I also believe that the fearful voice can be so loud in our heads sometimes that we can't hear the greatness.<BR/><BR/>Feeling powerless is scary but I also believe that there are some things we simply have to let go of and realize that we are powerless over. When I feel this way, I'm giving over the huge Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569351612820181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-8685022556438669112008-10-05T19:51:00.000-07:002008-10-05T19:51:00.000-07:00I agree, Rick, that we all have greatness in us.

I don't think that we can be wrong in our acknowledgment over it, either. <BR/><BR/>I think that the quote was more implying that we could overreach for our abilities...like, say, if I tried to compete in the Olympics or the Mrs. America beauty pageant. But I don't think that would be a bad thing, either, to have a dream and then to fail to reach Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-82433627715936470822008-10-05T19:46:00.000-07:002008-10-05T19:46:00.000-07:00yertle, I do believe that there is greatness in yo...yertle, I do believe that there is greatness in your heart. And in your ability to be present and loving others. Sending positive thoughts, prayers, caring, and good energy their way. <BR/><BR/>I disagree with the idea that we are entirely limitless and can create/control everything in life. But I do think that we can have great, great influence.

We can certainly be wrong in how we pursue it, but we can never be wrong in our acknowledgment of it. The question then becomes moot.<BR/><BR/>Powerlessness is, for me, the very same myth as my impression in my dreams that I can fly. I cannot be either powerless or airborne.

Powerlessness is a horrible feeling and I think we have all felt that way at one time or another. Not knowing I could be great and still do great things is so more empowering in itself,<BR/><BR/>KateKate Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369818854597534304noreply@blogger.com
