Dare to Be

Being the best version of you and not comparing yourself to others is the essence of excellence.

God made us different for a reason, and gifted everyone with certain qualities and talents to do different tasks and to reach the highest performance in different fields.

We are born to complete each other not to compare ourselves to others, because the comparisons won’t be fair ever as we are born different, gifted with different qualities, raised with different families, having different experiences in life, having different thoughts that are driving us.

We need to cooperate for the good of our lives; we should turn the jealousy to challenge and the envy to a true motive to be better.

And here we will mention some practical tips on how to achieve being the best version of you;

• Love Yourself the Way You Are:
  Loving yourself means, accepting yourself the way you are, even accepting the parts and qualities that you hate in yourself because the change starts from the place of acceptance not from the place of hate, shame 0r Fear of not being loved.

“When you know yourself you are empowered, when you accept yourself you are invincible”
Tina Lifford

• Write your Own Story :
  Stop comparing yourself to others, instead visualize the person you would love to be and plan how you could reach there, and let your focus be achieving the best you can achieve instead of copying someone else.

•  Focus on the Talents and Traits that Make You Unique:
  Plan how you could use your unique talents to reach your goals, think about all the talents you are gifted even if you think it’s minor things like being good at making cupcakes, being patient, decisive or good listener, a lot of jobs needs just these traits and most of the big businesses started with such simple idea and now they are making millions.

•  Block the Negative Committee:
  Stop listening to the negative inner voice, which tells you, “You are not good enough”, switch off the critics inside you, and tune out.
  Success always starts from a place of self-confidence and self-esteem and self-worth, not from a place of defeatism.

• It’s Okay to Make Mistakes:

•  Step Out of Your Comfort Zone:
  Do stuff you are afraid to do, stuff beyond what you think you can do because when you reach your limits, your limits expand.
•  Always Connect with Your Why:
  Connecting with your why will be the reason to keep you going. Always think why you are doing what you are doing.
