These Law of Attraction insights from Will Smith include the wisdom to KEEP IT SIMPLE. He also says:“Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity”.
At the end of the day: separate talent and skill. Work at it, dedicate yourself to being better every single day. Develop your skills.
“I have a great time with my life…and I want to share it. I love living…I know who I am and what I believe.”

Only 8 days remain in the Next Top Spiritual Author competition: Round One
What have I learned so far by entering my book You Can Break-Free Fast?
*That asking OUT LOUD for support from those you know is challenging
How do you process the ones that ignore you? How hard do you canvass and follow up on your emails?
* That it feels good to step up and out front with your BIG DREAMS
* That you need to “let go and let God” about outcome
* I have long had a dream of being published by Hay House – so does that mean I am not so committed to this competition with a lesser known publisher? No way. Who knows where the right Agent and Publisher are waiting to spot my entry – or find me in some other way?
Martha Beck talks about the woman who felt lonely for a soul-mate friend and left her book on a plane where it a stranger picked it up, phoned her and you’ve guessed it – became that very friend.
Another self-published author gave her book as a present and it was left on a park bench where… guess what? – the man who became her agent found it?
In a previous post and emails I compared myself to Susan Boyle. At least one person who knows me said it was “sad” that I thought so little of myself. Hey – what do you think? I see it differently. But it made me pause and reflect – what do I really think about myself?
Answer: I’m a first time baby boomer self help author coming “from unknown” to recognition. And expression of my talents.
Where is my self-worth pegged?

Susan Boyle – why does her story appeal to millions of us so powerfully?
Because she took a risk to follow her heart and enter the You Got Talent competition last year. Over 40 and by no means a model beauty. But shining from inside and with a voice to match.
Because she was an outsider – not particularly attractive nor assertive by nature.
Because she came second but won our hearts and lucrative contracts to showcase her singing.
Yes she was gifted with a voice. But more than that came the desire to fan a burning desire and fulfill her wildest dreams. Her nervous system was not primed for stardom and the stresses of the You’ve Got Talent Competition. But she did it anyway.
Ask yourself – what excuses are you still telling yourself about a deeply held dream in YOUR heart right now?
Take one risk today towards it.
I did that this week when I entered the Next Top Spiritual Author competition along with thousands of others.
Why? Because I BELIEVE in my message and in giving my book the best shot I can. I’m older than Susan Boyle. But taking a shot at being a best-selling author based on you heart-felt message is good enough for me to push on with my dream.
ONLY a few DAYS LEFT for me TO QUALIFY IN ROUND ONE
Will you support me please? In my own dream to break free? All I ask is two clicks of your mouse and the time it takes to vote here: http://www.NextTopAuthor.com/?aid=2888
