There are numerous possibilities available, for you to become the best possible version of your unique self. Accept that there is only one version of you on this planet; no one else has your unique mind, life experience, character, attitude and exactly the same philosophy as you. This realisation sets you apart from the average and allows you to see that you can become the best, in your own unique way. I want you to look at yourself and see your unique strengths, abilities, experience and unlimited potential, as tools to begin and sustain your journey, toward the future that you desire.
Begin to believe in all the possibilities that are available to you and stop limiting yourself any longer, by remaining trapped in your self-imposed comfort zone. Start to gradually stretch yourself and begin to perform in your own unique and special way, using your strengths, abilities and experience to gradually unlock your unlimited potential. Awaken your belief in yourself and start to search and discover all the opportunities that are all around you right now. This shift away from doubt and constant negative self-talk, toward belief and positive affirmation, opens your mind to possibility and will reveal numerous opportunities that have been right there all along, but have been invisible because of your lack of belief and restrictive attitude.
Learn to see all you are capable of achieving and stop limiting yourself because of your lack of belief in your abilities. We are capable of achieving outcomes that far exceed even our own wildest dreams, but we restrict ourselves to a very limited ring of possibility, because we impose restrictions due to lack of belief. I want to tell you a few stories about super human performance, where circumstances and the need to save the life of a loved one, propelled people to perform at levels, they did not think were possible.
Marie Peyton from Texas was walking behind a self-drive lawn mower, when the accelerator got stuck and the mower pulled out of her hands. The mower was out of control and was heading across the lawn, right toward Marie’s granddaughter, Elsie. The mower blades were still running and it was about to run over Elsie, tearing her to shreds. In a feat of super human performance, Marie covered about 3 m, grabbed hold of the mower that weighed about 150 kg and tossed it out of the way, like it was a light piece of plastic. This superhuman performance, by a grandmother that struggled to empty the dustbin every day, which weighed only 12 kg, was well beyond the realm of what Marie thought was possible for her and highlights the unlimited potential that rests within all of us, to perform at levels far greater than even we believe is possible.
Angela Carvalho, was standing in her kitchen, when she heard a loud scream coming from outside. She ran outside and saw her son trapped under a 1964 Chevrolet, Impala. The jack had failed and the car had fallen on top of his chest. She immediately grabbed hold of the car and lifted the weight off his chest. She held the car off her son for five minutes, until the neighbours arrived and managed to reset the jack and lift the car of Angela’s son. It is estimated that Angela lifted about 545 Kg (1200 Pounds) off her son and held it off his chest, for about five minutes. The current Olympic record for women for the deadlift is 228 kg (502.6 pounds). Angela held almost three times that weight off her son for almost five minutes.
I have shared these two stories with you to try to highlight that you have unlimited potential and incredible unique strengths and abilities. Have the courage to start to explore the limits of your potential and become the best possible version of yourself. I know that you are working well below the level of performance you are capable of achieving. Begin believing and I know that you will begin achieving, at levels that will astound you and everyone around you.
