What does a sandbox mean to you?
What does it mean to a child? Do they like playing in the
sandbox? Yes. Why? Because it’s fun, and they get to get dirty. How can a box filled with sand be any fun to a
child? Because the sandbox is nothing less than unlimited potential.
Where you see sand, a child sees a castle. Where you dislike getting
sand in your clothes, a child knows there is treasure buried in the sand and
revels in the quest of digging it up. The nondescript sand becomes an unbridled
journey of the imagination. That sand can be transformed into anything they
want it to be, maybe even the surface of another planet.
In its infinite potential what they can do with that sand is
boundless. They hold the power to transform it into whatever their minds, believe
it to be. Intuitively, they understand the power of the sandbox; that is why a two-year-old,
who has never seen a sandbox, will run straight towards it.
I suggest to you, that if you have not had a sandbox experience,
you have not lived your life at its highest potential. Why? Because the sandbox
in and of itself becomes a contained place of potential. It is a place where
you can go, and be what you want to be, say what you want to say. You can dream
and allow your imagination to run to another level.
Why haven't you played in the sandbox? Well, one of the reasons you probably haven't
played is because potential, dreams, and things that you desire have been expunged
from your imagination.
It's been beat out of you. It's been conditioned out of you.
It's been lied out of you. Your imagination has been taken to such a place that
you don't even think about the sand.
when you see the sandbox, even when your children are playing in it,
your mind, sees the dirt and the clothes that must cleaned.
You see responsibility where that child sees unlimited
potential. I want you to understand something, you're in the biggest sandbox that
exist, and God has placed you on it.
Ladies and gentlemen, life is a sandbox. It's a place where you
have unlimited potential. It is a place where you can do what you want to do. You
dream, and you act. Kids don't just sit in the sandbox fold their arms and
imagine. No, they take action. They dig, they move, they create, they play.
They don't just sit there; the sandbox allows them to think and act.
You are in the biggest sandbox you've ever seen. It's a place
where you can be as dirty and as grimy as you need to be to show who you are as
a person and to manifest the potential that God has placed inside of you.
I'd like to invite you to play in the sandbox and join me as I live the potential that God has given me. Listen to these words and know that God has given you the power to imagine, believe, and create to your ultimate potential.
No Fears, No Doubts, No Limits! Be well.
