Many of us fail in fields of activity in which we feel confident, but one day we unexpectedly succeed in a domain in which we had no idea we were good at.

Every individual is a source of unknown and unfulfilled possibilities.

We don’t have to live with ideas like “that’s all I can do and this is who I am” or “this is what I know, this is what I do”, we can definitely do more than we realize; all we need is a little more confidence and the will to surpass ourselves.

Many years ago, three pairs of breeding rabbits were taken to Australia. Today, there are millions, so many that they were declared as pests on a national level. The authorities have put up wire fences many kilometers long in order to stop them from invading the crop fields. As time passed, the rabbits evolved and now they have a claw that allows them to climb on the fences or go under them so that they can reach the fields that provide them with food. In their fight for survival they developed naturally the physical ability to overcome the obstacles.

The conclusion I want to draw from this story is that you must never let yourself get beaten only because your powers seem limited; you have to want more and do everything to achieve your goal. Learn, evolve, surpass yourself, have the desire to be the best.

I’m not saying it’s easy to surpass yourself, but once you’ve set a goal don’t be afraid of the fact that it’s hard to achieve it. Try to imagine that the thing you want is situated at the top a tall tower and the only way up is a spiral staircase so steep that when you walk on it you can only see one step at a time. But with every step you climb, the next one comes into view and so you climb step after step until you reach the top.

Dean Briggs – Harvard said: “Do your job. Not just what you have to do, but a little more, for the sake of giving. Even if you suffer, and you will surely suffer, do your job.  From your work and suffering, life’s greatest joys will rise.”
