Thomas Edison
Capability

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman, who has been described as America's greatest inventor. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park", he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.

Here's a guy most of us have heard of.

Quite a few inventions have been credited to him.

Well, he said something about human capabilities that I thoroughly enjoy.

"If we all did the things we are capable of doing
we would literally astound ourselves."

We are all capable of more than what we are doing.

So much more!

You are capable of so much more!

Whether you believe it or not, you hold the key!

Many of us believe that we need to limit our abilities by thinking that we cannot do things.

I'm not smart enough, strong enough or beautiful enough.

I didn't come from the right neighborhood or family.

Let me tell you something...

The people in this world that have done memorable things had the very same 24 hours in a day that you do.

They have the same flesh and bone and the same ability to think.

Many may even had less.

The only thing holding you back is you!

Believe in yourself, even if you think you don't have a reason to and you will soon surprise yourself!

Because you are capable of doing great things!

Wonderful things!

Awe inspiring things!

If you are reading this right now and just said to yourself something like, "I can't do that because...".

Then let me introduce you to someone.

This person can solve all of your problems and give you all the confidence you need to tackle the most unbelievable tasks.

Now go look in the mirror.

The person I want to introduce you to is you!

You are the one that is capable of solving your problems, boosting your confidence and accomplishing unbelievable things!

Repeated Thought = Belief
Repeated Belief = Knowledge
Knowledge builds confidence.

Think you can long enough and you will believe you can.

Believe you can long enough and you will know you can.

Know you can and you will!

Remember:

"If we all did the things we are capable of doing
we would literally astound ourselves."
