“Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.”
I wonder if, deep down in your heart, you know that you are capable of anything and everything? I am talking about ‘knowing‘ rather than ‘believing’. The kind of ‘knowing’ that doesn’t question whether you are alive or breathing or that your arms are right by your sides or that you have a stomach to hold and digest food. That kind of ‘thoughtless’ knowing.
I rather think that you do. However, I also think that that ‘knowing’ is buried under beliefs that persuade you otherwise. And because almost everyone in the sphere of your day to day existence also has their ‘knowing’ buried under similar beliefs, there is a consensus that such beliefs are right and true to the exclusion of all else! And so, the deep, grand, timeless truth of the limitless power that you and I truly are remains ‘hidden’ from us, in slumber! In truth, it is not the power that slumbers but we who do!
Fortunately for us, there have been men and women throughout history who, themselves awake, have sought to awaken those of us still asleep! Orison Swett Marden was one such person. Both his parents having died by the time he turned seven, Orison started working life early. He began in hotels, went on to run them and continued on to become a successful doctor and writer.
Orison Swett Marden certainly knew his power and allowed it to do its incredible work, work which served to inspire many. It is not a power unique to him nor to any of humankind’s visionaries, luminaries and great achievers across all areas of life.
It is a power that we too are, each one of us, without exception! And while it may not inspire us in the same way to do the same things that others have done, it will surely inspire us to live in the grandeur, the beauty, the wonderment, the limitlessness of who we truly are…if we allow it! It is the only way we will be truly happy!
Why settle for anything less?!
“The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.”

Awakening to Happiness!
[...] It is that state of being so focused and so free from any kind of fear or doubt or anxiety (and believe me, I am quite familiar with all of these :)). It’s truly knowing what I want and being inspired by it. No, not motivated but inspired. (If you haven’t read what I mean by that distinction, you’ll find it in my post, Don’t settle for anything less than who you truly are!). [...]
