A piece of cotton when held close to the eye will cover the entire sun. Hold it at a distance and it will only be a piece of cotton. So often you hold certain issue too close to your heart and it blinds you of everything else. Give the issue its rightful place and you will be able to see how blessed you are.
But understand, deep inside the core of earth there is gold and there is rock. As long as they remain within the core of earth there is no difference in their value; it is only when they are excavated from the earth, one gains a higher value over the other. Similarly, there is no difference between one human being and another human being as long as the potential is sleeping within.
Believe in Youself
It is not the outside of a gas balloon but it is the inside of it that takes it to the top and all balloons are made of the same inside stuff. Extending this analogy, it is not the outside of you and me, but it is the inside that takes people to the top and all human beings are made of the same inside stuff.
That morning he was only a barrister. While entering the train he was still a barrister. While the verbal abuse began from those whites in South Africa, because a colored man had entered their compartment, he was still a barrister. While he was being thrown out of the railway compartment in spite of having the lawful ticket to board the train was still a barrister. Lying down on the platform absolutely humiliated, vanquished, and abashed was still a barrister. But then, in a moment it all happened. The Father of the Nation was born out of a Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
The difference between a legend and an also-ran is the difference in the manifestation of the latent potential within them. Every human being is a sleeping volcano. Every human being has within him the seed of greatness. Each one of us has within us an unwritten autobiography. Every history reader can be a history maker.
On an October afternoon a 12 year old black kid from a lower income class family rode his new bicycle to the Columbia Auditorium, Later, when he went back to get it, it had been stolen. Someone told him there was a police officer in the basement, so this ferocious, stormy, perspiring kid went down there and instead of inquiring about bicycle said “Give me the thief, I want to beat him up” , to which the policeman smiling at the innocence of the kid replied “Well, you better learn how to fight before you start challenging people”,
The kid never got his bicycle back, but he instead became the athlete of the century, the greatest, the Mohammed ali, the champion boxer of all time.

Every morning looks similar but it is not. Every moment of life looks similar but it is not. A zillion forces - known, unknown and unknowable, are acting upon this one moment of life and you being present in it with intense awareness will make all the difference.
You never know which day. You never know which moment. It can be this, it can be the next, it can be a decade from now… but it will happen in a moment and it can happen to you, only if you can embrace every moment of your life with intense awareness.
Dreams are like the paints of a great artist. Your dreams are your paints; the world is your canvas. Believing is the brush that converts your dreams into a masterpiece of reality.
There is a hidden meaning in every moment of life.Mohammed Ali once said
“I run on the road, long before I dance under the lights. I hated every minute of training, but I said, don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.”Believe in Youself
