The Courage to Be Brilliant

The Courage to Be Brilliant

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…We ask ourselves, `Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.” —Marianne Williamson

The most responsible — yet most challenging — thing to do is to face up to your natural talents. It is an honor to have such blessings. Do not waste them. Step up to the potential inherent in your talents and find ways to develop your strengths. Be true to yourself by becoming more of who you really are.

This advice is easy to give and difficult to practice. It is easier when working with a trained professional coach. Working with your coach can make it easier for you to identify your talents and strengths. There are also a number of online self-assessments available to help. Once your five top strengths are identified, you can examine how they show up in your life.

It is a process of a few steps back, a few steps forward, and learning as you go. It is not the same as book learning. The only way to learn about your strengths is to act, learn, refine, and then act, learn, refine. Open yourself to feedback. This means you must be strong and courageous. Personal development is not for sissies.

Discovering your true strengths is the path towards improvement and success. When you pay attention to your deficits and try to overcome them, you are placing emphasis on becoming what you are not. You wind up living a second-rate version of someone else’s life rather than a world-class version of your own.

Have a Great Week!

Find Your Way!

Johnny Cash recorded this song live on his show…..the network wanted him to make changes, but he did it just the way it was intended.

If you like the song or not it makes little difference…..the idea of pushing forward and getting your ideas out there in a unique way does.

Find Your Way!

Reborn For Success In The New Year!

Reborn For Success In The New Year!

As we see the end of a new year let’s take a moment to look back and reflect over the past 12 months.

Was the past 12 months a busy time for you? Was the past 12 months rewarding or was it a tough time for you in your business? Did you keep your job?

 Did you have some health issues in your family as I did? Did you lose any faith or trust for the government and the Whitehouse?

I only hope that the past year was very good to you and I also hope that you will create and achieve massive success in the next 12 months.

The great thing about a New Year is that we can all look at the New Year as fresh and have excitement for the New Year. A new year marks a new beginning for dreams and goals.

Friends Gone.

As I reflect I think about the people and old friends that died over the last 12 months. We lost a great man and a pioneer in the Personal Development Field, Mr. Jim Rohn. Jim Rohn’s work and words helped so many people find massive success in their own business and in their lives. I lost some friends that I’ve known for years and years in the past few months.

If we live long enough we will see our friends leave us as time goes by. That is only a fact of life that we must deal with.

I’ve heard people say that we should live like we were dying. And I’ve had people ask; what would you do if you only had 6 months to live? All good things to ponder on and reflect about… it may make you a better person. It may help you to think about some of the things you didn’t do or the things you need to do.

I’m sure it was Mark Twain who said; we regret all the things we didn’t do more that the things we did.

New Beginning/ Reborn.

Now, I like to ask the people I coach and mentor this question. What would you do if you knew you had a new life, a new beginning and a clean slate to create the life you want and deserve?

You have that new day today if you choose! No need for regret! No need to think about all the things that you’re not doing.

Start today to think about all the things you plan to do starting in the New Year. Forget all the things you tried to do or the things you intended to do in the past and make plans for your NEW LIFE!

Most important.

Inertia is the best way to live a life of regret. You must take ACTION on all you ideas, intentions and goals to continue to move forward. Find that person that will hold you accountable and keep you on task. Those people (Mastermind Group) that will help guarantee you to create that massive success and find your true greatness for years to come.

Happy New Year!!!

Let’s meet 12 months from now and reflect again on the things we made happen…without regret!

Think For Success

Over the years I’ve read some amazing books by some very amazing people. I look at my life at times and take notice of the habits I’ve picked up because of the positive influence they had on me.

I implemented a habit years ago when I was young but I didn’t know the power of it until I read Brian Tracy and later John Maxwell.

The habit is to find some down time to think. I’ve always done this from the time I was a kid. When I was very young I would go to the woods and wonder around and stand in the stillness. But the thinking wasn’t organized the way it is today. Well….most of the time.

Your place to think never has to be ordinary.

Some successful people I know get comfortable in a dark room and just think and wait for an answer to a question they are thinking about.

You can also find other very successful people that do their best thinking in a small crowd of people like a coffee shop or restaurant. J. K. Rowling,, author of the “Harry Potter” books did some of her best work in a cafe’ and coffee shop. Some people need to have that little distraction to stimulate the thinking process.

It may not be  important where your thinking place is as long as you get to really think.

Thanks.
