Hitch Your Wagon . . . Realize Your True Potential
Posted By Denise on May 31, 2009
“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.” Barack Obama
When I came across this quote, I wondered how many people really heard those words and what they truly meant. As many of you have recently heard, be it in various ways, many, many, too many, have shown themselves to be extremely greedy individuals focused only on themselves and the almighty buck. In my opinion, they lacked not only motivation, but suffered from very low self-esteem; very selfish indeed. With that being said, I am confident they will answer for this in one form or another. Whether it be within the legal system or at the end of their days, I would like to believe they will have to explain themselves. Until then, those who have been caught so far, not only should feel great shame, but I would think they are no longer feeling and living in comfort within themselves. In that regard, they are paying or explaining, depending on your viewpoint.
As for focusing your attention and intentions on something larger, greater than yourself, this is where you can blossom. You can realize more of your true potentional. You can be your creative self, feel better about yourself, having peace. If you were inclined to make a list, there is no doubt the list would be endless as to what you would feel and what you would have and will continue to accomplish. One reason I believe this is that when you’re focused on someone or something other than yourself, you tend to let your own issues go to the back burner. Not always, but often times, you’ll find that those problems aren’t really that significant when you look around. You discover the more you think about a problem, it becomes worse and worse until you just want to explode sometimes. However, put your attention outside of yourself and you find it wasn’t as bad as you had initially thought, or a solution at some level makes its appearance known to you.
In the end, after all is said and done; what matters isn’t the money, it isn’t how much or how many material things you’ve accumulated, or the title you hold. What matters is how you conducted yourself as part of the human race and how many hearts you touched along your life’s path.
Focus your attention on helping someone out, or volunteering in an organization you feel good about or believe in, help out at a senior citizen center, contribute a little time at a school, find a ’cause’ and pitch in. You may even find that you have a talent at something that you didn’t realize you even had and because it contributes to humanity, it makes it even more rewarding in and of itself. Pay a little extra attention and watch how your body even responds, how you feel deep down within, and pay attention to the little changes you begin to see and feel; it’ll be for the positive. Eventually, you will have a peacefullness overcome you. A very ‘feel good feeling.’
