What you may conceive, you can achieve



What exactly are you capable of achieving? What is a realistic expectation for your life and what constitutes sheer madness? Is there a limit to how high you should aim?


 The simple answer to these questions is simply that you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to; if you can think it, then it's a realistic expectation; and you can aim as high as you want.



We have probably all heard the old saying: "the sky is the limit." This would seem to have a lot of wisdom in it at first glance. However, it implies that man's potential has a limit when in actual fact, man's potential is limitless. Let's examine what exactly your potential as a human being is.


Firstly, let's define potential. Potential is all that you can be, but have not yet become. It is all you can accomplish, but have not yet accomplished. It is unexposed or dormant ability. This means that the ability to become and to do is already there. It just hasn't been brought out and utilized.


Consider a fertilized human egg (zygote). That single cell has the ability to form every part of the human body. Everything from your brain to your toenails can be formed by that single cell. It has unlimited potential.


Similarly, the human mind has unlimited potential. It has the limitless ability to create. We have been on earth for thousands of years, yet we are still making new discoveries today and creating new things everyday. We cannot exhaust the creative power of our minds.


The functioning of our minds remains, for the most part, a mystery even to modern day science. But even though we do not understand it's functioning, we cannot deny its power.  Now that you understand that your potential is limitless, your next challenge is to answer the question: what do you want out of life?


 If money, education, social status and so on, were no hindrance what would you want out of life? If all the knowledge and wealth in the world were at your disposal what would you want to be and to do?



Even with all the resources at your disposal, it is very likely that you would still struggle to come up with 3 goals that you are absolutely passionate about and to which you would dedicate every waking hour. Therein lies the problem – it is not your possibilities that are limited, it is your thinking! Your vision is limited only by you. The problem is that you don't know what you should be. It's not your fault, really: your education has messed you up. It has taken your boundless potential and shrunk it and shaped it into a narrow title. You are a "nurse", or "accountant" or "driver".
