In one of my Workshops on motivation, I showed a picture of rainbow to the audience with lovely backdrop of mountains and river. I asked the audience, how many colors are there in a rainbow? Everyone, yes everyone smiled and said, “Seven”.
I changed the picture to super zoom rainbow spectrum and asked again, How many colors are there in a rainbow? The class was awe-stuck. There was a silence and their faces looked shocked as their core beliefs were getting challenged. I said, “friends, as you can now see there are millions of colors in a rainbow but we are made to believe since childhood the generic 7 colors”.
Our life in not too different than this example. We are made to believe generic things which we never challenge and due to repetitive endorsements we have made them into personal truths like; this is my daily routine and there’s nothing left to achieve in life further.
I’m married have kids, great family, friends, and live in stress everyday for reasons known only to me. You know what we can be genius in what we do.
A key element of quest to be your best is to become more connected to those moments where your natural genius gets a platform. Like the rainbow we have 7 beliefs but there are spectrum of opportunities we don’t see unless we super zoom, that is explore the possibilities of what can be better than what we are today. Believe me friends, if you know how awesome you are, you will be in a shock for days.
All but the greatest amongst us have disowned the brilliance we house within ourselves and buried the creative giant deep inside with fear of challenging the society. As Seneca said,”It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.”
Why not make 2015 the year of our awesomeness and touch the spectrum of our potential, we never did so far and leave behind a trail for people to follow by setting up an example. I promise you my awesomeness this year, how about you?
