‘We are all something but none of us are everything’
Being a strong advocate of positive thinking and Mind control , this quote did not go down quite well with me. Because I always thought we can do whatever we want to do and acheive whatever we dare to dream. But Life’s circumstances have thought me that sometimes we do get restricted by some limitations. Some are created in our mind . Those we can change and remove but what about happenings beyond our control, ones that we have absolutely no control on. Those circumstances sometimes controls us.
Limitations we set for ourselves I feel a lot of times restricts our growth. Sometimes it is a fear of taking risks, sometimes its the inhibitions one has and a lot of times its the fear of failure.Wha t if I fall? Will I be able to manage to pick myself and walk on if I fall?Helen Keller: said “ When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” I find truth in this fact that our mind blinds us a lot of times to see things other than what it wants us to see.
Often we dont even dream because our limitations put the fear of God in us. The book The Secret talks about chanellising all thoughts positively into making a difference in our lives. I feel the fear of failure, of rejection, of not being good enough all create so many limitations within us that we give up before attempting anything, fearing how the result may turn out. But unless we take the initiative how would we know what the result would be like ?
So we have to understand that Limitations mostly stem from insecurities in the mind, inhibitions, fear and lack of confidence. Once we break free of them there is nothing to stop us from soaring sky high and reaching where our wildest dreams take us.
