How can I live out my ambitions...

If, like the young Michael Jordan, you are told that you are ‘too short’ for basketball, ‘be as tall as you want in your thinking’ and start to think tall!

If, like Suzanne Farrell, you do not have the perfect arch and the highest instep for a ballerina, just compensate with the technique and with the expressiveness of your entire body!

If, like Oprah Winfrey, you are demoted from your job as a news anchor because you ‘are not fit for television’, then launch your own TV network!

If, like Paulo Coelho, you ‘have been rejected many times (from publishers to girlfriends)’, think that this will lead you ‘to the best publishers in the world, and to the perfect wife’!

If, like Nicholas James Vujicic, you were born with no arms and no legs, focus on your precious gifts and share them with the world, by becoming a motivational speaker and a father of four.

If, like Simone Biles, first you are considered ‘too athletic’ for artistic gymnastic, then you are seen as a ‘robot’, teach the entire world that it is ok to say ‘no’, and move from being just a game winner to becoming a game changer on the ‘rules’ of sport and life.

Do not stop doing what deep inside you know you should be doing, only because you do not tick all the boxes. Since your ambitions belong to you, they can be realised only if you are true to yourself, show up as the real you, and get rid of the boxes. The real you is not here to be confined in a box, the real you is here to expand!

So, now, complete your own statement: ‘If I …., then I …!’

Then, answer this question: ‘How can I show up more today as the real me?’
If you want any help with this, I am just a message away!
