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.”
