Beyond
Limitations
My morning began
with Les Brown. No, I didn't have breakfast with him, which would have been
awesome, but instead listened to "Step Into Your Greatness" during my run and then found an
article written by him in SUCCESS On Demand. Click on the link above whenever
you feel like saying, "I can't". Read his words in "Trials in Life Are for Our
Benefit" when you wonder why you have so many challenges...
Pain is a Part of Life by Les
Brown
The most important
thing we have to do with people is understand that pain is a part of life.
Things won’t always go your way. You will have more disappointments than
you will ever begin to imagine. You will have more disappointments than
victories. But eventually, if you stick with it, you will fail your way to
success. So one of the first things I teach people is to be thankful when
things happen to you and begin to look for developing an appreciation for the
possibilities.
I learned this
important lesson when the home I purchased for my mother was foreclosed on. I
neglected to do a title search on the property and found out the previous owner
owed over $50,000 on the home. And when I couldn’t come up with the money,
we had to pack up and go back to the roach-infested house that I just moved my
mother out of in Liberty City, Fla.
I remember when I
was unloading the truck and the neighbors were looking and they said to my
mother, “What happened, I thought your boy got you a home?” And she
said, “He did, but he didn’t do a title search, so we lost it.”
And there I was defeated, crying, feeling stupid with my head hanging low. And
when my mother saw me she came by the side of the truck, put her hand on my
chin and thrust my head up and said “Hold your head up. We still have each
other.”
Even though we
were going through what I thought was a tragic situation, she wasn’t
focused on that. She was focused on us still having each other and on looking
at the possibilities ahead. Whatever you focus on the longest becomes the
strongest.
Les Brown says,
"Whatever you focus on the longest becomes the strongest." Kyle Maynard's
parents didn't let him focus on his obstacles and limitations. He was born with
arms that end at the elbow and legs near the knees, but that hasn’t
stopped him from literally climbing mountains. He is a motivational speaker,
author, entrepreneur and athlete. He has literally set athletic records and
climbed mountains, going far beyond his limitations.

succeeded and how his parents allowed him to dream and focus on his goals.
