Being Someone You’re Not

The biggest mistakes I’ve made
in my professional life
have occurred
because I took on projects
I didn’t truly believe in
and
I knew I wasn’t suited
to participate in.

It was idiotic of me
to say ‘yes’
because there were
hundreds, thousands
of other opportunities
that I was perfect for.
I should have had the balls
to say ‘no’,
to wait.

Dr. Henry Cloud
shares

“Successful people never again…”

“2. Do anything that requires them
to be someone they are not.

In everything we do,
we have to ask ourselves,
“Why am I doing this?
Am I suited for it?
Does it fit me?
Is it sustainable?”
If the answer is
no to any of these questions,
you better have a very good reason
to proceed.”

Don’t try to be someone
you’re not.
You’ll never be as good
as someone
who is truly that type of person
and there are
plenty of opportunities
where you can be you
and succeed.
