Something I like to do every morning before I begin to write is watch an inspirational movie. One of my favourites is Finding Joy. I've put a link to the site at the bottom if you want to watch it.
Every day we are given the opportunity to awaken to new ideas, new thinking. Benjamin Disraeli, British Statesman and Prime Minister in the 1800s said, "Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think."
Once upon a time, man did not believe he could fly. Today, we fly around the world, and up into the stars.
Once upon a time, man did not believe he could explore the bottom of the ocean. Today, we submerge into the depths and journey through the seas.
There are so many things in this world we never believed possible. I remember in the 70s when I first began working that it was inconceivable that anyone would want a computer on their desktop. Today, the ubiquitous laptop and home computer have taken over hundreds of millions of desktops around the world.
Alexander Graham Bell didn't listen when someone told him he couldn't get his voice to carry through a thin wire. Today, telephony is a technology we rely on to connect us with family and friends around the globe.
The world is filled with proof that what we imagine we can create into reality. And yet, we doubt.
We doubt the power of our thoughts to change our lives. We doubt we have the capacity to quit drinking. Lose weight. Climb mountains. Heal broken hearts.
If we can conceive it, we can create it.
But first, like inventors throughout the ages, we must think it into reality. We must change our thinking that says, 'it can't be' into the thought that knows, 'It will be'. And then, we must take action. We must keep our highest thoughts at the forefront of our minds as we take steps to create reality from our highest thinking.
The question is: Do you want to be like an eagle in the chicken coup refusing to fly because he doesn't believe he has wings to support him? Or, do you want to believe in your possibilities, spread your wings and soar into your dreams come true?
The movie Finding Joy can be watched here.
