Undefined January 26, 2007 Who do you say that you are? Most people have a routine that they follow daily, both familiar and convenient, it allows them to live a safe life full of what is common to them. A routine allows its follower to continue to circle the mountain that he or she has already climbed. It is a re-achievement of your own past. A routine results in no progress, but they are so common because they allow people to live with apparent security. Doing things that you have done before allows you to feel safe, confident in your abilities, because you know it is possible for you. So many people believe that the past creates the present and future. They believe that things you have failed at will continue to be difficult, and mistakes you have made will continue to hinder your future progress. That is absolute nonsense. The greatest successes of our time believed they could accomplish their goals even though they didn't know how. Then, they went on to do exactly what they knew deep down they could. Anything you want to accomplish is possible if you believe in yourself and can get yourself onto the road to success. New things are not hard but only unfamiliar, causing you to step out of your comfort zone to achieve them. When someone steps out of their comfort zone they feel fear, because they are unsure of what lies ahead. They worry about the possible outcomes to the situation and are frozen, unable to act. All this uncertainty is a heavy load to carry around everywhere you go. People feel a need to know everything for certain but can never achieve this because of the volatile world we live in. That worry serves us no good. Let it go and find out who you really are. Eliminating worry is a major step in leaving the past behind. A person with no worries doesn't care what others may or may not think about him or her. Once you stop defining who you are you can become everything that you hope to be. Stop defining yourself. To find out who you desire to be you must take some quiet time, away from all distractions, to search deep within yourself. You can and should become a great person, someone that enjoys every moment of their life and lives it to the absolute fullest. Find something that you want to achieve, leave who you are behind, deny anyone the right to impose his or her opinions on you, and go out into the world without fear. Step past your comfort zone and become truly yourself, a person capable of everything, undefined by the past. Joshua Schwarz |
