“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?
Action:If you're having a challenge in seeing how you can be a first-rate version of yourself, let's talk about that. Sometimes you just need a different perspective. Be You, everyone else is taken.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Be You, Not Somebody Else
"To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you somebody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." ~ e. e. cummings
Are you nobody but yourself? Really? Think about it, are you yourself? Well, "Of course" you say, but look deeper. Is that really you saying that or is your parents, your teachers, your buddies? The world is trying to make everybody the same. Even the government is trying to make sure that everybody has equal results, rather than equal opportunity. Don't be someone else! Be You!
Be Yourself! Why? Cause everybody else is taken!!!
When you try to be like someone else, you are nothing more than a cheap imitation of the original. Why would you want to be that? Some people say, "you can succeed if you do what I did." The problem with that is, you are not them, so even if you do everything they tell you to do, your results will be different because you are you and not them.
You have a unique gift to give to the world. If you don't give your gift to the world, the world will never get to see that gift, because only you can give it to the world.
This is the biggest fight that you will ever have and it will be against the world and yourself. The key is to never stop fighting the battle to be you. You will want to sometimes just give up, but that is when you are almost there. Never stop fighting the battle to be you. Don't let the world win.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
