what is the Difference

Yesterday I read an article by Will Smith discussing his first time he met Tyler Perry. In the article he stated that the two men had a kindred spirit that was so powerful that neither one of them could explain the excitement from just communicating with one another but nevertheless the emotions he felt were to powerful to put into words, later that night he realized what made the two men connect; they both didn't realize the couldn't fly. Neither men felt any limitation on what they felt like they could do in their lives once they put their mind at task
I know what you are thinking...huh? Will Smith is an example of person who has not allowed himself to stoped by boundaries, most importantly the boundaries in his mind. Oprah Winfrey has said in many interviews that she has always known she was destined for greatness, Lena Horne has stated that at the height of her career the most popular 'paying' roles where those of a maid or slut but she refused to accept them because that was not her craft. Paul Robinson knew he had a voice that was like no other but realized at an early age of his career that he didn't only want to hear it inside of a church building. Alexander the Great looked out upon a map and realized that the land he wanted to conquer was great and had never been conquered before yet he knew he couldn't be stoped, so I ask you what is the difference between me or us and them? The power of the mind, the power to not limit yourself, the power to over look what what you see visually but go after what you see mentally. The next big question is what is your gift, each person I have stated above observed to know what their gift was, they seem to have known what they wanted to do from day one. I have not always known, I cannot honestly say I woke up and THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO AND WORLD HERE I COME. I am not even sure the direction my talent would be the most useful but I am sure that understand the direction of my destiny is not my part of my destiny that I should be concerned with, GOD will be my guide. The part of my destiny that is important is that I release myself from my own boundaries, from what I see that is in front that I feel might hinder me and doing so began to of believe in myself. For some of us it is easy to say what GOD will do because it take the pressure off of any work, mentally or physically of what we must do ourselves, what we will be accountable for in order to take in charge of in our lives.
I don't believe we are all destined to be Oprah unless you want to be but I am a true believer that our task, our contribution to life, fulfillment is no less important than any other person on this earth. Once again it takes all kinds of people to make up GOD's earth.
