I remember being in some grade reading some story about a guy on a horse yelling something about British people. At that time I had no idea or to be honest in learning anything about Paul Revere. I would find out later on in life that he wasn’t the only one ringing the alarm about the British.
The difference between him and the other guy was people listened when he talked. He was part of a million social clubs and organizations so he was in the words of Malcolm Gladwell a connector.
About five years ago I started posting my own motivational quotes/blogs online. I started reaching out to all of you guys every day. My face is probably on your timeline more than your own but I promise you there’s a method to my madness. You see I’m not trying to warn you about the British. I’m trying to warn you about a far more dangerous enemy, you!
You see mostly anything we want out of life we can get. Don’t believe me? Ok think of something you would love to be. It could be a famous actor, a CEO, a billionaire, a circus clown, lawyer, doctor, unicorn tamer, or anything else. Now ask yourself this question. Outside of the unicorn tamer profession, is there someone in some part of the world doing exactly what you want to do? The answer (insert drum roll) is YES!
The craziest thing about this is that same person doing what you’re dreaming of is human just like you. (If you’re not actually human please understand I’m not insensitive towards the alien race I’m just using this as an example) They put their pants on the same way you do, so what’s the difference? Why is your dream over when you wake up and theres keeps going? Well to be honest its you.
You don’t believe that it’s possible. You don’t realize that you’re good enough. Don’t worry its partly not your fault. We’ve been conditioned since we were little to think small and dream even smaller, but this is where I come in. I have to spread this message. I have to let you know the blueprint to everything you want is right in front of you. Im shouting it every day as long as I can. I don’t need you to listen, I need you to believe!
Great words! Always a good read from you, Cornell. 5 yeras ago I was a pro at standing in my own way. I’ve grown so much and pushed myself harder in the last 2 than I have in the last 20 years of my life. I find with every new day I push myself harder to get to where I want to be. I’m (now) a believer!
