God sends angels to aid your path.
Angels of protection. Angels of redirection. Angels of guidance, and Angels in the Silence.
Sometimes the angels drag you off the road after a motorbike accident. Sometimes they spot you cash at the gas station checkout. Sometimes they sponsor your trip abroad, or pay off your loans. Sometimes they simply smile at you on the street, reminding you to do the same.
Sometimes, the angel is the man the mirror.
The Angels are all around us. They wear 1000 faces; They serve one God.
But I also believe that sometimes, you need to call your Angels in. A humble call for support.
I know that I am here for a massive mission. I know I am here to change the world. Perhaps that's arrogant. Perhaps that's what I need to make it happen.
Regardless, I'm in The Arena, swinging and bloodied.
And my unwillingness to compromise my values have come with the consequence of slower growth in business.
I won't shill you a greens powder. I will never promote a demonic Globocorp. I won't suppress/censor my message to go 'viral' on social media. I won't coach someone who can barely afford it. And I will NEVER sell a pdf.
Because of this, in pursuit of The Call this year, I am coming up on gas tank E.
Most people would be anxious and worried. Most would panic. I am not. I will not.
Since 'burning the boats' two years ago, I've had what can only be described as a delusional level of certainty that God will provide. A deep Knowing that it's all going to be ok.
But I do have low days.
Days filled with anxious thoughts and seeds of doubt. Days focused on the 'when?', the 'what'?, and the 'how?'. I've had more of them recently.
As I am closing out my reading of the Bible, I experience synchronous wisdom every day.
Yesterday I returned to The Gospels for Luke, and this passage was the Airdrop of reassurance I needed.
22 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek The Kingdom of God, and these things will be added to you.
Luke 12:22-31, ESV
Worry won't improve a thing.
In fact, it will restrict your ability to improve the situation. Fear is always the control mechanism of evil.
But I am aware that the 'God will provide' attitude can be a slippery slope of cope.
So I do not hold this belief to absolve myself from responsibility. Rather, I embody the faithful work required to meet God halfway. This is how I see the seesaw of Freewill and Fate.
God is always reaching towards Adam. But Adam must reach back.
There is no aid for idle hands. We are co-creating reality WITH God. We are His hands here on earth. Most often, we are the 'savior' we are praying for. WE MUST PARTICIPATE IN OUR OWN RESCUE.
The humility to ask for aid is part of that.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." -Matthew 7:7
So this is me, calling in my angels.
If you believe in what I am building here, I'm looking for assistance.
If you want to invest/partner in Virtus Athletica (my wellness brand launching in 2025) I am willing to discuss equity options in exchange for financing. They call it 'Angel' investing for a reason.
Similarly, if you want to sponsor/patron my creative work with The Vitruvian, all support is appreciated.
For either/both: please DM me on any social platform or email me at: vitruvianmanprogram@gmail.com
I promise that you will not find my hands idle.
Thanks for reading, share if you feel called. Otherwise, talk soon.
Be The Renaissance.
