If you are using the excuse “I don’t know how” to stop you from doing something, STOP IT. Not knowing how to do something is not a reason to not do it; it is an excuse. And I know you do not want excuses to get in the way of your dreams!
Perhaps you can relate to this: you have a moment of inspiration. You get an idea, consider a lifelong dream or have an “aha” moment. Your eyes light up and you begin to feel those butterflies of excitement. All of a sudden you are FULL of possibility. And then, like a record scratch, your analytical mind comes in and begins to try to figure out the how. You begin to contract energetically because that pesky “I don’t know” excuse starts to suck away all your inspiration.
Today I invite you to declare that you will no longer allow your current capabilities to dictate your possibilities! So what if you don’t know how to do something? There was a time when you did not know how to chew, control your bladder, walk, read or use a computer. You’ve learned all those things, didn’t you?
What is so awesome about your capabilities, which include both your awareness and your skill set, is that you can continue to grow them. So if you are allowing what you are capable of today to determine what you could create in the future, can you see how short-sighted that is? It’s like trying to send an email with a typewriter. It’s just not effective.
Know that you are most likely only using 10-20% of your human potential and there is so much more you are capable of. But in order to really ignite the inspiration that fuels stretching your capabilities, you have to shift into the energy of possibility.
Dream. Visualize. Fantasize. Vision.
The most amazing creators see possibility. Genius and innovation come from a place of thinking about what’s possible NEXT versus what is possible now. Thomas Edison tried over 10,000 times before he was able to make a light bulb work because he continued to focus on what could be possible rather than what he was currently capable of.
To me, genius is not necessarily being the best at something. It is about how much passion and enthusiasm we bring to what we do. Genius requires childlike curiosity and a willingness to have a beginner’s mind. And the only way to access your own genius is to stop living in the comfort zone of your current capabilities. Dwelling in the world of possibility requires stepping outside the familiarity of what you already know.
You are reading this and part of a community of people who are committed to being LOVE because Mastin thought about what was possible. What could be possible for you? What could you create?
Stop looking through the limited lens of your current capabilities. Allow your mind to swim in the beautiful and vast sea of possibility. Stop drowning your dreams by only paying attention to what you have done or can do right now. Trust the energetic power of focusing on possibility and soon you will see that the right teachers, tools and circumstances you need to be capable of co-creating it will show up.
Relax and celebrate this amazing possibility: you are more powerful and capable than you think. Whatever your “it” is, know that you CAN do it, you CAN have it and you CAN be it. IT IS ALL POSSIBLE – you just have to open your mind and heart to it.
“We all have possibilities we don’t know about. We can do things we don’t even dream we can do.” – Dale Carnegie
“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” – Jamie Paolinetti
