Our minds are so powerful. Many of us think we have grand ideas until we surround ourselves with those who think bigger than we do. I do not see myself shrinking in awe but rather standing taller and leaning forward to listen and learn and play in the big leagues. I am planning to play way bigger than I currently am. Have you ever noticed that people see your greater potential often before you do? Why is that? Put your hand in front of your face….can’t see much right. You are so close to it, it makes it difficult to see your full hand or beyond it.
You probably come up with awesome ideas all the time. Some ideas you may write down and some float off into thin air. There may even be some you execute. And yes, there are some ideas that get your juices flowing that you talk yourself out of. Why? The chatter in your head is telling that you can’t and you mentally wrestle with a quiet voice, almost a whisper saying yes you can.
The “can’t” voice might be saying:
• “It needs to be perfect.”
• “Who would buy that?”
• Do you really think people will pay that much?
• “Who do you think you are?”
• “I can’t make more money than..”
• “What will people say if…”
Challenge the stronger voice – the voice that says “No, you can’t.” The voice that believes in you.
Play in the big leagues:
• Hit a homerun! Imagine yourself sliding into home plate and the crowd is cheering as you have achieved your ultimate goal.
• Quit looking for perfection – be innovative. You are unique in your style and who you are is what people want. If you wait too long, you might miss the opportunity.
• Look inside yourself for the wisdom that others are searching for and share it.
• Believe you deserve it and you are worth it. You are no accident.
• There is enough for everyone.
• Be open to learning from those who have been where you want to go. They want you to grow, and so do I!
• Share your dream with others so others may serve you and be open to receiving all the possibilities.
You can play in the big leagues too. When you shift your mindset from playing in the little leagues to the big leagues, you begin to challenge yourself to new levels. Every time you move up a level, you will meet more teachers to guide and challenge you to step up to your greatness at the plate. Batter UP!
What is your voice telling you? Are you playing as you could be? If not, why?
