This is what I am certain of:

I know who I was.
I know who I am now.
I can never know who I will become.

There is more to us than meets the eye. So, we have got to really doubt all false thoughts and imaginations.
Brilliant work! love it!

I love the last statement.

“You can make up something else if you want. Because the truth about you is magnificent.”

You just made my day.

Your post reminds me of the 81 short poems in the Tao Te Ching. 26 centuries ago, author Lao Tzu urged readers to drop expectations in order to expand reality along with expanding the mind. Part of poem number one says:
without expectation
one will always perceive the subtlety
with expectation
one will always perceive the boundary

“When you doubt yourself, you open a window” — this is a great observation. Anytime we can cause ourselves to look at something another way, and perhaps consider new possibilities we’re in for a treat! The smallest shift can lead to amazing new frontiers!

“Because I can almost certainly guarantee you, that what you think you’re capable of, is much less than what you’re really capable of.”

I really like this post, and it’s ideas. I will definitely keep this, and remind myself of it. I think it’s a novel idea. Thanks for sharing!

Some nice advice, I’ll make sure to keep this in mind the next time I’m feeling extremely down about something. :)

Short but good post jonathan, it is very apt. They say beliefs are the cornerstone of success and that the first step to changing limiting beliefs is to create doubt that they are really true

I love this!! What a great perspective to adopt! We believe the negative things that people tell us. We’re not enough, we can’t make it, we can’t become, we’ll never be…

Thank you for this encouraging post!
