You Are Better Than You Think You Are

Daily Success Motivation and Positive Thinking

"Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined..." - Leo Rosten

No Limit Living
There are no limitations on what you can do. The only limitations are in how you think. Are you willing to confront your greatest possibilities? Are you willing to stare your greatness in the eye and believe that you have what it takes and that you are better than you think you are?

What do you imagine yourself doing but then you imagine others who are or who can do it better than you? Don't you know that there are people in world that you were created and designed to connect with? You are unique and no one can do what you do like you do it.

You don't have to compare yourself to the best and put yourself down. No. You can compare yourself to the best and believe that you are better than you think you are! I want to encourage you to take hold of courage and confront your possibilities!

You will never know what is "truly" possible until you dare to step out and do what it is you have imagined. I could never have known the reality of my potential and possibilities had I not taken the courage step out in belief and give my dreams an opportunity to live beyond what I have always imagined in my mind.

And this is what you truly want right? You want your life to make room for your dreams. Well, you are gift naturally for success and happiness and your gifts will make room for your when you decide to unleash them on the world. Life is more than abundant and there is plenty of room for you to expand your capacity and let your talents shine forth.

Don't be ashamed nor shy of who you are, what you dream and what you desire to become. It's all in the plan. If you've been let down, put down or sat down by someone else who doesn't love his or herself enough to support you then understand that it is the plan also.

Because you have to prove that you will qualify for the win. Not you aren't worthy but you must be willing to press through the obstacles and go for it.

Overcoming The Past
Let me give you an example. When I was younger I always had dreams of leadership and speaking and teaching. I loved sharing with people and watching learning occur in others. I also has a high pitched voice and I was know for using less slang and as being more "proper" in speech.

Well kids naturally made fun of my voice and how I spoke. I was given nick-names like "tweety bird" and such. As a young man growing up this didn't hurt as much as it subconsciously caused me to silence my voice out of shame and lack of confidence in my ability to communicate effectively.

Over the years I made small attempts at leadership and I did small group teaching and instruction mostly at church but then some in my profession as an Information Technology professional. However anytime the opportunity came for doing real public speaking to a wide audience I would freeze, imagine people laughing at how I sounded and I would immediately figure out ways to avoid these situations. One on one I was excellent because I loved talking...period! :-) and I love people.

This created such a conflict over the years because in my heart I had this passion for leadership and speaking yet I did not dare do it. It is a fire shut up in my bones and this fire only burned more as I imagined greatness. I never fully let the dream die although it lay dormant for a number of years. But I've been building up towards this moment for the past couple of years and I've turned the corner on committing to living "Thinking Well and Finishing Strong!". That's my life's by-line and one of the messages I believe I am called to deliver to others.

I'm saying this to you because who you are and what you are to become has nothing to do what bad experiences you may have had in your past. Your past doesn't determine your future, your decisions do. You don't have to be chained to the past and you don't have to live of memories of what happened to you years ago.

Some of you are living your past right now instead of living right in the now. Living right in the now is living with a vision of what is possible instead of what is past.

4 Steps to "Stepping" Out and Doing It
Here are a few steps to breaking out, and stepping forward into your destiny and greatness.

1. Prepare. What are you preparing to live for? Are you prepared to live? Getting ready to go for it is half the battle. Preparation produces confidence. When you are prepared to the best of your ability you can let destiny and opportunity take care of the rest. Your gifts will carry you through but you must prepare. Don't wait until you think you will have the opportunity. Set your dreams and goals and prepare right now. This is a classic way for your gifts to make room for you. You have to know what you want and prepare for it even if you don't see opportunity before. Preparing sets the expectation and builds belief. The Law of Attraction will ensure the opportunities come your way.

2. Propel. To propel means to drive forward or onward by or as if by means of a force that imparts motion. Preparation will propel you forward and create motion. You cannot prepare for something without the pursuit of that same thing. Whether you are pursuing information, instruction or ideas, your preparation leads to motion that propels you forward towards your intended outcome. Think of is simple success motivation. Think of it as your momentum. Keep it going and not letting your dreams sit dormant. Propel yourself and commit to going after your dreams.

3. Promote. To promote is to advance in station, rank, or honor. Give yourself a new name rank and serial number! Belief in yourself and give yourself a higher rank and stature. Honor your beauty and uniqueness and believe that you are indeed better than you think you are! This is vital and important. The world will treat you with same level of importance that you place upon yourself. You are important and your life matters. You importance is not determined by your success or money but believe you are important enough to deserve wealth and money and happiness is necessary in order to receive. You are worthy, you are important and you deserve the best that life has to offer.

4. Perform. This is where the rubber meets the road. At some point you simply have to perform. You have to take the action steps to make it all happen for you. Action begets more action and the power to do a thing comes in doing the thing. You have to test your capacity to live your best life now, test your capacity to learn from mistakes and get back up and most of all you have to test your capacity to become all that you are intended to be. I would bet the farm (if I had one) that you will discover that you have capacities far beyond what you imagined to day and that your dreams are only the tip of the iceberg for what you can truly accomplish with your life.

You are better than you think you are!

Hey Charles,

Thanks for coming by and post comments. I've been considering an email list for daily quotes and motivation that would tie back to my blog. I'm still considering whether or not UYM readers are interesting in receiving email updates since there is already enough inbox clutter and RSS is a way to work around that. Perhaps I will post that question for feedback.

Thanks Charles!

Think Well and Finish Strong!
