"Bring Out The Greatness Within You"
"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind."
—Dr. Wayne W. Dyer—
David vs. Goliath
If you think you have great talent, what are you doing with it? Your attitude is a product of who you are — and you alone are responsible for whether it’s positive or negative. Don’t blame anyone but yourself if you should fail in sports or in life, because you are the conductor of your own train.
The graph below shows four types of attitudes and each has its own particular outcome. Having great talent is the common bond, but you can see that the outcomes for each attitude are quite different.
A team’s success isn’t complete without having a great attitude. So, you can see that the real key to success doesn’t depend on great talent or great strength. It depends on each individual athlete possessing the greatest attitude.OK, why did David beat Goliath? Because he believed he could — that’s a great attitude! How many times have you beaten Goliath?
Talking To Yourself
If you want to improve your self-esteem, the first person you need to convince about your own value is yourself. Assuming you’ve taken that important DiSC assessment, you know who you are inside and you can begin starting to concentrate on those strengths.
Let’s take a look at some negative vibes that could be holding you back:
Can’t admit you are wrong
Hold a grudge
Petty jealousy
Feel you can’t ever do anything right
Like to hog all the credit – not a team player
Do any of these describe you? All of these have one common word that creates these negative vibes. Can you guess what that word is? The word is confidence. If you lack self-confidence you are a strong candidate for negative vibes.
So how do you get rid of this negative stuff? One way is to concentrate on your strengths — forget about your weaknesses. Continue to tell yourself how good you really are.
START EVERY DAY TELLING YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE THE BEST WITH YOUR OWN PEP TALK!
Many of us tend to focus only on the negative so throw all those thoughts away. Promise me you will never say the words “try,” “but,” “if,” or can’t. I want you to say, I will” or “I Can”. . . and nothing else!!
