Sometimes, we go through ten years or more of extreme anxiety and chronic fatigue or other tragic circumstances, like I did. The key is to keep trying during these times, throwing stuff at the wall, learning new skills, and doing all we can to care for ourselves and others. If we put in the effort, then out of the blue, our circumstances can do a 360, where we suddenly are cured of our ailments and on the path to an overwhelming victory. Reading, developing our hobbies and passions, and working on our health and spirituality are all tools for overcoming. And great things happen when we enter the overcoming phase, which we inevitably will.
For example, I don’t tend to listen to music with lyrics, as I am sensitive to the words and want to hear only uplifting lyrics. A loved one wrote this incredible song, and he is so positive and inspiring that he is rapidly becoming a micro-influencer with some influential and famous people on social media. So, we’re going to have his songs produced. We’ll then market and sell them on music platforms. I’ve found the singer and musician, and if I get a tax credit within the next few months, I’ll use part of it to pay the singer for her music and vocals. My loved one’s songs are at a much more advanced level of wisdom than I possess and can make a person feel amazing! The songs are inspirational to me. I’ll then put them on Spotify and Apple Music and market the album in Cineplex and the theatres. The music is premised on love for everyone. After all, love is the purpose of life.
Also, I have always wanted to create a course. A decade ago, I auditioned to make a course for LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com). At that time, I was physically sick frequently and anxiety-riddled, unable to hold a job for nearly a decade. I only had a few skills outside of a camera and some podcasting abilities, mainly because I couldn’t afford essential software and courses. And I was devastated when Lynda.com rejected me. But today, I applied to create a LinkedIn Learning course; fingers are crossed! My portfolio is a thousand times better and includes AI video production.
It’s strange, but for over a decade, I had read books on video production, done video work through a university TV station, and attended a national film board workshop. Still, I couldn’t create a video on my own. However, it all gelled with some one-on-one video training from a former colleague and from a digital marketing certificate course that taught producing for YouTube. This exposure helped me take my video skills to the next level. In about a week, it just gelled. And ChatGPT helped, too. So, I learned that when we keep trying to learn new skills that excite us, even if we have hardly a budget, a particular point occurs in life if we persist, where it all gels. Then, we gain a significantly higher level of mastery at hyper speed.
Additionally, I saw in the Philosophy of Science book how Galileo and Newton transformed the scientific paradigm. I’ve got some insights that could generate a new scientific paradigm that is grossly overlooked, and I submitted my ideas for publication in an online magazine. It relates to my observations and philosophy on motion parallax. Last night, ChatGPT told me that virtual reality and augmented reality hold the key to measuring motion parallax phenomena, and it advised me on tools and coordinate systems. Getting a Doctor of Business Administration degree may give me the credibility to advance these theories in academic literature.
However, today, an ad popped up for a Chief Marketing Officer certificate with Kellogg School, a top US Ivy League School, so I aim to take that first if I can figure out how to afford it. It’ll take me closer to the goal of a CMO role, perhaps within five years. Also, I’ve moved to the second round of interviews for an exciting career that pays $140,000 a year in a director position. These things appear out of nowhere and can do similarly for all of us, no matter where we are today, regardless of disability or circumstances.
I want to stop here and advise us that only four years ago, I was recovering from a nearly ten-year stint of unemployment due to extreme nausea from chronic fatigue and severe, prolonged anxiety attacks. Many of us may have situations such as this. So, I’m in shock and disbelief that things are unfolding as positively as they suddenly are.
Therefore, I want to share the critical ingredients for this success so that any of us with conditions like mine might do the same. I emphasize the following: 1. spiritual, religious, and ethical development; 2. the Marriage Foundation’s views on unconditional love (which helped me enormously), 3. continuous learning and massive amounts of reading, 4. heavy exercise, 5. extreme diet, 6. constantly applying for careers, even when it seems hopeless, as a higher income opens incredible professional development opportunities, and 7. big impossible goals and dreams. If we want to try this or a similar formula, we may flourish incredibly, too, assuming I have the variables accurately assessed, which I think I do.
Just keep throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks. We can make all our dreams come true, and when we get close to God or, for atheists, unconditional love for all, incredible things skyrocket. At least, that’s my experience, and I think it applies to everyone. We’ve all got missions, and I believe the successful completion of those missions stems from unconditional love.
And if we’re young, know that often our best works happen later in life. Just keep learning and trying, and it will all culminate in our missions accomplished. There is something to say about the experience and the wisdom that evolves from facing trauma and setbacks with nothing but a heart full of love! We’ve all got potential, even in our 90s and on the verge of dying, for nothing is impossible, arguably by following the correct formulae for unbelievable success! And we’ve all got what it takes to shine for all eternity; that light is who we are: souls of pure, unconditional love.
