Who do you want to become? What level of success do you want to achieve? What type of person do you want to be? How do you want people to view you?
Growing up we all have that hero figure that we want to be just like. Whether our parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches… whoever it may be. We are all inspired by someone that makes us want to become better individuals. In our work field we all know that one individual that has the amount of success that we would want to have, or someone that has such an amazing fulfilled life that some might dream of having.
You might ask yourself, what type of hero do you want to become like, and how do you become that person?
It’s very simple, matter of fact you won’t believe it. In order to become the person, we want to be, we must start acting like that person. A group of psychologists corrected said” When ONE is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its APPEARANCE”. When you start acting like the person you want to be, your mind and the universe starts working in interesting ways. You start thinking like that person, acting like that person, believing like that person, simply put…. your mind starts to change. Then once you start acting like this person, you start to become like this person. The universe or God, whoever you believe in, starts to send good things toward your way. It sees that you are ready to be that person.

Smile — With Feeling!
Although we live in a digital age that increasingly substitutes technology for human interaction, we are still at our cores very social creatures.
