Is that a FACT? Wednesday

For me this is so on mark today:

Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs.

~Maxwell Maltz

When the Wright Brothers set out to build a flying contraption, many respected people thought the idea foolish.  Everybody knew that a machine heavier than air could not fly.  When Marconi tried to transmit a radio signal across the Atlantic, the experts ridiculed the idea of sending radio waves around the curved surface of the earth.  When Galileo proposed that the earth rotated around the sun, and not vice versa, he was shamefully disbelieved.  Yet each of these people changed the world by overcoming traditional thinking, and found ways to prove possible what was once thought not. 

Neither the Wright Brothers, nor Marconi, nor Galileo, accepted the world for what it seemed; they strove to see past the illusion of the obvious. 

Before it was discovered that the earth was round, it was considered fact that the world was indeed flat.  This instance alone, exemplifies that what we consider a truism today could be categorically disproved tomorrow.

Could this be true for you?  Something you consider fact might not be a fact at all.

It is so amazing that we can't always see our own beliefs, the ones holding us back; limiting us.  Things we chose to believe long ago, the rules WE made up that put limits on our lives.  The rules that keep us from our potential, the constraints that keep us playing smaller in life than we really are.  The ones it seems we keep bumping into.  

Where are you feeling held back?   What limits you are imposing on yourself?    There isn't anything wrong with this, there is nothing wrong with you!  We are all like this.   Keep in mind I'm not saying that you must keep your limits - you just may need some help is seeing them and getting past them.

 

Some other day we'll talk about the box we live inside of.
