YOU are GREAT!
Do you have dreams inside of you that you want to pursue? You know you’ve been born with certain talents and abilities but either the negative voices from within or from others may be pushing those dreams away.
Today is the day that you can see your dreams come to fruition! Other great people in their lives had been told they couldn’t and went on to accomplishing incredible achievements.
But…What if they had stopped? What if they had said somebody said I couldn’t, so I won’t? What if they had listened to those negative voices?
Take a look at these successful people and see how your story can be told one day like theirs---I was told I couldn’t but I did it anyway!
YOU ARE GREAT---BELIEVE IN YOU!
People Who Became Great…
Despite the People Who Told Them They Couldn’t
• Michael Jordan - was cut from his high school basketball team. Michael Jordan quote, "I've failed over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed."
• Albert Einstein - was considered an "unteachable" fool by his early teachers.
• Colonel Sanders (creator of Kentucky Fried Chicken) - was told "No" by over a thousand restaurants for more than a year while he lived in his car trying to sell his chicken recipe before he heard his first “YES”
• Walt Disney - was turned down by over a hundred banks when he tried to get funding to develop Disneyland. He was also fired from his job at a newspaper for "lacking ideas". He also had several bankruptcies before he was able to develop Disneyland.
· Wayne Gretzky - Wayne Gretzky said, "It's kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL.”
• Ludwig van Beethoven - Beethoven's music teacher told him he was a hopeless composer.
• Charles Babbage - he invented the computer in 1837. He was unable to get funding for his device so it never caught on during his lifetime. It wasn't until 1943, long after Baggage's death, that computers really started to take off. How different would the world be today if Babbage had succeeded in popularizing the computer in his day?
You’ve got this! Believe in you and believe in your dreams!
