Our greatest potential are those chains that pull us toward our greatness, the problem lays in that fact that we cannot clearly see what that future really is. It's an intangible. As much as we try to envision it, dream about it, and plan for it, it is still as if we are looking at it through a dense fog at times. We can see some color, a shape, and maybe even smell what we believe that our future will be like, but inevitably, it is still an illusion of sorts. Our future is an abstract thing that we cannot completely grasp a hold of without some doubt.
Usually, the chains of the past, are those things in which left scars on us emotionally. Those words from a family member or friend that cut us like a knife. That resentment that we feel toward someone that did us wrong. Maybe it's a mistake that we made and just can't seem to forgive ourselves for. Whatever it is, understand that these chains only serve one purpose, to keep you from your greatness.
The chains that bind us to our past, many times, are stronger than those pulling us to our future. Our past is a tangible thing. We lived through it. We were able to touch it, taste it, hear it, smell it, and feel it. It is real, whereas our future has not yet become a reality. Sure we can still move toward our future, our own personal greatness, but the chains of our past, slow us down, and will prevent us from achieving all that we can or should accomplish. Now for the good news, I have a solution for the chains of the past and how to break them so that you can move toward you personal greatness faster and achieve more. Let go of them. I know that you have heard it a thousand times or more and yes, I know that it's not just that easy. I have had several chains that I had to learn to let go of. It took time, patience, mentors, and a lot of self discovery. But by letting go, I have released myself from many of those things that were holding me back and have been able to grow as a person.
The chains that are pulling us toward the future are only as strong as your greatest weakness. Don't be afraid of your weaknesses, but rather embrace them and work on them. You want to make those chains as strong as possible and you can only do that by working on your weaknesses. You will have to be at your absolute best to achieve your absolute best. Your absolute best is waiting for you, so begin today by letting go of the past and strengthening your weaknesses.
Dream Big...Pursue Big...Live Big
