Monday Morning Mike....My friends get out of your own way...You know it seems to be we live in some of the best times with all the modern conveniences, easy travel and technology galore, but why is it that we still limit our lives to the rational, ordinary and mundane?...I mean why would you have all these opportunities for your greater self and life if you do not utilize them...see my friends unfortunately many of us forgot who we aspired to be as kids and we got locked in the grown up world with others who are trapped inside themselves ... Ask yourself who told you that you had to "settle" for anything in your life?...but we do and then set limits on our happiness ... I'm here to tell you "the way you think and believe about who you are is in itself your limitation, not the worlds"... the same self imposed limitations you placed on youself to doubt and not act on your greatest life wants and potential big ideas ... You know, maybe it was that great million dollar idea we all have at one time that was not acted upon, or maybe it was not traveling to see the world because we can do it later in life and or we squash that passion in us because we were to lazy to even look on Orbitz for a discounted rate...or maybe its that early heart attack badge of honor excuse that we're always to busy to take time off to have great new experiences that we'd enjoy, and yet we wonder why time and life is flying by ... or maybe it's even the great feel good nonaction excuse ," I would like to change the world for the better but I don't know what to do or it's to big of a problem" without giving a dollar to even a homeless person or volunteering for something your not getting paid for...we all do it my friends but we all have greatness to do better...but some how, some where our true greatness got diminished with the rational thinking of others and maybe the negative influences of our lives that caused us pain so we stop believing and trying and then started settling and seeing our dreams and unlimited happiness beyond our reach... This eventually falls into learned helplessness with the "this is just the way it is " mentality ...but my friends don't give up, I am here to remind you of your greatness and that you are just as remarkably human as Bill Gates , Mother Teresa or Elon Musk and all the greatest influencers of our world ...go back to your dreams of how life would be and could be when you were a child, figure out what you need to change about yourself to get who you are today out of the way....The potential you felt for your life then is still available and here every new day and every new morning...you just must get out of your own way with your learned hindrances... you can still see the world like a jetsetter, you can still develop a million dollar company like a Shark Tank judge, you can still help those less fortunate than you like a philanthropist, you can still fly thru the air like Michael Jordan!... ok , maybe not...lol.... but who said you can't join a basketball league at the YMCA and have fun for the sake of playing at least one day a week cause isn't that what Jordan did, had fun playing... so get out of your own way...stop doubting yourself, stop settling for less than you would like to be, stop living a life less than you know you are capable of deep inside ...get back to the limitless person you are and always were meant to be.... it's not to late, today is a new day, so get out of your own way...make it a great week Steemers...
