Jacques Cousteau wrote, "If we were logical, the future would
be bleak indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human
beings, and we have faith and we have hope, and we can work."
Sense of self - the innate knowledge that you are unique in
your vision and ability - is what gives you power as a human
being. You know that, with action, you can create change.
Your current life reflects the choices you have made in the
past. You have the ability to change your direction and forge
a new path in your life. You may already possess the
knowledge to create this new vision of yourself…or you may
wonder where your strength lies. The internet possesses a
wealth of information, and it is at your fingertips. You can
become an expert in any field that attracts and holds your
attention. Focus on this attraction. As you focus, your
confidence will build.
Forget the criticism of others. Become impervious to it.
Initially, they will say, “You don’t even KNOW anything about
that subject.” By setting your own course of action, you will
gain the knowledge you need. If you focus every day, write
every day about your topic, build your ideas every day, you
will have 365 blocks of information after only one year of
focus. As time passes, the basics you learned that first year
will become the building blocks that will enable you to
achieve exponential growth in the future. Suddenly, you will
find yourself in a situation that will make it all come
together.
"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man
contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral,"
wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupery. The rock pile is nature in
its raw state. You can either choose to view it as a thing of
beauty or as a group of objects that can be used to create a
new world.
"Break all the glasses and fall toward the glassblower," wrote
Jalal-e-Din Mevlavi Rumi. In the 11th century a.d., Rumi
wrote seven books and volumes of poems about life. The fact
that a human being from another culture and another time can
hold such relevancy to our own world gives fuel to the belief
that we, as part of the human world, hold the keys to molding
our lives into whatever we choose.
Make it happen.
