Recently, I read a story about three young boys whose route to school went alongside a high wall. Every day as the boys walked to school they wondered what was on the other side of the wall.
Finally, one day, their curiosity grew so strong that one of the boys said “Let’s find out”, and threw his cap over the wall. “Now I have to climb the wall to see what’s on the other side” he declared.
The other two boys gawked at him in disbelief. But then as they watched him begin to climb, they threw their caps over the wall and joined him. They didn’t want to be left behind. They wanted to experience the discovering themselves, not just hear about it.
For there to be a change in our life, we must be eager to challenge our status quo and go beyond any limitations we might have set for ourselves. We must take the actions to be taken to get to our next level. Nothing will change unless we take actions to make it change.
You need to grow to the person you want to become. You need to stretch yourself to achieve your dreams. If the same thing you couldn’t do last 3 or 5 years ago is still your limits today, that shows you’re not growing.
You may not want to challenge yourself because you are afraid that you may fail. Though nobody wants to fail but you must trust the process and take the actions that will make you to achieve your goals.
If you did not try or limit yourself because of pain or other excuses that means you’re getting worse because it’s either you’re getting better or you’re getting worse.
Challenging yourself will reveal the hidden potential in you. It will make you to discover something new about yourself that you never knew existed before.
Challenge yourself every day to be better than who you were yesterday, last month or last year. Take a step, even though it is baby step.
Do something you have never done before to become who you’ve never become before. You will never regret doing that for yourself because it will be profitable.
Remember, Success is Achievable
