Open your tool belt

The attainment of knowledge put’s one in position to achieve.

It is the effective use of that knowledge that brings about the power necessary to move from conceptualization to realization.

Everyone has within them the tools to build a bridge spanning from their current state to their potential state. It simply requires reaching within oneself and making good use of what you have.

Let’s open that tool belt together

In that tool bet exists three extremely powerful tools.

• Your mind
• Your words
• Your spirit

If used correctly these tools will well assist you in constructing a foundation for success that can withstand the raging storms of life.

These tools will provide you with the wisdom needed to make the right decisions, at the right time, unlocking unfathomable potentialities.

A beginner’s guide to your tool belt

Seek and you shall find  (Use your mind)

Don’t neglect your mind.

Like all things, the mind too grows weak when not used.

Exercise your brain just as you would your body.

When a muscle is not used it shrinks (atrophy). If not used for long periods of time the muscles will become too weak to sustain activity.

When we learn new things, or  take on new challenges we strengthen our mental muscles.

We build greater and stronger synaptic connections  and our neurotransmitters fire at greater speeds.

“The more signals sent between two neurons, the stronger the connection grows and so, with each new experience and each remembered event or fact, the brain slightly re-wires its physical structure.”- Luke Mastin

“The efficacy of synaptic transmission is not constant; it varies depending upon the frequency of stimulation. It is very difficult to overestimate the importance of synaptic transmission. It is critical to the basic functioning of the nervous system and appears to be critical in learning and memory.” –University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston

We  can increase our potentiality.

With increase of potential comes an increase in possibilities for greater opportunities to succeed.

Maintain a discoverers mind.  

Never tire of the search for knowledge.

Consume all that you can concerning your path. We can not grow beyond that which we know.

Our knowledge is the vehicle that drives us from “A” to  where we want to “Be.” Trying to transverse continents of possibilities with out a vehicle (knowledge) would take an eternity.

Many who find themselves in this situation, often look back and say if I had known then what I know now then my life would be an entirely different thing.

Such is inexcusable.

One’s existence should never culminate to this’ ” should’ve, could’ve, would’ve now I can’t so ( I ain’t) or will not.”

We have access to everything we need.

We simply need to seek

Ask and it shall be given  (Use your words)

Inquiry is everything.

Never be afraid to ask questions.

This is how we learn.

The only silly question is one that is never asked.

Most will not volunteer information to you.

Failure to ask questions will make your trek a long and laborious one.

People who fall in this category often run head first into obstacle after obstacle before getting it right.

The path’s have already been paved.

The maps have already been drawn.

You simply need to ask for directions.

If you want something ask for it.

Don’t be ashamed.

There are few mind readers, if any, that exist among us. No one is aware of what you desire. You must make it known.

Nothing is worse than having a dream locked deep inside you, a potential for great things,  and you throw away the key.

Ask and it shall be given.

Knock and it shall be opened unto you  (Use your spirit energy)

Nurture the spirit of perseverance.

Realize there is something out there for you.

Behind some door, somewhere, you will find that thing, with your name on it, that was meant for only you.

It will not come to you.

You have to seek for it.

Some may have to knock on a lot of doors before one of them opens.

One thing is certain no one will open the door unless you knock.

Knock hard and knock often until you find the right door.

When people close the door in your face, step back realize its okay because what was behind that door was not meant for you anyway.

Keep moving and keep knocking until things change.

Use every tool that you have at your disposal to build a bridge to the attainment of everything that exists for you to succeed.
