Being Your Best

Seems like a good time to share this blog post.  Nov 2020

 

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.  Small people do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can somehow become great.  – Mark Twain

I found this recently in my collection of quotes and other interesting things.  It was written by Christian D. Larson.


Promise Yourself:


To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.


To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.


To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.


To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.


To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.


To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.


To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.


To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.


To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.


To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.


To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds.


To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.


As Jim Rohn said – “Look at each day as a chance to invest life into life.  A chance to share your experience and deposit it into someone else’s conscience.  Each day is a chance to work miracles in the lives of others.”


Ideas for speech topics are everywhere.  Look around you and let your eyes rest on a number of different things.  For each thing come up with two or three ways they can be used or how they impact your life.  For instance, your kitchen table – what do you do at it besides eat?  Is it a place for gathering family and friens to engage in conversation, games, puzzles, etc?  What about your couch?  A place to nap, watch tv, take the cushions off to build forts?  You get the picture.  Get creative and get speaking.


To your speaking success
