"The most common commodity in this country is unrealized potential."-Calvin Coolidge
Limitations are the barriers which hold your mind form reaching your potential. As a child you never truly put a limit on your abilities, so why now? Dreams of flying a plane, building a sky scraper or running a Marathon like Jackie Robinson circled your mind as enthusiasm bubbled within you. Jumping for joy you preceded to dream bigger than ever, like Really big! Yet, something changed? Was it your parents divorce, naysayers saying don't try it because they failed, or yourshattered self esteem when your boyfriend didn't tell you he loved you back. Who knows! Which ever the case you need to rekindle your unlimited potential again. Without it you will never reach the pinnacle of the authentic you. Inner joy won't fill you heart as your soul crys out with enthusiasm from goal achievement. Inside your heart lies the motivation pulsing throughout your system for peace. Peace from limiting yourself from what you think you can do, into what you can actually achieve. Imagine if Roger Banister, Michael Jordan, or Micheal Phelps limited themselves. Where would they be today? Supermarket managers, Bus drivers, carpenters or even school teachers. Imagine if Michael Jordan was an art teacher? Pretty trippy right. He never limited himself from believing he could pursuit what made him happy. You must never stop pursuing your happiness, because if you can dream it, it yours!
Motivation for all dreams can be learned from undersatnding how to think positive.So here are a few video of people who can keep you motivated. They say it better than I can!
Michael Jordan
Roger Bannisterr - Ran 4 minute mile
P.S " They said it was Impossible"...hehe
Michael Phelps
How have you lifted the limits of your mind? did you find this inspiring?
Awesome post here Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteI love the Calvin Coolidge quote, and sadly it's still true. You pointed out something very important in this article, Jonathan, and that is one should allow nothing to stop us from pursuing our dream! Nothing! There's another great quote in this article and YOU said it! "You must never stop pursuing your happiness, because if you can dream it, it yours!" WOW! Now that is a great quote and I thank you for inspiring me today!
You know, there are some people who I actually don't share my dreams with because they're what I affectionately refer to as "dream squashers." I'd prefer to protect my little baby dreams until they're strong enough to fly on their own, and then I'll show them off to people, "Look, there are my dreams - taking off just like I thought they could."
ReplyDeleteOur subconscious minds store everything --- good, bad, right or wrong; Dream squashers have no place in my subconscious, so I don't even bother. I keep my energy focused on making dreams come true.
Loved the examples you shared, Jonathan. Very inspiring!
Great post!
"Peace from limiting yourself from what you think you can do, into what you can actually achieve. Limitations are the barriers which hold your mind form reaching your potential." Very very nice post regarding recharge self confidence and motivations. Thanks for sharing.
