You Must Be Relentless
I’ve never been a very competitive person…except with myself. When I was little, my mom always told me, “Be the best you can be and that is enough,” and that became my philosophy of life.
It wasn’t until I was in my fifth year of college that I discovered I could sing. I never thought of myself as competing with other singers or anything else for that matter, but rather I sought to perform each time better than previous times. With the faculty giving me encouragement, I became obsessed with perfecting my singing skills and within a few months, they made me a soloist and had me singing at fashion shows, musicals, church services, weddings, recitals, and oratorios. From that time on singing has always been a fun part of my life and it brought me countless hours of enjoyment.
Why I Named my Company QuantumQuests
I took inspiration from a famous opera singer, Luciano Pavarotti who said, “The rivalry is with yourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.” From that time in college, I became passionate about singing and was relentless in performing better each time and in a way that I found fun and inspiring to others.
While in college, beyond singing, I came to realize that the underlying purpose in life is to evolve spiritually and so I began a meditative practice. I always prefaced my meditations with an important intention and request. At the beginning of each meditation, I always asked to be open to the next quantum leap in consciousness. Hence, the name of my company became QuantumQuests.
Relentless Desire Carries You Forward
There is a story of a spiritual teacher who responded to a students request to become enlightened by holding the student under water until the student was afraid he’d drown. When the teacher finally released the student who was gasping for air, he asked the teacher why he did that and the teacher said, “When you desire enlightenment as much as you desired air, you will attain it.”
You attain in life what you commit to and focus your lifeforce energy on. The stronger your desire and commitment the further you can go. Your competitiveness should lie primarily on how well you apply yourself to excelling in being mindful, clearing obstacles, and focusing on performing the best you can. You are your only opponent.
50 years ago a spiritual teacher told me the most important quality that is needed to evolve on a spiritual path is desire. Undoubtedly, that is the most important quality to excel in attaining any goal. So when several years ago I ran across a book titled Relentless by Tim Grover, I made the title of the book my mantra. The subtitle tells you more: From Good to Great to Unstoppable. To this day, I repeat the word “Relentless” to myself many times when I am playing tennis and it helps keep me focused.
I told a friend of mine who won a gold medal at the summer Olympics years ago about the book Relentless, and he gave the book to his son who is one of the top players at a local tennis academy. He told me he carries the book around with him and reads from it every day. You, too, would find it motivational for keeping focused on all your goals including your spiritual ones.
Your desires and relentlessness directs your lifeforce energy to reaching what you want. For me, I’ve regarded spiritual discoveries and evolution as a primary focus in my life. As a result of many thousands of hours of relentless seeking, trial and error, as well as a dedication to spiritual practices I have refined a number of higher-sense skills I can apply to help you.
We are living in a special time in history in which accelerating spiritual energies can carry you forward in your evolution beyond what you’ve achieved in all of your previous past lives. I recently created a new website dedicated to my private sessions through which I can help you be relentless in your spiritual evolution. Don’t let your opportunities in this lifetime pass you by. You’ll find a lot more details than I’ve ever posted on my sessions before in my dedicated session website. You’ll find it here: Private Sessions
If you feel ready to make quantum leaps on your spiritual path, relentlessly commit to it, and send me an email to set up a series of sessions in the coming year to support you as I’ve done for thousands of others. I already know what you can achieve and you don’t have to waste your time in trial and error to reach enlightened levels.
I look forward to talking to you soon.
From the Heart,
Jonathan
