Dont think you are, Know you are

These are words from the movie "Matrix". If you have watched the movie, my favorite scene is the Kung Fu fight. Morpheus tells Neo these lines "Dont think you are, know you are".

How often do we think we can do it and don't make it. There is a difference between "I think I am in love" and "I know I am in love". You cant think that what I feel is love; when it is love, you will just know it. Those of you who have been there can understand this. The rest will have to wait for that beautiful day. But you may be able to relate to this with something else that happened in your life.
There are things that happen in our lives everyday that we just know. What does not happen is all that we just think about.

Every one of us has that special something within you, that treasure that is bigger and more powerful than anything you can fantasize about and yet we are all lost in a maze, the matrix of life. When you think you are, it is outside of you but when you know it, it is within you and you are the one in control.

When you look beyond you for something, you have to depend on the environment and the outside for support. We have the ability to create, develop and grow something really big but we wait for a creator so we do not have to take the first step because we have no belief in what we hold.

Everything in our life that was created by another man is not someone who is an extra-special creation but someone just like you and me. What do you think that he had that you and I do not have? But we are afraid to explore ourselves to find that special gift within us that can create the extraordinary.

At this point of time, your mind is questioning this and probably saying "I don't really have it". "It is not in me". "I am not one from that special pack". Just ask yourself why?
So you tried and you failed on some attempt at life. Maybe it was not meant for you or someone else's dream or the right thing but you did not give it everything.
Did you stop walking as a child because you fell down not once, twice but many times. You knew you could walk and you wanted to so you walked.

Well now you are saying, it is not a simple as walking. Why not? For a baby who could only crawl, walking was like climbing the everest, maybe? That it is simple or it is complicated, is only in your thinking and only you can change that.

Express your inner strength, build on what you find, and let it serve you and humanity to enrich the world you live in.

If all those people thought like you, we will still be in the dark ages hunting for food. Not that they did not do well, they survived with very little and used only their own abilities to grow our race.

This is not a one time event, a one day affair but something you have to work on everyday to get from where you are to who you really are.
Start with breaking down all those negative patterns that arrest your behavior and jail your thoughts within a very limiting space. Do not blame yourself for any of this because you were conditioned to believe that you have limitations. We are limited by our genes, our birth, our race, our religion, what our parents told us, what are peers show us, what our leaders taught us...

Tear down those walls that do not allow you to be. Build a new foundation, reinvent your structure of who you are, not who you think you are.

It is not as simple as I know "I am a mother", "I am a manager", I am a student. I cant even give you an example because that would limit you with my own thoughts beliefs and experiences. This is only about you, not what the world wants or thinks you are.

You may now say that it cant be me because I have family, duties and responsibilities. Yes you do. This is not about being selfish or acting irresponsibly. This about living completely but harmoniously with yourself and your world. You cannot take away from another one's life to live your own.

Know that you are the special one and in this world anything is possible.
