We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are.

We mistakenly believe that who we were is who we are, thus limiting our true potential in the present, based on the limitations of our past.

¡Qué poco sabemos de lo que somos!
¡Como menos lo que podemos ser!

We ain't what we oughta be. We ain't what we want to be. We ain't what we gonna be. But, thank God, we ain't what we was.

We forget that people can change, including our own people; including ourselves.

We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.

We fail to trust that we knew ourselves to be possible from the beginning.

I believe we forget who we are over time, and in our state of forgetfulness we struggle and employ all kinds of learned behaviors that don't necessarily help us or bring us happiness. Each of us has a self that exists undamaged and whole, from the moment we are born waiting to be reclaimed.

We let what we know limit what we can imagine; the result, a failure of imagination.

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

All that we refer to as being ours – our body, our mind, our emotions – is not what we are, essentially.

To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.

We are not what happened to us,
we are what we wish to become.

In our endeavors to recall to memory something long forgotten, we often find ourselves upon the very verge of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember.
