Who is an awakened person?
To be awakened is to be alive. You can be alive in life yet dead. The moment you are awakened, you find life and you start living. You can only wake up from your sleep.
Have you been sleeping? This is the time to awake and rise up. To be walking does not mean one is living. One can be the living dead. I know that you my friend are living and are very much awakened.
Awakened people have pillars that holds their lives. Just like buildings, any building without pillars will fall greatly because pillars hold the entire structure of the building.
A pillar is a foundation. Now, what are the pillars an awakened person is having? An awakened person is:
- Never a victim
An awakened person is never a victim of his or her circumstances. He or she understands the fact that life can happen to anyone at any time.
They are never a victim and does not really expect anyone to feel sorry for them.
They don’t expect to be pitied but they really take life by the colour. They face and take life by the horns.
They know and understand that if there is a problem in their life, the problem is them since life starts with them.
They don’t really play a blame game. If there is a mess in their life, they know they are the cause.
Instead, an awakened person takes responsibility for their life. They know that they must wake up and take charge over their life.
They understand the fact that taking responsibility is very key. Are you a victim of any kind in your life? It’s time you take responsibility for your life. It’s your life after all.
2. Guided by passionate intention and not rigid plans
Your actions must be guided by what the moment is offering and not what you think the moment should offer.
You heard that? Let me repeat, your actions need to be guided by what the moment is offering and not what you think the moment should offer.
In other words, an awakened person does not lead the moment, they are led by the moment so that they cannot find themselves in front of the moment. Many people today lead the moment, no my friend, you need to be led by the moment.
When you lead the moment, you will force things. You will force the unfitting pieces of the puzzle to fit in.
So an awakened person studies the moment like an investor studies the next economic boom.
They analyze the events till everything aligns well. They are guided by what the moment is offering at that very moment.
3. Knows the impossible is possible
An awakened person knows and understand the fact that all things are possible.
Anything is possible with them. They approach everything in their life with this concrete understanding.
What you believe is very key because it is able to control your life. When you control your feelings, you control your reality.
One of the greatest beliefs that an awakened person has is the fact that the impossible is very much possible.
What seems to be impossible can be very much possible. What is impossible today can be possible tomorrow or even right now. Anything can happen.
Things can change at any given time. Anything can happen at any time. Is there something you are facing today?
Take it from me that things won’t remain as they are forever. Your breakthrough is coming and you are definitely closer than you think. Just keep going.
4. You control your reality by controlling your beliefs
What do you believe? Do you know that your beliefs determine your reality? In fact your reality is in your hands. Wait a minute, is my reality not in the hands of God?
Let’s look at this example. When a woman is pregnant by “mistake”, the baby is still coming. The woman must have made the mistake according to her but the baby is here or coming.
Now, God should have stopped the woman from being pregnant in the first place. Why did God allow the mistake to occur? It is also like that with your beliefs.
You live your life being pregnant with all sorts of beliefs and all these beliefs have determined your reality today.
Your beliefs determine your reality. This sounds somehow but that’s the reality. If a woman gives birth to what she is pregnant with, everyone will give birth to whatever is controlling their life which is their beliefs.
What do you believe about God, life, money, people and love? Whatever the beliefs you have regarding God, life, money, people and life will indeed control your life. Your beliefs control your realities. Your beliefs determine your realities.
Some say you need to face the reality. Face the reality and do something about it. Don’t just face the reality but also create it. Face and create the reality. You can’t outsource this.
5. Life and God like speed
When God is in motion, you have to act like now. You can’t say you will save the move for the next time. When God is moving now, the main thing is to move now.
When life is moving, you move with it. Never delay and postpone movements more especially when the occasion is demanding.
Many have missed their moment of opportunity in their life simply because they could not move when God was moving.
They could not move when life was in motion. When God is fast you have to be fast. The same can be said about when God is slow.
When the moment is demanding movement, the main thing is to move before one misses their moment. When you miss your moment, you will have to wait for the next movement again.
When will be the next movement? I too don’t know. It can be 5 years, 4 months but whatever. The main thing is to focus and concentrate on the moment.
6. Gratitude
Gratitude is the best attitude. Gratitude is a powerful secret of life. Gratitude is just a lot man. Your life can go up through gratitude. Your life can go down by lacking gratitude. Gratitude can make or break you my friend.
When you are grateful, you will increase in life and a person. The moment you lack gratitude, you will surely degrease. Everything around you will surely go down. Learn to be grateful for even the smallest things.
If you are not grateful, then you are complaining. Gratitude makes room for more.
The more you are grateful, the more you will have in you life. You will increase. You will even go forward.
Complaining on the other hand will decrease you as a person. Everything concerning you will gradually go down if you are a complaining person.
Complaining will chase away all the good things that are supposed to enter your life. Take complaining like poison.
Poison kills, so is complaining. Complaining works exactly like poison. When you are complaining, you are injecting poison back to your life.
An awakened person understand the mystery behind gratitude. They use gratitude as one of their pillars. No wonder they are always going up.
No wonder they are always progressing in life. Embrace the power of gratitude today and witness a greater change in your entire life.
7. Never stop growing
An awakened person never stops growing. Growth is one of the pillars of an awakened person.
The trick is to keep learning because as you are learning, you are growing. Learning opens a door to growth. Food alone is not enough.
Through learning, you will grow to leaps and bounds. Embrace the power of learning. Use each and every opportunity to be a learned person.
The very same learning will also sustain your growth. Life comes from learning. When you are not learning, you are dying and when you are dying, you are not growing.
So an awakened person understand the power of learning and they embrace it.
Growing will always push you forward towards your dreams. Learning is there to bridge the gap between you and your end dreams.
When you are growing, you are busy shortening the distance between you and the achievement of your dreams.
If you want to arrive quickly at your destination, grow by learning and other transports of growing. When you are not growing, you will take time to achieve and fulfill your goals and dreams.
The main thing is to grow. Grow and shorten the gap between you and your destination. An awakened person understand all of this and lives by it.
