Believing In Yourself

There are some emails that you get and you just have to share. I received this one this week and it hit home, so I hope it does the same for you!

Limitations can either define us or give us a challenge to outwit. When you look at your abilities, do you see boundaries and limits, or do you see possibilities and potential? Obsessing about weaknesses can blind us to the untapped abilities we already have. You have talent. Everyone does. The secret to success is to find that talent, develop it and push it as far as you can.

Grandma Moses might have been a lousy bowler, Einstein probably couldn't sing a lick, Michelangelo could've been unable to speak well in public. So what? They knew what they were good at and rode that pony. Your talent might be right in front of you: where do you get the most compliments? What seems to come easily to you? What do people ask your advice for? Live there. Don't let the rest get in the way.

"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."
~ John Wooden, Hall of Fame college basketball coach

'Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.'
