* Becoming a Force of Nature

There are people who live their lives as if they were a force of nature. They seem to always get what they desire and be unaffected by the events around them. Around these people others make it a rule to follow them or get out of their way. These "forces of nature" can be violent and demanding, or seductive and compelling, or both. They often personify an energy. This energy may be specific or undefined in nature.

An example is the fictional Darth Vader who personifies an energy of sheer will.

A living example of this type of persona is Playboy magazine founder, Hugh Hefner, who is the personification of the power of hedonistic fulfillment and Eros.

Napoleon Bonaparte, Salvador Dali, Gambino crime boss John Gotti, and former president Bill Clinton are others to name a few. Not all of these "forces of nature" seek fame. Many aspire only to live their lives as they wish.

Have you ever met someone who lives life as if they are force of nature?

When you've taken the opportunity to speak with them, what you'll learn is that they can tell you exactly what they are going to accomplish. They will tell you this with a calm and unshakable sense of certainty. They may even seem as if they have already accomplished it or as if they have seen the future and have come back to tell you what will happen.

Because they have thought so thoroughly about what they want and how they want to live as they go after it, unforeseen events are rare and of little consequence.

The worst thing an unforeseen event might do is delay the inevitable attainment of their goal.

When the unforeseen occurs, they have a plan on how they will respond. That is the depth of their self-understanding.

Anyone who is within the presence of these rare people will feel both a soothing calmness and an unstoppable force emanating from their character.

Upon first evaluation, one might conclude that these living monoliths of achievement are motivated by endless ambition, but that would be inaccurate. Rather, they are moved by an unshakable sense of destiny.

While these people appear human in every way, they seem to move through the world more like a force of nature in and of themselves. Life is an adventure, and their goals and accomplishments are landmarks and milestones of their journey. They view success and failure with an unwavering detachment.

Their intent is so firm that all they know is their goal will be accomplished. Time is of no consequence to them because, like a god looking down from Mount Olympus, eventually all will transpire as they have laid it out and neither the winds, the waters, nor the wills of man can stop them.

They make their achievements seem easy and cause us to ask, "Why shouldn't I be able to do what they do?"

This is the life YOU could live; all you must do is choose it.

* Your Outward Appearance

This section is not about dressing for success because even an idiot can do that. This is about your presentation as a person and how you move and interact with those around you.

The first advice is simple: Move as if you have a purpose. Moving as if you have a purpose means moving as if you are not just pulled though space but also through time. You are being pulled in the direction of your goals.

This is important for two reasons. The first is you do have a purpose, and even though you may never discuss it outwardly, it is through your purposeful actions and movements that others will take note and either assist you or move out of your way.

The second reason is more subtle and internal. When you move as if you have a purpose, you are intentionally affecting your physiology. Any actor trained in "method acting" will tell you that if you do enough outward expressions of an emotional state, you will begin to feel that emotional state take hold of you.

Moving with a purpose will strengthen every aspect of your purpose.

During the early part of the last century, a young reporter was instructed to visit Mohandas Gandhi at a hospice for the dying in India and ask to observe Gandhi as he went about his daily routine. What he observed seemed unapparent at first but quickly became obvious. Gandhi moved as if he was being pulled by some greater force. That force was his sense of purpose.

* Create a Mythology

One way to strengthen your sense of purpose is to create a mythology that describes your life and then live to fulfill it.

Many people have created their personal mythology from thin air and have often been revealed as frauds. To avoid this, remember that almost every good hero of mythical greatness begins with a humble origin. This holds true in the stories from the biblical Moses to the fictional Luke Skywalker. Start your mythology where you are at and build on it. By asking yourself, "What would the very best me do?" you can direct your course with acts that seem as though you are pulled in the direction of your greater purpose.

* Your Internal State Of Mind

There is a constant force that is created when we have a goal and make a plan to go after it. The force is that not everything will go our way, the difference between what we plan and what actually occurs. This is often referred to as "Friction." This Friction is a constant component of life; we plan one thing grandiose, and some unforeseen event stalls our progress.

Friction is not an enemy but a natural element which, like the weather, we can sometimes predict but seldom control. Fighting the friction of life is as futile as fighting a hurricane, so instead, let it become your teacher as you become it's most dutiful student.

What it teaches is the endless value of flexibility and being able to adapt to changing situations. There will always be friction; therefore, there will always be lessons to learn.

Friction cannot be pleaded with or manipulated. Friction is as cold and uncaring as the winter sea, but it can be a teacher as wise as Aristotle.

To become a Force of Nature, you must abandon whatever doubt you have, whether or not we each deserve to have what we deeply want. What is proposed is that you should get what you want -- if you know in precise detail what you want, if you know in precise detail the steps to getting it, if you are absolutely willing to do each step, and if you are flexible enough to embrace and adapt to the friction of life.
