You Were Born To Be Unique!

"Every man and woman is born into the world to do something unique and something distinctive; and if he or she does not do it, it will never be done."~Benjamin E. Mays


You were born to do something unique. Do you realize that? You were born into the world to do something unique! Are you doing it or are you doing something that is normal, mediocre and boring? While you may do something that a lot of other people do, you can make what you do UNIQUE! Because YOU are unique, you can make what you do unique.

When we are sent to school, we are told to "fit in," to "be like everyone else," to "not be different." We need to allow our children to become who they were meant to be, not what the government schools say they should be. Our uniqueness is driven to a point within us where it is hard to find, but it is still there...waiting to get out. If you have not let your uniqueness out, what are you waiting for? It will be the best thing that you have ever done!! But if you don't do it...it will never be done. Because you are here to do that one unique thing.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones  you did do." I ask again, What are you waiting for?

The Reverend Billy Graham said "Since God made us to be originals, why stoop to be a copy?" Become who you were meant to be. Be unique! Be You! Be different! It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Only YOU Can Raise Your Value


"You're bigger than you think. So, fit your thinking to your true size. Think as big as you really are! Never, never, never sell yourself short!"~David J. Schwartz, PhD

Does your thinking fit your true size?? I'm talking about mental size, not physical size...Do you realize that you are bigger than you think? Most people are satisfied with being mediocre and are not really interested in seeing how big they can play. Oh, they talk a good game, but when it comes down to it, they are happy to stay in their shell and not venture out too far.  That would take them out of their "comfort zone" and most people don't like to leave the rut, I mean safety, I mean "the familiar zone."

What will it take for you to think as big as you really are and not sell yourself short? Do you let the voice in your head talk you down from trying? Do you listen to those fears? About those fears...they only exist in your head. In fact, think of all the fears that you have and there are only 2 that we are born with, the fear of loud noises and the fear of falling. Every other fear that you have, from snakes to germs, to spiders and such YOU created.  Un-create them and don't let the fears stop you from doing what you know needs to be done to think big.

Never, ever, sell yourself short. Here's the problem with selling yourself short. The world will not raise your value if you don't value yourself. No one else can raise your value either, so it comes back to you. Only YOU can raise your value to the world.  Stop playing small. Play and think BIG.

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Unique and Distinctive

Make No Little Plans

“Make no little plans. They have no Magic to stir Men's blood.”~ Daniel H. Burnham

How big are your plans? Are they real big or are they just normal size? Why? I work with clients and ask them to come up with a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) and usually, without fail, they come up with a goal that is reachable with a little more effort, but not one that would require too much work to achieve.

Average plans will not cause you to do whatever you need to do to accomplish it. You will quit on average plans because your reason for doing it doesn't stir your soul...oh, sure, it stirs your soul you say...right. Be honest with yourself.

The world is waiting for you to play big, not small. Your average plans will keep you right where you are...average. I suppose that you could say that in being mediocre, you are always at your best...but that's a backhanded compliment that's not worthy of you. Do you realize that you are worthy of playing big? Yes, YOU are worthy to play big, so show the world what you are here to show the world. Don't hide behind anything, step out and claim your greatness!
