Yesterday I had a conversation with an individual that brought light to the subject of some of my thoughts and concerns that I been having in here. I’m grateful for everything that I already have and for the things that I attract because of who I am as a person. Sometimes I am cautious about spreading my thoughts. Some people don’t deserve it nor the time I waste expressing them because I’m cheating myself. But, when the universe puts gifts in front of you, you must accept these gifts just as much as you have been willing to give because these are just the return on investments that you have put out and will miss if you are too proud or think they need it more then you (offending offered) to accept what is being given. This applies to a person and universe. You must be open to seeing the things that are right in front of you.
The mind is the biggest muscle and strongest in our body, yet throughout life and especially in jail it is what you see people working on the least. The muscles are part of the body and get worn out. They have a limit and have to repair. However,I don’t know if I have ever truly maxed out my mind as I can do with my body. Even if you think your brain is tired your body still functions, moves, makes decisions, receives information. Last night as I was taking a shower I was relating working out to my mind in regards to how I push myself to do one more rep or one more set and realized I have only held myself down even in the things I have been (considered) myself successful at because I have put a ceiling or limit on myself. I use to have a saying, “That there is nowhere to go from the bottom but up, and nowhere to go from the top but down.” so I just wanted to be close to the top of bell curve so I would not fall myself. When this thought came up I started thinking about what is truly the top and what is truly the bottom and how I set limitations on my achievements by not doing one more rep or one more set. Then in reading the universe brings to me “The man who is afraid to do too much, usually fails to do enough.” I closed the book and started thinking that my top is most definitely my new bottom. I have to use this time to do more mental reps and think about my failures and even what I believed to be successes so that I can build on it to improve. I have to be more diligent in the work or development of whatever creative process that I am putting my time in effort into at all times because if I put in one more rep or set on it than something that is good or works might become something great or of excellence. I’ve always had it. We all have it! You just have to keep going. Remember, a winner is just a loser that tried one more time.
