“Will you be the rock that redirects the course of the river?” It’s a quote I found made by Claire Nuer. The reason I think this resonated with me is because I was also listening to Discovery Series this week and one of the Luminaries was discussing the power of water. We could take a big bat and hit the water so hard, but with no success and a sore arm is probably the only result that would result. The water is simply temporarily disturbed and flows back in the direction of your choice without acknowledging it. The power of water is tremendous individually. The true strength of water is that we can harness power, but never control it.

If we could harness the power that we have within us, we would be more phenomenal. The secret of our success lies deep within us, asleep. The wonderful thing about something being inactive is that it has the potential to come to life. One of the best ways to access it is through self-empowerment and personal development. The limiting beliefs that we have will not go away without learning new skills and knowledge. The belief system that we live our daily lives by comes from years of negative conditioning. We must systematically search within ourselves and reverse this state of being. It is never too late to make that transformation. The most influential people in the world always credit personal development as the reason for their success. We can choose to be the rock that redirects the direction of our lives or to keep watching the water return to its original state as if our brief interference from its path had not interrupted it.
