You'll Never Arrive

There is a God-like frequency within every single man.

 I believe it's man's duty in life to self-actualize this godlike frequency and become an intimation of it.

Not just physically through the prowess of his physical appearance, but mentally, spiritually, and financially.

God is perfect in every single way.

In Orthodox Christianity, the idea of sanctification is the process of becoming like Christ.

The reason why they set that as the goal is because you'll never achieve it, Christ was supposed to be the embodiment of perfection.

Humans are inherently flawed in the way we were built, we were designed to be imperfect.

So it’s important to set this unrealistic goal of perfection because then the main focus becomes on the journey more than the destination.

I do think this is why religion is useful for pretty much anybody that goes towards it…

Having a judge, which in the context of Christianity is the figure of Christ, always keeps you questioning your decisions and behaviors…

Because when the judge is literally perfect, you start to see what you need to get rid of because it’s not aligned with perfection.

But anyways, this isn’t supposed to be a pitch for you to come to Jesus…

What I’m getting at is that it’s the unfoldment of the journey that truly matters, and this is the unfoldment of the god-like frequency.

One thing my mentor told me, and I'll never forget this…

“You are never going to arrive, you are constantly arriving.”

For the longest time, I was only focused on the destination.

When I get my Porsche, then I'll be complete.

When I hit $100,000 in my bank account, then I'll be complete.

And the truth is, every single time I'd hit my goal, I would hit a massive depression afterward.

I never really understood what my mentor meant by you will never arrive until I was on the ground in my living room crying because I was so confused.

It’s like, “What the fuck? I thought I was going to be happy.”

But that’s the problem when the happiness is attached to the destination, it’s constantly fleeting…

And you’re having to create new destinations over and over and over again…

But the journey is always there, you can’t attain it, you can only be present in it.

This is such a difficult concept to embody, I try so hard to focus on it but I find myself straying from it all the time.

I think at this point in my life what I’ve realized is I get more satisfaction from simple consistency rather than the attainment of the goal.

The goal is kind of a nice checkpoint…

But it’s the consistency that actually brings me pride, peace, and joy.
