Yes, you my friend are great!
Wherever you are, whatever you do, you are great!

You think Ive gone nuts right? No not really, but I started thinking about it today..
Think about all the things that needs to come together and match perfectly for us to be created, and no matter what happends in life, there is only one like us..

Only one person in the world can be you!
And guess what? You are the best in the world at being you!
Therefor, my friend, you are great!

I once coached a young boy, he was slightly overweight and had no selfesteem at all.
He was clumsy with the ball and had no speed.
Every time he was put on the field to play a game he basicaally froze, did everything halfhearted and did seem quite lazy too people that saw him.

I started telling him that he had the force inside him to change all that.
You see as a coach, even tho its in youthsoccer, I`m not always kind.
I will tell the truth even when it hurts, and I wont give credit unless its welldeserved.

I could see, somewhere deep inside this young boys eyes that there was a spark..
Somehow it needed to turn into a fire, I knew that I had found a challenge, and I just cant resist a good challenge!
So, the days went by and I noticed that this kid had found trust in me.
Id like to think that its because of the fact that Im honest.

So, I got this kid to trust in me, but the challenge was to make him trust himself.
We had a tournament to play and this guy was one of the selected,
I still remember it clearly. There was a total of four short games to play.
In the first one we did ok, nothing more nothing less. In the second and third one the leaders looked at eachother like who taught these kids to pay like this? Because it wasnt us thats for sure, we lost them both and one was a huge loss, a quite embarissing loss, only because of us playing bad.
In the forth game I told this kid;
"Look ******, I`ve invested my time in you, and you have my trust, this game you better go out there and prove to the world why I trust you, and show them all what a great player you can be".

We won that game, the only one we won all day..
And belive me when I say, he was great!
When he started that game, he fought for me, I know that, but when it ended he had proven to himself that he could do it and that it was time for him to trust himself and his own abilities..

Just by changing how you think, you can achieve alot, trust yourself and you can accomplish even more, the choice is yours..

Take a minute - Think about it!

I have something I do when I wait for a bus for example or is out, around people and dont have anything special to do.
I always try to see the beauty in everyone, and guess what, I always find something beautiful in everyone I see.
It can be something in their eyes, or in their way to move. It can be their smileor something about the way they did their hair. There is always, in every, single person, something beautiful to discover!
The sad part is that it isnt so common that everyone sees the beauty in themselves.
I saw a girl today for example, floating in her own world as she walked down the street, but I could tell that she avoided meeting someone elses looks. Its a classical sign of bad confidence, and this time it felt worse for me to see it then it normally does, why?

She was drop dead gorgeus!
Her jacket was somewhat dirty but other then that, Wow!
Her hair must have been newly dyed and her eyes was as deep as the ocean.
She wasnt tanned, but not pale either. Not skinny but definatly not overweight.
And she had an charisma that was amazing.
Yet she kept looking into the ground as she passed me and others walking down the street.


Here in Sweden we have something called Jante-lagen, Its basically something saying "You should never belive that you are better then anyone else".
And I suppose we all live by it, one way or another.
And its sad. Get me right here, I dont like when people are too cocky but I see a needof more people seeing the beauty within themselves and within others.
The day you do, you will see that life is so much better then you ever could have expected!

I`m not perfect in any way but guess what? I`m totally ok anyways!
I have days when I dont like myself at all, but they aint so many anymore, because somewhere deep inside me, I know I also have beautiful parts.

Take a minute - Think about it!
