The most successful people have reached the top not because they are free of limitations, but because each day, each moment, they act in spite of their limitations. We are blessed with virtually unlimited possibilities, and we must pursue those possibilities within the very real confines of our own limitations. Every person who has ever lived has struggled against their own set of limitations.
What are your limitations? Do you see them as an excuse for defeat, as a reason to give up? The limitations you face are not there to stop you, but rather to challenge and ultimately to support you. Limitations provide a frame of reference, something to push against, a way to grow.
Everything you have ever accomplished, has been done in spite of your limitations. You've proven, over and over again, that you can overcome your own unique challenges. Refuse to let your limitations stand in the way of your possibilities.
"Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do."

The Seed
We are full of energy and in need of direction. When that energy is guided toward creative achievement, the results can be spectacular. Plant the seed of encouragement in the fertile ground of a person's life, and it will grow into magnificent accomplishments.
Anyone has the capacity to do great things, yet far too few know it or believe it. No matter how fertile the ground may be, if no seed is planted, nothing will grow. How many lives have been wasted in misery and destruction because they never received even the smallest seed of positive encouragement?
A seed is tiny. Yet when it is planted in the right place and at the right time, and nurtured with care, that tiny seed can grow into a ceaselessly abundant harvest.
Think of the lives around you where the seed of encouragement can take root and grow. Think of the difference you can make when you encourage yourself and when you offer your encouragement to others. Think of the seeds that you have the opportunity to plant. Spread the seeds of encouragement far and wide, and delight in the bountiful harvest that they will surely bring.
" Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating our next moment. That is what's real."

Stronger and Stronger
The more you do something, the stronger you become at it. The more you work out with weights, the stronger your muscles become. The more you complain, the better you become at complaining. The more you learn, the better you become at learning. The more you make excuses, the better you become at making excuses. The more you achieve, the better achiever you become.
What are your strengths? What do you want them to be? Negative habits can be very strong, because they've been practiced for so long. Any new positive action will be weak by comparison at first. Keep it up and it grows stronger. Decide what you want to be strong at, and do it, again and again.
It is impossible to become a champion body builder in a single workout. Strength takes time and repetition to develop. Start today to build the strengths that will serve you best.
