And the Grinch, his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
~Dr. Seuss

Your Great Purpose
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations and your consciousness expands in every direction. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. ~Patanjali
Are you inspired by some great purpose? Some extraordinary project? What is it? Or are you not really inspired at all and have no extraordinary projects to work on?? If you don't know or can't say what your great purpose is, that's ok. It's never to late to find your purpose, your extraordinary project. The key is to be searching within yourself to find it. It will not be outside of you. You already have it.
Here's what happens when you do find your great purpose...Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive! Have you ever experienced that? It's so cool when it does. The other thing that happens is that you discover yourself to be a far greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be! When you find that purpose, all that negative self-talk disappears.
Challenge yourself this week to make sure that you are inspired by your great purpose. I dare you!

The Vision in Your Mind
"The vision that you glorify in your mind, either you revere or you fear."~James Allen
Any thought that is either feared or revered gathers energy around it and becomes the life we build. This will become you. What you resist, persists. Did you realize that? Most people spend too much time thinking about the things they don't want as opposed to the things they want. The result? They get more of what they don't want!! Spend more time on the things you want rather than on the things you don't.
Chris Lee said "Everything you've done in life - the good, the bad - have all brought you to this moment. Someone out there obviously wants you to do something significant, right now. That person is you." Do you want to do something significant? I think most people do, but they don't know what. Look inside, everything you've done in life has brought you to this moment. That's where you will find your gift to the world. Inside you.

Your Limitations?
“There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge” ~Napoleon Hill
What limitations are you accepting and acknowledging? How often do we talk ourselves out of doing the thing we want because of our supposed limitations? Too often, we are our worst critic and we constantly sabotage our efforts because we don't think that we deserve it.
Richard Bach said “Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.” How often are you arguing for your limitations? Stop doing that. Now!! Start being who you were meant to be. Stop living life at less than you were designed to live it. It's never too late to be who you were meant to be!

First Rate You?
“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?

Are You Dreaming or Wishing?
"Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and your reality. If you can dream it you can make it happen."~Belva Davis
Are you afraid of that space? Is that what is holding you back? Afraid of the space between your dreams and your reality?
There's nothing to fear in that space. It's all just a story that you are telling yourself.
If you are dreaming it, you've already been given everything that you need to make it happen, did you realize that or are you still focused on the 'space?' Do you believe that you can create your reality? Really?
Do you believe in your dream or is it just a fantasy, a place where you can go and wish? Too many people who say they have dreams, just have wishes, never working on them, just wishing for them.
What is your dream? Start focusing on it now and take the first step toward attaining it. Without taking the steps to attain it, it's just a wish.

Success Lies Just Beyond
“We must never be afraid to go too far, for success lies just beyond.”
~Marcel Proust
Are you afraid to go too far? A lot of people are. They are not content where they are at but fear making a change that could bring them success. So they settle for what they have. Are you settling for what you have so that you can stay safe in your comfort zone? Success lies just beyond your comfort zone! Too many people in their comfort zone who don't want to be there stay there either out of fear or by settling and not taking a chance.
Max Du Pree said "In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by remaining who we are." Wow, "We cannot become what we need to be by remaining who we are!" How powerful is that? Do you realize this? It's called GROWTH! And it takes us out of our comfort zone and allows us to become what we need to become.
If you are serious about becoming successful you will need to do two things:
1) Not be afraid of going too far, and
2) Not remaining who you are. That is your challenge for today and from now on!!
