We Are All Originals
We are all originals. If we understand WHAT makes us original and use all those Crayons every single day, we will live our optimal life. Until that time we will continue to struggle to move forward.
What happens is that after we struggle and struggle, we eventually get tired of a lack of progress and we begin to slow down, we begin to make excuses and then we begin to blame others. When the truth of the matter is that we are the to blame.
Understand you are the answer to all of these problems. Miyamoto Musashi, the great Samurai, tells us as much in his seminal book “The Five Rings”, “There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.”
We have everything we need to be as successful as we want to be. If you don’t use all of your talents (Crayons) then that is your choice. But, be prepared to continue to be frustrated as you work to accomplish other people’s dreams while your years fade away. TRUST in YOU!
