I often sit and think about who I am and what I have been blessed to do as part of my life's mission and a dominant thought that often crosses my mind is 'I DON'T FIT'. When I listen to the conversations of friends and family or watch the reaction and responses of those within my circle and observe the actions of some of my peers, I frequently conclude 'I JUST DON'T FIT'
I have big dreams, HUGE dreams, I am passionate about making a difference and leaving a legacy, I am compelled to play my part and leave my mark on the lives of the next generation and most of the time it is a challenge to find someone to converse with who feels the way I do. The general topic of conversation (especially among women) is fashion, frustration, 'fun' and what can only be described as 'foolishness'. I do not say this from a place of judgement or condemnation but rather from a place of intrigue and genuine interest. I am interested to discover the physhology and reasoning behind this. I have spent the past few years purposefully paying attention to the mindsets, conversations and actions of those who impact, influence or are in anyway included in my life and have had to make some HARD decisions.
I have decided that only those who are thinking, speaking and acting positively will have any influence on my life. I have concluded that I cannot be average, I will not be mediocre, I will pursue excellence and go on to achieve oustanding success, WHY...because I CAN!!
Yesterday I heard something from a man named Wayne Malcolm who said something that made sense of it all. He said 'EAGLES FLY ALONE'. He explained that there are 4 types of people in the world, 'DUCKS', 'CHICKENS', 'TURKEYS' and 'EAGLES'. Eagles are those who dream big dreams take huge risks and make a marked diference. Eagles are the kings of the sky, they do not fly in flocks, they fly alone. Their road is not easy but their destiny is great! It confirmed to me that this is who I am and gave meaning to the reason why I feel the way I do at times.
At the YES U CAN Master Class my mission is to work with a group of 'EAGLES' who maybe feel the way I do, in that they just don't fit. 'Eagles' who know that they are destined for great things but are finding it difficult to break free from the 'turkeys', 'chickens' and 'ducks' that have been holding them back. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! You can feel it in your bones. You don't think the way the crowd does, you don't dream the same dreams, you don't pursue the same passions. You KNOW that you are an eagle but you have decided to settle for less than the best. Time out for stinking thinking...
2011 is your year to:
Rediscover Yourself (Who are you really ?) - Be who you are.
Reinvent Yourself (What do you really love to do?) - Do what you love.
Reposition Yourself (What do you really want?) - Have what you want.
At the YES U CAN Master Class I will show you how.
Make 2011 the first year of the BEST of your life.
