MESSAGE #901 - HOW TO BE THE NEXT WILLIAM JAMES

Most people
live,
whether
physically,
intellectually,
or
morally,
in a very
restricted circle
of their
potential being.
They
make use of
a very small portion
of their
possible consciousness,
and
of their
soul’s resources
in general,
much like
a man
who
out of
his whole
bodily organism,
should
get
in the habit of
using and moving
only
his little finger.
Great
emergencies and crises
show us
how much greater
our vital resources
are
than
we had
supposed.

William James (1842-1910)
father of American psychology
