"Correction does much, but encouragement does more." ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are constantly being corrected but how often are we encouraged? I'd say that it's at least 10 to 1, correction over encouragement. What do you think?
Today's post is to ENCOURAGE you to become all that you were meant to be. That means playing big, not shrinking back and hiding in the crowd! Don't let your lizard brain scare you away from being who you were meant to be!! Your lizard brain will tell you that it is too dangerous, that people will not like you, that you can't become who you were meant to become. DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR LIZARD BRAIN!!! The lizard brain is why I say that your brain is not your friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who is one of my mentors said "Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be." If that is you, take this message as your wake up call to be inspired to be all that you were created to be!
Action:
Take today to encourage someone you don't know and maybe even some people that you do know and see what a difference it makes in their life.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Are You REALLY You or a Knock-off?
“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”~Judy Garland
Are you a first rate version of yourself or are you a second rate version of someone else? Really, think about it! My feeling is that we start out as trying to imitate someone (a second rate version) and sometimes we break away from that, but sometimes we are stuck in it because we are never able to be as good as the original. What do you think?
While it's good to have role models and people that we can follow, it's imperative that we become who we were meant to be. To bring our unique gift to the world, for the world will never see it unless we each bring it. Too many people have shrunk from who they could have been and are just living to survive or until their "ship comes in." Guess what? That ship is never coming. It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.
Terry Josephson said “Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities” That's the challenge for us today and from now on. Think in terms of YOUR possibilities! Wow, do you see how empowering that is? Your possibilities are limitless! You do realize that, don't you?
Do you think in terms of possibilities or limitations when you tell stories to your clients or are you simply reciting boring facts trying to get them to buy from you? Join us Friday at "Story Telling for Sales and Success" and learn the secret to putting your prospect into a "buying trance." Stories are the secret. Learn to tell stories like Hollywood (there is a formula!) http://mkt.com/mentoring-your-success-2/story-telling-for-success-and-sales
