Everyone
knows Oprah Winfrey! Her story of triumph coming from a socially lower
community to being the most admired celebrities is what aspirational stories
are made of! From dust to throne, one thing that stood apart through her years
of pursuing her dreams was her self- belief.
“It
doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins
with you. Always.”-Oprah Winfrey
What
are the things that instill self belief? It is indeed easy to believe in our
limitations, but do they really exist? People often talk of things they would
love to have or rather they would have acquired or could have achieved, but
could not on the account of reasons that swing widely between physical,
economical, technical, financial or any such obstacles that come in the way.
But
these hurdles are more mental barriers that prove to be harmful for the growth
of oneself and obscure vision from reality. Mind is the greatest force that
enables us to achieve our dreams and realize our potential to the fullest. Why
is that we don’t need to remember to do the simplest of tasks like brushing and
flossing our mouth after eating? More so because our subconscious mind has
already made a blue print of activities requiring attention to detail and thus
we don’t explore the reason to do otherwise.
While
training wild elephants, the young rash ones are bound by shackles and made to
do lift heavy logs. Such that their mental facilities are so set that even when
they mature and grow old and the shackles no longer bind them they rarely break
rules as years of habit have programmed their barriers to be more mental than
physical.
Mental
boundaries are also a great danger to one’s untapped potential. It sounds
impossible that someone fired for lacking creativity went on to found one of
the most creative and magical places on earth, yet Walt Disney persisted. Once ousted
from his own company, getting up and proving himself all over again such that
original company had to call him back which he lead to unprecedented heights,
yes! all because Steve Jobs persisted. Just because a dream is seemingly
improbable, doesn’t mean that you lack the potential to bring it into
manifestation. Improbable is not impossible.
