Do you have any idea of your true potential?
You have it within you to be far, far more than you have ever given yourself credit for. Instead most of us allow our self esteem to be battered to the floor.
We’ve all seen the estimates. Scientists have told us for years that we use just five to ten percent of our total brain capacity. At that rate, we should all be towering geniuses. But most of us don’t tower in the slightest.
Newer studies, meanwhile, indicate we may have far more mental horsepower than the earlier figures indicate. Researchers now believe our thinking is done holographically. This means a thought process may be spread over a wide area of the brain, and that dozens of different processes may concurrently be using overlapping areas of our gray matter simultaneously. If your brain truly is a hologram, then there is virtually endless capacity in your head.
But when you read this, do you instantly adjust your self esteem and self image, thinking of yourself now as a mental giant? No, because most of us don’t know how to make this leap. You and I, all of us, are contained within a tiny box, and there we stay because… well… that’s who we are.
Really, the main thing stopping you from using more of that gigantic capacity is being unaware that it’s possible. Now, however, you know about it, so your only barriers are not knowing HOW to do it, and the belief that you couldn’t do it even if you did know how. So why waste effort on it?
If you ever fully accepted, believed and began using your full mental capacity, what could you accomplish? Imagine a world full of people with that much brain power, that much self esteem, that much competence. How long would poverty last? Illnesses? Wars or famine?
Even today’s political structures would likely morph into something utterly different. Governments, both representative and authoritarian are premised on the idea that a few talented (or powerful) individuals can choose more wisely for us than we can choose for ourselves. And we allow this.
Think of the possibilities. No, really… I mean think. Right now — as an assignment. Think of all the things that would be different in a world where no one believes in victims or oppressors. Where no one would settle for illness or afflictions. Where every person on earth knows what their birthright is — and accepts it in full.
How would you like to live there? Why not make a beginning today? You could start by introducing yourself — right now — to your new, fully-equipped self.
Welcome to the limitless you.
