mental block!

Listening to : Broken - Lifehouse

When your body, heart, sight fails you. What is your first reaction?
When you do not have control over your circumstances, you fear.
You are afraid of the unknown, of what is uncharted.
It is very likely that you wouldn't cross boundaries which you have never gone before.
Limits are set into place to really place our minds in a cage.
Laws of science should be broken as easily as they are made.
This is what I've come to realize.
The more we know, the more we lack.
I'm very amazed by the actions and thoughts of a child.
When he does not know the real law of gravity, he believes he can fly.
If he wasn't taught this by his parents, he wouldn't stop believing that.
Maybe thats actually possible?

Another approach to this concept would be the idea that with such laws of limitation, we also bring to light the many solutions that have come to pass.
Yes, the little boy was wrong, he shouldn't be thinking of flying.
However, in our modern age, that is now possible. We have defied gravity in a sense.
Isn't this amazing?
If we look around, maybe we're really too sheltered by all these limitations.
Since everyone knows that the World Record for the 100m by Usain Bolt is now 9.53 sec.
The normal person would fixate his thoughts into believing that he CANNOT pass such a mark.
However, maybe some really can but are just limited.
They don't believe in themselves strong enough to look at that record in the eyes and say that they can take it on.

We set and build our lives around these limitations.
Don't drink or eat unhealthy stuff, don't sleep with another, don't talk to strangers.
Its just sooo many laws.
I'm definitely not saying they're bad, some are required.
But they set too closed a boundary for all of us.
When the time comes for such a boundary to be teared down, we can't.

And at many a times, when we are about to be disappointed, we fall back to these walls.
They give us comfort, but very often, false comfort.
It is an excuse for us to under achieve at times.
Ultimately, its all up to us to determine whether we consider such issues or not.
We are the substances, not the technicalities which make the difference.
When men to your left rise and fall, you don't. You stand and believe that you can achieve.
Cause nobody said you couldn't, nobody placed that thought of giving up in it.
Even if you do, overcome it!
