MAXIMIZE YOUR LIFE (IV)

To maximize means to deliver up to capacity on something. A maximized life is one delivering its full potential and capacity at every point in time. Right now, there is ideally no person with a fully maximized life. He or she can only be maximizing life. Do not get me wrong, I know there are people with amazing lifestyles, awestrucking innovations in our world. They can be rich or average, strong or weak, black or white yet the truth is no matter the point they have reached in their journey, there is always a next step. Humanity is yet to experience the best that mankind can ever produce. That point where we think it is over may just be the point where it all begins.

In the late 50s a scientist was quoted in an American daily to have predicted that by the end of the 20^th century, the computers of the 21^st century will be small enough such that it is only a standard bedroom that can contain it. Wow! What a humble prediction. The scientist from all indications believed that man had no ability whatsoever to come up with portable devices working as computers. But I really wish he was around today to learn one vital lesson of life – DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE CREATIVE POWER OF MAN. Today, I guess he will be shocked to see that we now have notebooks, tablets, smartphones and many other multipurpose devices. The only failing of this scientist was that he thought to himself we have seen it all. It can never get any better; that was his biggest failure.

In the early 2000 a track and field analyst and journalist said categorically that the kind of records that athletes were currently holding, it may become nearly impossible to find athletes anywhere in the world who can break such records again.  Well, I am sure he didn’t have to wait too long to discover the man called Usain Bolt of Jamaica, the young sprinter who braced into limelight in 2009 by beating Tyson Gay and earning a current world record of 9.58 seconds. The greatest failing of this sprint analyst was that he thought to himself, “we have seen it all.” It can never get any better, how on earth can mortal men break such records without enhancements and banned substances? Well, he didn’t have to wait too long before the record breaker showed up.

You see, at that point where we feel that all is done, maybe we should just get ready for a surprise. Stop packing your bags, because what lies ahead of us and what lies behind are nothing compared to what lies within us. Please maximize your life!

Man has not seen the best of mankind yet, there are still many records to be broken in the world generally. Remember, never underestimate the creative power that the creator has put inside man. You have the ability to solve more problems than you are doing right now.
