Do you feel limited ?...

Folks , Do you  feel limited ? 

You may think that achievements are only done by special people, better
people. 

But what makes those who achieve greatness excel isn't necessarily
extraordinary talent or brains or aptitude but rather the fact that they are
willing to go out and do  something with what they have got. 

It is attitude. 

It is action.

Would you like to do things that seem to be impossible to you ?  

Do you feel that Circumstances are against you?

Country superstar Shania Twain grew up poor. At 22, her  parents were killed
in a car crash. Her first CD bombed. Her second sold 9 million copies.

Nelson Mandela spent 30 years in prison before becoming the President of
South Africa.

Tommy Hilfiger started his business by selling jeans from the trunk of his
car.

                      
In 1962, Decca Records wouldn't give the Beatles a recording contract.

Twenty-three publishers rejected Theodore Geisel, "Dr.Seuss," before his
first book was accepted.Tom 

 
Ruth Fertel had two small boys and a low paying job when her husband left.
She mortgaged her house to start a small restaurant.Her chain of Ruth's
Chris Steak Houses is now nationally respected.

Ray Kroc was fifty-two when he bought the McDonald brothers' hamburger stand
and Colonel Sanders began his chain when he was in his mid-sixties.

Do you feel that you don't have that dream personality to do it ?


Glenn Cunningham's legs were burned so badly that he was told that he would
never walk again. He won an Olympic gold medal in track.

Max Cleland stepped on a mine in Vietnam and lost an arm and two legs. He
went on to become the youngest person to administer the U.S. Veterans
Administration and was the first Vietnam  veteran to head the agency. He is
now a United States Senator. 

Eddie Timanus lost his eyesight to retinoblastoma tumors at age  2. He
became a sports reporter for USA Today and a champion  on the TV quiz show
Jeopardy.

As a child, Wilma Rudolph caught pneumonia and scarlet fever leaving her
with a crippled left leg. She later won three Olympic gold medals in track.

Helen Keller was blind and deaf. She became a teacher, a  writer and an
inspiration to millions. 

Jackie Joyner-Kersee came from an impoverished background. Her family life
was traumatic. Her mother died. She had asthma. Yet she has won seven
Olympic medals.

Heather Whitestone is deaf and yet became the 1995 Miss America.


Do you feel that people with special education can only acheive ?

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to go into business writing computer
software.

Winston Churchill graduated last in his college class.

Elvis got an F in music.

Les Brown, the great motivational speaker, was labeled  "educable mentally
retarded" in grade school.

Muriel Seibert was the first woman to make one billion dollars and she only
had a high school diploma.

Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines, with a net worth estimated at $1.9
billion, dropped out of high school.

Stephen Spielberg was an unknown C student in high school.

Thomas Edison had only three months of formal education.

Sean Connery quit school at age 13 with a sixth grade  education. One of his
early jobs was polishing coffins. His first acting coach told him that he
needed more schooling. That day, he  picked up a book and started reading
and has never stopped.

Do you feel that you are shy and too nervous ?

In 1965 Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek were Trying to get their new band, The
Doors, started by playing in small clubs around LA.There were just two
problems - the audiences hated them and  Morrison couldn't face the
audience. 

It was much more than being nervous or reluctant to go onstage. 

He literally could not face the audience while he was performing. He would
sing while facing the blank wall at the back of the stage giving the
audience a clear view of the back of his head!

To  avoid this embarrassing scene, Ray would do most of the singing. Yet,
Ray knew that it was Morrison who was blessed with  the extraordinary
singing talent. It was Morrison's voice that could  turn around the
hostility of the crowds. Ray was certain that if he kept pestering Morrison
to connect and keep practicing that they would eventually find their
audience and success. He did keep practicing. By taking action, night after
night and exercising little bits of courage, he was able slowly to overcome
his fear and became an incredible  stage performer able to bring stadiums
full of cheering people to their feet.


 
Would you like to stand as a pillar of strength when those about you are
crumbling?  

Sure you Can . 

Get Charged up. 

Change your thoughts.  Make them stronger.  

You can do it .

Never tell yourself that you can't do this or that.

Never assert negatively that it just isn't possible.

Have faith in yourself and tell yourself that you can .
