There are years ahead of me, I hope, in which to fulfil my potential and realise my ambitions. These ambitions are ahead of my like a guiding light or principle and they call upon me to stretch myself and my thinking way beyond what Maitland Kalton, the ego, can contemplate at this time. It lies within us all to do something great, something momentous that is worthy of our precious time on Earth.
That said, until we believe it and identify it, it lies dormant within, perhaps never to be realised and I feel sad when I consider the lost opportunity for each of us as we let life pass us by without thought of what great thing we are here to do. It is usually something surprisingly big and it often lies beyond our conscious awareness.
As for me, I am astounded at what came out when I sat down to write out my main purpose in life, my commitment. At first I fed ideas from conscious thought about helping people find and fulfil their true potential and indeed I do wish to do that but the words sounded a little contrived, so I decided to approach it differently. I engaged the consciousness of my whole self (mind, body and spirit) and then handed over to “it” (me) the task of producing something that is the essence of my purpose, simply transcribing the words as they poured forth. What resulted was almost shocking for me:
“My main commitment and purpose in life is to ignite in mankind a desire for honesty and integrity in all dealings, to unify mankind as a single whole and to being peace to the entire planet”.
Well, there’s an easy task - I think I’ll manage that by lunchtime on Tuesday! In fact I have no idea where these words come from nor how I will do it, though I can see the seeds of it already in what I am now doing, following my heart to a career as a writer.
Of course such grandiose statements are beyond Maitland, the ego, as I have said, but expressed with passion and commitment from the core of my whole being and coupled with undying faith, since anything is possible in life, so then is this too...and so shall it be, since “Ours is not to reason why......” (or how)!
