Today's
Meditation:
We
all have handicaps, even if we're not confined to
wheelchairs or if we don't have highly visible ones.
Some of us have great fear in social situations (that would
be me!), or we're unable to do things that other people
consider normal or simple. There are people with
dyslexia who have a hard time reading, and there are people
who cannot do simple math equations without some sort of
help.
No
matter what your handicaps, though, it's important that you
focus on your potential, on all the possibilities that are
here in your life. You can do virtually anything you
want to do in life, as long as you're willing to dedicate
yourself to whatever it is. Too many people focus on
their limitations, and in doing so they sabotage their
potential, never allowing themselves to reach it because
they never worked at developing their gifts.
You
may be weak in some things, but you're definitely strong in
others-- we all have our strengths and weaknesses. If
we spend so much time worrying about the weaknesses that we
never can focus on our strengths, though, we're basically
ensuring that we never make the best of our best. By
focusing on our strengths, we can learn to compensate for
the weaknesses. By focusing on the weaknesses, we
never can learn to develop our strengths.
You
have great possibilities in this life, and it's up to you to
find out what they are and to start developing your
strengths so that you can make the absolute most out of your
best. You owe it to the world to give to it the best
you have, and you owe it to yourself to make the most of the
wonderful gifts that were given to you!
