Conundrum: limited possibilities?

Conundrum
One conundrum that I often face is helping others to see that it is possible to achieve their goals. Once individuals see that achieving their goals is possible, their imaginary lid of “limited possibilities” comes off. Tasks become easier to complete and are completed in a timely fashion. It is amazing how much more effective we are once we have faith in our abilities. We no longer make excuses for what we did not accomplish and set achievable, realistic, and timely goals. We find creative means to balance family life, personal time, school, and work.
Until we make something a priority in our life, it will not be a priority.

From individuals who consistently shoot down your dreams and call you “crazy.” Just because they do not believe in the possibilities does not mean that you should too. It may be time to look for better company.
From those who belittle you so that they appear bigger than what they are. Soon, they will find out that their height is an illusion. If they can’t see and appreciate your true beauty and your uniqueness, then you may want to look for better company.
From individuals who abuse you…emotionally, mentally, physically, and in any other way. If they can’t see the power of your name, that you deserve life and respect you, because you are here, then you may want to look for better company.
From living an ordinary life and trying to fit in the crowd. You were made to be different. Even identical twins are different. If others want you to smile, talk, wear the same clothes, eat like them, breathe like them, agree with everything that they say, then you may want to look for better company.
You always have a choice. Thinking that you do not have a choice is a choice. If you think you do not have a choice, then you have chosen to limit your thoughts.
Heal within and be true to you!

Missing? No. Just unrealized potential

My biggest fear is that at 80 years of age, when I look back on my life, I will regret that I did not follow my passion and this nagging desire in my heart to live my best life. I have seen so many talented individuals (i.e. able to draw anything and everything with so much precision and detail), and wonder why they were not furthering their education and developing their talent.
It is the realization that one can die (and many have) without fully expressing and sharing his or her God-given talents, skills, abilities, and experiences.
No matter what you have been told or the negative thoughts you have allowed to consume you, you can live your dreams. We need to stop asking why I do not have this or that (thin body, high IQ, ability to type, celebrity friends, and others) to make my dreams come true. We need to, in other words, stop making excuses and start living. Baby steps can lead to more confidence and bigger steps to reach your goals.
I have found that once I decide to do something, doors start opening. Solutions to perceived problems come. Opportunities are available. We must believe that we can do whatever it is that has been put on our heart to do…that thing that you keep going back to…that you keep thinking about. You are thinking about it for a reason (getting chills as I write this).
We must be decisive.
We are all here for a reason.
What have you got to lose? Life is for the living and not to stand in the corner or side lines and watch everyone else live his or her life.
This quote is a friendly reminder for me and is on my vision board.
“I can tell you that what you’re looking for is already inside you.” Anne Lamott
I ask again …..What have we got to lose?
Look at you.
