Or were you born already burdened with baggage that determines how your life is going to turn out?

There is no escaping the fact that the family you were born into has baggage. That baggage becomes your baggage… Attitudes, opinions and beliefs were “put into you”. You became the perfect clone of the best and worst of your family… Then something started to happen:

You began to think for yourself… at least some did.

Looking around at the state of things in the world today, it’s obvious that the vast majority of humans fail to achieve the critical mass, in their lives, which causes them to question what they believe and why they believe it.

You see, if you are one of the few who have taken the best of what your upbringing gave you and worked to unload the baggage, you’re in a surprising minority. You actually questioned the reality of your conditioning and then took action to bring your attitudes, opinions and beliefs into balance with what you consciously choose to accept as your reality. Not what was given to you (as a child) when you had no possibility to know or understand the “truth” of it… if there was any truth to it.

To you who have struggled to grow beyond your childhood conditioning and the effects of your environment… I say two things:

1. You are the true light giver! You have, without realizing it, given inspiration to those around you that so much more is possible. Rather than wallowing in the excuse of victimization, you have proven you have the power to determine the outcome of your life.

2. Never give up! As you expand the self imposed barriers of your imagination into new areas of what is possible, you move all of mankind along with you. Your personal spiritual journey benefits us all. Never let the momentary feelings of being overwhelmed or discouraged become the dead-end of your journey.

There are billions who are a few steps behind you.

One day some of them will take the same steps you have taken and find themselves in the same place you now find yourself. The good your life has created will benefit those who, like you, have found the courage to step into a life they choose to create… not a life that was chosen for them.

In the end, your life’s journey will be a gift to mankind.

“Anything is possible. Your life is a Master Class on deciding how you prove it”.
