Making A Difference

Acknowledging  limits is one thing…being restricted by those limits is another thing entirely.

Most people have a reasonable perception of how far they can push themselves in their personal and work lives. We know how much we are willing to give and we know how much we are willing to take. Many people are prepared to allow their lives to be lived within clearly defined parameters…more often than not parameters of their own construction. And that’s perfectly sane and reasonable.

But there’s a whole new world waiting beyond the limits…a world of possibilities…a world of promise and potential.

It’s important that we dare to dream…to imagine things outside our own experience.

A key to personal happiness and fulfilment is personal growth. The daily goal is to be an improved version of the person we were yesterday. Dynamic or sudden change is always a possibility. Incremental change is more realistic and sustainable.

It starts with an understanding and appreciation of who we are and where we are before we can move toward who we can be and where we can be.

And it’s dependent on an acceptance of what it is that we can change and what it is that we are unable to change.

We are not always responsible for the things that have happened, are happening and will happen to us but we are most definitely responsible for the things that happen through us.

What we do with what we have and who we are is important. One person can make a difference.

For that reason alone it’s important to regularly review self-imposed perceptions and restrictions, accept the possibility of change and recommit to work on it.

The life we are living is not a dress rehearsal. We are unique and today is a unique opportunity.
