You Are Amazing

Every day I work with amazing people like you, who have beliefs about themselves, which are acting as an obstacle in their lives, or a form of stress, keeping them from their goals or manically motivating them. Many people accept that this is the reality of life, that we ALL have our little insecurities, and any way, if we didn't we would be arrogant, and no one wants to be arrogant, do they?

There seems to be no middle ground between having insecurities that stop us from being the best we can be, and being arrogant, so here's my conclusion. The fear of arrogance is just another reason... alongside I don't have the money, I don't have the time, I'm not good enough, I'm too tired, too busy... you get the drift! Removing limiting beliefs and negative emotions that go round and round our head, and impact our natural behaviour and the results we get, only allows you to be the very best you. Being afraid of change is normal, but look at what you will get when those changes happen? What will it allow you to do, who will you decide to be? Arrogant??

I considered myself shy up until very recently, and that belief certainly impacted on what I got out of life. I was constantly trying to prove myself, to myself! Everyone called me brave for driving around Australia in a camper-van, they saw me living the dream as I set up home in New Zealand, and started up in my dream career whilst painting as a hobby in my house over looking the lake - but internally life wasn't like that. I was still looking for something, still comparing to others, still having negative thoughts and insecurities. And then I had my own personal breakthrough... I gave up smoking without thought, took up running with ease, was approached by a publisher to write a book. My mind was clear and things just seemed to happen when I needed them to.

In training, I had to create a picture to know that I was good enough, and for some reason me on a surf board popped into my mind. Now, I am not a strong swimmer, so have always admired surfers, but saw it more as a metaphor, you know, riding the waves of life and all that, I had no intention to surf! 3 months later I found myself standing up on a surfboard, riding an actual wave, and although I caught that wave because I had friends behind me, pushing me to catch that wave, I stood up and kept my balance - now that's a metaphor!

I tell you these things, not to show off, or be arrogant, but to share with you my story in a hope to inspire you to be the very best you. It is possible to be amazing without being arrogant, and it is possible to live life without crappy internal thoughts and feelings constantly keeping us in a place of 'not bad', and in case you were wondering, you are so much more than good enough.

You're amazing.
