The other day I was reminded of that classic line by Charles Dickens,

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”  

The best of times would never happen without the worst of times. And the worst of times are, most of the time, for the better. (Even if it doesn’t seem like it!)

For it’s when the thick of the moment threatens to cloud your vision in the midst of a nosedive - that’s when people show their true grit and you find out how beautifully you can soar through the air.

I’ve found that most answers reveal themselves through doing, not just thinking. So when you feel like you’re hitting a wall - just keep tackling the next thing you can do and make the next best decision you can make. These truths you create for yourself are moulded by YOUR thinking. The wall is a wall because you believe it’s a wall. 

Einstein aptly noted, “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking".

The wall doesn’t exist without you. There’s just you, your brain, and your two solid feet to kick down whatever is holding you back. 

Authors like Dickens are great at bending the rules. Or completely ignoring them and inventing their own. Check out Shakespeare, who created almost two thousand new words in the English language that we still use today, centuries after he penned them. How gnarly is that.

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.

What truths are you creating that may actually be of your own fabrication? What doubts are you yielding to, that are holding you back? How can you be more open to discovering the undiscovered? What has been living in your brain for so long that you actually want to DO?

Keep up the spectacular effort everyone.
