Listen to Your Inner Voice
“Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, "This is the real me," and when you have found that attitude, follow it.” ~William James
What is that mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive? Have you ever thought of that before? Probably not, because we are not taught to do a lot of self-examination...and when we do, it's because of something we've screwed up! But I ask the question again, What is that mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive?
James says that when you find what that is, you need to follow it because that is "the real you." Do you know who the "real you" is? Sad to say, most people don't have a clue. They are what other people say they are. There are who other people want them to be. They have taken Shakespeare literally when he said "All the worlds a stage," and they are just playing parts, just acting, but not being real, not being who they really were meant to be.
If you are not deeply and vitally alive, then you are not being who you were meant to be, you are playing small and the world does not benefit from you playing small. The world does not benefit from you keeping your talent hidden from view. We need more people who are ALIVE!!! Most people just survive from day to day, hardly anybody really lives anymore...
Be the real you...because everybody else is taken. Play Big. Play to Win!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Only You Can Stop You
"Obstacles can't stop you. Problems can't stop you. Most of all, other people can't stop you. Only you can stop you." ~Jeffrey Gitomer
Are you letting obstacles or problems stop you? Why? Are you letting other people stop you? Why? Here's the thing, and you all know this to be true. Only you can stop you. Only you are stopping you. Why are you stopping yourself?
Obstacles can be overcome. Problems can be solved. Other people can be left behind, lost or ignored. So it come back to you, as it always has...You can have reasons or results, and reasons don't count.
If only you can stop you, what are you waiting for? An invitation to become who you were meant to be? Permission to become what you want to become? Acceptance? If you are waiting for any of these things, it's going to be a long wait. (ok, I will give you permission, an invitation and acceptance...feel better?)
Stop stopping yourself. Start playing big, playing to win and not lose, become who and what you want to become. The world is waiting for you and if you don't do it, nobody will. Your uniqueness is waiting to be expressed. Stop waiting. "It's never too late to become who you were meant to become."
Goethe said "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." What matters most is you stopping yourself; what matters least are obstacles, problems and people who don't have your best interests at heart.
