You are greater than you can possibly imagine, if you would only free yourself up to imagine.

Unless dreams are carried from the whimsy of imagination to demands of reality, they will die in the catacombs of ‘what could be.

I don’t wish for a perfect life, for in doing so I will have discarded the tremendous opportunities for great good that lay hidden in the greatest bad.

A label locks me into a definition that people use to control me. A vision graces me with an idea that serves to release me.

It’s not enough to watch the great people in our lives and wish ourselves to be like them. Rather, it’s realizing that we need to wish ourselves to be the best version of us. For then, we will be like the people we’ve been watching.

Apathy is convincing ourselves that we can’t change things. Oddly enough, faith is convincing ourselves of the same thing. However, the defining difference is that apathy places the onus of change on us, while faith places the onus of change on God working through us.

If you dare to dig deep enough, you will find a side of yourself that will dramatically enhance all the sides of yourself.

If we were to tally all of the potential that was never unleashed throughout the history of mankind, and if that tally was somehow held up in front of us, I would hope against all hope that it would horrify us to a point of such despair that we would be driven to insure that such a tragedy would never be given any shred of space anywhere in our own lives nor in the lives of any life that we might touch for the rest of our lives.

Accepting the fact that I don’t even remotely understand all that I can be might prove an insurmountable barrier to some. Yet, if I can accept that fact, the far greater barrier constructed of my suffocatingly limited understanding of myself would be removed. And without a doubt, the former might be difficult to deal with but the latter is certain to kill me.
