Wednesday Inspiration #8 – Get Inspired by You

“Analyzing what you haven’t got as well as what you have is a necessary ingredient of a career.” -Orison Swett Marden

Here’s an interesting observation…

Early on we are praised for everything. We take a step – Yay! We signal for the potty – Hurray! We color inside the lines – Brilliance! We recite the alphabet – Fantastic! Then we get to school and things change. We become aware of what we don’t know, can’t do, are weak in, not good at, etc…And so starts the internal list we keep of where we fall short and where we don’t measure up to others. There are lots of bright people who never get to unleash their brilliance because they hold onto that list instead of carefully guarding and showcasing the the other list: their strengths.

Your inspiration today: YOU! Make a list of the skills, traits and accomplishments that make you shine.

Hint: Feel like your list is short? Write what you have in really big letters so it takes up the whole page!
