For sometime now I have had this feeling of uneasiness within me. This uneasiness has stemmed from wanting to continue to play Professional Basketball overseas, but due to the pandemic I have not been able to continue living my dreams. Fortunately, I have continued doing what I love and have created a business out of my passion by training kids of all ages with one on one training and group training. Also, I have continued with my Basketball and weight lifting training.
Surprisingly, after many meditation sessions and periods of reflection I have come to the stark realization that deep down inside I really want to become the best in the world at something entirely different than just becoming “the greatest overseas Basketball player in history”. This has been a goal of mine for many years but I have come to realize that this goal is quite limiting and does not actually serve the greater good of humanity. With that in mind, I have decided that I would like to make a positive impact as entrepreneur within the health and fitness industry as well as a writer.
To be totally honest, the GOAT in Basketball is arguably Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. And if you don’t know I am neither 6’6″ or 6″7″ and have not accomplished what they have when they were at my current age. After reflecting on this, I kept thinking and asking myself: how can I embrace my natural God given gifts, talents, abilities and make the greatest positive, useful impact on the world and as a result become one of the greatest in history in my particular domain.
My answer: utilize my incredible athletic abilities such as my speed, quickness, shredded physique, love of people, ability to connect with anyone, charm, my looks, writing abilities, work ethic, ideas, loving heart, desire to help humanity, desire to become the greatest of all time at something, etc.
This has been what was on my mind for the past year now. I have wrestled with thoughts of just getting on a plane and continuing my pursuit of greatness as an overseas Basketball player or building out my legacy with my business here in America. With everything going on in the world as far as the pandemic, my age, my accomplishments thus far, my realizations and awakening to the idea that I have not tapped into my God given abilities, I have decided to build my athleticism/physique, my business and through these two paths I will have a much greater chance of having the impact I would like to have on humanity as well as becoming one of the greats in my domain.
Thus, this explains my feeling of uneasiness and now I can honestly say I am at greater peace with myself and the world with having this awareness and can now move forward in my pursuit of greatness.
It is my hope that you too will take the time to reflect on your path in life and come to your own awakening and either continue on your path or redirect your focus, time, and energies on a path more aligned with how you want to make your mark on the world.
