Realize that you are a masterpiece. You are one of a kind. You have unique qualities that are yours alone. No one can do what you can do. No one can say what you have to say. Stop wasting your time trying to compare yourself to others. You are not called to fill someone else’s shoes. You are called to be the best that you can be. Your uniqueness is your greatest power, so start tapping into this power. This uniqueness within you is a gift. This is a God-given gift, so it carries a tremendous ability with it.
When you doubt your own ability, it places shackles on your true potential. We all get scared from time to time. How you handle your fears is very important. It is in those moments of fear that you must focus on what is important to you. You become what you think about. By directing your thoughts to your priorities you reinforce your own inner drive. This reminds you of what’s most important. This creates a source of confidence and courage for you. It is courage that gets you through those fearful times. Courage is not the absence of fear but rather doing what you must do despite your fear. Your confidence grows as you get through the challenge.
Please remember that although hundreds or maybe even thousands may have failed before you, this does not mean that you will fail. Your uniqueness is the thing which sets you apart from others and makes the difference. This is because no one else carries what you have into the situation. It’s hard to remember this when you think of how some of the people who have gone before you seemed so much smarter or more confident. But hold onto this truth. This is what will open doors for you when you previously thought your chances were impossible.
Keep your eyes on the prize. Keep your thoughts on the outcome that you want from life. Too many people focus on the things they don’t wish to happen and this only serves to lead them down the wrong path. Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want. Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, focus on what you can do with what you have. Make the most of your inner resources. You were born to succeed. You have unlimited ability. You were meant to soar!
