OMG! How Tall I’m, A Blind Woman Just Told Me That I am Tall!
We heard a conversation for few more moments and as we wrapped up, this young woman who was blind and couldn’t see, she said to me, “I thought you are a bit shorter?” I said “What?”
And she said, your voice is not coming from down here but your voice is coming from up here. And I said “Oh!” and one of my client who was with me said to me, “isn’t that remarkable? She is blind but she can tell how tall you are.
She didn’t need eyes to see, do you understand. Sometime in life, it takes the most simplicitic level of understanding because all we are seeing is what it is that we see but we are not getting to the depth of certain realities.
How you see your problems and challenges is not indicatives of what there are but how you see problems and obstacles, will tell you a lot about yourself and if you perceive problems and obstacles solely through the way that its appears, the conditions at which they appear, how you encounter them, your present state before it came and what you are going through. The fundamental question you have to ask yourself is, “why do you see them that way?”
Your organs of sensory perception and your strength to carry on even when you are knocked down by life challenges, they are not limited to the eyes that you see with, the muscles that you carry with, the faith that you believed in even the strength that you carry on with.
But you have a primary organ of cognition that will synthesis all of the information gathered as it goes into you in various ways. If you don’t know why these problems are presenting it-self to you, it’s just going to regurgitate the same challenges we go through each day. Our depth strength is not when we cry and pour out our pains but when we forge ahead even when life throws a harsh wind of obstacles and setbacks at us.
This is imperative to be able to reflect on those things that you can utilize to achieve your success. Because in your struggles, you have full opportunities to decide what is it that you want out of your struggles, and how you want to end your journey.
Why not ask yourself today, what do I need to work out my success despite what I am going through?
Because for certain battles to be won, those battles have to take place in the first place. But so many of us have the ability to fight to the end and smile at the end, we sit back and do nothing.
DON’T HOLD BACK WHAT IT IS THAT YOU HAVE THE UNIQUE ABILITY TO OFFER! That is the kind of decision you want to be able to harness.
Today make an affirmation that your strength, your determinations, your focus, your abilities, your creativities, your desire, your dreams even your pains will not be wasted because of problems and obstacles.
Always take time to understand that what it is that life has thrown at us or fed us with is not often what is reality and the gain will not only be for those whose predecessors lead a perfect foundation for.
But your strength to carry on will broaden in a way that you can’t even imagine.
May you be protected always from the hearts that are not humble, tongues that are not wise, eyes that can’t see beyond its limits, and minds that have forgotten how to conceive great ideas.
You might be the only one that is standing when everyone is seated, you might be the only that is speaking when everyone is silent moreso, you might be that critical voice of motivation to others who have fail on the path to greatness and for everyone to get going. Go forward and be the reason that people have hope in this world.
