"No one can whistle a symphony. It takes an orchestra to play it."~H. E. Luccock
Are you trying to create a symphony all by yourself? Being the lone entrepreneur, not needing anyone's help? Guess what? No one has ever made it on their own! We all need other people and we need their help.
Look at all successful people and you will see a whole team of other individuals that worked on the success of that one individual. Who is on your team? Who is working to make you a success? Why are they helping you? Why aren't others helping you?
This "New Economy" requires that we spend even more time on those relationships where we can help others succeed and they can help us succeed. Are you spending the time doing that? Why not? Are you doing what you have always done? How's that working for you?
Action:
Find those people who are working towards your success and let them know that you appreciate them and how important they are to you. I have a whole list of people and I'm sure that you do to.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Fearlessly Be Yourself
"There is only one of you for all time. Fearlessly be yourself."~Anthony Rapp
Are you fearlessly being yourself, or are you playing someone else on this stage that is called life? Who are you playing and why? Is it because it's what your parents told you, or what a teacher told you, or maybe what a friend suggested you become? If you are not being yourself, who are you being?
"Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you."
When do you get the feeling that you are the person who you always wanted to be? At certain times? Once in a long while? Never?
Action:
Fearlessly be yourself! And if you don't know who that is, find out. Spend some time contemplating what drives you and what makes you feel the most authentic. Search for that feeling and when you find it, hold on to it with all your heart.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

In A Great Place
“Instead of placing judgments on where you find yourself, consider the positive possibilities. Instead of extending assumptions out from your limitations, imagine your most treasured dreams extending out from your current situation. ~Ralph Marston
Are you placing judgments on where you find yourself? STOP IT!! RIGHT NOW!! Start to consider the positive aspects of where you are now and stop only looking at the negatives.
Instead of extending your assumptions from your limitations, extend NEW assumptions that are unlimited. See, we often view the world from our limited perspective, rather than from the infinite perspective that it exists in!
Take your dreams and put them to work from this point forward. Don't worry that you haven't done it until now, celebrate the fact that you are doing it now!
Action:
Stop placing judgments on where you are now.
Stop viewing the situation from a limited point of view.
Start working on your dream. NOW!!

Less Than You Can Be
"If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I must warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life."~Abraham Maslow
Are you planning on only accepting a little of life? Why? We were made for abundance. I don't think that most people plan on being less than they can be, but have the desire to be all they can be driven out of them. By well-meaning teachers, parents and friends...
How can you reclaim the feeling of becoming capable of doing anything? Confidence, belief in yourself and knowledge that there are no accidents or coincidences. There's a reason that you are where you are right now. It could be to help someone else out, it could be because you have something to learn, but there is a reason why we are all where we are.
"Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you."
Action:
Play BIG. GO FOR EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET! Don't allow how others feel about you to diminish who you are.

Come To the Edge
"Come to the edge, Life said. They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, Life said. They came. Life pushed them... And they flew."
~Guilliame Apollinaire
Are you on the edge or are you safely in the middle? Are you afraid? Why? Fear doesn't exist anywhere...but in your mind! That's right, it's all in your head and the stories that you are telling yourself. Harry Truman said "Don't be afraid to go out on a limb...that's where the fruit is." That is so true, but you have to convince yourself of that, daily.
Action:
Realize that the only thing holding you back are the stories your are telling yourself and often those stories are just not true. They have been programmed in you for a long time. Start eliminating those stories today that don't serve you any more.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Forward or Backwards
"You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety." ~Abraham Maslow
Are you stepping forward into growth or back into safety? Maslow sure had it right. If you are not moving forward, you are moving backwards. While it is into safety, it is still moving backwards. I don't think that you can ever just tread water and stay in one place.
Most people don't realize that they are moving backwards, they think they are staying at the same point. Don't fool yourself with that story, it just isn't true. The challenge is that it's an easy out to just say that you are holding in place rather then putting yourself out there to become who you were meant to become.
Anias Nin said “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” When will the risk become too painful for you? When will you be ready to grow, to move forward? How about NOW??
