Pat Mesiti – Soaring Higher Pat Mesiti International Motivational Speaker gives you principles to soar higher!
‘See everything, overlook a great deal, and prove a little’ - Pope John Paul II One of the life skills we need is the ability to be observant without being fault-finding. We need to be able to notice things and yet at the same time able to overlook a great deal of what we see. Why? Because some of what we see could be discouraging. Sometimes you see people getting away with wrongs and misdemeanours. Often you see people doing things you find offensive. You see injustices. Perhaps you see a serious fault in others, but you’re blind to that same fault in yourself. Maybe you see someone who becomes successful without really trying, while all your hardest endeavours reap little reward. If that’s you, you may be very observant, but now you need to overlook. You need to overlook situations that can cause you to become disenfranchised or disheartened. Overlook other people's failures, but deal with your own. Lesson No. 3’s quote says ‘See everything, overlook a great deal, and prove a little.’ So often in life we struggle and strive to prove. I know I did that. Growing up as a child, alcohol ruled our home. This caused me to want to prove to others and to myself that I was better. Perhaps like me you have been on a performance treadmill where you are constantly striving and proving rather than resting in being. My friends, you are who you are. You do not have to prove anything to anyone. Instead, rest assured in the security that you are a human being with dignity, value and self-respect. You are a success, not a mistake. You can accomplish great things. All of us need to understand that greatness is within us. When we are convinced of this truth, we stop trying to prove our greatness to everybody else. We stop comparing ourselves to others and finding fault either in ourselves or them. We begin to overlook rather than criticise. Challenge If you want to learn one of the great lessons of life learn to see and enjoy everything, overlook a great deal in others, and stop trying to prove yourself. Just be the person you were created to be.
