A Full Moon and Our Human Potential

Last night I was sitting in my room deep in thought, contemplating on what my next post should be about.

Then I received a text.

It was from my girlfriend Fernanda. The text read, ” Bud look at the moon it’s so beautiful.” I quickly looked out my window and was instantly mesmerized with the beauty of the full moon shining brightly in the sky.

A full moon and and human potential. Hm.

I now had an idea for my next blog post.

The moon has been a great source of inspiration to countless individuals and has given hope to millions throughout the history of the world.

The moon is more than a celestial  body in the sky.

Much much more.

The moon represents our dreams, our aspirations, but most importantly it represents our endless human potential.

When we look at the full moon we are astonished at its beauty. Only once a month does it reach it’s full potential and thoroughly light up the sky, but when it does the world truly glows.

We are attracted to the moon because when we look at it we know anything is possible.

We can get our dream job. We can find our dream spouse. We can do anything we want. For a moment we have hope.

You see, the potential in each and everyone of us is endless. What we choose to do with our potential is ultimately up to us.  We are naturally calibrated to glow and to shine, yet our fears and our worries hinder our ability to radiate the beams of our soul.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We don’t have to live each day showing only a glimpse of our true potential.  We can consciously choose to let the full moon that lay dormant inside of us, shine and light up the world just as the moon in the sky does.

How do you this you might ask?

All we have to do is live.

I realize that truly living is something that can be very difficult to do, after all  there are many  reasons we are unhappy. And by no means am I perfect. I am not perfect, nor will I ever be. But I have a relentless desire to live to the best I am capable of. That relentlessness enables me to move closer to my goal of living a truly conscious life each and everyday.

It’s very easy to get caught up in all the things that are wrong with this world, yet it is our responsibility to represent hope. The only way we can truly represent hope is by living to our fullest potential. Is this easy?

Of course not. But since the pursuit of happiness is what we are aiming for we must live to our fullest potential. We must give. We must love. We must learn. We must glow. That is our true calling.

Yes we will make mistakes. Yes there will be some bumps in our path to happiness. Yes there will be times in which we want to give up. But we must persevere and remember that our purpose in living is larger than ourselves. Our purpose in living is to shine and to grow.

Unleash your full moon potential and light up our world with your love and your kindness.

We can never have too many full moons.

Live and glow today.
