You
are of the highest importance to yourself. If God is in all of us, that
means you are a piece of God. You can create, maintain, and elevate to
your best insights.
You
are unique. Even if you weren’t born alone, you are still one of a kind.
No one feels for you the way you do. Go to a quiet place and listen to
your breathing…and think of the miracle that compels you to act on your
own. Imagine the force that drives you…and be in awe!
You
have the power to motivate yourself, even in the darkest, grimmest
situations. If you’ve ever read Viktor E. Frankl’s “Man’s Search for
Meaning,” you must know that even when stripped from all your external
dignity, you can maintain a deep belief in yourself…and get through
everything.
You
have the power of “relativity”, and, hence, you can retaliate when you’ve
experienced a bad, threatening, humiliating, or even an elating
experience, and see it in the right perspective when the first sensations
have subsided. Being able to see the bigger picture will keep you down to
earth.
You
can communicate with everything and everybody, if you want to. Where words
are inapplicable, gestures, touches, eye contact, mind contact, and heart
contact are among the scope of possibilities.
You
can learn everything…if you’re interested enough. As long as the drive is
there, as long as you really want it, you can! No one should be pushing
you for it, though. It has to be your own choice…your own will.
You
possess the power of imagination. You can foresee things, and take
precautions if you feel that they’re necessary. You can execute every
possible scenario, once you’ve used your mind's eye to put it together.
It’s this particular gift within you, that enables you to picture future
situations, possible responses, and, hence, successes!
You have the ability to prove everyone
else wrong when it regards yourself…by changing when you feel that you
ought to, for your own good. Just like failure mainly comes from a
negative state of mind, success comes from its positive complement.
External factors are just at your disposal to be used either positively or
negatively. It’s up to you!
You
can show the world something you don’t feel…by smiling when you feel like
crying, and by living when you feel like dying. You are the master of your
life’s performance. You are the sole proprietor of “You, Inc.” You are the
author of your mission and vision, and you live them!
You
are a genius! You only have to find out where your brilliance lies…and you
actually already know it…if you just listen to yourself!
