Part 1 of 7 Ways to Stretch your vision is to confront your own ignorance and remove your ignorance.
Transcript of Video:
I have started to listen to David Sharp’s Audio Library Session on Stretch Your Vision. It’s about one hour. It’s an Audio Library that I have. I am going to listen to it one whole week. To really get the meaning of his speaking. He is quite an amazing person; I will discuss that, who he is in my blog. You can click the link below to find out more about him.
0:40 Today I really know that creating a big vision is not easy for everyone. People walk around, living their lives mediocre.
Often people are afraid. They don’t know lots of things. They don’t even know that they don’t know.
1:00 There is so much ignorance in the world. Ignorance is covered up by people’s superiority complex. Intolerance. Thinking they are better than anyone else. And they defend themselves and their own points of view. Without really examining.
1:24 In this condition how can you ever create a big vision? Unless it’s a very warped vision that destroys other people; create a chaos; or violates the rights of others. Which is happening all over the world.
1:46 So we need to take a look at something very fundamental, ignorance. An unaware state.
Inexperience. Maya Angelo said, “The children’s talent to endure stems from their ignorance of knowing alternatives.” So children start to build up these walls and pile up one on top of the other these layers of ignorance. People do not think right. Not see things right. Not act right.
2:28 They don’t have confidence. They’ve been put down. So how can they create a big vision suddenly? And stretch your vision. We need fist to deal with layers and shell of ignorance.
I picked several quotes to deal with cutting through ignorance.
In my blog, we will discuss and explore further and more fully. Part 1 of 7 Ways to Stretch Your vision is to confront your own ignorance and remove your ignorance.
Thank you for watching this video and I will see you on the inside.

It is Possible to Rise Above:
David Sharp today is a dynamic speaker and trainer. Once he was an alcoholic and drug addict for several years. Homeless. At the only important thing for him was to get a little more supply of heroin for another fix. He is one of the original co-founders of a leading Internet Marketing company with tens of thousands of successful affiliates. Today he conducts high-end training in personal and business development.
Why many choose to remain ignorant:
It’s very hard to stretch your vision to live life fully and maximize your full potential. You are not stopped because you don’t know how. You are not stopped because you are lazy necessarilyPeople are ignorant and remain ignorant because they were conditioned to be in that state from childhood.
As already discussed, when children were growing up, they had very little resources available to them. If they were not very fortunate having nurturing and aware adults around them, they fended for themselves and came up with their own coping mechanisms. They simply endure their situation and survived. They have formed layers of defensive tactics and not so effective tools. Their world view remains narrow and myopic.
David Sharp spoke of fishes kept in a tiny bowl just swam around the periphery of the bowl day after day. When they were released to an open sea, they didn’t just start to swim a wide distance. Animals in captivity forget their physical power and don’t try to break a chain or jump over a fenced area.
Living in their small vision and world view, they begin to make up their own laws. There is no empathy or compassion. Because you are the big frog in your kingdom of the pond you live in and you rule as you feel like it.
Many people became territorial. They live in a tight knit neighborhood. They often become intolerant of differences. Anyone whose skin color or different ethnicity, nationality, race can be treated without any respects or love. In many areas of the world, gay people are openly attacked. Not too long ago, many States had Anti-miscegenation laws making interracial marriage or even sex criminal.
Human being were captured and sold as slaves for hard labor.
These all stem from ignorance of the basic human principles. Not religious teaching that promotes only a dogma, but basic spiritual principles are lacking.
So what are some of the spiritual attitudes?
Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.
The first step of humility is to know that you are not above anyone else. You don’t have the right to own others or violate other’s right. Then you develop close relationship to something beyond yourself. You may begin to respect the Universe’s order or a power beyond yourself. Then you learn to treat others as you would treat yourself.
You continue to seek knowledge instead of writing your own encyclopedia. You become a truth seeker.
You will develop spiritual attitudes of faith and gratitude.
Understanding and Releasing Ignorance:
At this point, you become aware of your own strengths and weaknesses limitations, your own prejudices,” isms” and limiting beliefs. You will realize the lies you’ve been telling yourself.
That is when you become aware of your own ignorance. As you have been developing your understanding, you have been opening the door to your heart and your true desires of what you want your life to be about.
You can now admit how you have been cautious and afraid to let go of your comfort zone.
You are beginning to honor your own potential and you are now respecting those less fortunate than you are.
It is time to begin to stretch your vision.
What can you change today to step into your vision for a greater future?
Many of my friends have stretched their visions and succeeded using this system.
To Your Happiness and Abundance,
