5. 1. Who are You?
• "I Am Not My Hair" is a song by
American soul-R&B singer India
Arie from her third studio album,
Testimony: Vol. 1, Life &
Relationship (2006).
7. • I am not my colour, my skin, my parents,
my community, my mistakes, my
economics and/or my financial situation
(status), my outside, etc.
• I am who I want to be, and therefore, what
I am is my decision, my responsibility, my
choice, my dream.
• And if I want to, I can change it through a
‘one minute’ split decision, just like that.
• I am what I want to be.
8. 2. Jack Canfield's Success
Principles
• The first Success Principle in the book is TAKE
100% RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE!
• No one owes you anything; you are not entitled
to a free ride at work, at home, in school, on the
playing field …whatever your playing field may
be, or in your relationships with others or with
your Creator.
9. • What you receive are gifts, what you do
with those gifts is up to you, be them
financial, spiritual, intangible or tangible.
• Some of those gifts may have double edges
but they are still a viable source of learning
and growing and accepting what this life has
in store for you, at full face value and riding
it through to the end.
10. 3. No One Owes You As Much
As You Owe Yourself
• During my travels, I’ve been well blessed to
have met people from different nationalities,
cultures, races, ethnicities, and any other
grouping you’d like to consider and regardless
of their differences, I find nearly everyone is
looking for happiness.
• After all, what is life without a bit of happiness?
• However, another common thread seems to
be running through the lives of so many as
well.
11. • They’re looking to be repaid for some type of
offense committed against them, real or
imagined; either way they feel they’re owed
something.
• Indeed, there’s a debt to be paid or some
reason to get even.
• For some it’s their parents who couldn’t
afford to send them to university or buy them
their first car, jacket, etc. when times were
hard.
• For others it may be a spouse or a loved one
whom they feel betrayed their trust.
12. • Still for others it may be a brother or sister or
friend who offended them in some shape or
form, knowingly or unknowingly.
• This debt or grudge, real or perceived, is
carried through life for years.
• And over the course of years, resentment,
anger, and frustration attaches itself to this
debt.
• Oftentimes, these bitter roots spill over or
entwine themselves in other areas of their lives.
• I’m sure you know the type; the angry at the
world, ill-tempered person, who’s just a “joy” to
be around.
15. 4. The pursuit of happyness (2006)
– Will Smith
• Don’t ever let somebody tell you that you
can’t do something.
• Not even me. Okay.
• You got a dream. You got to protect it.
• People can’t do something themselves
• They want to tell you that you can’t do it.
• You want something.
• Got get it. Period.
17. 5. Our deepest fear –
Marianne Williamson
• Our deepest fear is not that we
are inadequate.
• Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure.
• It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
18. • We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and
fabulous?”
• ”Actually, who are you not to be?
• Your playing small doesn’t serve the
world.
• There’s nothing enlightened about
shrinking … so that other people won’t
feel insecure around you.
19. • We were born to make manifest the
glory that is within us.
• It’s not just in some of us; it’s in
everyone.
• And as we let our own light shine, … we
unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
• As we are liberated from our own fear,
… our presence automatically liberates
others.
23. Muhammad Ali – Hard Work
“The fight is won or lost far
away from witnesses –
behind the lines, in the
gym, and out there on the
road, long before I dance
under those lights.”
