Words can inspire, and words can destroy. Choose yours well.

Olympics medalist Shawn Johnson.

I watched a 7-minute youtube video of Shawn called I AM SECOND.

In the video, she explained how she felt at 16 years old winning the silver instead of the gold medal in the gymnastics competition.

When she was given the silver the judge whispered "I'm sorry" which was very confusing to a young athlete like her. The reason he said that is because Shawn was predicted to win the gold that year.

Now she knew for sure she was a disappointment to the USA and everyone around her. It took her years to get over it.

Can you imagine being one of the chosen few to go to the Olympics in the first place, then someone that won a medal only to feel they are a huge disappointment?

Lesson for the day:
"Words can inspire, and words can destroy. Choose yours well." Robin Sharma

Three Ways to Improve Self- Confidence

I’m keeping the blog short and sweet but today we’re going to cover an important topic, self-confidence!

Here are three ways I recommend for boosting yours.

1. Acceptance is key: make a list of all the good things about you, focus only on those traits. Start developing them even more.

2. Remember everything that follows I AM we consider as the truth. So be careful with your words. Negative talk increases low self-esteem. (I am beautiful. I am worthy. I am smart.

3. Never, ever, compare yourself to anyone else just be the best YOU, you can be. You will stay stuck if you play the game of comparison.

Will the Real You Please Stand Up! Part 4/5

Going deep within to discover who you are is not easy ...it takes work.

Hopefully, the exercise for today will help you get to know yourself better through the eyes of others.

I want you to ask five or more people what they think you are really good at.

What this exercise will do is validate what you already know about yourself. You might even have some pleasant surprises along the way. Many people have.

The second part of this exercise

Go back to those five things that people told you and circle the one that surprised you the most.

In my case actually, I didn’t have any surprises but I certainly loved getting their opinions.

I hope you enjoy this exercise as much as so many other people have. It was the favorite of many.

Will the Real You Please Stand Up! Part 2/5

In this entire blog of “will the real you stand up” it’s important that you ask yourself the right deep questions. The deeper the questions the bigger the results. So here it goes....

Name five times you felt very successful in your business or your career

1

2

3

4

5

For me, it became very noticeable that I had a pattern going on with my successes. The pattern was I was either getting an award for something. Or I was receiving money for something. So obviously my common thread is feeling appreciated and valuable.

The next question is

Circle the one that means the most to you today

I circled, the time when a publisher called me and said he’d like to put my book HIRE ME in every airport around the country. I thought he was kidding. He wasn’t.

Now here’s the third part of this equation

why did I circle that one. Why are you circling the one you’re circling?

For me ....my why is because once again somebody valued what I did, was willing to pay me the money I deserve for what I just created, and that made me feel very successful.

Now it’s your turn

What is your why???

WILL THE REAL YOU PLEASE STAND UP!!!

Remember the TV show TO TELL THE TRUTH?

It began in 1956 and was revived so many times that it now is in its 31st season...2021

I am using that TV show as an analogy in this blog because all I hear about these days is the question around IMPOSTER SYNDROME.

I do not identify with that because I have never felt like an imposter. Who would want to feel like that??

Obviously, a lot of people because I have probably heard 100 people say "yes I had imposter syndrome"

What is that about??

I say to be true to yourself or

Be Yourself, everyone else is taken (don't know where I heard that but I love it)

I am hoping the following 5 blogs will help you be you so the REAL YOU CAN STAND UP

Here is your first assignment

LIST 5 THINGS YOU LOVE TO DO IN YOUR BUSINESS OR CAREER

1

2

3

4

LIST 5 THINGS THAT COME VERY EASY FOR YOU, BUT YOU HAVE NOTICED THEY DO NOT FOR OTHERS
