Own Your Greatness

Confession time - Netflix has sucked me into some pretty dramatic reality television as of late.  

On one particularly spicy episode of Owning Manhattan, Ryan Serhant spoke about the choice we have as leading players in our personal and professional lives.  

He said something to the extent of “You have a choice. You can spend your time being so focused on needing to be noticed for being great or you can be so great that it is effortless to be noticed.” (words may have differed slightly, same sentiment)

That got me thinking - how many times have you obsessed or had anxiety over being overlooked for recognition? Has it ever stopped you from accomplishing something else, something greater?

I know for me, that answer is yes.

But what if we took the power back? Worried less about receiving recognition and more about ME knowing I did my absolutely best work?

Reality is, there are people in your life that will never provide you the attention or praise you’re thirsty for - and, more importantly, that is more of a reflection of them than it is of you or your worth.

Take the power back.

Know your worth.

Own your greatness.

The recognition will come when you stop looking for it.  When it comes, it will be that little something extra that puts a skip in your step.
