According to scientists, the bumble bee is too heavy and its wings span too small. From an aerodynamics point of view, the bumble bee cannot fly. But the bumble bee, you see, doesn’t know that. And it keeps on flying as though it has absolutely no understanding of it. It just keeps doing what it wants to do, and that is to fly freely everywhere at any given time using all of its energy.

Now when you don’t know your limitations, you go out and surprise yourself. In hindsight actually, you wonder if you even had any limitations.

The only limitations a person has are those that are self-imposed. Those are the limitations that hold us back from doing what we want to do, going where we want to go or need to go, and reaching goals that we’ve set for ourselves. Those limitations are there because of us, not because of the project, or the intent, or the concept, but because of us.

Don’t let anything put limitations on you. Don’t even let your knowledge or your thoughts put limitations on you. Be like the bumble bee. It cannot fly. From an aerodynamic standpoint, it just doesn’t have what it takes. And this is scientifically proven, but it doesn’t pay attention to that.

So you can overcome any limitations at any time, if you want to. If you’re really, truly focused, you can do whatever you wish even though science says you can’t. And I strongly suggest that you do that to get where you want to get at the point that you think is appropriate without any limitations or any type of obstacles. Overcome them all. Overcome them first in your thoughts, then in your speech by expressing it, and then with your actions to do what you wish at any given time.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 365 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

It is interesting that the Bible describes humankind in four different terms. It says in describing the unique qualities of the humankind there are four terms that are used. One says, “it's the quality of the mind and the intellect”; it is a certain type of person. Another one is that “the quality of the heart and the emotion”. The third kind, is “the weakness on either the intellect or the emotion or both”. The fourth kind is the person who “overcomes the inner weakness or remove the obstacles and hindrances to the attainment of some kind of intellectual or emotional quality”.

Each and every one of these unique qualities of different humans are present in all of us. Each one of us try, at any given time, to enhance or make better what was in our life. We don't know how much there is and sometimes, we don't know how much we can do but one thing is for sure: we've all been given the opportunities to overcome these emotions. Humankind as it is known, can do whatever it wants to. You can control your emotions. You can direct your heart. You can instruct and teach your intellect. You can overcome any weakness or hindrances at any given time.

Knowing that you have the strength, the first key component to succeed is that you must identify yourself as one of those four qualities of humankind.

Which one are you?

If you associate yourself with one of those, you'll be able to better understand the power that you're given and the work that you have to do to become better. The key, as a human being in life today, is to find out what your weaknesses are and not focus on the weaknesses but focus on your strengths. You need to know your weaknesses so you can focus on your strengths.

In other words, don't focus on the negativity. Don't think too much about the things that you can't do. The things that you can do, the things that you're good at, what people know you as, take those and make them shine. Make them better, bigger, stronger, wiser. Share it with everyone. Whatever your qualities, you know what they are. Don't focus so much on the things that you cannot improve or that you have a hard time fighting. Focus on the things that you can make better. You will see it overshadow all the other things and you'll improve all together to become a better human being.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 363 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

This is something we have spoken about before, but I believe strongly in the understanding and the belief in yourself. I know for a fact—and this is something which I’ve always believed in—that each and every human being has the power to do whatever they wish.

With the forces of nature, the goodness of the ultimate worlds, and with the help of G-d, anyone can do what they want. But you have to ask yourself, “Do I still believe I can do this? Am I able to?”

The most important ingredient of success is belief in yourself and what you’re striving towards. There’s nothing more important than that. The highest ambitions are nothing if think about it without the conviction that you can actually reach them. It’s just an ambition, but you have to believe that. You have to know that.

You need to take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself, is your passion and drive matching up with your aspirations?

That’s a very important question. The skills and the know-how are less than half of the battle. But if you don’t believe you can do it, it will be very hard to convince anyone else you can.

You have to be your own cheerleader before you can expect anyone else to be. This has to come from you. It has to start with you. It all starts with you and that’s what matters in life.

Know who you are.

Know your limitations.

Know your strengths, and know that those limitations are only limitations in your mind and that you can overcome them.

Know that other people with a lot less than you have and a lot less fortune than where you are have done so much more. This should give you an incentive to become better, to do more, to share, and to grow continuously. Don’t let anything be in your way. Limitations are only the limitations that you’re creating in your own mind.

Change that, it’s not so difficult. The difference between north and south is a simple turn. And after today, you never have to be the same again, only by choice. I have said it many times in this podcast, but the reason why I’m repeating this is because not only do I believe in it, I’ve seen it myself. Not just for me but for many people around me.

It’s truth, it’s a fact that is who we are. That’s the way the world was built and created. With the intent to give each and every human being, irrespective of where they are born or when they are born, the ability to overcome every obstacle at any given time.

You need to ask yourself a question, “Do I still believe I can do this?” If the answer is yes, do it.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 362 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever asked a question and thought about the concept of what you’re doing and what you want to do? What is your game plan, this is a question to ask many times throughout your year, throughout your life. While you are challenging yourself, you should also map out some strategies that will allow you to become more efficient and precise at what you’re doing.

If you’re trying to work faster and better, you need to develop routines and processes that will allow you to do so. You need to sit down and create a physical map and a plan that will take you through all of these concepts and get you to where you are trying to go to at a certain time. This is what it’s all about.

Now of course you need to leave room in there for detours that could happen because you could end up taking some short cuts. This is what happens when you learn and you go. But you have to have a game plan. You can’t just wake up in the morning and say, “Okay, what do I do now? And whatever happened then doesn’t matter.” No, you can’t do that.

A game plan means having a vision and understanding what the future is going to bring. We need to borrow from the experiences of the past, formulate them in the visions of the future to use them in the present as an incentive to make it better today and make it possible for you.

This is what life is all about, making it a difference, leaving a legacy. Whether it’s to yourself, to your spouse, to a better half, to family members, to your family, to colleagues, neighbors, citizens in your country, or to the whole world you need to make a difference and use your full potential. Your game plan is what helps you get there.

With this game plan, you have the ability to whenever you wish to formulate and change it. If you see that the road that you’re taking is not quite the appropriate or successful one, or you find that perhaps it’s too difficult, you need to make a small detour. Do that, after all this is your plan. You write the road map, it is yours to change at any time that you wish.

The strategies that you use, the concept that you develop, the ideas that you have—all of these are yours. If you don’t like them, tear up that page in your book and start a new one. If you don’t like that book, throw it away and start a new one. It’s all yours. You have the power and the freedom of choice. Use it wisely.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 361 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Have you ever asked the question, “What do all creations in our world have in common? Which part of existence is so essential that the world can't live without it? Do you know? If we remove the color blue from the world, what would happen? What is the one thing that the world has to have in order to exist?”

It's an interesting question, isn't it?

Let me suggest that the one thing that all creation has in common is limitation. Every creation has its own personal limitation and boundaries beginning somewhere and ending somewhere else. Starting at one time and ending at another time. There are two primary ingredients in the element of limitation in our world: there's time and there's place. There is nothing in our world that can say it experiences yesterday and tomorrow as exactly the same, or that north and south are equivalent. That can never be said, it is not possible.

This is because limitation is part of the definition and makeup of both the world and its creations. Without limitation, without time and place, the world will cease to exist. Limitation and existence are interdependent.

Now, you might want to ask the question, "What about personal imitations, where do they come from?"

Things that are limited to you in your mind are your own imagination. There are things that you've come up with and you've conjured and things that you have made up in your own mind.

As a human being, you have the power to do whatever you want and exercise to the furthest extent of possibilities, anything that you want. It's all within your abilities. You have to know that it's not only possible, but that it is possible for you. Once you realize that, then you realize that limitations are all imaginary. If you want to become great, if you want to become rich, if you want to become healthy, sophisticated, unique, then it's all up to you.

You have the power to change anything you wish. You cannot change the outside like the weather, sunshine, the seeds, the oil, but you can change yourself. That's all given to you. Your personality, and the limitations that exist are all imaginary in your mind; so why not revise this and change who you are? Change everything about yourself. Change the person you are, change your life by changing yourself. This is something you deserve because after all, this is your world. So, why not make it the best that it can be? And you deserve it.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 360 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

Life is about the accumulation of many experiences. Some which could be fun and pleasant, and others which may seem challenging and difficult. Now at times, especially in our professional life, but certainly in our life in general, we make mistakes. The most important question is not so much, why did this mistake happen and what it is that I have done to cause that mistake?

But are you learning from that mistake?

Am I learning from each and every mistake that has happened?

See most patterns of success typically includes plenty of failures. That’s just the way things are. That is completely normal and even healthy. However, the important thing is that you’re learning and you are rarely making the same mistake twice. You don’t want to repeat the mistakes. You want to learn from it and move on.

When you hit a roadblock, take the time to evaluate what went wrong, what needs to change, and how you can prevent it from happening in the future. Try to take a nugget of wisdom from each failure you encounter on your road to success. That’s all it is.

By not repeating that mistake, not only will it make it better for you, but you will also grow. You can now use this mistake as an experience and a spring board to become and make things better from here on out. It’s impossible to think that you’re going to go through life without making mistakes. Nobody can actually believe that, nobody does that. Everybody makes mistakes. The question is how do we resolve these mistakes and what do we do about it?

You need to continuously look at those mistakes, those concepts and learn from them. Now don’t dwell on them. Don’t spend too much time saying, “My goodness. Look what I have done wrong. Poor me.”

That is not what life is all about. Take the lesson from those mistakes, and learn from them, and resolve not to repeat them again. That’s what it is, an accumulation of experiences that will help you to spring yourself forward continuously. By doing so, you will benefit, and you will benefit the whole world around you.

Don’t dwell on the past, dwell in the present so that you can change the future. And only use the past experiences to help you do so without having to cry, or think that this is the end of the world. It’s not the end of the world. It was just a mistake. It was not good. That is true, and you shouldn’t have done it. That is also true. But now that it’s done, let it go and learn from your mistake.

Professionally, you should ask yourself on a regular basis if what you’re doing is what you should be doing. You should ask yourself, “Am I in the right niche?” If you don’t have passion for what you do in the way that you’re doing it, you won’t be motivated to overcome the natural barriers and the obstacles often that life puts in the way of success.

Even if you started out with passion by the bucket full, it can fade away. At one point in time it may not be there. It is so important to routinely check with yourself, and your motivation, “Am I in the right niche?”

If you feel like your passion, your ambitions, your drive is waning, and you’re burning out then you may want to change. You may find something so that it is necessary to reignite the energy for the business that you’re doing.

Finding a niche and something which sustains you emotionally will give you the clear mind and the passionate drive that you need to succeed. This isn’t something that happens by itself. At any given time, it can fade away. You need to constantly ask yourself:

Am I making a difference?

Not, “How much money am I making in this job?” But, “Who am I becoming and what am I doing for the world?”

Now you may say, “Well, my job is rather simple. I just do administrative work. Things which are not that important and that I can not change.”

That’s not true, your job is very important. Whatever job you do can make a difference in the company. Even if what you’re saying is correct and that you are only answering the phone for the company, you’re a receptionist. Without your ability to answer the phone properly and directing the people to the right person everything falls apart. None of these professionals could function.

If you think about it, even what you may call a “small job”, like a receptionist, is the backbone and the fundamental concept at what makes that company successful.

Every job done honestly and with integrity is as important as the most important job that you can think of. A nurse in an operating room is just as important as the surgeon. They both serve a purpose and they are both needed and helping one another save the life of that patient. It is the same thing in every single profession.

Find yourself a niche. Something that you feel confident, that you like, that gives you not just a passion, but gives you an ambition. Nurture that, and that should keep you going at all times.

Life is all about “me.” Often people say things such as, “The world was created just for you.”

Now if that is true, then the question is what are you going to do about it? There are things that we need to be selfish about. Those things are particular to what it is that makes us different than others. But selfishness is not a good trait.

It is interesting when a person says, “Everything is all about me at the end of the day.” This is subjective to selfishness and conflicting interests. But if you pay attention to other people and the collective effort focused on being unselfish, it not only brings unity among people but it brings success in everything that you do.

Seeking selfishness, being selfish, or liking to be selfish does not get you anywhere. It just keeps you, yourself in your own world. “All about me” means that the world was created so that I, as an individual and human being, have the opportunity to make this place where I am today and wherever I go, a better place. It doesn’t give me the right to think just about myself.

To the contrary, it’s an opportunity for us to help everyone else.

Being selfish is not a good trait. It is a negative trait which can only bring you down and turn the concept of “all about me” to “just about me.” What you should be saying is, “The world is all about me so that I can make everyone else about themselves greater.”

That is a different look on the world. “It gives me this opportunity to make it not only better, but to shine with them, through them, to take the world to a better place.”

If you think about it, why would you want to live by yourself on an island? You would not even need a name because who would call for you? You would be by yourself. When you live with people, as most of us do in metropolitan areas and cities, we continuously interact with other people; especially given the advancements of technology today. Look how close that we can become with one another.

Why not make this world just that? Use the opportunities available for you to share, give, and tell everyone all the things that you know. Let others be better so that it’s not all about “me” anymore. It’s all about us and making this place a wonderful, wonderful place.

Inspiration: Above and Beyond – Day 356

What I am going to share with you today that may be difficult to accept. But I want you to know that this is a fact, the truth, and something which is real in all aspect of life. When you go through a challenge or a difficulty in life—and it may seem to you as a curse.

But in reality, the way that it appears to you right now the reason for this difficulty, this challenge, this curse, this problem is actually divine. It is so great that to be revealed within our limited world and the way that we live, it must afford the disguise and look as a curse. Quite amazing.

Now our challenge is to see in this perspective, rather than falling into the trap of becoming angry with what happened, with G-d, with nature, or the pain and negativity that exists in order to provide us with a free choice.

Free choice in turn exists in order to enable us to earn the rewards of our own choices. You don’t need to feel unworthy of that blessing. To the contrary, this is coming to you because you have the ability to make that choice. When you recognize that the evil, difficulty, challenge, or the problem exist only to provide you with the free choice to reject it then your struggle becomes much easier.

I hope you can understand this. I know because I myself have gone through it also as every human being in life. When we do face a challenge that seems to be so overwhelmingly huge, monumentally big, above and beyond us.

We say, “How will I overcome this? And why did this happen to me?”

No, don’t think that way.

The greater the difficulty, the bigger the divine behind it. The divine, the concept, and the blessing, you have to understand that. You have to believe it and once you understand that, then you have the free choice. That free choice then gives you the opportunity to say, “I won’t let this happen to me, and I’m not going to let this overcome me. To the contrary, I will make it better. Fight it and win.” It’s at that moment that you succeed.

Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 355 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

There are times in our lives when we are challenged to the point where our principles are being questioned and often put to the test. This is not so simple. We have within ourselves a constant battle. One which tries to push us to do the best that we can for good things. That is a holy part of our body, of our consciousness, of our being. The other tries to make us do things which are improper or in a way which is not beneficial to ourselves or to the rest of the world.

This battle goes on continuously within ourselves. Now at times, often during the day as we meet other people, we also find ourselves being challenged certainly in a way where our own principles are being questioned. What do we do at that time? How do we overcome that? How do we resist this drive and overcome the possibility of doing things which is not proper?

When we are confronted in the case of a challenge, we need to summon at that moment the recollection of our willingness to sacrifice everything for our principle. As well as the willingness itself.

Our ability to assert our human nature, our good part, the person that we need to be, no matter how strong the powers of persuasion could be, the ridicule, or the compulsion that the opposite tries to throw at us, we need to overcome that and not let it take over us. Do not let it win at any given time. That is not so simple because sacrificing a principle may seem at times like the right thing to do. I can tell you that it is never right to sacrifice principles.

Principles are the fundamentals of your life. It is the philosophy that holds you together physically, spiritually, professionally, and to a certain extent in a human way - The person that you are. If you ever take these principles and let them take over by another party which is less than what it should be or opposite of what it should be, then it could be the beginning of an end for you. Don’t let those principles ever change.

These principles are who you are. That’s who you were raised as and that’s the person that you need to be and stay at all times throughout your life. Don’t worry if others mock you or call you names Don’t let that bother you. You know who you are and you know what you can do. Even greater, you know what you’re worth. Let that be a lesson for the rest of your life.
