Disciplined Radical

Radical is not a bad thing, it needs to be Undefined. When we are radical, we are simply returning to the root. When we speak about radical it is about affecting the fundamental nature of something. When looked at this way we can turn radical around and use it as a means to discover ourselves, to explore our inherent nature, and to move out beyond the limitations we have come to believe about ourselves.

     I’m a radical, proud of it, and willing to express it in my life. We are beat down enough by society and the conditioning exerted on us daily from a young age. This is how we should behave and act. To go against the mainstream is not acceptable and is frowned upon. We are conditioned to be that which society deems proper and righteous. We’ll, on the other side of that fence is truth that can set you free. As long as you are harming no one else, never let society dictate how, or what you should be in your own radical pursuit. You define the truth about yourself, never give away that power.

Radical is a state of mind where we freely pursue the goals and Vision we have of ourselves and our life. To create a mindset based on radical allows energy to move continuously in the direction you want it flowing. Like a flowing river that has power, strength, flow, and peace we want to move like the water in the river. Directing our flow into a radical pursuit is taking charge of our lives no matter what age we are at or our personal circumstances. Building the discipline required to move your life in this direction takes deliberate practice. Set up daily rituals that speak to your heart and that will build the discipline required. Don’t be afraid to move out of the comfort zone and into the radical zone.

     Being a radical as you define it changes the equation. It changes it because you come up with and define this equation. It is not a societal equation you are thrust into. This radical gives you control of the one thing you can control in this lifetime, yourself. Take your radical pursuit to a new level, love it, nurture it, and kick ass with it.
