Pirates

There has got to be a way to access your own personal treasure. Meditation, prayer, self power, pure determination, and drugs seem to be the obvious influences in the lives of many writers, actors, musicians, entertainers, and many other peoples of greatness that we tend to be obsessed with in this day and age. But, what does it really take, to tap the well of our own personal greatness?

Many of us tend to mimic the path of others, like getting extremely high expecting the same results of the artist who claims to live on drug that we are with experimenting. Sometimes we might attend the same schooling, move to the same city, imitate the individual or even take things further even. I’m sure some people have had success in these circumstances, and I’m positive many have failed.

What is the secret? Is there one? No I’m sure there is no universal answer. Each person is so different, from emotional states, past experiences, dreams, and talents it is impossible to have a cookie cutter steps to success program. But, I believe we do have a map, an internal map that only we can read.

What is the treasure to be found? Maybe it’s a life of solitude and quietness, maybe it’s on stage in front of millions, maybe it’s to start a new colony, or even to be the best at what ever you do. The routes to our greatness relies on us, or maybe it is all complete chance and luck, I don’t know. But, many as long as we keep looking at the map the treasure will be found.
