We are who we are, are we not? Sir Winston Churchill said,
"We are all worms. I believe I am a gloworm." A positive
comment from a man who made an astounding mark in the world.
Belief in yourself and acceptance of your abilities is
powerful soil in which to plant great accomplishments.
Observe the people with whom you come into contact on any
given day. How many are enthusiastic about their lives? How
many jumped out of bed in the morning and got excited about
their day? How many feel that they are in charge of what
happens to them? It is YOUR LIFE, after all, to do
with as you choose!
Observe Ellen Goodman's point of belief: "The things we hate
about ourselves aren't more real than things we like about
ourselves." Too many times, people tend to focus on their own
flaws, forgetting about the outstanding talents they do
possess.
No one is good at everything, but each has ability that is an
innate and natural part of his own being. When that ability
is identified and refined, magic begins.
Dr. Samuel Johnson observes, "Almost every man wastes part of
his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not
possess, and to gain applause which he cannot keep."
"It's hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your
head," continues Sally Kempton.
Work hard to rid yourself of undeserved self-criticism and
unreasonable demands. Concentrate on the talents you possess,
and create the daily habit of strengthening the quality of the
talents that are already a part of your makeup.
Use them to the fullest of your abilities. Do not
procrastinate, in order that you can be more ready at a later
date. While those around you are waiting to be better, you
will gain experience exponentially, just by doing.
