Perception is everything. Yeah, outcomes are important. Results are relevant. But, perception…perception is everything. Perception causes a chain reaction. A domino effect in the realms of your dreams. Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” This holds true. Whatever you believe about what you are capable of, you are right.
When you do not believe in yourself, you don’t put in the work. Why not? Because you believe it to be a waste of time. Why do all that work for nothing, right? When you don’t put in the work, you don’t get the results. Therefore, when you believed you couldn’t achieve whatever goals or dreams you may have once had, you were absolutely right. Let’s explore the opposite. When you believe that you are capable of great things, even if you only believe this with a fraction of your being, you find the desire to do the hard work necessary to achieve greatness. You have motivation. You accomplish tasks with spirited fervor. You have the mindset of a champion. You do the work and you reap the rewards.
Now, is this to say that just because you have a positive attitude and a warrior spirit, that you will always succeed at everything you try to do? No. We know better than this. However, those who keep a positive attitude toward reaching their goals learn how to adjust. They bounce back with a quickness. They see where and how they made mistakes and they redirect their focus toward how to overcome those same obstacles when they try again. They brush their shoulders off, lift their head to the sky, and put one foot in front of the other.
Attitude is everything. You can have all the potential in the world, but if you don’t unwrap your gift, how will you ever utilize it? The first step is realizing that you have something to offer to the world. Unwrap your gift today, friends. Don’t let all that awesomeness go to waste!
Here’s to unlocking the potential inside ourselves,
