When you get in touch with and appreciate your true self, you are more likely to see The Law of Attraction bring you what you really want in life or in work. Probably both! Simply put, you are most attractive when you are most yourself. Staying aware of that important fact throughout the typical day is the challenge. Thus the emphasis on journaling to stay in touch with yourself and to enlarge your gratitude for those personal strengths (gifts) that are uniquely yours. Be yourself = be more attractive = get more of what you really want! Tip: How can you tell if you’re staying aware? A smile on your face is usually a good sign! Good stuff Tom!

We're not often encouraged to truly and fully embrace our strengths. To stand up and say "I'm really, really good at ..." and to take true ownership of our gifts is such a gift to ourselves. It's easier, I think, to try and pound away at perceived weaknesses, because it lets us off the hook. "I can't do that, I'm not that good at it." But when we really own our strengths and gifts, we also become responsible for putting them to good use in life. Great blog, I'm glad I visited! Blessings, Andrea Hi Tom,

You certainly understand that while we are trying to be someone other than whom we are, we will never excel. Our only path to greatness lies on the other side of our own uniquely expressed truths. Glad to see you're boldly walking that path with your eye wide open. Clem, It gives me great pleasure to hear you speaking so genuinely.

I think one of the biggest dangers we face as we go through life is the desire to "be" someone else - or perhaps it is more a belief that, in order to succeed in a specific endeavor, that we must become the person that is already successful in it. The problem is, of course, that we lose ourselves. And as we lose ourselves trying to be, or become someone or something else, we also widen the gap between us and our strengths. For a long time, I follwed the advice of "fake it till you make it." Maybe that works for some, but I doubt it. And it certainly didn;t work for me. Because if you're faking it, you're not you, and who are you then? You can't be where you're not, and you can;t be WHO you're not, either. Ever get the feeling someone is writing something specifically to you? Seriously, with every one of your blog's, I really do think that! That's right...I actually am able to believe that you created this entire blog just to communicate with me! Funny, eh? Seriously, though, I think it's a great indication of how closely your messages are resonating with a lot of people. This is very powerful information to consider.
