Can You Be Successful?

Let me ask you a real simple question. Can you be successful? Do you have what it takes to be as successful as you would like to be?

The sad truth is, if you answered no, you are not alone. Many people do not believe that they have the ability to be successful. They feel that they have some sort of limitation that hinders them from getting what it is they want.

Well, I hate to be the one to tell you but, you determine your own limitations.  That’s right you determine what your limitations are. You may argue that you have some sort of mental or physical disability. I would tell you that, unless you are so disabled that you cannot read this post, your limitation is far less than you make it out to be. I know of web site designers who are wheelchair bound and need help for many of life’s functions. I know of dyslexic people who have advanced degrees. They had what you possibly do not. They had a burning desire and belief in themselves.

Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s finest physicists has overcome severe handicaps. Are you saying you are worse off? Professor Hawking knows that no matter what his physical condition, he has something to contribute to the world.

You determine your limitations. The next time you decide your life is unsuccessful or that you can’t change and have a better life, remember that. You are deciding what you can and cannot do. No one else, you are deciding.
