Who *are* YOU?

Name five impressive things about yourself.

 

Write them down or just shout them out loud to the room.

 

But here’s the catch — you’re not allowed to list anything you are (i.e., I’m a nice guy, I’m honest), but instead can only list things that you do (i.e., I’ve just been awarded a certificate for volunteering, I make the best curry in Doncaster).

 

If you found that difficult, well, this is for you.

Stop making excuses and do it.

 

The Power to Choose

At any time you can decide to alter the course of your life.

No one can ever take that away from you. You can do what you want to do and be who you want to be. Nature is constantly at work around you. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.

You have the power to choose which impulse you follow.

While your character is formed by your circumstances, your desires can shape those circumstances.

The one thing over which you have absolute control are your own thoughts.It is this that puts you in a position to control your own destiny.

Your greatest power is the power to choose.
