The waves of change
"Don't want to cause waves." Someone said that to me the other day.. However. those who are extremely successful are so because they do cause waves.
Einstein, Martin Luther King, Oprah, President Lincoln, Columbus, Edison I could go on forever.
Each of these people had vision, a purpose and they pursued their beliefs, regardless of the cost.

Thomas Edison BELIEVED he could discover a way to create light. He invented the light bulb in order to do this. It took him over 2000 different attempts before he found one that worked. That's dedication, persistence and most of all BELIEF in his dream.
I say, "Move towards your dreams and purpose and don't worry about causing waves."
For many it’s unnatural. We’re taught from infancy to sit down, be quiet, don’t upset mother, do what your teacher says, fit in with everyone else. After years of this type of brainwashing it’s not easy to step out and do something different, or innovative. We tend to fall back into the patterns we’ve always followed. We think that causing any waves would be disastrous, we might be engulfed by at tsunami. Maybe a tsunami is just what we need.
Changing anything in our lives requires we make a shift in our thinking and our behaving. We must step out and do something different, something perhaps we’ve never done before. It take courage. It takes determination.
We hear so often the phase “the sky’s the limit”. It’s spoken of in motivational materials. My belief is: The sky's not the limit, there is no limit except our own limited thinking.
We can do whatever we want to do. We can be whatever want to be and we can create success in any area of our lives as long as we’re willing to CHANGE, to do something different, to follow our own instincts.

If we truly want to accomplish something, we must believe that we can and we must be willing to make the changes necessary.
