AMAZING

Amazing can mean: astonishing, astounding, remarkable, stunning, marvelous, surprising, magnificent, excellent.

I like to think of amazing as great beyond expectation. When you step outside of your comfort zone and do something that you would not consciously do, you amaze yourself. In a previous post we spoke about being phenomenal or being forgotten, when you seek to amaze yourself and others you are guaranteeing that you will never be forgotten.

We sometimes think that we have to be accomplished (doctor, lawyer, banker, teacher, etc) to be amazing. But this is not true, every day ordinary people are stepping out in a big way, daring to be great – amazing!

I am not exactly sure who said it first, but I am reminded of a quote that I say frequently – Go Big or Go Home! When I say this I literally mean, if you are not placing emphasis on being all that you can be, being phenomenal, amazing yourself daily, then you should stay home where it’s familiar and safe. But note that a ship is always safe in a harbour, but that is not why ships are built!

Vow to be amazing!

Quotes on being amazing

You Are Amazing

As you are
Stronger than you know
More beautiful than you think
Worthier than you believe
More loved than you can ever imagine
Passionate about making a difference
Fiery when protecting those you love
Learning, growing, not alone
Warm, giving generous
Quirky, sexy, funny, smart
Flawed, whole, scared, brave
And so, so, so much more
Be strong, Be confident, Be you!

We are what we believe we are.

– C S Lewis

You are here to survive
You’re here to thrive, prosper
Flourish and grow.
You’re here to make a difference, add value
And make our world a better place
Be all you can be, give all you can and
Have an awesome time doing it!!

– Ricardo Housham

Today’s inspirational video comes from Eric Thomas who is encouraging us to add value to our life by being amazing.

He asks two questions:-

1) If your life was amazing, what would it look like?

2) If you know what amazing should look like in your life, why have you not gotten there yet?

Please enjoy the video and vow to be amazing

Quitters Never Win – Fail Forward

Life is tough! We fail more often than we win. What do you do when life throws you a curb ball? Remember when you learned to ride your bicycle? You fell many many times, but you stuck with it and by golly you conquered riding. This is the basic message that we should carry in life, we fall down, but we get up, we persevere!

You are not alone, we have all failed at something – many of life successes comes out of failure. Thomas Edison dreamed of a light operated by electricity. It took 10,000 attempts for him to become successful. Quitters never win and winners never quit!

“Life has knocked me down many times
I’ve seen things I never want to see again
But one thing is for sure,
I will never stay down
I’ll always get back up
I’ll Never! Never! NEVER Give In!”

“Successful People Keep Moving, They Make Mistakes, But They Don’t Quit” – Conrad Hilton

Here is a video about how winners are made….

Don’t Let Anyone Steal Your Dream!

Dream It…..Believe It…..Achieve It

How many times have you shared a dream for your success in life only to have it shut down by a friend, family member or other? If you have answered “too many times” Beware….you are allowing people to steal your dream!

Success is for everyone!

From the book “The Magic of Thinking Big” I am including an excerpts from the chapter “Believe you can succeed and you will”

Success means winning.
Success~achievements~is the goal of life!
First step toward success ~ Believe in yourself, believe you can succeed!

How to develop the power of belief:-
1) Think success, don’t think failure……when you face a situation, think, “I’ll win” not “I’ll probably lose!”

2) Remind yourself that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never sell yourself short.

3) Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think BIG goals and win BIG successes!

For further reading I recommend that you read the book “The Magic of Thinking Big” by David J. Schwartz, Ph.D.

Today’s clip is about not allowing anyone to steal your dream…..

Be Phenomenal Or Be Forgotten

Are you attracted to greatness?

This mornings post comes to us from Eric Thomas’ TGIM Thank God It’s Monday.

ET is reminding us that we need to stop dreaming and to start living. How badly do you want success? Are you content watching on the sidelines as other people succeed? Success is not only for others, you can be as successful as you want to be.

We should not aspire to be average! We need to be Phenomenal or be forgotten!

Enjoy the video clip.

Our Deepest Fear – quote from A Return to Love

Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson

“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?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
