Astonish Yourself, Often!

"If we all did all of the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astonish ourselves."~Thomas Edison

Are you living up to your full potential? Most of us are not. When was the last time you sat down and did a personal assessment? Why?

What is working well in your life? What is not quite right yet? Where do you let yourself down? Where do you fail to live up to your own dreams, goals and ambitions? We expect everybody else to live up to their potential, why shouldn't we?

Buried within our minds is the great unknown...That we are capable of things beyond our wildest dreams, if we only reach out and take a chance of making them happen! Do you realize that you can have everything you want, when you want it? It's a matter of choice, not chance.

  1. Dave, this is an excellent post. Most of us have great ideas, but we often undermine our own ability to achieve those ideas through negative self-talk. Over time, it is easy to talk ourselves out of doing something by thinking "Oh, that will never work." or "I could never do that." We need to take action on our thoughts and write down our ideas. Then map out a list of things that will have to take place to achieve that idea. It's the little steps that we do today that will bring us to the big goal later on.
