Accept No Limits (Vic Johnson)

Hello again Life-Long Learners,

I have had the good fortune of uncovering a very inspiring resource and I have the honour and privilege here to share it with you in the hope you will find it helpful as you strive for the greatness you are capable of achieving...

Accept no Limits

"A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses." -- As a Man Thinketh

You are not limited to the life you now live. It has been accepted by you as the best you can do at this moment. Any time you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life, you're capable of doing that by choosing different thoughts.

We each earn the income we do today because that is the amount we have limited ourselves to earn. We could easily earn 5, 10, 20 times or more if we did not limit ourselves through the thoughts we maintain.

Don't believe that's true? Surely you know people who earn much more than you who don't have your education, your skills, or your intelligence. So why do they earn more than you?

I love the story of George Dantzig that Cynthia Kersey wrote about in Unstoppable. As a college student, George studied very hard and always late into the night. So late that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two math problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignmnet. It took him several days to work through the two problmes, but finally he had a breakthrough and dropped the homework on the professor's desk the next day.

Later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer. But George Dantzig, working without any thought of limitaion, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumped mathmaticians for thousands of years.

Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.

Bob Proctor tells us to "keep reminding yourself that you have tremendous reservoirs of potential within you, and therefore you are quite capable of doing anything you set your mind to. All you must do is figure out how you can do it, not whether or not you can. And once you have made your mind up to do it, it's amazing how your mind begins to figure out how."

And that's worth thinking about.

I feel strongly that reading the texts compiled by Vic Johnson in his book, Meditations for the Month Day by Day with James Allen, has been an effective element in my journey to overcome a significant challenge and to ultimately take a leap into entrepreneurship to pursue my passion instead of worrying about contributing to my pension. When you remove limitation and open your mind to the possibilities of your own great potential, you set yourself in motion in the direction of the destination of your specific goal. Ideas will flow into your conscience to answer the hows that would otherwise be obstacles on your course from where you are to where you want to be.

Through the power of your own thoughts when you believe that you can, you make yourself as unstoppable as anyone else who has found their way to greatness. It's just plain simple and true. Once you know where you're going and figure out how you're going to get there, what is there to stop you? Again, I hope you will find Vic Johnson's thoughts which I will be printing periodically over the next few weeks, to be as helpful to you as I have found them to be.

Let's begin...

Ardently,

Kathleen
