“A person is limited only by the thoughts
that he chooses”
(James Allen, As A Man Thinketh)
(James Allen, As A Man Thinketh)
You are not limited to the
life you now live. It has been accepted by you as the best you can do at this
moment. Any time you’re ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your
life, you’re capable of doing that by choosing different thoughts. Don’t limit
yourself.
Cynthia Kersey author of Unstoppable writes about this amazing
story of George Dantzig. As a college student, George studied very hard and
always late into the night. So late that he overslept one morning, arriving 20
minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two math problems on the board,
assuming they were the homework assignment. It took him several days to work
through the two problems, but finally he had a breakthrough and dropped the
homework on the professor's desk the next day.
Later, on a Sunday
morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George
was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor announce that the two
unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind teasers that even Albert
Einstein hadn't been able to answer. But
George Dantzig, working without any thoughts of limitation, had solved not one,
but two problems that had stumped mathematicians for thousands of years. Simply
put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.
Bob Proctor tells us to “keep reminding yourself that you have
tremendous reservoirs of potential within you, and therefore you are quite
capable of doing anything you set your mind to. All you must do is figure out
how you can do it, not whether or not you can. And once you have made your mind
up to do it, it’s amazing how your mind begins to figure out how.”
Think about it!
