You Are More

I have something to share with you today that you are going to want to know, and it's worth getting excited about, it's worth going to work for, and it's worth believing in. It doesn?t matter if you are a top producer in our business or a person who is just beginning in AdvoCare, the message is the same for those at both ends of the "result spectrum." You are more than you have become! Perhaps you expected something better? If that's your response, you've missed out on the real magic that transforms people and that transports them to a better place, and that opens new doors to wealth and happiness that have been locked and nailed shut for years. The secret to success has nothing to do with new techniques; special techniques come from special thoughts and special actions taken by those who have first become special people. You already are and already have all that you need for you to get whatever you want. We're all a lot like a package that's gift wrapped and sitting in front of us; we can sit and wonder who put it there, who wrapped it, is it really for us, and what the occasion is and we can wonder what's inside. But like all gifts, analyzing and wondering won't reveal the gift; we have to turn loose of our anxieties and unwrap the package, and that begins with taking the initiative. That's also true of what's inside each of us; we have skills, experiences, ideas, emotions, desires and other capacities, values and assets, but we have to unwrap ourselves so we can discover the special gifts we've been given. We have to put aside the fear of failure, the self-doubts, the lack of true faith, and all the other self-imposed limitations we've put on ourselves over the years and get back to the imaginative, creative and curious person we once were when we were younger. Your current bank balance and circumstances are not an accurate indicator or your true value. You may have made some wrong choices in the past, but those experiences that followed those choices and the circumstances of the moment are not a sign of who you really are. To accept what we have done as having predestined us to remain that way is a major error in judgment. It is in the future that we will find our true calling, and the greatest value of the past is found in how we invest its lessons in the creation of a better future. Success is not "forever" and failure is never "final." You have been guided toward something yet undefined; you are as it was said in the Book of Isaiah - "Behold, I have chosen thee; I have forged thee in the furnace of affliction." You are more, and because you are, you can have more - and you have a great calling; embrace it and move toward your great promise. Climb out of the box that your past has erected and be who you really are deep inside, but to see who you are you must first be willing to look, to accept, and to understand that you are unique in all the world.
