Free of Limitations

Any limitation you encounter is not in the situation itself. The limitation is in the way you choose to interpret and respond to the situation.

As such, you have power over every limitation. Because those things that appear as limitations are powered by your perceptions.

Yes, the difficult situations and challenging obstacles are indeed real. Remember, though, that you can decide to see them and to respond to them in a positive, empowering manner.

There is always a way to reach the destination you have chosen. Focus not on those things that appear to be limitations, but rather on the goal you have set.

It is easy to blame this limitation or that for your lack of progress. It is far better to find a way to move beyond the challenges, for that is where you will experience the success you are meant to create.

Decide not to be a slave to your limitations. For you can always choose to be the master of your possibilities.

Ann,

I have put off very important things for the past two days...

Perceptions...thanks for reminding me...

Tomorrow I will go out and do as much as I can with no

expectations good or bad..just do what I need to for myself..

with a positive attitude..act as if the problem is solved..

And leave the outcome to God!

Thanks again...

Your friend..



Sherry
