A Promise Made To You Can Close Doors Of Endless Possibilities
I
actually heard the title of this article this morning when I was meditating and
praying. The idea behind it is that there are endless possibilities all around
us. There are thousands of ways to do one thing. Success also means taking the
right actions toward possibilities. The question is: “Can you see these
possibilities?”
Mental
poverty which is also considered as a lack of ideas is the source of all other
lacks and limitations. Those we call genius are simply connected to a greater
realm of inspiration within them by simply admitting to themselves that there
are many ways instead of one, which allows them to see thousands of
possibilities to do one thing. They easily find solutions to problems and they discover
answers to solve issues.
This
is not to say that most people don’t have this ability. We all are potential
genius that awake progressively. We all surely do have the potential to see
many possibilities, but it’s an untapped potential. The brain cannot see more
than what you have trained and conditioned it to see through habitual thinking.
For example, let’s say you needed money to pay your car loan. You had no idea
how you will be able to meet the deadline.
Suddenly,
a friend of yours called and made you a promise of five hundred dollars. The danger
is you may find yourself seeing that promise as the only possibility and wake
up day and night thinking about it and checking your bank account to see if the
money had been transferred. This is what being poor really means. It’s the way
you train your brain to only see one door out of a situation instead of many.
The
wealthy mind will hear the same promise and will not cling to it; and will still
be digging to see more possibilities and pay the car loan instead of relying on
the promise. There are endless possibilities all around you. Can you see them? The
same example I just gave with the promise of five hundred dollars can also happen
with business contracts promised, job promised, an engagement ring promised, a
house promised and you name it.
Most
people have even forgotten that there are also thousands of ways to be happy. They
settle their happiness on this one thing; and when that one thing is missing,
they can’t be happy. Some other people limit themselves as to what they can do.
They even say, “I am not built to do this,” or “I am not wired to do this.”
This is not true. What you say limits your mind and what limits your mind
limits your brain.
The
truth is everything can be learned. The limitation you set on yourself will
never allow your brain to open up to more possibilities. Many opportunities
will show up in your environment, but your brain will fail to see them and
suggest them to you as ways to get out of your situation. Why will it fail? It’s
because you have conditioned the brain to perceive only in a certain way.
