*Note…I wrote this months ago, but just had to re-post…it’s just too good.
We all want it (I know I do).
We dream about it, fantisize over it and hope for it, but many of us never attain it; at least not to the extent that we wish for. Since I’m among those desiring it, I must ask myself why I have not reached the penacle of success. Is success only reserved for a select few? Of couse not!
We ALL have the potential for greatness. We’re probably much greater than we recognize. I’m sure our closest friends and family think so already. They look at us as inspiring, dependable, creative, strong, funny, clever, stylish and just downright cool. Where we run into a snag is when we don’t think of ourselves in this magnificent way.
So maybe you don’t receive such accolades each day (or month or year for that matter); but if you did, would you ‘believe’ them? How many times have you times have you shot down a compliment, trying to be all “humble”? Please! It is time to take in all the positivity we can stand! If my son thinks I’m the best thing since sliced bread, then I am and then some!
That’s right folks, we have to think just a little more of ourselves each day. This will make us feel good and when we feel good, we become confident and with the confidence comes success.
So keep all of those “you’re the best” greeting cards and the “great job” emails and look at them everyday if necessary. Get pumped up about yourself again. Besides, there is nothing wrong with getting a big head except maybe you won’t be able to wear a turtleneck.
Until next time…be a little cocky, be extraordinary…be YOU!
I am a mother,
