there's more in you...

I've been reading this book "100 Ways to Motivate Yourself" by Steve Chandler and there is a small part of it that I'd like to share with all of you. It says:

~

"That each of us has a fixed personality is a myth. It is self-limiting and it denies us our power of continuous creation.

~

In our ongoing creation of who we are, nothing has a greater impact on that process than the choice we make between optimism and pessimism. There are no optimistic or pessimistic personalities; there are only single, individual choices of optimistic or pessimistic thoughts.

~

Charlie Chaplin once entered a 'Charlie Chaplin Look-alike Contest' in Monte Carlo and the judges awarded him third place!

~

Personality is overrated. Who we are is up to us every moment.

~

The choices me make for our thinking either motivates us or they do not. And although clear visualization of a goal is a good first step, a joyfully motivated life demands more. To live the life you want to live, action is required. As Shakespeare said, "Action is eloquence." And as psychologist and author Dr. Nathaniel Branden has written, "A goal without an action plan is a day dream."

~

Motion creates the self."

I hope the contents of this little wee part of the book helps you in many ways when dealing with self-doubt or when you are faced with a dilemma. Problems often seem too big to handle but if we disect it up into smaller pieces, you will be able to see the bigger picture.

Cheers my friends!
