The mind is like a castle; full of large mysterious rooms and secret passages. At first glance, you may assume that you know each and every single part of this castle. But as you explore, you might find yourself lost and confused which way to go. You might need to check a blueprint or a map of the castle to be able to tell which door leads to a certain part.
In a person’s mind, we may be conscious about what we see, feel and think what lies inside; but are we truly sure that that is all there is to it?
Many people live in envy of other people’s success in life. You may actually hear someone say “why is his life more blessed than mine?” They come to a conclusion that most people are born with certain gifts… abilities – that each individual is good for something. Yes, they might have a point. Some may find themselves settling for what they have. And that is also a good thing. But why settle for what is just good for you when it is possible to get a better one?
I believe that there is no such thing as “special gifts” for certain individuals. Instead I know for a fact all of us possess those gifts. It is just a matter of discovering and developing it. Let us take creativity as an example. You think that you are not born as creative as the person living next door. But, you may not know that in a certain part of that person’s life, he might have discovered his creativity. May be in his childhood where he gets the chance to express this ability in many ways, thus, enabling his mind and body to adopt into that ability and develop it for a more productive self. And you, because of having doubt, thinking that you are incapable of doing it, have hindered yourself from actually unveiling that certain ability; therefore, you just missed the opportunity to develop that talent…
