What is our biggest Hold Back?

We are born with a great responsibility and the need to lean into our greatness. Sometimes we win, and other times we fall short on our path to greatness. Perhaps life’s biggest question is not just who we actually are, but what our world means to us. Born with nothing to fall back on, we are destined to rewrite every new story that our lives are meant to give to the world.

Our fear of watching our own transformation of standing fully in our history and awakening our true destiny is the greatest question we will ever face. When our lives seem to be falling apart and our dreams are left struggling to survive, how do we challenge the current reality? How do we write the story of the future we are destined for? The answer lies in the courage of our dreams and the scale of our impact.

What if the fear in our eyes is not a fear of ourselves, but a fear of what becomes of our survival if things go wrong? We often find ourselves with nothing to fall back on, leaving us no choice but to pour everything we have into our dreams until we win. If our questions have yet to align with our true path, what then becomes of the lives we are meant to lead? There is no fear born within us; there is only the fear of what happens when our plans go awry.

Our perspective determines how we face reality. When we limit our goals to a single direction, we limit the size of our dreams. But when we aim for a global reach, we tap into a limitless ability to rewrite our stories and realize our greatest potential.

No matter how we run around chasing what our dreams or lives need, we are just consumers, not contributors. Our greatest responsibility in times of the unknown or when we are unknown is to make an impact, and we will be amazed by how many networks are part of those little impacts. Our greatest advantage is to recognize what not to search for. And what we know and are good at is the greatest impact we hold to serve anywhere in our lives and world, to make an impact and be recognized for it.

Sometimes we think the network we need is extra, or so well-connected, or the most valuable aspect of our dreams, only to realize most of their strategies are built on past events, struggling to survive in a changing, dynamic world. When we take time for ourselves and refine what we know, we illuminate every change within a dynamic world. When what we know is dynamic and adaptable, we give our dreams and our understanding of the world unlimited reach.

Everywhere we look, there are needs for what we know, whether China seeking a semiconductor engineering breakthrough, the USA looking for a model to bring back manufacturing, Africa restructuring itself to benefit from global tensions, or Europe searching for better energy solutions. These needs exist because it’s from what we know that new models, breakthroughs, and systems develop. We must make what we know adaptable, so when opportunity comes, we can be part of those breakthroughs.
