WHAT ARE YOU CAPABLE OF?



“IF WE DID ALL THE THINGS WE ARE CAPABLE OF, WE WOULD LITERALLY ASTOUND OURSELVES.”
-THOMAS EDISON-



Why are we afraid to take risks? Why don’t we give ourselves enough credit? Why don’t we do the things we are capable of? Did you know that it is said that the difference between being good and being great is just that little extra effort. Look at the masses. You will see a common thread of mediocrity and complacency. Would you say I was crazy if I told you that there was less competition where the truly successful play? That the masses have the fiercest competition for mediocre positions or careers? Ponder this for a moment….interesting, huh? People don’t want to take risks. We are scared to be great and do everything we are capable of. Anais Nin said, “life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” Now is the time to be courageous. The time to act is always NOW. Let’s live a life of influence! Let’s transform our thinking. Let’s be revolutionary in thought and deed. We can and will astound ourselves. You. Me. We can take the extra step everyday. We can smile at someone. We can open a door. We can choose not to speak when it may be offensive or cutting or slashing towards someone else. We can pick up the phone. We can volunteer. We can edify with our words. We can read another chapter. And we can run an extra mile. Some may only be able to walk. Others, crawl….But WE CAN! We will…..
