((((( FOOTPRINTS ON DRIVE TIME ))))) “A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.” - James Allen, As A Man Thinketh This afternoon, I share with you the story of George Dantzig… He is has contributed enormously toward the development of mathematics in the world… As a college student, George studied very hard and always late into the night. So late that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two math problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignment. It took him several days to work through the two problems, but finally he had a breakthrough and dropped the homework on the professors desk the next day. Later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadnt heard the professor announced that the two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind teasers that even Einstein hadnt been able to answer. But George Dantzig, working without any thoughts of limitation, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumped mathematicians for thousands of years. Simply put, George solved the problems because he didnt know he couldnt. Bob Proctor, a consultant, author, lecturer, and motivational speaker who has been at the forefront of personal development for decades says “keep reminding yourself that you have tremendous reservoirs of potential within you, and therefore you are quite capable of doing anything you set your mind to. All you must do is figure out how you can do it, not whether or not you can. And once you have made your mind up to do it, its amazing how your mind begins to figure out how.” What are you allowing your mind to tell you as you have began a new week?
