My
son asked me recently if I thought it was possible for him to fly. I said,
“Well, people fly every day in airplanes. What type of flying are you talking
about?” He said “I just want to take off and fly just as I am. You always say that anything is possible, if
I believe, right?" “Yes, however, you must understand the principles of
flying.” He replied, "Why do I have
to understand anything? I thought I could just believe I can.”
I
said "There are rules and laws you must following if you want to be safe;
there are things you must understand first.”
He said "Awww, why can't I just jump and fly if anything is
possible? I knew you were going to say that." My son has a lot to learn
about his part in the creative process. We all do. Anything is possible if you believe.
However, your belief has to be unwavering and you must take action by doing the
work that will enable you to see your desired result.
I
read a story recently about a woman who was named the first African American
woman to hold a patent for a natural hair care product. What I found
fascinating about the story was how she acquired her patent. When she realized
that she couldn’t afford to hire a patent attorney, she didn’t let that stop
her from her goal. She ended up going to the library and the patent and
trademark office and taught herself patent law. In a little over a year, she
received her patent! How wonderful!
She
believed that she would get her patent and did the necessary work to make it
so. Have you ever been in a situation
where you simply thought you couldn't do something you wanted to do? I'm sure we all have. When you find yourself
in that situation, you have two choices to make; Do nothing or Do the work necessary
to achieve your goal. Don't let anything
stop you from your goals! Anything is possible if you believe.
How
many times have you or someone you know let not having enough money, time or
whatever stop you or them from moving forward with their goals? Please realize
that whatever you want to accomplish, it can be done. All it takes is deciding
how much you want it and if you are willing to do the work.
Remember,
you have the potential inside for great success! Live Your Potential!
