Where do we experience the beauty of a summer day? Where do we experience the vastness of an ocean if we’re lucky enough to be on the shore, looking out at the waves? Where do we suddenly feel the beauty of some relationship that we have with someone? The presence of a love that we didn’t know before? A willingness to sacrifice something?

Hi,

This is Guy.

And before we start our study of the 21st key in our 31 keys to change your destiny,

I just want to touch on something that you may have never heard before but that I think if you listen carefully you'll recognize the truth of it.

I think it's stunning.

There will never be an experience that you or I will have that isn't already a part of our consciousness.

Just take a moment and let that sink in.

Where do we experience the beauty of a summer day?

Where do we experience the vastness of an ocean if we're lucky enough to be standing on the shore looking out at the waves?

Where do we suddenly feel the beauty of some relationship that we have with someone?

The presence of a love that we didn't know before,

A willingness to sacrifice something.

And the fact of the matter is that every last one of those moments produces in us an awareness of ourselves that we experience because of the relationship we're in with those conditions.

That means that those conditions that we see outside of ourself and whatever feeling grand or otherwise that those conditions produce are already a part of our consciousness.

There is actually nothing more empowering or beautiful than understanding that idea and particularly because it brings us to this 21st key in our 31 keys that we're going to call stop looking outside of yourself.

What we're looking at here is that our life is only as complete as we are moment to moment.

No more,

No less.

And looking to relationships,

Our work,

Even those happy events that we've had or promised for a feeling of self-wholeness is like trying to put a smile on our face in a mirror while we're still frowning.

Being complete is first an understanding and then a feeling.

Let me repeat it.

Being complete is first part of an awareness of ourselves as we are,

The totality of ourself and then a feeling.

When we look outside of ourselves to find a sense of being complete,

We're looking for that sense of completeness from a nature that wouldn't be looking for it if it didn't feel somehow it was incomplete.

If we will seek the understanding and then actualize this new knowledge that we mustn't look outside of ourselves or the moment for the sense of freedom and wholeness that our heart of heart longs for,

Instead we must seek it within.

If we'll do that,

The feeling will follow.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow for our 22nd of these important keys.

It's entitled Have Your Own Life.
