Every one of us is a wealth of limitless potential.
Do you believe that to be true?
Somewhere between 50,000 and 2 million years ago (experts aren’t exact on this because the spoken work didn’t leave a paper trail), humans started to use language. Those beings on the front line couldn’t have imagined how language would evolve over the years. It’s potential was limitless. We use language to make music, to express our emotions through poetry and prose. To communicate with the people in the world around us. Then, there’s the comedy – from fun rhymes to puns to standard jokes. It’s beautiful and it’s an integral aspect of life as we know it.
Some 5,000 years ago, humans started a written language system. It’s not something that everyone could do or was doing, but it began. For some, the idea of learning how to write would have sounded ludicrous. That’s something for highly intelligent people, not for just anyone.
The Cycle of Success
That cycle has continued throughout the history of humanity. Someone unlocks something incredible and others don’t believe they have the potential to share in it. Yet, look at us now. The same thought process followed science, math, and even business. The truth is, everyone is capable. Right now, there are people out there living a normal life, completely unaware that they are a wealth of untapped potential. You could be a math genius; your child might be a music prodigy. All you need is the belief that it’s possible.
Belief. More importantly, self-belief. Highly successful people have it and when you do, you recognize that the possibilities in life are limitless. With just a bit of coaching, a push for more knowledge or better training, think of what you could do. Typically, successful people believe in brilliance, not just their own, but that of others as well. This belief empowers them to develop brilliance in others and tap into their own hidden potential. They have successfully dismissed the limiting belief that they are limited in their abilities. Instead, they believe and recognize that they can do great things. When you explore the limits, you will surely see that they do not exist.
The Genesis of Limiting Beliefs
It all begins during your childhood. You accept the words of others as fact. A teacher suggested you’d never amount to anything. Your friend is so full of confidence about their abilities that you believed them when they said they’re better than you. You struggled with math homework and your dad said you were terrible at math. None of those things were necessarily factual, yet you believed them. Worse, they’re ingrained in you and as an adult, you might not realize that you still hold them. They’re limiting you nonetheless.
You will only be able to move forward when you accept that you are capable of anything. Let go of the beliefs that are limiting you, and embrace your potential. Imagine what life would be like for you if you were born into a world where you had access to the greatest education, nutrition, and opportunities in history. You couldn’t fail, right? Well, neither can you fail now if you put yourself to the test. The person you would be in that world is still the person you are now, it’s inside you. While the environment is different, you’re not, your potential isn’t.
You are capable of developing your talents. You are capable and your potential is limitless. When you believe in yourself then possibilities are limitless. So, what will you use your power to achieve?
