Like an Iceberg, Your Strength is Beneath the Surface

You are an iceberg.

With an iceberg, what we see on the surface is only 10% of the actual mass.  90% of the mass of the iceberg is beneath the surface.

With a human, we are essentially our thoughts manifested in physical form.  What we see on the surface is that manifestation.  On the surface, I see you.  I see what thoughts you have taken action on.  I see how you dress, how you interact, what you drive, what you do for work, what you’ve built here, and the family you’ve created.

Beneath the surface is a beehive of mental activity.  Who you are beneath that surface, who you are inside your head, no one knows that but you.

It is estimated that each individual has 50-60,000 thoughts per day.  Of those how many do you think are vocalized or realized?  How many are brought to the surface?  And which ones are brought to the surface – the right ones or the wrong ones?  Ones that help you build what you want or ones that limit you?

You are not like an iceberg in that you have the opportunity to shape the thoughts beneath the surface.  What you bring to the surface, what you manifest, is also in your control.

What’s beneath the surface and held deep within the iceberg is yours to excavate.  Chances are there are powerful things in there you want to bring out.  The power to sink the mighty Titanic came from what was underneath the surface.  Interestingly, the power that created the same vessel came from beneath the surface too.
