Why "Good" Must Come Before "Great"

Being overly ambitious sounds like a good quality to have; but caution needs to be given to goals that have been set too high.  It's great to have ambitious goals, but the trick is to know and understand it needs to be accomplished one step (or two steps) at a time.

"If I had a million dollars 

(If I had a million dollars)..."

Ed Robertson/Steven Page

When we don't have five dollars to our names, it's detrimental to do million dollar affirmations and visualizations.  Just as it takes "practice, practice, practice" to get to Carnegie Hall, it takes practice to expand our possibilities and potential for good.  If you had a caregiver that told you over and over again you wouldn't amount to anything, that voice in your head could be limiting your potential.

When we hear to stories of people rising from the ashes to succeed, we don't always get the details of how they overcame their circumstances.  In almost all cases (and I've studied this) the "overcomers" had someone (or multiple someones) in their lives to counteract the person or people who told them they were "no good".

Having the awareness that it is necessary to retrain our inner voices of doom, sadness and unworthiness is essential to success!

Let's make our own nursery rhyme (fingers crossed it gets stuck in your head).....

"Good before great

It's never too late 

To retrain our brains

When deciding our fates

We know that it works

One step at a time

To find our true worth

While learning to shine

We must be supported

On the journey to change 

And we must love ourselves (to)

Expand our "worthiness" range

Knowing this truth

Is the way to achieve

All we desire

But we must, first BELIEVE"
