Just as creativity is borne by originality, negativity also breeds impossibility. A lot of people agree to the fact that they are the lights of the world and they have on the inside of them what it takes to move mountains but when they stand before the mountain the recoil, and then they make statements like ‘I can’t. I’m just an ordinary person’, ‘Me, of all people’, ‘Who am I to…’ ‘I’m the smallest in my family’; ‘I don’t have what it takes’ and so on. Of what use is a light that is not switched on.
My favourite comedian, Bill Cosby, once said, ‘people fail in direct proportion to their willingness to accept socially acceptable excuses of failure’. Excuses are only meant to limit your potentials and when you rely on them more often, they will not only incapacitate you but also blur your sight and intoxicate your mind which sub-consciously affects the decisions you make.
Mike Murdurk say ‘Champions make decisions that create the present day desire’, It is quite unfortunate that most people prefer to live a much more simple lifestyle. They merely go the way life take them by doing their normal regular activities only; they go to school or work, sleep, eat, pray, chat with friends – not necessarily in that order, on weekends, they go to church, and then, prepare for the week ahead. They don’t spend quality time with themselves. It is one thing to spend more time with God; it is another to spend time with yourself. Spending time with yourself helps you to think deeply and search out the hidden treasures that God has deposited in you, that is the sole reason it is students assimilate better when reading in quiet place where they can be by themselves.
So, like John Mason, I implore you to dare to think unthinkable thoughts. Develop an infinite capacity to ignore what others think can’t be done. Life is too short to think small.
