I would like to continue this week with the same conversation that we have been having over the last few weeks. A discussion about this great book that has very much changed my life. If you have never read “ The Greatest Salesman in the world” by Og Mandino you really should. It will change how you look at yourself and the world. He spends a whole chapter talking about how we have to be ourselves. and we should be happy that we are different from everyone else and we should never try to be someone other than ourselves.
In his book he writes:
I AM NATURE'S GREATEST MIRACLE
Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my eyes, my
ears, my hands, my hair, my mouth None that came before , none that that live
today and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly
like me. All men are my brothers yet I am different from each.I AM A UNIQUE
CREATURE
I AM NATURE’S GREATEST MIRACLE
Although I am of the Animal Kingdom, animal rewards do not satisfy me. Within me burns a flame which has been passed on from generations uncounted and its heat is a constant irritation to my spirit to become better than I am, and I will I will fan this flame of disatisfaction and proclaim my uniqueness to the world None can duplicate my brush strokes, none can make my chisel marks, none can duplicate my handwriting, none can produce my child, and in truth none has the ability to sell exactly as I. Henceforth I will capitalize on this difference for it is an asset to be promoted to the fullest .
I AM NATURE'S GREATEST MIRACLE
Vain attempts to imitate others no longer will I make. Instead I will place my uniqueness on display in the market place. I will proclaim it Yea I will Sell It. I will begin now to accent my Differences; hide my similarities. So too will I apply this principle to the goods I sell. Saleman and goods Different from All Others, and proud of the difference
I AM A UNIQUE CREATURE OF NATURE
I am rare, and there is value in all rarity therefore I AM VALUABLE. I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore I am better equipped in both mind and body than all of the emperors and wise men who preceded me. But my skills, my mind, my heart and my body will stagnate and rot and die lest I put them to good use. I have UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. Only a small portion of my brain do I employ; only a paltry amount of my muscles do I flex A hundredfold or more can I increase my accomplishments of yesterday and this I will do beginning today. Nevermore will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I indulge, anymore self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more that I have and I will, for why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth?Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of Today
I AM NATURE’S GREATEST MIRACLE
I am not on this earth by chance. I am Here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a Mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth I will apply all of my efforts to become the highest mountain and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
As always He can say the words much better than I can. I hope that as you walk through life this week. You realize that the only person you need to be in your life is YOU.
LOVE AND LIGHT
MICHAEL
