What if you were limitless?
What dreams would you take hold of and just do? How many items in your “bucket list” would you do? How many more things would you add to your bucket list? Couldn’t you fulfill those “Delusions of Grandeur” that you have always had?
I recently watched a movie named “Limitless.”
Whether you have seen the movie or not, its time to see it right after reading this blog entry. Think of the movie as a brain expanding film, for YOUR brain.
Very interesting…especially the last words in the movie. Don’t worry, I’m not a spoiler. The movie is action packed, thought provoking, addictive, and great entertainment. But it is much, much, more than simply entertainment.
If you could actually get all the crap in your brain that is messing with your mind out of the way, you could actually do anything. When we are born our minds are limitless. As explore our environment, restrictions begin developing. By the time we are six years old our minds have realized that there are limits. Most put there by parents for our safety. As we get into our teen years we are all messed up. We want to conform, but also want to be ourselves. Whichever way we decide, its wrong. Once we are in our early 20′s we are so constricted by our own minds, and all the small talk that takes place there. As we get older we realize that all the restrictions and constrictions in our life have been set before we reached 6 years old. Then we decide to act like a six year old (because as old people we can get away with it), or we step up to the challenge and start enjoying life by making things happen!
The trouble is that we have wasted the time of our lives from 6 years until we come to the realization, if indeed we ever do come to the realization.
One of he best quotes in the movie is: “I don’t have disillusion of grandeur — I have a recipe for grandeur.” -Edward Morra
We all can have a recipe for grandeur, its called goal setting. A plan for whatever we want to do, starting whenever we decide to start. Most of us either don’t believe we can have what we really want, or it is too much work to set goals, write them out, and move toward them with a plan of action. Or we tell ourselves, someday I’ll…and we all know that someday never comes.
Your homework? Watch this movie – at least twice.
Everything is possible when you open your mind.
