Courage to Be Yourself
By Bal Simon, ©2002
Have you ever gotten on board with a program and the person who
sponsored you, or someone in your upline, or even corporate tries
to hammer you into fitting the mold? Have you watched other
people doing it and wondered what's the matter with you?
Especially if they're making money and you're not?
Maybe it's reasonable for you to berate yourself. But before you
do it, give this some thought.
Are your goals really the same as those of others in the
organization, or are your goals, perhaps, a little different? Is
there something about the business you are in that doesn't quite
make sense or doesn't seem as quite ethical as you'd like?
Are you experimenting - to find your own way - even if it means
that until you do, you won't be generating the dollars that you
want?
Think about this, too. Thomas Alva Edison did not invent the
light bulb by getting on board with someone else's program. Rosa
Parks didn't help make things right with a herd mentality. Albert
Einstein didn't invent/discover the Laws of Relativity by
conforming to someone else's ideals. And Madame Curie didn't
discover radium by wondering what was wrong with her.
Whatever genius there is that may reside inside you, it must have
the freedom to live in inner torment, to wrestle with and to
experience the joy of big ideas, to explore in ways not yet paved
with asphalt.
I am not suggesting that you put common sense on hold. Nor am I
suggesting that you stay off of paved roads to success... if
that's where you want to be.
But life is far too short - even if you are immortal - to let
others tell you how to live your life. Advice is great. Modeling
successful people has a place. But LIFE is too precious, and can
be so interesting if you have a desire and can find the courage
to listen to the inner oracle that calls upon you to do great, or
at least bigger, things.
Strive for success, but don't live someone else's dreams. Define
that success in your own terms. For that, my friend, is where the
juice of life is!
