Welcome.
Before we begin,
Place a paper and pen beside you.
Now,
Close your eyes,
Take a deep breath in,
In,
In,
And slowly exhale,
Exhale,
Exhale.
This life you have,
It's a gift,
A rare,
Beautiful unfolding of possibility.
And yet,
Why do we hesitate?
Why do we doubt our own brilliance?
Psychologist William James spoke of a restricted circle of potential,
An invisible circle we create in our minds,
An invisible boundary we create in our minds.
Try to see it in your mind now,
A circle inside.
Can you see it?
A small circle.
We assume we can only achieve what fits within this circle.
Anything outside it,
Anything unfamiliar,
Feels out of reach.
But this circle isn't real.
You have always been greater than you believe.
Right now,
In this moment,
We begin to break this restricted circle.
Gently open your eyes.
Pick up your pen.
Write down one achievement from your life.
Anything that once made you feel proud.
It's about what you consider an achievement,
Not the others.
Maybe it was preparing a Christmas meal filled with love.
Or maybe it was building a volcano for a science fair in grade five.
Write it down.
Something,
Anything that reminds you,
I did that.
Once you've written it,
Put the pen down.
Now close your eyes again.
Breathe in,
In,
In.
Breathe out,
Out,
And out.
What you've written is your statement of achievement.
It is a proof that you are capable,
That you have been capable all along.
The next time self-doubt whispers in your ear or in your heart,
Pick up this paper,
Open this paper,
Read the statement of achievement aloud.
Let it echo in your heart.
You had potential then.
You have potential now.
You have potential today.
Are you willing to trust your heart,
Your efforts,
Your light?
Because nothing is stopping you but that imaginary circle.
Expand it.
Stretch it so wide,
So limitless that it no longer fits inside your head.
Every month,
Write a new statement of achievement.
And every time doubt whispers in your heart or in your ear,
Read that statement of achievement aloud.
I could do that.
I did that.
Yes.
Whatever I'm trying today,
I can even do that.
Let the circle of doubt dissolve into the vastness of your true potential.
You are limitless.
You have wide,
Beautiful eyes.
And now you allow and invite yourself to live it fully with confidence.
Thank you for doing this meditation with me.
Whenever you are ready,
Gently open your eyes and keep this paper trendy,
Maybe in your wallet,
Maybe in your pocket.
It's a big reminder that you have all the potential with you even today.
