February musings...

For the month of February I am thinking about what I am thinking about! Taking time to examine the thoughts I hold of myself and what I believe about myself.

Each one of us has been given a unique design and set of talents, no matter how big or small you view them to be, they are your gift to the world. Your key to leaving a meaningful imprint here on earth. However, if you do not have the vision to bring forth and manifest the talent inside of you it will never exist anywhere apart from your design. You have to make it real, you have to bring it forth into this world, you have to manifest it into existence.

Now the catch is if you are not believing it to be true, how can you expect it to ever come true. Your success in life is fully dependent on who you believe yourself to be.

What vision of yourself are you believing to be true?

At times we allow our minds to be infiltrated with external thoughts, ones that are not to our benefit. The smallest of cracks or openings can open the door to doubt, and we let people limit us or rain on our parade. Truth is; although we may face limitations or things that may try and prevent us from doing or achieving certain things - the key is to know how to distinguish imposed limitations from your actual capability. Your capabilities are shaped by yourself so you and you alone are the driving force in terms of your capability.

For example someone may tell you that you will never make it in your chosen career based on their own perception of you. This is their imposed limitation on you. You can choose to believe in their perception and be discouraged or you can choose to believe that you have the capability to prepare and push yourself into that career. If you do not have that vision to see yourself in said career and do not use that vision to plan, prepare and push and yourself for your envisioned placing then it will be very unlikely that it will become your reality.

To put it simply if you don’t believe you can then the chances are you won’t. If you want to achieve success you envision it. Envision your life as what you want it to be, think of yourself doing exactly what you want to do, no holds barred, no limits imposed. Do not shrink your thoughts. Live your best life in your thoughts and give it the space to become your reality.
