The Only Limitation Placed on Your Abilities
“The only limitation placed on our abilities - is our inability to easily recognize our unlimited nature.
It takes effort to become aware of our staggering and limitless abilities.
It takes effort to become enthusiastic over a cause, or an occupation.
It takes effort to continue when our results - as well as our friends - tell us to give up trying.
It takes effort to feel right about everything that happens - the joy as well as the sorrows of life.
And it takes effort to learn to love ourselves above all others, especially when we are so consciously aware of our failures, doubts and tragedies.
It does not, however, take effort to fail.
It requires little else than a slowly deteriorating attitude about our present, our future and about ourselves.
It is ironic that one of the few things in this live over which we have total control is our own attitudes, and yet most of us live our entire life behaving as though we had no control whatsoever.
By our attitude, we decide to read, or not to read.
By our attitude, we decide to try or give up.
By our attitude, we blame ourselves for our failure, or we foolishly blame others.
Our attitude determines whether we love or hate. tell the true or lie, act or procrastinate, advance or recede, and by our own attitude we and we alone actually decide whether to succeed or fail”
