See You
Your imagination is extremely powerful.
You are a visual being. Choosing the right images in your mind’s eye is important because your life will move in the direction of your most dominant thoughts. The way you see yourself in your mind’s eye, over time, will drop down into your heart and become your reality. If you’ll create a picture in your imagination of you being a Champion, unstoppable, and relentless, then your life will move in that direction. Every morning, you should wake up and picture yourself succeeding; picture yourself healthy and successful; picture yourself and your family not only being blessed, but being a bigger blessing to others. If you’ll keep the right images in front of you and work your process, you’ll see yourself the way you should. How do you see yourself today?

Let It All Hang Out
How do you recognize a person that is hurting on the inside? How do you know if the person sitting next to you right now is going through a really tough situation? Chances are if you around folk today that most of them are hurting in some way. There is a chance, too, that it could be you.
It can be hard sometimes to know if someone is going through a valley type situation because we hide it so well. We don’t want other to know that we don’t have it all together. We try to keep it a secret and make others think that we are tough. If we tell someone about our hurts, disappointments and fears then they may think less of us. Trust me, when we tell them is not when they find out about it. Most times those that know us already know when we are hurting and they too know fears. Truthfully though, does it really matter if they didn’t know? What if we were to open ourselves up and expose our inner most parts? Is getting all the mess out worse than dealing with them and living with them every day? For me I thought it was better to keep it all in, but I have realized that it is much better to get it out. It is true that you have to be careful who you open up to, but find that person. Talk to your spouse, your parents, a teacher, a coach, a pastor. Find that one person you can talk to and be safe.

Amazing
Most of us think, “There’s nothing amazing about me.
Nothing wonderful. I’m just average. I’m just ordinary.” No, the fact is there is nothing at all ordinary about you! You have a fingerprint that nobody else has. There will never be another you. Even if you have a twin, they don’t have your same personality, your same goals, or your same fingerprints. You are an original. When God made you, He threw away the mold. When you say, “I am wonderful, I am attractive, I am vibrant, I am a Champion,” not only does strength, purpose and success start coming your way, but on the inside rises up. Your self-image begins to improve, and you start carrying yourself like you’re someone special. You no longer drag through the day feeling inferior. You have that spring in your step, that “go after it” attitude. Be the Champion you were designed to be today. Be the difference in someone’s life. Do you believe you are amazing?

Being Secure
Be secure in who you are so that other folks insecurities don’t bring you down.
When you allow what other people do or say dictate how you act; then they are controlling you. Insecure people are threatened by secure people. With this is mind, you have to be strong enough to not allow others to affect your attitude. I meet with people al the time that are so full of anger and hurt because of what someone else did. However, you can’t allow what others do control how you act. This is why being secure in who you are is so important. When someone leaves you out, doesn’t invite you to a party, talks about you behind your back; you never give it a second thought. You don’t show them that it bothers you, because it doesn’t. You flood them with forgiveness and kindness. You take the noble, the high road and do what’s right, no matter how it feels. Being secure is a must for a person of purpose. I encourage you today to step into your full destiny. Be secure in who you are and work on being who you were created to be. Are you secure in yourself?

Success Perspective
Without a doubt, your level of success will raise as your self-image improves.
You will never be any more successful than you see yourself. If you see yourself as a failure, barely getting by, not good enough, then that’s what you will be. However, the opposite is also true. When you turn it around, change your perspective and see yourself as a champion, well able, loved, appreciated, successful then you will be. You may say, “But. Coach, nobody else sees me as a winner. Nobody else says that I am good enough.” How do you see yourself?” Doesn’t matter how others see you. What matters the most is how you see yourself. What is your perspective of yourself. God created you for greatness. It may be greatness in your home only or it may be greatness for the world to see. Don’t concern yourself with who sees or knows. Be the person that you were created to be today. See yourself as a person of destiny. Know that you are full of purpose. How do you see yourself today?

Who Not Do
The people who find their identity in what they do, are the ones who struggle with life. The person who knows God loves them, life is good.

Have you ever noticed that when you ask someone “Who are you?” a lot of times they’ll say, “I’m a salesman.” “I’m a teacher.” “I’m a coach.” “I’m a teacher.” Many people find their identity in what they do. The problem with this kind of thinking is that people identify themselves with their negative habits and strongholds, too. I hear people say, “I’m an alcoholic; I just can’t beat it.” No, that’s not who you are, that’s what you do. But if you keep thinking that way and talking that way, it will become so ingrained on the inside that you’ll convince yourself that it’s true, and it will keep you from rising higher. One time somebody told me, “Scott, I’m an addict.” He was embarrassed by it. He didn’t want to live that way. I told him what I’m telling you, “That’s not who you are. It’s time to start acting like you have a destiny to fulfill.” Do you know who you are today?

Changing Labels
Throughout life, people are constantly sticking labels on you, telling you what you can and cannot become.
You have to remove the negative labels that can keep you from your destiny. People may label you as not good enough, too slow, too old, too many mistakes or wrong nationality, but God labels you strong, talented, valuable, a history maker, well able, and more than good enough. As you remove the old labels–not believing or thinking about them anymore–the bondages that have held you back for years are going to be broken, and insecurity and inferiority are no longer going to have any effect on you. Today, begin to remove the old negative labels and replace them with the positive, correct labels. Don’t answer to the negative label name any longer, but answer to the truth, the correct and positive labels. What is your label saying?

Let Your Light Shine
Most of your fear is not that you are good enough, but that you may be too good.
Your deepest fear is not that you are inadequate. Your deepest fear is that you are powerful beyond measure. It is your light, not your darkness, that most frightens you. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people do not feel insecure around you. You were made to shine as children do. It is not just in some of you. It is in everyone. And as you let your own light shine, you unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As you are liberated from your own fear, your presence automatically liberates others. Are you letting your light shine to the fullest?
