Ok, I guess my blogging mood is back after a 4 months off. Yeah, a lot of things happened in my life lately, nothing painful than the demise of my beloved granny. She was a kind old lady who dotted on me since I was a kid. In the end, I was just pleased she led a riped eventful life. On a personal note, things are moving well too, thanks Marie Callas for her powerful talisman I been carrying around in my wallet.
Yesterday I had an inspiration to write about a few famous people and how they relate to my learning of spirituality and Marie Callas’ knowledge about it.
The first one in my mind is “Terminator” – none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now the Governor of California and previously one of my favourite action stars. He was also an Olympian and a great bodybuilder.
I read in a book about him. Why and how could he rise from an obscure kid in Austria to one of the most famous faces in the world?
Yea, he has his own set of life philosophy and this results in success in things he embarked on.
“The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it – as long as you really believe 100%.”
Yes, I type that out in my computer and printed it. Yes, I will hang that phrase on my wall until the paper turns yellow and deteriorated. Read that many times each day. And so should you.
From my read, i learn that Arnold always is a great visualiser. Is this the really the key to life success? The seed of any success in life? Marie Callas teaches me that we need to visualise being exactly where you want to be. I said EXACTLY. See it, feel it, smell it, dream it. And then one day you’ll really get to touch it, hold it, be it, and have it. Be as real as possible, just like yourself in a vivid dream while sleeping.
Dreams always beget action. I guess the action bit is usually the stumbling block for most folks. But you know, it doesn’t have to be. You just have to learn to break huge tasks down into very small doable pieces and start. Simple really.
Last but not least, another famous quote from Arnold: “For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.”
