THE DRIP OF SELF-DISQUALIFICATION

Most of us do not take time to reflect the reality of our situation.

Most of us perceive what we are doing is good enough.

The reality is; this is probably not true.

To be great begins with accepting the truth of the current standards we hold and the current place we are.

We slowly disqualify ourselves from greatness by distorting this reality, thinking we are farther along than we truly are.

We slowly disqualify ourselves from greatness saying, "I'll do it tomorrow."

We slowly disqualify ourselves from greatness by thinking that everything doesn't count.

We slowly disqualify ourselves from greatness by making decisions which taint our integrity and our character.

We slowly disqualify ourselves when we think something is owed to us.

The steady and small drip of self-disqualification becomes a flood of mediocrity, and eventually drowns our chances of greatness.

What is currently slowly disqualifying you from greatness? What standards and habits are stealing your ability to be great?

This week is your week to change. Identify what is drowning your chances of greatness and start today.

Today Work harder.

Today Stay humble, Stay Hungry.

Do it Today, Do it Now.

Today Remember, "Everything Counts."

Today Commit to Do What is Right, What is Good.

Today Expect Nothing, and Be Enthusiastically Grateful for What You have.
