Seriously,
who calls the shots?
|
The
lesser you looks and sees the ordinary in everything.
The
greater you looks and sees the extraordinary in everything
The
lesser you feels today is going to be just another day.
The
greater you sees you have the potential to make every day a very special day
The
lesser you thinks that only a miracle can change who you are, and the circumstances you are in.
The
greater you goes out and makes those miracles happen
The
lesser you thinks of all the things you have going against you.
The
greater you thinks of all the things you have going for you
The
lesser you fears the forces against you are too strong.
The
greater you knows even the strongest forces can be overcome with a plan and a strong will
The
lesser you frets about a lack of resources.
The
greater you finds ways to overcome what you lack by being resourceful
The
lesser you goes into situations expecting to lose.
The
greater you goes into situations intending to win
The
lesser you turns your back on your dreams and commitments at the slightest difficulty.
The
greater you keeps going even in choppy waters
The
lesser you shrivels at the slightest criticism.
The
greater you grows with every criticism you receive.
The
lesser you feels a sense of doom at every loss.
The
greater you never loses faith in the belief everything will turn out right in the end
The
lesser you is willing to give an idea, dream, or vision only so much and no
more.
The
greater you is willing to give it your all
The
lesser you wants fast results and immediate success
The
greater you knows worthwhile goals are rarely accomplished overnight
The
lesser you scatters your energies.
The
greater you focuses your energies for maximum impact
The
lesser you lists reasons why it's no use to go on.
The
greater you lists reasons why you must go on
In every situation, you have two choices….let the lesser you think, speak and act, or let the greater you think, speak and act.
Only one can be the boss.
Go with
the right boss – the greater you.
