The mountain goat

Sometimes, we come to a point in our life where our dreams seem insurmountable or 'reasonably' impossible. We drop it as soon as we see a big wall. We have undervalued and under estimated the power of imagination and intention. Guglielmo Marconi, was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer known for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission and for his development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. He was referred to an asylum when he proposed the possibility of communication without wires. The world lives by reference, lack of which scares the conditioned mind.  

We have been conditioned to think in terms of 'labels'. Good - bad, right - wrong, light -  dark, beginning - ending, far - near, possible - impossible. The moment we begin labeling we limit all other possibilities. We are 'conditioned' beings. It is easy for us to live our lives without questioning and the easiest way to do so is to believe whatever is being said. 

As Galileo Galilei rightly quoted: 

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." 

  

I strongly urge you to reason that little nudge/intuition that has been tapping on your shoulders silently asking you to take the hint. We never question the laws of science the moment it is labeled. Look through the eyes of a child, give her a paper and it becomes a ball, a plane and there is an unlimited possibility of what it could become. Set aside the urge to labeling things in your life, look at what else you can do with any given situation or problem. 

As Albert Einstein says:

"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." 

Now remember that there is a reason why you held on to that dream for so long. Whatever the mind can think is actually a possibility waiting to happen. Time and Space are labels for our understanding and not for limiting our lives. Every limitation that has been set deep within us has been set by people (parents, teachers and the society as a whole) who didn't even realize they were limiting the world's most powerful force - a infinite intelligence.

When a mountain goat sees a wall, it climbs it because the 'intention' to climb is clear. To the mountain goat the wall is no different than the earth it walks. It does gravity-defying feats without a second thought. Look with the eyes of a mountain goat and everything will seem possible.
