Only You Can Stop You.

Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you’ll find is that you can overcome anything.”Author: Anonymous

Like the zodiac signs, the punctuation signs hold a lot of symbolic meanings to our lives and growth in the workplace. It’s a mixture of strong and weak values.

 However, two of the negatives that hold significant meaning to success in the workplace and in our daily lives are the full stop and the bracket.

In the laws of punctuation, the full stop is otherwise referred to as the “dot”. Yet, this minute symbol portends a lot. It means a limitation to the continuance of something, a limitation to something.

 Brackets as noted by the Wikipedia are “tall punctuation marks used in matched pairs within text, to set apart or interject other text”, meaning to bound on both sides, to surround by enclosing.

 Unconsciously, many of us put a stop to many things in our life where extraordinary goals can be achieved by just trying hard to put the extra to the ordinary. We consciously or unconsciously build walls and limitations to our full potentials.

The bible asserts, “As a man thinks, so he is”.

The only limitations are the ones we create. The way forward is to see every problem as a challenge; every stumbling block as a stepping stone. All we need to achieve this is a positive viewpoint. As individuals, we should strive to overcome limitations by moving to see, think and prosper outside the box in the workplace or in everything we do.

 Limitations are only invisible walls we build around ourselves that gives us a false sense of orderliness, comfort and security. We must get out of our comfort zone because that’s the link to achievement. Explore your full potentials. Push against the wall and you shall walk through it.

The only thing that can stop you is YOU.
