We, as humans, are capable of anything!
"We are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true.We might have to work for it, however" Richard Bach (This is one of my all-time favourite quotes... If you're into philosophy, his books are definitely worth reading..)
I think there is great truth in what Mr. Bach says. It is one of the simplest concepts of life, for some reason or the other it did not hit me until I read his books (is it just me or....) To be frank, there were many things that I had never tried in the past, things I would have very much liked to do.... whether it was laziness or plain fear, I do not know... And then, I realised that it all just comes back to your attitude.
I think that everyone knows everything...its all hidden in our minds someplace, places we don't dare to explore, and so, it just sits and waits patiently for us to unveil its secrets! Its just a matter of accepting/knowing that you know/are capable of knowing everything. And automatically, you begin to move on and learn newer things and make the best of opportunities that come your way.
For instance, you wanna learn to play the violin. First of all, we have to give up all our inhibitions that we CANNOT play. This is definitely the biggest hurdle. It is obviously difficult to let go of your knowing that you indeed cannot play the violin. Then it will be a hard thing to play the guitar. It will take years of practice before you give yourself permission to play well, and your sub-conscious mind tells you that you have suffered enough the earn the reward of being able to play well. So, practice makes perfect!! And imagine the satisfaction you recieve when u can actually play well....
