“Never suppress your greatness because you don’t want an insecure person to feel worse. You never know when that person will be catalyzed by seeing something they want and declaring that their life will never be the same.”
- Jared Yellin
Suppressing greatness is a real issue…
Children are told not to “show off”...
Adults often feel that talking about themselves is a turn off...
Far too many people are not making their unique skills, accomplishments, and hero attributes known…
And typically the reason for this decision is conditioned beliefs…
Stop being a braggart…
Stop being showy…
Stop being arrogant…
Stop lifting yourself up because it makes others who don’t have what you have feel less…
But…
WHAT IF your showcase became the reason why someone stepped out of their story?
WHAT IF your accomplishments made someone else realize they can do it too?
WHAT IF your impact becomes the catalyst for someone else to step into their flame?
Listen…
I can’t express how much it irks me when people show their fancy cars, watches, private jets, etc. IF (and only IF) those “things” are just for show…
Rented…
Borrowed…
Begged for a picture…
BUT if those “things” are the result of hard work, helping others, and some financial wins - SHOW ‘EM because they might just make someone else realize THEY CAN TOO!
Personally, I don’t enjoy showing my “things” because they are not important to me, but what do I enjoy sharing is my FREEDOM.
Parenting
Time
Career
Geographic
Financial
Health
Etc.
And I am not sharing this for ANYONE to feel worse about themselves if they don’t have what I have, but rather, I want you to see an example of someone who was given nothing, earned everything, and simply made A CHOICE, A DECISION, AND BACKED ALL OF THIS WITH INSANE ACTION!
Some would say I have made massive compromises in certain areas of my life years ago…
For example - socially! When my friends would party, I was sitting at home writing, analyzing, and launching things that matter to me. Zero judgement - this was my choice - and personally I don’t feel like I compromised anything AND it’s the reason I have what I have today.
And YES, I want to scream from the moon…
LOOK AT ME
LOOK AT ME
LOOK AT ME
But once again, NOT so you feel less about who you are, but rather so you can see an example where parts of my life might resonate with you, and because of my SHOWCASE, you are now committed to making the CHOICE to have what YOU want.
And I am 100% aware that when I show my FREEDOM, it irks certain people…
AND AND AND - I am 100% okay irking those people because my intent is RIGHT…
I want the people who are ready, but don’t know it yet, to realize they CAN!
Every odd was stacked against me and I have what I have and so can YOU!
This is not a pep-talk…
This is not a hype session…
This is not motivational banter…
This is about seeing an EXAMPLE who is unapologetically being himself…
AND, I know other people who do the same thing but differently…
They show their cars…
They show their houses..
They show their jewelry…
They show their material items…
And I know these people personally…
They are NOT showing this to SHOW OFF but rather to SHOW WHAT’S POSSIBLE!
And for every dozen people who are turned off due to their own insecurity, there is ONE that is turned on and is now ready...
Running a 4-minute mile was considered IMPOSSIBLE until Roger Bannister did it in 1954 and since that day 1,000’s of others have done it as well.
WHAT IF Roger kept it a secret?
WHAT IF he ran his 4-minute mile on a side street in a small town?
WHAT IF the Wright Brothers decided to keep their invention (the plane) hush hush?
WHAT IF JK Rowling decided to keep her genius to herself?
WHAT IF Walt Disney kept his vision small?
Now it’s your turn…
If you “HAVE IT ALL” based on your standards - SCREAM FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
Whether this is your health, relationships, finances, careers, or anything where you feel like you are WINNING!
And if you “DON’T HAVE IT ALL” I encourage you NOT to tune me out or anyone else who is SHOWCASING their lives because none of us are doing it to make you feel LESS, but rather we want you to see an example of how you can have MORE and ultimately have YOUR all!
Never suppress your greatness…
Never hide your wins…
Never hold back your successes…
Someone needs to see it and I am positive they will when you share...
Live with Intention,
