Labels and Limitations
"How do you label yourself? How do you label others? Be aware that any label is limiting. Labels stick us in a box where there’s no room to move. Today, experience how it feels to let go of the labels to rest in ‘I am.’ Feel the freedom, the spaciousness, the infinite potential of simply being."
--The Daily Guru
"Man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace."
--William James
"You are what you repeatedly do. First you make your habits, and then your habits make you. You become a slave to your constantly repeated acts. What at first you choose, at last compels. Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters. Your thoughts lead you on to a purpose, your purposes go forth in action. Your actions form your habits. Your habits determine your character, and your character fixes your destiny. Once in motion, a pattern stays in motion."
--The Daily Guru
"Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you."
--Og Mandino
"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend."
--Henri Bergson
"Your self image prescribes the limits for your accomplishments."
--The Daily Guru
"Your mind sets your limits. Everything is possible when you believe it's possible. What you envision you can do, you can do. What your mind can conceive and believe, your mind can achieve. Success is actually a state of mind. Start thinking of yourself as a success. Know in your heart that you can do the job you've set out to do. Believe in yourself. If you think you can, you can."
--The Daily Guru
"The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn but to unlearn."
--Gloria Steinem
"Unlearn what you have learned."
--Jedi Master Yoda
"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."
--Lao Tzu
"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."
--Charles DuBois
"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."
--John F. Kennedy
"Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution."
-- Dr. David Schwartz
"Just as our eyes need light in order to see, our minds need ideas in order to conceive.”
-- Napoleon Hill
"Visualize what you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Your mind is your mental workshop. You can build anything you want in it. The beginning of your success is in your imagination. Make your mental blueprint and then begin construction. See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Use your imagination to perceive your new reality even when it's not fully materialized. Remember, you must first clearly see a thing in your mind before you can do it or have it. Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality. First think, then organize your thoughts into plans. Then transform your thoughts into reality by taking some positive action. See the things you want as already yours. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession. Picture yourself as having already achieved your goal. Dreams and ideas can cross continents and oceans. They go anywhere you can go. What you see is what you get."
--The Daily Guru
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
--Albert Einstein
"Your imagination is your preview to life’s coming attractions."
--Albert Einstein
"Change is created by those whose imaginations are bigger than their circumstances"
--Anonymous
“There is only one admirable form of imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.”
--Sean O’Faolain
"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere."
--Carl Sagan
"Nowhere...it is a place that becomes reality only in the mind, but yet with paths to everywhere leading in all directions."
--Tov
"If you were to create an ideal future for yourself, what would it be like? All things that now exist in form were once simply ideas in consciousness. We each hold the power to manifest different circumstances for our lives. If we wish to manifest a new reality for ourselves, we need to consistently focus our imagination on the ideals we seek to realize. Remember to explore your ideal in terms of qualities, not people or things. What qualities do you most want in life? Freedom? Respect? Playfulness? Abundance? Whatever qualities you seek, imagine experiencing them now and be open to new ways to discover those qualities appearing in your life."
--The Daily Guru
"Do you know the key to creativity? It rhymes with weed. It produces the oak tree. We often eat it or grind it up for flour. It can mean cause or origination. You guessed it. It is SEED. Our minds love to associate one thing to another. But as we get stuck in very fixed patterns of thinking, we think of fewer and fewer connections. We are ruled by habits, associations and automatic responses. So we must stimulate our thinking with lots of different seeds to chart new paths in our brains."
--The Daily Guru
"Don't make your thoughts your prisons. You're more important than any of your problems. What you have outside you counts less than what you have inside you. Courage gives you the power to face your difficulties. It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful than your outside circumstances. Your obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small. Courage gives you the capacity to confront what can be imagined. It gives you the ability to rise above your present reality. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. When you recognize that you're bigger than your problems, you'll gain the courage necessary to overcome anything."
