Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers....

Speaking of slumbering.... I am just up form a long winter's nap. A snow covered trail beckoned me this early afternoon. Actually, @harmongreg tweeted he was going sledding and that's all I needed to  conjure up the idea to seek a bit of nature. And seek did I - hiked for two and half hours in Virginia Kendall National Park. Somewhere along the way the temperature started to fall. That, combined with the hills created a great taxing environment. So much so, that I arrived home, slugged a skin of agua and crawled under the covers. Wow!


Some two hours later.... here I am! With slumbering powers! Or at least a refreshed set of neurons that need to be put to use. While resting a recalled, funny how that happens as I thought I was resting, a quote by Orison Sweet Marden. "Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers..... powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing.... forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action". I theorize that quote came to me as I prepare for a life changing event. 


Looking deeper, its the preparation that I am fond of. That tedious work that leads to Providence. Ok, maybe that's too profound of a word for this writing and it is meant in a smaller singular fashion. Nonetheless, careful efforts yield the results we desire. 


So what does it take to release those powers with in all of us? At the core, it comes down to environment and there are two schools of thought here. First, if you are nurtured in an environment of support with direction your chances of accessing those powers are greater. Why? Confidence. Many time individuals harbor latent fears that prohibit them in making decisions that will revolutionize their life. Second, there are those keen people who rise above it all and in the face of adversity must access those powers to just survive. Case in point are the countless immigrants who come to this great Country and succeed. Think Ahuja.


Over the next few months I will be making some great life decisions. I am excited to see how they unfold. In the meantime, I will prepare each day and reflect at night keeping my arousal for life and hope that I can revolutionize a corner of this world that will add to the well-being of my family, my friends, my community and the whole of humanity.
