Permission To Be Great!

Good Morning! Let's get the week started correctly. Often times, it is us who stops us from being what we should be... great! Sometimes, we're the ones standing in our own way of success because of negative thoughts. It's like shifting the gears in a car... the only way to go forward is to put the car in drive! Are we putting ourselves in "drive," or are we in "park?" Even worse, are we in "reverse" trying to figure out why we're getting further and further away from our goals? 

Our minds are our gears. If you let negativity run through your mind, you may find yourself going backwards. You may even turn your back to what was once your passion... all because your gears were off. 

Some people say, "I'm not being pessimistic, I'm just a realist!" That's like putting your car in "neutral." You're not really going anywhere quickly. Whether you're getting closer to you goal or further, that's all it is. And it depends on an outside force for which direction you go in! You don't want someone else to control what happens to you! How can you become great if mentally, you're waiting for someone else to make you great? You can't! You'll appear better, but that's the extent. AND, you'll know it wasn't your doing!

When you put your mind in "drive" and you give yourself the permission to be great, that's exactly what happens. You move forward. You go quicker. You may not get there as fast as you like because some people have further to go. But you're zooming to greatness. All because you told yourself you could be. Commit yourself, RIGHT NOW, to allowing yourself to achieve greatness. It starts with your beliefs. Be sure to put the right stuff in your head and let's Mentally Master Monday!
