Remember last week when I told you about my friend Tiffany?  Well I would like to say “Congratulations! I am so proud of you!”  No she didn’t make it but she still deserves to be congratulated for taking the chance to go for her dreams, and I am proud of her not only for putting forth the effort but for the way she handled not making it to the next round.

She sent me a message right after her audition and told me that she didn’t make it, and the part that impressed me the most was when in the same breath she said “that’s ok there is always next year” what a great way to accept not winning. 

She wasn’t devastated and isn’t going to throw in the towel and give up. She is still confident enough in who she is and her talents that she is willing to give it another shot.  She really is quite good by the way and she has the voice, but maybe the timing just isn’t right, who knows, the important thing is that she isn’t giving up.

Have you ever wanted something so bad but were afraid to do what it takes to get it?  I know I have and I know at one point Tiffany was too.  You have to take steps to over come those fears and also be willing to accept set backs when things don’t work out, just remember not to give up.

If you are suffering from low self esteem or lack of self confidence you need to take necessary steps to find the root cause of why you are lacking in these areas.  It is possible that it reaches all the way back to your childhood.

It is easy sometimes for us to forget as we grow up the things that really had a negative impact on us when we were children.  We were not all blessed with the perfect childhood and perfect surroundings but we grew up the best we could with what we were dealt. 

As adults we need to take responsibility for who we are now and start living our dreams, the life we were created for.  Sometimes all it takes is a change of mindset.

I know it sounds a little scary to take responsibility for who we are when it is so much easier to blame someone else for our problems but we must become accountable, it is up to you to become the lovable person you were born to be, not anyone else’s.

We were all born perfect and for Greatness! Now it is up to you to discover what that means to you.  

I think most of us could learn a lesson from Tiffany, we need to discover who we are, what we want out of life and find the courage to take the risk and go for that dream.  Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Self discovery is an amazing and wonderful experience and I would like to help you along your way in anyway I can.  I encourage any feedback you could give me so that I can be of better service to you. If you have a special need that you are struggling with please feel free to let me know and I will be more that happy to listen and to offer some thoughts and insights that I might have that could be of help to you.

Go out there and find your Greatness!

You are Awesome!

Live, Laugh, Love,
