What Can You Be?

A musician must make music,
an artist must paint,
a poet must write,
if he is to be at peace with himself.
What a man can be, he must be.
Abraham Maslow

If you are doing what you really want to do with your life, you are truly blessed. And you have been a blessing to yourself and the world, by knowing your dream and making it happen for you. Be grateful to yourself. Make a joyful noise and applaud yourself.

If you are not doing something that brings you joy and fulfillment, why not? It is never too late to make a change. You might have many situations in your life that would make a change challenging. But you are the only one who can decide that it is too late, and if you have decided that, you have essentially given up.

Change is always possible, and the universe is ready and waiting for you to express your goal and begin to work toward it. The universe will give you all the support you need if you just ask. Then hold the picture of your success in your mind and follow through with right action for its accom-plishment. You can’t go wrong! You will be a better person for it. And the world will be a better place.

Go4It!

Mistaking Arrogance for Confidence

Arrogance results from our inclination to judge our self-worth by comparison with others. Genuinely confident people, on the other hand, are aware of their intrinsic personal strength or merit.

Confidence makes genuine altruism possible. Confident people are free to care for others and fight for their happiness with the hope that it exceeds even their own.

The essential difference between arrogance and confidence is one of quality and origin. Arrogance is needy and dependent on others, derived from comparison with the external. Confidence is free and independent of others, found and cultivated in the self.
