When Bob Proctor said, “The only limits in life are the ones we impose on ourselves”, he wasn’t just talking about physical breakthroughs like Roger Bannister, who broke the four-minute mile, or the Wright Brothers who were the first to fly.  He was referring to the potential we can’t see.

For instance, human beings can see approximately 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum.  Not 3.5%.  Not 35%.  A mere 0.0035%. This limitation is biological, how our eyes were simply not designed to perceive the vast majority of what exists around us. Yet many people are absolutely convinced that what they can see is all there is.

We cannot see radio waves, yet they carry music across continents.

We cannot see Wi-Fi, yet information travels through our homes at the speed of light.

We cannot see electricity, yet we trust it enough to flip a switch every day.

We cannot see gravity, yet none of us worries about floating off into space.

We accept invisible forces all around us because we have witnessed their effects.

Why then do we struggle to believe in the invisible forces within us??

Take the placebo effect, one of he most fascinating phenomena ever studied that demonstrates routinely and repeatedly the power of the mind.  In the studies, a person is given a sugar pill – no active ingredients, no medicine, no treatment – yet because they believe they are receiving help, the body responds as though it has.  Pain decreases. Symptoms improve.  Healing accelerates.  The body is responding to an idea – a belief – and moves that belief into form.

In his book The Trap, David Icke proposes that the mind is not in the body but that the body is in the mind.  What if the body exists with a much larger field of consciousness? How much power have we overlooked simply because we've been taught to dismiss what cannot be measured with our five senses? 

Aha! ~ You have to believe it to see it.

If your senses reveal only a tiny fraction of our reality, then living exclusively through your senses may be causing you to dismiss the vast majority of possibility.

The greatest limitation may not be your circumstances. The greatest limitation may be your programmed certainty.

Your certainty that you know who you are.

Your certainty that you know what is possible.

Your certainty that what you cannot currently see cannot exist.

Bob Proctor often asked a simple question: "What do you want?" Then he'd pause and ask again. "What do you REALLY want?"

Not what seems realistic. Not what your conditioning allows. Not what your parents believed. Not what your teachers expected. Not what your past has demonstrated.

What do you REALLY want?

Because somewhere between childhood and adulthood, many of us stopped dreaming of what was possible and started accepting what was probable.

Did I light a fire?

After all, if we can only see 0.0035% of the spectrum around us, what percentage of our own potential have we convinced ourselves is impossible?

Before taking your next step, know that you don't need to see the entire path – or any of the path, for that matter. You only need to stop pretending that what you can currently see is all there is.

The acorn doesn’t question whether it can become an oak tree.

Amaze yourself.                      

Spend some time in nature this week and renew your connection to reality … the reality that if a dream lives within you then it is possible.  Email me [email protected] for the zoom link to join the conversation Tuesday at 2:00 pm EDT
