If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. - Thomas Alva Edison I think this is so true. I haven't done all I could...have you? xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi raydene! I could say that when I was so much younger, I am astounding. I have done all I am expected to do and even surprise so many that I can do so much more. However, as I got older those astounding moments are a thing of the past and I have been limiting myself in so many aspects in my life. I don't know why I can't free myself from the shadows of pain and hurt most of the time..I guess, my share of frustrations and failures have somehow made me more cautious and kinda coward to do now all that I could. Maybe, in time I will learn to fly again and rediscover again my capabilities for I know I have so much more inside me. Take care and God Bless!

I haven't done half the things that I am capable of and thats mainly because I haven't got the confidence, if I had that then boy would I be doing sooooo much, shame I am missing out on so much, so many adventures, so many people, so many things I could be doing or have done but I just lack confidence that is my main trouble, I wish I was capable of doing much much more in my life. The more you do the more you achieve, learn, experience and become a much stronger person.

I have been told we only use about 10% of what our brains are capable of doing. We are able to do quite a bit with the use of 10%. Now if we were to use the other 90%, what do you think we would be capable of?

But we are only human, we dream and we believe but sometimes we did not survived it. Because sometimes there are things that are not for us. Like you , i haven't done all I could, but I am trying my best to have what i want, but still give prioritize for the things that i really needed rather than wants. I just pray to God that he will gave me a magical thinking to find out what i really needed that What i want.
