No Parking Allowed!

By Matthew C. Horne, motivational speaker and leading authority in maximizing human potential and self- development. He is also the president of Optimum Success International and author of "A Massive Dose of Motivation”

My company motto is Your Best Life Possible Awaits You. I say this because your human potential is always beyond your past successes and failures. Your best life possible is what you're capable of living if your vision for your life is beyond the good and bad of your past.

Looking back when your future awaits you is what keeps people parked in life. Parking is an enemy to your limitless possibilities, and will undoubtedly keep you grounded in life. Anything which enters your life and forces you to swing the momentum away from your dream is what forces you to park.

I've made the vow to lose myself in my dream this year. I know that if I lose myself in my dream, then it will begin to make decisions for me which are in accordance with the actualization of my dream.

Your dream, when it consumes you, forms a protective barrier which sets off an alarm when anything poses a detriment to it! So, if you're immersed in your dream, then it becomes difficult to park because the momentum is pulling you in the direction of it constantly, and combating the hindering forces of mediocrity which want to steal your greatness.

Immersing yourself in your dream keeps you looking and moving forward at all times. This is why my favourite book says "Where there is no vision the people perish." Why? Our nature is to surpass any current standing, good or bad, and evolve into the divine beings we are. This occurs as we press towards different marks in life. Forget the good and bad of the past and press.

Never fear failure at the onset of any endeavour. We become discouraged in life when we fall short of our various marks, but if you look back you'll see clearly that every endeavour showed you things about yourself which are pivotal for you functioning at the level you are currently at. You never just stumble into situations in life; you're strategically placed into them with the design that they'll introduce you to some facet of yourself which is in accordance with the true you.

Any situation in life, if viewed correctly, will serve you and not be a deterrent if viewed with an optimistic perspective. There's good and bad in every situation in life. It's just a matter of the perspective you take when viewing the past which determines whether you park, or see the good and allow it to accelerate you towards your vision.

This day, this month, this year, this lifetime, fixate your own NO PARKING sign on your heart, and everything in your life will move you in the direction of your best life possible!
