每個人都在創造著自己的生活。擁有自己的生活是你的絕對權利。然而,人們總是否認自己擁有描繪所渴望的生活的能力,他們忽視了這樣一個最根本的真理:決定我們成敗的不是外部環境,而是我們內心深處的自我信念和創造我們最想得到的生活的意願。
顯然,這裡的挑戰是創造和擁有你自己的真實生活。當你開始過著自己的生活,認識到怎樣去營造完全取決於自己時,你就能根據自己的選擇和渴望來設計生活。你會在這裡學到一些東西,比如責任和無限,他們將會指引你打造自己想要的生活。這些啟示將會賦予你打造生活所必需的基本工具。
承擔責任意味著承擔義務,並承認你對環境的影響和你在環境中的角色。它意味著你要對自己的行為負責,並完全接受你的行為所導致的一切後果。
承擔責任將會促使你不斷前進,直到實現更大的目標。我認識一個叫瑪麗的女士,她對自己負責的故事一直鼓舞著我。瑪麗出生在古巴,兩歲時和全家一起搬到邁阿密。他們住在邁阿密最危險的貧困區,那裡每天都充斥著犯罪和吸毒。然而,瑪麗年僅8歲時,就決定打造自己的生活,不走當女僕或在當地做超市收銀員的老路。於是,她每天去上學,有時候不得不跨過門口的醉漢,只有這樣她才能接受教育,過上更好的生活。
瑪麗最終離開了邁阿密,受到了很好的教育,並開發了自身在音樂方面的潛力。她本可以屈從於生來注定的命運,或者一味埋怨她的父母和所處的環境;她也可以拒絕對當前的情形負責。但是,她卻對自己負責,打造了能引以為豪的生活。
責任是成年人的主修課,如果你還沒有學會這堂課,現在還不晚。記住,生活會賜予你足夠多的機會讓你完全學懂。
無限,你最後必須學會的課程是無限,它是一種你去成就自我或創造生活時沒有任何束縛的感覺。當你懂得自己的發展永無止境、潛能無窮無盡時,便學會了這門課。
你生下來便知道自己的潛能。可是,當你長大成為社會中的一員,你可能會開始相信,有太多的限定阻礙你實現最高的精神、情感或智力進展。然而,限定只存於你的心裡。當你能超越他們的時候,你就學會了無限這一課。
我孩提時的一位老師深諳無限的重要性。她每天都提醒我們,無論多麼艱難,只要用心,我們就能成就任何事。我衷心地希望世界上的每一個學校都有一位像卡波恩夫人這樣的老師,那樣,我們的孩子就能知道自身的潛力,並努力去挖掘。世界上,無數的人都證明了這個道理:世上無難事,只怕有心人。
