Are you totally happy with life as it is? How about with yourself? If you are anything less than TOTALLY satisfied with your own status quo -- I encourage open and wild rebellion!

STOP accepting your limitations. The probability is they don't even belong to you, anyway.

Well maybe your Mom was somewhat right when she told you to "stop acting like an idiot" when you tried to act like her at age five. But does that mean you can't act today? That you don't "have it" -- whatever "it" is!

Or maybe your 6th grade teacher was somewhat right when he told you "can't write," just because you happened to be a terrible speller. Does that mean you don't have any writing skill - although you "wish" you were a writer?

Step 1. Start by understanding that you are NOT the person you think you are. You are NOT that five year old child who was put down for acting like his mother so well that it made her uncomfortable. And you are not that 6th grader who wrote so fast and well that spelling was never an issue.

So why do those old scars stay with us for a lifetime? It's because your subconscious mind is like a 24/7 movie camera. It never stops recording your life -- and takes special note of any event that has an intense emotion attached to it.

Step 2. Realize that deep within you lives a being of great courage and creativity -- a child-like self that delights in exploration, and has unquestioned confidence in itself. That is your REAL self -- your TRUE nature.

Step 3. It's time to rebel against any old memories of limitation. Against scars from criticism. Against denied encouragement and recognition. Just rebel!!!

Get over it!

OK -- so you came to believe that something was wrong with you. That you were somehow imperfect or limited.

Just stop buying into that. It's false, and no longer appropriate for who you really are. That's what is meant by the expression, "You become exactly what, and who, you think you are."

That is, you are NOT a poor writer or an inept actor -- but if you BELIEVE you are, you WILL act in that way.

Step 4. Realize that when you try to improve yourself, you can bet you'll meet with some internal resistance.

Why is this so?

Because change represents the destruction of your present identity. And that powerful subconscious mind of yours is going to bitch ... and resist ... and complain -- and even try to throw you back into the comfort zone of your old familiar limoiting belief system.

Just face your own resistance head on. Remind yourself that the new you is what you WANT to become. Just persist.

Step 5. Absolutely refuse to remain in your comfort zone. Become willing to challenge your assumptions about yourself, and to step right into the face of your fears.

If you feel uncomfortable, that's actually a good sign that you are changing and growing. As Kahlil Gibran (1883 ~ 1931) wrote, "The lust for comfortnters the house as a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master."

Step 6. Don't waste any effort trying to "prove" you have worth. You are who you are -- a totally unique being. You don't have to be a perfect anything (whatever perfect is) to have worth. The only thing "wrong" about you is your incorrect idea that you are "imperfect." So just give it up.

Step 7. Don't waste your time rebelling against what other people "think of you," or their opinions of "what you should do." Target your rebellion against your own imaginary limitations.

This IS YOUR life! Resolve to take full responsibility for making your own decisions, and assume full responsibility for your own success and happiness.

Step 8. Seize the day! Decide what YOU want to do with your life. Listen to your inner voice for guidance and begin to take the steps you know you should take.

Take action. Nothing destroys doubt and fear like action. And if you make some mistakes, that' just a sign you are doing some positive risk taking (the sign of an emerging leader).

Step 9. Embrace the unknown. Part of your self-doubt is created by a fear of the unknown. Erase fear by changing your outlook. "Fear" is simply another word for "adventure."

Step 10. Pay NO attention to the criticism of others. Don't let other people project their own insecurities onto you. Become a risk-taker, and leave other people to their own limitations.

The criticisms of others just reflect their own personal limitations.

Here's something to think about: In 1944 the Director of the Blue Book Modeling Agency rejected Marilyn Monroe, saying: "You'd better learn secretarial work, or else get married."

When Ronald Reagan auditioned for the starring role in the l964's movie, "The Best Man," he was rejected by a key United Artists executive. "Reagan doesn't have the presidential look," the executive said.

So you can see what it makes no sense to listen to the so-called experts. YOU are the one and only expert on your own self, and how well your life is going!

This is a good day to claim your TRUE SELF. Just throw out your chest, open your lungs and roar like a lion.
