Are You Ready to Trek into the Unknown?

What gates are waiting for you to see them?

When we adopt an opportunity mindset — which contradicts everything we were raised to believe — we start seeing what has been largely invisible to us. We no longer need to hammer at ourselves day and night to be validated for our success by a broken world.

I met a passionate and driven young man fighting for fairness. I had a father, who I lost half a lifetime ago, believing in justice. But in a world with corrupt and unjust systems, what’s the point of fighting all the time? Why uphold a dying paradigm that doesn’t serve the vast majority of us? Why try to save or make this world only “better” when we can take our imagination and courage to create a truly healthy plain of existence?

We’ve already thrown billions of dollars, lives and unquantified energy in trying to bring fairness, equality and philanthropy to an unjust and corrupt world. We know very well how this same story repeats itself and our opportunity is not to be a sequel or rerun but to realize there is another way.

Living in awareness makes us see not just the problems and challenges but the opportunities that are often hiding on the edges of our vision. When we choose to put down the manual of success that we were handed, life gets a bit rough since there’s no blueprint to where we’re heading.
