"It's not about what you do, it's about who you are becoming."-Elliott Hulse.
That quote, has stuck with me since the day I heard it. We go through life, and we have it all laid out in front of us. We have the perfect college lined up, with the perfect job after college, with the woman of our dreams, the perfect car, house, kids, friends, everything. We have it all planned out. And live in this bubble, that we form around ourselves where nothing gets in and nothing gets out. Until, it does. Then we are stuck there, wondering what the hell we are going to do. We fabricate this world around us, and forget that there is a whole outside world, itching to get in. What does that, have to do with the quote mentioned? It has everything to do with it. Because, it's never about what you do. You can do whatever you want in life. You can do anything to your hearts content. But, who are you becoming in that process? Who are you, at the end of the day?
You see, you can go to college, get a job, get a house, a wife, kids. But, who are you? Look in the mirror and ask yourself who are you becoming? Is it the person you thought it would be? Is your life's work beneficial or detrimental to your life? Are you becoming a better father, husband, son, daughter, wife, person? Or, is it acting negatively upon your life? These are the things we don't look at when we make choices. When we plan our lives out. We don't realize, that each choice we make grows us as a person. It creates a new avenue for personality traits to slip in, that we never knew we harbored. You may become the best lawyer, the best basketball player, best power lifter, the best at what you sought out to do. What did that gain you? Besides a trophy, besides bragging rights? Who are you becoming as a person, along with what you are doing?
We often find ourselves at a loss. We hate our lives, our jobs, our situation. We hate a lot of things. Instead of loving life. Life is a wonderful thing man, it really is. Life is what you make it out to be. Life is how you perceive it. If all you do is watch the news, you are going to see the world differently than if you went out and experienced it yourself. Are you living your life through the eyes of someone else through a screen? Do you see the world through a looking glass, and it's all negative all the time? Bring the positive into YOUR world. Be a better you, a stronger you, a happier more vibrant YOU. Quit worrying about what goes on in the world, you can't change other peoples minds. But you sure as hell can change your own damn mind. Instead of watching television and the news at night, or during the day. Pick up a book. Live your life through the eyes of a fictional character. And realize, that the life you live is full of adventures like those you read about just in a different form.
Life is what you make it. It really is, it's nothing short of greatness. You are nothing short of greatness. You just have to unlock your greatness. You have to BECOME who you want to be. King, magician, warrior and lover. Such a good book by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette. Every man has those traits in him. And every man needs to unlock them, and know when to be them.
Be the King of your castle. Rule, not with an iron fist, but not with a soft fist either. Prove you deserve the role of King. And treat others accordingly. Your wife, like a Queen. Your sons, like princes. Daughters, like princesses. Treat your kingdom, rightfully so. Never relinquish your rights as King. Prove that you have what it takes to provide for your castle. Become King in everything you do. Become King when the timing is right, and rule over your life.
Be the Magician, the one who gets things done. Be the magician, and make the magic happen. Make people in awe at you and all that you do. Be magical in all aspects of your lives. Never reveal your secrets. When things look rough, always make that positivity appear.
Be the Warrior. Go to battle for your kids, your family, your wife, yourself. Do not be afraid of getting your hands dirty. Get down to it, and get it done. Be on the front lines for yourself and your family. Be a warrior in life, take what you want. Be what you want. Never cower in fear, you are the fear.
Be the Lover. Tender and kind in all that you do. Even in times of war. Know when to be loving. Know when to put the ego aside. Know when peace is needed, and when it is not. Do not go through life minus the lover side of you.
Be all these, they are all 1/4th of your being. Know when to let the ego slide. Know when to get ride of the 'I' persona that is in all of us. Know when to be a King, when to be a Magician, when to be a Warrior and when to be a Lover. Get them balanced in your life. Be who you are, and be who you are strongly.
Who are you becoming? Are you becoming who you thought you were going to become? Are you becoming who you SHOULD be becoming in your own mind? Why or why not? The choice is yours. The ball is in your court. It matters not what you are doing in life, only who you are becoming. A wolf does not concern himself with the opinion of a sheep. Nor should you concern yourself with the opinions of those who are stuck in life themselves.
Would you take the opinion on losing weight, from someone who is overweight? Would you take the opinion on being a successful business man, from someone who never owned their own business? These are the things you need to ask yourself when someone offers you advice. Take each word of advice you are given with a grain of rice. And sift through the bullshit. Dictate your own life, like a King would. Only you can crown your fucking self. Only you can snatch that crown from the naysayers. Be a King, Magician, Warrior, and Lover. Look at who you are becoming, it is far more important than what you are doing. Live your life, and have fun with it.
