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!

Those who have courage and faith shall never perish in misery.

– Anne Frank

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

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…..
