9 Days to Christmas: Sense of Humour
By now, you might be on your way to the family. Be very sure that the first thing you pack is your sense of humour.
All the competition you perceive only exists in your head.
The filters through which you view your world will determine where your focus goes. If you view the world as a dangerous and scary place, filled with people who are out to get you, this is the world you will “work against”.
When you believe in your dreams, goals, and yourself, you view the world from a perspective of inspiration. Even when you find obstacles along your path, you will be motivated by the opportunities to find solutions. Your competition will stimulate your imagination and will provide you with an advantage - lessons already learned do not have to be repeated.
Confident people know their strengths and weaknesses. They are motivated to gain the necessary skills and knowledge and are not intimidated by the success of others, but rather are inspired to improve on it. When you fear competition, you think and live small. When you embrace competition, you grow and become innovative.
It all starts with you. Are you ready for your success or do you fear it?
Always remember to be kind to yourself.
