Fitting goals to resources is a recipe for mediocrity. Creating a STRETCH between where you are and where you want to be is the most important step to take. Every simple step towards your goal is a positive experience.
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us" Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art, as of life." - Joseph Conrad
"We have made thee neither of heaven nor of earth,
Neither mortal nor immortal
So that with freedom of choice and with honour,
As though the maker and molder of thyself,
Thou mayest fashion thyself in whatever shape thou
shalt prefer.
Thou shalt have the power out of thy soul's
judgment,
To be reborn into the higher forms,which are
divine."
-GOD'S SPEECH TO ADAM FROM PICO DELLA MIRANDOLA'S ORATION ON THE DIGNITY OF MAN
Abraham Maslow said we long to be “that which we glimpse in our most perfect moments.” But, we are often afraid to act on the potential we see in such moments.
ReplyDeleteInstead of filling us with hope, such glimpses often trigger doubts and fear. In others success, we recognize our failed potential. We wonder, why can't we succeed?
You can, if you will try something new.
To succeed on your terms, create what matters most to you.
