Enough talent to win a flippin' OSCAR...

I've watched enough celebrities...and everyday people like you and me, all yearning to be different. Or better .
It's almost as if the current person they are isn't good enough. Doesn't stand out enough. And doesn't make them happy enough.

If you feel like that - I'd like to challenge you - and also reassure you.


We have become SO good at comparing ourselves to others, it 's easy to want to change.
But into what?
For who?
And ...WHY?

Let me take a good look at you. And into you.

Hmmm......

Here's what I see - someone who can't see just what they have going for them. Someone who has lost their sparkle (or had it knocked out of them). Someone who has fooled themselves into thinking that they are not good enough. You have enough ingredients in you to set the world on fire. You have the tools to achieve anything you want, and your external image is just 'packaging' - if you want to dabble with that - that's OK.

It's what is inside that's the real you. And the real you has TALENT.

Don't change what you have - just FIND it.
(It's buried under a pile of doubt). But it's there alright - oh yeah.

Here's how (part 1)...

1. Get a piece of paper and write on it, all the things that you would change about yourself.
2. Now tear it up and shove it in the bin.
3. Get a piece of paper and write on it 3 things that you think were once great about you.
4. For everything you have written that's good . Remind yourself that those things are still in there, or you're still capable of doing/getting/ being 'it'.
5. At the top of your piece of paper - write the sentence : 'The brand new me'

Don't change what you have - just find it.

No one can make you feel bad, unless YOU allow them to. So why would you?

Worked for Alicia Keys....and will work for you:

'..It's just a brand new kinda me
Can't be bad
I found a brand new kinda free..'


Don't change what you have - just FIND it.
It's a brand new, very talented (and perhaps , undiscovered) you.

You rock baby. And can win ANY award you want.

And The Winner, is.....

How must that feel to have your name called as the 'winner'...the one who has beaten off the competition, the one who has stood out above all others?

Wow. For some people it's a life defining moment. For many , it's a dream that will never happen. They don't believe they will ever be the One.

I disagree. Totally.

I believe that anyone who puts their mind to it, who does what it takes, who can stay the course and overcome the obstacles, can do it. I'm not talking about winning an Oscar by the way (unless that's what your big goal is), I'm talking about achieving the success that you dream about.Whatever it is, in whatever field you are in.
Almost every day I sit in front of people who are succesful at what they do. However- they are still not doing their best, and that's where I come in. Before you can really hit the big time, you kinda need to know who you are and what you've got going for yourself.

So firstly, you need answers to the following:

o What is it about me that stands out?
o What do I do (or could do) better than anyone I know?
o How much do I use my uniqueness ?
o Where do I want to be - and what's stopping me from being there right now?

Secondly, you need someone pushing you , supporting you with your goals, and not letting go until you are there. Someone who will inspire you when the going gets tough, but won't judge you when you make mistakes. That's a tricky one. But there are plenty of people out there who are brilliant, and one of them will be right for you. Find that person!

Thirdly. you need to mentally prepare for success. Think only about winning. Think only about being the best you can possibly be. Get rid of any negativity, doubt, and false reasons why you can't do it. Holding onto a winning mentality will drive you forward.

Get ready, get excited.


Because The Winner , is......YOU.


What are you waiting for?
