Stop trying to fit into places that are
TOO SMALL
By Darieth Chisolm
S
top trying to fit into spaces and places too small for your greatness. Your
playing small is not serving you. It’s
time to get onto the stage of life, pull
back the curtain, and show the world
what you are made of. If you have been
hiding and shrinking, you are giving
your power away, the power that is available to create
the kind of life you are dreaming of. We have all been
blessed with the innate ability to dream big. We often
let fears and doubts get in the way of accomplishing
whatever we are dreaming about. We each possess
unique talents and gifts that, when tapped into, become the source for which we need to make our dreams
come true.
There are so many ways to expand your greatness and
express what you are good at. Often you can become
an expert at your passion in a field or area or industry
waiting for a new-comer like you. You could be just the
person with a fresh approach that others are looking
for. You might be the neophyte who has a unique idea
or different way of doing things that changes the way
an entire industry functions. It’s time to stop hiding,
and play all out, and unleash your passions.
The world needs that special thing that you have, that
could be the catalyst for bettering the lives of others.
You don’t have to be Mother Teresa, Gandhi, or the
next best-selling author. Really impacting other people’s
lives is about choosing to be more, choosing to have
more, and choosing to do more for those you serve.
Helen Keller lost her hearing and sight as a toddler
after becoming ill, the most un-unimaginable situation
for a child and a family. As we all know, she became a
great woman, a world-renowned author, speaker, and
social activists in spite of her blindness and being deaf.
What’s stopping you?
We often use any excuse to stop us, some of them so
lame and ridiculous. We forget just how fortunate we
really are, and yet we are quick to worry and complain
and be held back by the smallest things. It is said that
Helen Keller not only accomplished those great things
in spite of her handicap because she was focused on “a
great worthy purpose”. In other words, she made her
mission all about serving others, and her purpose drove
her past her limitations. I want you to know just how
blessed you really are. You likely face lesser challenges
than Helen Keller, and look at what she achieved with
one passion, one mission, when she stopped trying to
fit into spaces and places that were too small for her
greatness.
