Have You Ever Lead A Horse To Water?

We have all heard the saying that, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink." It means that you can share with someone, information, technique, or even a belief, but you can't force them to apply that knowledge. We all have been bombarded with information all of our lives. It begins the moment that we are born and doesn't end until our passing. We are living in what they are calling "The Information Age." We have access to more information than ever before on this planet. If you want to know something, it is pretty much at your fingertips. 

With all of this access, it is easy to get overwhelmed. Who and or what do we believe. What photos have been edited, what articles are biased, what is our government hiding? It is easy to get lost in all of this. It's easy to lose our focus and get steered in the wrong direction from where we started. Trust your heart and intuition. I would encourage everyone to never stop learning. For me personally, much of my enlightenment has come from reading. Knowledge is the light that illuminates our soul. When our soul is illuminated, our dreams and passion begin to burn. When that happens, we begin to see our life in a whole new way. What we once saw as impossible, we now see as possible. 

Now comes the hard part, making the horse drink. You have equipped yourself with this knowledge, but you now have to act on it. It may be religious knowledge, career knowledge, school knowledge, or even life knowledge, but all of it is useless if it's not applied. No one can make you apply yourself. Only you have that can do that. You have to make yourself. Calvin Coolidge said:

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

 

 Take your knowledge and press on toward your dreams and goals. Use it to create the life that you dare to aspire to live. You are worthy of your dreams, you deserve to live them, and you deserve your best. Change your life and your life will change. Do it long enough, and watch the lives of those around you begin to change as well. Impact your life and you can impact the world.
