"Nearly Everyone takes limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.

A few do not. Join them."

One of the persistent obstacles to unlocking human capacity is the vagueness or narrowness of our view of time. If we let ourselves get swept along in the all consuming times of the 'now', there is little chance to ponder what came before or imagine what is yet to come. History and memory are the vital factors in unlocking human potential. Thus, it is important to spend at least a few minutes each day recalling something about where you come from and the experiences in life that have had the greatest influence in shaping what you have become. Remembering family traditions, adversities from the past, and challenges in the past serves to sharpen and deepen your perspective. Many people who have had it hardest in life, or whose ancestors had it the hardest, have greater access today to hidden capacity. Think of the sacrifices teachers/coaches, ancestors, and mentors had so you could have freedom and a better life. Think of the sacrifices you have done so that you can be the best you can be at whatever you are trying to become. For all of you who competed this past weekend or are about to compete in the future; use this forward / backwards looking techniques to help your remember what you have experienced in the past weekend and apply it towards the future.
