There is no point to saying I don't know how to - *insert whatever you don't know here*.

If you're interested in moving into a new field or moving further into your present field, don't be intimidated because you have the power to learn. In addition, information is so readily available that you can teach yourself almost anything if you have access to a library or a computer.

The only real limits on people are the limits they impose on themselves. If YOU say that you can't swim, you will never swim because you have DECIDED that you can't swim.

The minute you say I can accomplish anything, all of your learning power is unleashed. You never lose, because life is a constant transition of energy. If something is attempted and does not result in success, it does not mean you have lost. It means you were engaged in active learning, and it's time to take a different approach because the previous elements were not the right mixture.

You only lose when you quit, or stop. The only person who can decide to stop is you (but you'll never make that decision).

There are only two places to be; successful, or in the process of being successful. Stopping, quitting or anything else is not an option.

The best ideas will always take time to manifest the corresponding empires. Exams may have to be taken once, twice, three of four times before you actually pass them. In the meantime you are just in the process regardless of how long it takes.

Sometimes we underestimate the power to learn and other times we completely ignore it.  A person may indicate to a group of friends that he or she is interested in becoming a real estate agent. Most respond by saying; “What do you know about real estate?”

Another member of the group may share his or her interest in becoming a chef, to which they respond; “That’s a bad idea, you’ve never cooked a thing in your life and you’ll probably be a terrible chef.”

Consider someone walking into an elementary school and asking the five year old students what they want to be as adults. If a five year old said “I want to be a doctor”, would it be reasonable to respond by saying “What do you know about medicine?”

If another five year old student answered the question by saying “I want to be a lawyer”, would it be reasonable to respond by saying “That’s a bad idea, you don’t know anything about law so you should choose something else.”

The five year old children can study and learn about whatever they are interested in; therefore, expecting them to know everything about their particular areas of interest is absurd.

It is just as absurd to expect a 17 year old, a 27 year old or a 57 year old person to know everything about a subject that interests them before they start studying it. Doing so is equivalent to completely ignoring the power to learn.

You have the power to learn and anything that you are interested in can be mastered with time and practice as you acquire more and more knowledge about it. Embrace the voice that encourages you to learn new things and be motivated knowing that you have the power to learn.

If you're in the process of being successful it's only a matter of time before you are successful.
