Awakening to Your Greatness

Are you aware of your greatness? Are you aware of your strength, your uniqueness and your power? Are you aware that you have the ability to turn any situation around today by making a few little changes? You have the potential inside to be as successful as you want to be!

Most of us talk about wanting our lives to be different or better than it is. What many of us may not realize is that we can have a different or better life if that is what we truly want. It's possible! Not being aware of the successful person you are inside, is like having a treasure buried in your backyard and not knowing it or benefiting from it.

There is an old Buddhist story called "The Gem in the Robe". In this story a poor man, wandered around for many, many years without realizing that his wealthy friend so many years ago, had sewed a beautiful gem in the hem of his robe while he was asleep. The moral of this story is that many of us walk around and are not aware of the gem we have within our life to succeed.

If Oprah Winfrey announced that she would give anyone $100,000 after they have written a book on how to help people succeed, would you write it? Are you aware that you could do it? Well, believe it! You have the potential within to do it! You have something special and unique to offer others.

Think of something you do really well or some information you have.  Know that there is someone, somewhere, right now, who wants or needs your information. Write out a simple plan, instructions or action steps that person will need to follow. This is how your successful life will start to unfold.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?" -- Marianne Williamson

You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being – not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money – but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason." -- Wayne Dyer
