I love this quote so much. It's so truthful too... I think the point that the person was trying to say is that the only limitations we have in our lives are the ones we set for ourselves. Sadly; most of us limit ourselves in our thoughts and words. My dad constantly tells me that words have power; and that how you think affects how you live. If any of you have actually read his posts; you'd know this too. I really agree with him on this. Your thoughts control you; more than you'd know... they become your beliefs and those shape your character. As said by Lao Tzu:
“Watch your thoughts, they become words; watch your words, they become actions; watch your actions, they become habits; watch your habits, they become character; watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.” I see so many go through life dragging themselves down through their self-given opinions; stating that they are ugly when they are beautiful; or shy when they are outgoing. Their belief of themselves changes how they act and who they are; and thus by them believing it's true; everyone around them begins to believe it too. You trick yourself into falsehood. Telling yourself that you cannot do something almost guarantees that you will never do it, unless you change your mindset. Change your thoughts and you can change your life; you really can. I don't know. I didn't want to do a particularly long post on this subject since my dad has written about it before; so here you go; I guess. Just a little food for thought throughout your day. - Maddie
