Reflections on Your Greatness
| Guest post by: Michael Johnson |
Article Overview: Our lives are often swept along by the duties and responsibilities we have assumed. We don't have time to reflect on the course of our lives. If your obligations and commitments seem to control your life, I think you'll find these observations useful. While these random reflections might seem more appropriate in a personal growth newsletter they all have a very real bearing on your career and life.

Reflections on Your Greatness
Reflections
on Your Greatness
by Michael Dalton Johnson of Salesdog.com
You are great. You are far greater than you imagine. You are a unique
entity given the power to create your own life. When you look outside yourself
for self-definition you are giving your power away. However, when you
understand and accept that you alone possess the power to define yourself and your
life, there are dramatic changes. You will find new clarity, focus and
confidence. You'll also find that using this incredible gift is both
exhilarating and challenging.
You are in charge. Think of your life as a movie. You are the writer,
director, producer and star. You choose your co-stars and extras. Whether the
movie is a smash or a flop is in your hands.
Your thoughts determine your outcomes. This is one of the great
mysteries. There are a lot of theories about this phenomenon but no one really knows
how it works. However, it does work and reveals the astonishing power of your
thoughts. If you think you are average, you are. If you think you can't
win, you won't. Conversely, if you see yourself succeeding, you will. If you
expect great things to come to your life, they're on their way.
You bring others with you. Your courage and confidence to examine your life and
make changes will have a profound effect on those around you. When you lift
yourself up, others are lifted up too.
Your life. Your responsibility. The first and most important rule is to take
responsibility for everything that happens in your life. Following this rule
puts you in command. Winston Churchill said, "The price of greatness
is responsibility." While I'm certain he was talking about fighting
wars and leading nations, his statement applies to your life as well.
You have the power. Life will inevitably send you your share of setbacks,
problems, disappointments and losses. These things are beyond your control. How
you react to them is not. Listen to the voice within you and realize you have a
choice. You have the greatness to persevere, to forgive, to smile, to lift
yourself and others up and to move on.
