Believe In Your Genius

Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered

- either by themselves or by others. ~ Mark Twain

How do you hold yourself back?  Do you regularly discount the intelligence you have inside you?  Do you put yourself down, to keep from putting yourself out there for others to see?  It is up to you to shine.  You can not achieve nor attain all that you desire when you allow yourself to think you are incapable.  If you hide your true self from others, how will they ever see what you can do in this world.  Those that succeed believe in themselves.  They are not self-doubters.  They do not hide.

AFFIRMATION - say: "I believe in my genius and will be confident to the world."

Confidence

“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.” - Unknown

Stop focusing on other people…those who you think are smarter than you, been doing it longer than you, are better educated than you – it doesn’t matter.  You are who you are and all that you have to offer.  No one else can do what you do, be you or offer what you offer in the same way unique way that you do!  Focus in on your strengths and unique style.  Never discount your own experiences in life.  Even what you might call "limitations" can be a strength- a catapult to be better.   Be proud of who you are - you've earned it!

 

AFFIRMATION - say: "Today, I will celebrate all of who I am and I will never wish for another life, again."

Fight To Be Yourself

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.  ~e.e. cummings, 1955

We often think we have to change who we are to get what we want -friends, lovers, jobs.  We so crave acceptance that we are willing to be false to our true selves.  Adapting to your environment is often wise.  Flexibility is necessary to be strong  but, deep down inside - don't ever stop being your authentic self.  That is where true strength lies.

Affirmation - say: I will strive to be my authentic self, even when I need to be adaptable and it will make me stronger.

Love Yourself First!

You must love yourself in order for others to love you. If you put yourself down, you can make it difficult for others to raise you up or give you a chance. Whether looking for a mate, business partner or new job, you must praise yourself. Confidence and love are communicable and others will catch it!
