I will use the story of Tony to explain what MindOut is all about. Tony had a car accident some years back and after the accident his two legs got paralyzed, which means he has to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He got a nice wheelchair and he is used to moving around with it, without much restrains. He is now happy and grateful, at least, for life. And now Tony tries to socialize and he got to know about the popular azonto dance, which is now the craze among the young ones. He watched a lot of videos about the dance and he really thinks that he can dance it. He would try to move his hands and the rest of the body like the other azonto dancers, but unfortunately the legs are inevitable in the dance. Poor Tony! He wishes that someone would invent for an incapacitated guy like him.
We humans are sometimes incapacitated to carry the intent of our minds and we say we are somewhat limited in our abilities to do things. Actually, a lot of people hold on to this fact and they never get anything done all the days of their lives. But the truth is that if Tony is so keen on dancing azonto, he could invent the azonto wheelchair dance. It is not an impossibility; we've seen wheelchair dancing on Britain's got talent and other TV talent shows. There is no limitation that life can impose on man that he cannot surmount neither is there a mountain that is too high, that you cannot climb. Like Tony, "I wish I could" is the most favorite phrase of some people and I don't know what world wishes are horses, at least, not in our present world.
Wake up! Wake up from the dream world and come alive to our present world, where things work by action, hardwork and determination. Our world works based on the principle of what you give in is what you get. If all you give to life are only wishes in your mind, likewise, your results would in your head: fulfilled dreams in your dreams, imaginary height attained, and a life well spent all in your head. What kind of life is that? It is a life of disappointment, failure, regret and a sympathetic life.
The truth is that ignorance of our capabilities results into an incapacitated life. Anyone, who gives limitations as excuses, doesn't know himself and what he can do. In order word, he hasn't found himself. The journey to finding oneself is an inward journey to find potentials, possibilities and capabilities. Look inwards, think, meditate and find what you can do. You will, then, be able to go from just wishing to doing.
The world is waiting for a lot of young people like Tony who are ready to push beyond the limit of their incapabilities and then going into the level of possibilities, inventing and attaining greater height. Don't let that dream just stay in your head, get it out and make it a reality.
