WHAT IS HOLDING US BACK?

·         Inability to Use Talent

Albert Einstein said, “I think I used about 25% of my intellectual capacity during my life.”

According to William James, human beings use only 10-12% of their potential. The saddest part of most people’s lives is that they die with the music still in them. They haven’t lived life while alive. They rust o WHAT IS HOLDING US BACK?

·         Inability to Use Talent

Albert Einstein said, “I think I used about 25% of my intellectual capacity during my life.”

According to William James, human beings use only 10-12% of their potential. The saddest part of most people’s lives is that they die with the music still in them. They haven’t lived life while alive. They rust out rather than wear out. I would rather wear out than rust out. The saddest words in life are: “I should have.” Rusting out is not to be confused with patience. Patience is a consciou ut rather than wear out. I would rather wear out than rust out. The saddest words in life are: “I should have.” Rusting out is not to be confused with patience. Patience is a conscious decision; it is active and involves perseverance and persistence. Rusting out is idleness and passivity.

Someone asked an elderly person, ‘What is life’s heaviest burden?” The elderly person replied sadly, “To have nothing to carry.”

·         Lack of Discipline

You have a choice in life: You can either pay the price of discipline or regret. – Tim Connor

Have you ever wondered why some people never reach their goals? Why they are always frustrated with reversals and crises? Why do some people have continued success, while others have endless failures? Anyone who has accomplished anything worthwhile has never done so without discipline, whether in sports, athletics, academia or business.

 People without discipline try to do everything, but commit themselves to nothing. Some so-called liberal thinks have interpreted lack of discipline as freedom. When I am in an aircraft I want a pilot who is disciplined and does what he is supposed to do and not what he feels like doing. I don’t want him to have the philosophy, “I’m free. I don’t want anyone from the control tower telling me what to do.”

Lack of consistency is poor discipline. Discipline takes self-control, sacrifice, and avoiding distractions and temptations. It means staying focused. Steam does not move the engine unless it is confined. Niagara Falls would not generate power unless it were harnessed.

We all know the story of the tortoise and the hare. The hare bragged about his speed and challenged the tortoise to a race. The tortoise accepted the challenge. They appointed a fox as the judge. The race started and the tortoise kept going, slowly but the hare sprinted off. He quickly left the tortoise behind. As he was confident of winning the race he decided to take a nap. By the time he woke up, remembered the race, and resumed running, the tortoise had already reached the finish line and won.

Consistently takes discipline and is more important than erratic effort. Discipline and regret are both painful. Most people have a choice between the two. Guess which is more painful.

Generally children brought up with excessive freedom and a lack of discipline grow up not respecting themselves, their parents or society, and have a hard time accepting responsibility.
