What Do You Believe, For You?

ByMatthew

Our aspirations are our possibilities. – Robert Browning

I can’t guarantee that you will achieve everything you attempt.

In fact, I’m sure you (and I) won’t succeed 100% of the time.

But, we almost guarantee that we won’t achieve something, if we don’t believe we can.

When we have ideas about what we want and what we think is possible for us – our aspirations – we can either begin the process of achieving, or we can believe that it isn’t possible.

What I want you to do is be gentle and curious with your aspirations.

Be discerning as well.

But don’t be doubting.

It’s okay to pick-and-choose amongst your aspirations.

It’s advisable to examine them for authenticity and true desirability – make sure they are yours and that you want them enough to really do the work.

Regardless, always remember that your aspirations come to you for a reason . . . a good reason.
