Being you



So many people want to be somebody else. I can’t figure this out because everyone us has something that so different than anyone else, maybe is because some people have not found what make them so unique.

As speaker I not only speak to others but get hear many speakers want to be. I love hearing the very natural ones. Yes they are prepared but most important they project them self. What I mean by this they are them self and it shows. I can’t tell you how many times I heard speaking coaches say “relax and be yourself”.

Being you sounds so easy and it is. If you find it hard let’s take a look at how you can find out about whom you are. Start going over things you like then look at the things you are good at. It is not hard so do it. Grab a piece of paper and start now. Don’t’ start judging your ideas, just make the list. One for what you like to do and the other what you do best. Stop reading and start the list.

OK you have list. Now start to rank the things on the list. Put the things you do best and like most at the top and continue to ranking all the items. Just look at it. Now look at what ranked the best of what you do and do the best.. You don’t need an answer right away. Sleep on it or what I do and wait till my thoughts crystallize. Than out of nowhere bam good ideas strike.

Write the ideas down as soon as possible. What you will find is that you have something that no one as has. This is the start of being you. Now you don’t have to be someone else because now you can be that very special person, you.

I’ll bet, and I am not a betting person, that if you work on what you like and do best, some good things will start to happen. One thing for sure you will have gained some will needed self-confidence. Also you will start to see in yourself the real you and like it.

Being you is the only way to go.
