We’re born with the capacity to excel.

We’re born with the capacity for greatness.

Each and every one of us.

So what goes wrong?

Our parents aren’t attentive enough?

We went to the wrong school?

Our teachers weren’t enthusiastic?

We were driven down a certain path.

We wanted to hang out with our friends.

Our colleagues held us back.

Our boss forced us down.

It’s not me, it’s the world.

Bull. Shit.

Not only are we born with the capacity, it remains inherent to us throughout our lives.

In us is the spark, the raw talent, the latent possibility to be better than we could imagine even in our wildest dreams.

And my dreams are pretty wild.

For every time you feel your self saying I can’t, say I will.

For every time you find yourself whining about your lot, flip it around and turn it into an opportunity to change your world for the better.

Don’t accept negativity, don’t accept the status quo.

Don’t accept mediocrity.

Thrive on the ambiguous, enjoy the chaotic, travel beyond.

Be you at your best.

Always.

Be peak.

About me: Citizen of the World. I love writing, photography, travelling, reading, learning and growing. Medium is another journey in my life, let’s see what sights we may see.
