One of our biggest downfalls is comparing ourselves to other people. Don’t think you have to follow someone else’s footsteps. You are unique and often finding your own way on the road less traveled, leads to great success.

Everyone has something they’re good at. Sometimes it’s just a matter of figuring it out. This week, dive deep and see what your special talent is and put it to work.

Sometimes we stand in our own way. Write something positive about yourself and put it someplace you can see it each day. When self-doubt creeps into your thoughts, remember the positive thing you said about yourself.

It’s a new month, a new season so sweep away thoughts that aren’t serving you. Start this season with determination to reach your goals. Let’s finish this year strong.

We often think I’ll be happy if this changes, if this didn’t happen etc. Be grateful, look at all the pluses in your life, what a wonderful person you are, and happiness will follow.

Don’t think I can’t do it. Don’t think I’m not smart enough. Don’t think you don’t have enough money or education. We all have our own skills and talents. Use yours and be bold.

We see other’s success and think they arrived there overnight. We get impatient, frustrated and give up. Success takes time. Take it slow, stay patient and success will follow.

Did you fail at something, keeping to a budget or opening a business? A common cause is you gave up too early. Nothing is easy, everything worthwhile takes time and bumps in the road. If you’ve given up on something, think about trying it one more time.

Before others can believe in you, you have to believe in yourself.
