Perspective = Wisdom

Wisdom | The Abilities

Wisdom | The Abilities
It is impossible to align the stars with different telescopes on the universe. You have to look through the same lenses to see another’s reality. The one who can see many realities is the one who is wise. The wise are able to offer sage advice.

William Shakespeare wrote, “A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.” If you are wise, you will find yourself asking a lot of questions. This is because wisdom is relativity, and everything is relative. Everything has an impact and every impact has something to impact.

There is a lot of wisdom that derives from helping others. They say the best way to learn is to teach. The reason for this is because if you teach, you put yourself into the perspective of another. This helps you think like others and their motives by internalizing their consciousness. If you stay stuck in your own mental realm you will never be able to fully understand or reach others. You may not agree with everything they do and think about, but at least you have empathy and sympathy, enabling you to make rational decisions for the greater good.

Drive

Drive - The Abilities | J Reese Lasley

Drive - The Abilities | J Reese Lasley
To draw an analogy, faith, hope and love are like driving a vehicle. In order for that car to get to where it needs to go, you need to start the car, put it in gear and give it the energy source to move such a large mass. There are a lot of mechanisms that need to work together to get that car to move, but without the gas there is no movement, no power. As the car accelerates, more power is needed. There also are more risks and dangers along the way. You will face many dynamic forces. There are speed bumps, signs to different places, other people driving, weather and so forth. Life happens. You need to work with these things and use proper driving techniques to accomplish your goal. If you don’t have enough gas you won’t get there. You need to find the gas stations along the way to refuel your purpose and mission.

Ultimately, if you are able to keep driving, you get to where you want to go. When you look back you realize that love was the reason to go somewhere. Your faith and hope helped you figure it out. Without faith, hope and love, you wouldn’t have gotten there.

So, what drives you? What keeps you going? What got you going in the first place? What is your fuel, your source of power? What helps you overcome? Where are you going and why are you going there?

What do your dreams consist of?

Dream Big | The Abilities J Reese Lasley

Dream Big | The Abilities J Reese Lasley
How big are your dreams? How far is your reach? How are you influencing your reality? How are you affecting your and others’ quality of life? What impression are you making on others? What are you improving? How are you helping? Is it worthwhile? Do you provide value? Are your dreams meaningful? What will you leave behind? How will people remember you? Do you consider yourself successful? Are you auspicious? What is your mark on the world? You need to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it and believe that you deserve it. Your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them. Let your choices be driven by your hopes, not your fears; you should day-dream and not live in night-mares.

Overcome the opposing forces

Overcome Adversity | J Reese Lasley - The Abilities

Overcome Adversity | J Reese Lasley - The AbilitiesOf the most admirable traits that anyone can have is the ability to overcome. Overcoming your fears, overcoming your pain, overcoming your weaknesses, overcoming your shortcomings. These make you stronger.

You have a choice to defeat adversity, or let adversity defeat you. You see, it is not the obstacle, or trial, or tribulation, or hardship, or setback, or challenge that determines your character. It’s how you handle it — and move forward — that determines your character.

Create yourself

Create Yourself | The AbilitiesYour mindset determines your creative ability. Having an opportunistic mindset through envisioning will help you realize your resources and opportunity at hand. One thought can trigger a series of subsequent thoughts, culminating in a plethora of ideas. Thoughts become things. If your mind is in the right frequency to accept opportunity and you are constantly thinking positive thoughts about what you want, you are more likely to achieve whatever you are thinking about. This plays a huge part in the creative process.

It is amazing when people create, take action to execute their hopes and dreams, and strive for what they really want out of life. The people who actually take that chance are the ones finding their true potential. Those who don’t, just live to get by. If you live for purpose, however, you will be one of those who finds success.
