A Note from the Publisher

Our lives are often swept along by the duties and responsibilities we have assumed. We don't have time to reflect on the course of our lives. If your obligations and commitments seem to control your life, I think you'll find these observations useful.

While these random reflections might seem more appropriate in a personal growth newsletter they all have a very real bearing on your career and life.

Best regards,
 
Michael
 
Reflections on Your Greatness
by Michael Dalton Johnson
You are great.  You are far greater than you imagine. You are a unique entity given the power to create your own life. When you look outside yourself for self-definition you are giving your power away. However, when you understand and accept that you alone possess the power to define yourself and your life, there are dramatic changes. You will find new clarity, focus and confidence. You'll also find that using this incredible gift is both exhilarating and challenging.

You are in charge.  Think of your life as a movie. You are the writer, director, producer and star. You choose your co-stars and extras. Whether the movie is a smash or a flop is in your hands.

Your thoughts determine your outcomes.  This is one of the great mysteries. There are a lot of theories about this phenomenon but no one really knows how it works. However, it does work and reveals the astonishing power of your thoughts.  If you think you are average, you are. If you think you can't win, you won't. Conversely, if you see yourself succeeding, you will. If you expect great things to come to your life, they're on their way.

You bring others with you. Your courage and confidence to examine your life and make changes will have a profound effect on those around you. When you lift yourself up, others are lifted up too.

Your life. Your responsibility. The first and most important rule is to take responsibility for everything that happens in your life. Following this rule puts you in command.  Winston Churchill said, "The price of greatness is responsibility."  While I'm certain he was talking about fighting wars and leading nations, his statement applies to your life as well.
 
You have the power. Life will inevitably send you your share of setbacks, problems, disappointments and losses. These things are beyond your control. How you react to them is not. Listen to the voice within you and realize you have a choice. You have the greatness to persevere, to forgive, to smile, to lift yourself and others up and to move on.
