I am nature’s greatest miracle. Boy, do I need this chapter this month!
The repetition of reading daily, multiple times, allows me time to appreciate different statements each time I read.
Today, this section on page 70 in The Greatest Salesman really impacted me in a dramatic way:
“I have unlimited potential. Only a small portion of my brain do I employ; only a paltry amount of my muscles do I flex. A hundredfold or more can I increase my accomplishments of yesterday and this will I do, beginning today.”
(Og Mandino The Greatest Salesman in the World, Scroll IV, p.70)
And shortly after that, we read:
“I am not on earth by chance. I am here for a purpose, and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink into a grain of sand. Henceforth, I will apply all my efforts to become the greatest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.”
(Og Mandino The Greatest Salesman in the World, Scroll IV, p.70)
Here’s how it played out. I did my GS reading and those sections really caused me to pause a moment. Then I read my BPB, DMP and all my cards – out loud. Now it was time for the Master Key reading, followed by The Sit.
During The Sit, I didn’t specifically think about the GS quotes, but I focused on the intended exercise and thought about my future self and the fact that thought is the only reality.
Then I went into my home gym for a workout and that’s where it hit me. Boom! I had been suffering with thoughts of confusion related to my abilities and time restrictions, feeling like I cannot do it all, but I also couldn’t seem to find a path forward.
There as I was doing lunges and squats, I remembered the reading and I became empowered with the knowledge that I indeed am capable of much, much more and I have no business placing such limitations on myself.
I feel as if I’ve been set free in a sense and I am learning to embrace the truth that, “I will win, for I am unique. I am nature’s greatest miracle.”
(Og Mandino The Greatest Salesman in the World, Scroll IV, p.72)



Amy, your breakthrough insight about embracing your true potential and rejecting limitations is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Boom! Congrats Amy! and thank you
Wow, Amy, you definitely shared the “Boom,” and I felt it! I, too, have suffered the same thoughts! It’s amazing how liberating it is when we realize we don’t need to place limitations on ourselves and we are capable of more!
Empowerment during lunges—love it, Amy! A fantastic read.
What a powerful breakthrough Amy. 🌟
You “embodied” the words = “Boom”.
That moment of clarity is amazing. Keep going… the mountain is rising. 💪✨
Amy, Isn’t it incredible the limitations that we put on ourselves, when indeed we are masterful beyond measure.
