end there as I still to this day deal with many different types of situations that involve stepping in to the great unknown.<\/p>\n Not only have I dealt with it in my business, but in my personal life as well.<\/p>\n During my life I\u2019ve moved several times, and with each move comes a new unknown in my life to deal with.<\/p>\n There are the unknowns of what the new place I move to will be like\u2026who will I end up meeting and becoming friends with\u2026how will I adjust to a new surrounding.<\/p>\n After many of these moves I ended up moving back to New Jersey. And even with those moves back to a place I\u2019m familiar with came many unknowns as well.<\/p>\n The people who know me wonder why I move so much and see it as a disadvantage\u2026but there are an equal amount of advantages to it as well\u2026such as being conditioned to deal with and navigate through the great unknown in my life.<\/p>\n And the same is true for you as it relates to your life.<\/p>\n In fact\u2026<\/p>\n Once you make it a habit of seeing all events and moments in your life as having an equal amount of benefits and drawbacks (two-sided) you\u2019ll condition yourself in how to anticipate dealing with \u201cfuture events\u201d before they come up.<\/p>\n Because whether you\u2019re looking at the past, present, or future events in your life you still go about how you see them the same way\u2026from the two-sided perspective I\u2019ve been speaking about.<\/p>\n As a result\u2026<\/p>\n You\u2019ll uncover the different truths in life I mentioned earlier along with the second greatest reward life gives you.<\/p>\n 3. The hidden blessings abyss-<\/strong> Now of course there\u2019s the other side of what happens as a result of taking the different risks in your life\u2026the rewards. And what\u2019s fascinating about this is the fact that even if the risks you take don\u2019t go the way you want you still get an equal reward.<\/p>\n This brings us back to the second of those great rewards that you get\u2026<\/p>\n Finding the hidden blessings in your life.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s here where you find the true meaning of your life.<\/p>\n It\u2019s here where the things you may see at first as making no sense start to make sense.<\/p>\n It\u2019s here where you realize why things happen the way they do.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s also here where you discover not only the hidden order in the chaos of life, but what the great unknown is in your life.<\/p>\n This brings up another quote of mine:<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of fearing and avoiding the unknown, look forward to the hidden blessings that the unknown reveals.\u201d<\/p>\n This is what I call the hidden blessings abyss because within the great unknown of your life is an endless supply of hidden blessings that are there waiting for you to find them.<\/p>\n One such example in my life took place back in 2006. That\u2019s when I had the failed business partnership that ended up costing me over $50,000. This resulted in my transitioning out of the fitness industry and into what I do today as a human potential specialist.<\/p>\n As a result\u2026<\/p>\n I discovered who I am, why I\u2019m here, and it conditioned me to effectively deal with the many different unknowns that have occurred in my life since.<\/p>\n Your life is full of hidden blessings\u2026all designed to help you discover what your life is all about.<\/p>\n As scary and risky things may seem at times the rewards that come out of it for you make it all worth it\u2026especially the hidden blessings you discover along the way.<\/p>\n Life is meant to be lived and in a way that is unique to who you are.<\/p>\n You\u2019re here to find out what makes you the unique and special person you are.<\/p>\n Now when I say special I don\u2019t mean feeling \u201centitled”\u2026<\/p>\n What I do mean is\u2026 what it is about you that brings value to the world\u2026and in a way that helps others do the same in their lives.<\/p>\n And doing it in a way that allows you to shine\u2026to be the person you were put in this world to be.<\/p>\n You do matter\u2026<\/p>\n You do make a difference\u2026<\/p>\n And you do deserve to be loved and appreciated for who you are and all you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What happens when you watch a movie on TV?

\n2. Destination\u2026Truth-<\/strong> Naturally there are as many different life journeys as there are people in the world. The nice part of this is the fact that your journey is unique and special. What is the same for everyone however is that all life\u2019s journeys have a destination\u2026<\/p>\n
