If money,
education, social status and so on, were no hindrance what would you
want out of life? If all the knowledge and wealth in the world were at
your disposal what would you want to be and to do?
Even with all the resources at your disposal, it is very likely that
you would still struggle to come up with the goals that you are absolutely
passionate about and to which you would dedicate every waking hour.
Therein lies the problem – it is not your possibilities that are
limited, it is your thinking!
Your vision is limited only by you. The problem is that you don't know what you should be. It's not your fault, really: your education has messed you up. It has taken your boundless potential and shrunk it and shaped it into a narrow title. You are a "nurse", or "accountant" or "driver. It doesn't matter what title has been placed on you, you need to
break free from it. You are not what you do. See yourself as the truly
capable human being that you are. This requires that you look deep within and examine your mindset. Are
there things you have accepted simply because everyone else seems to
accept them? Have you accepted society's standards as your own?
A word of caution: society celebrates mediocrity. Ordinary people do not like it when others get ahead. It only exposes their lack of vision and motivation. That is why mediocrity is often embraced and excellence is shunned. Being ordinary is acceptable. If you want more, there is something wrong with you.If something is widely accepted and everyone is doing it, it is probably better for you as a dreamer not to do it. If you want to get what everyone else is getting, do what everyone else is doing. It is not difficult to see the results others are getting from what they are doing. The good news is you don't have to do what they are doing. Find your own way. Utilize the potential within you.
Dig out your potential like a prospector digs for oil. The oil has
always been there just waiting to be tapped. But if no one bothered to
search for it and bring it to the surface it would just remain there
dormant, wasting and useless.So it is with your potential. If you do not challenge yourself to
grow beyond your present circumstances, it will just go in waste for you and the rest of humanity. It's up to you to help expand the collective consciousness!
Do not rob this world of such a great resource as yourself. Utilize your potential. Be all that you can be so that when you die, you will have utilized every single drop of your being.
Marianne Williamson said – "Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It
is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask
ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?"
