I saw a good motivational quote today that I wanted to share:
What you can do with your life has little to do with what’s going on in the world, and everything to do with what you see as possible.
Now, some would dismiss this rather abruptly by saying “that sounds great in theory but…” or “we’re all a product of our environments” or “this is pie-eyed optimism”. Well, I don’t read it that way; I’m a realist and yet I don’t see it as some kind of motivational fluff.
Instead, I read this quote and think about all the times that I thought something was possible and yet, for whatever reason, didn’t go forward with it or went forward with it too cautiously (and vice versa, there were times when all that mattered was what I saw or thought, and I was right, and it worked out). I read this quote and believe it is telling us to take the excuses out of life about why you can’t do something or see its true possibilities because of other factors that simply may not be all that relevant. I guess I believe this quote is about a focused mindset: your focused mindset.
That’s all. It is a good reminder and a good motivational quote depending on how you read it, I guess.
