I so enjoy your writing! Glad I was able to discover your blog.

I love the message and tone of this post. I believe that the greatest thing that we can ever do for ourselves is to fully understand our own capacity for achievement. We all have the capacity to live at a much higher level. The key is giving ourselves permission to do so.

Here is my question: How do we get your message, and messages similar to yours, out to people not exposed to blog posts like this one? That is the one thing that frustrates me with my own writing. How do we get this powerful empowering info out to a large population that really could benefit from the info? I don't have the answer, other than perhaps messages like this need to be hand delivered by believers like me to those in need of the message? Are Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail really the only tools we have to reach those on the outside?

Any ideas on how we can make positivity and optimism viral?

Thanks.

But more than opportunity we need to balance our desires, what we want to achieve, with the work to get us there. Teachers can teach us the basics but what I see far more often that I want lately are people who say “I want X's level of success. If I can just be like X I'll have the same luck in life”.

We're all unique because of our history. The building blocks of who we are now defines us. Can we redefine ourselves? Yes. Can we be exactly like someone else? No. And who would want to.

One of the things my own past has taught me is earning success is easy with hard work and a strong desire to keep chipping away at the fears until we achieve our goals.
