Please note that the
above are just a few. There could be many more or could be further divided into
many more groups. But I feel these can help me speak my mind.
The first set is to do
with your intrinsic self. Your inner being , the DNA which is the truth and
which can provide the much needed drive. It is development from within and making changes
internally for self-improvement. This self- improvement can manifest externally
very naturally and go a long way to enhance image. When I say ‘Naturally’, I
mean there is no Need to project something forcibly to indicate the metal you
are made of. These are the attributes that can make you GREAT.
The second set relates to the ‘Dress’ you wear
to project an image. As it is believed that people make judgements based on the
impressions they get from the exterior. Therefore these are ‘supportive’ and
can ‘help’ but not ‘prove’ your true strengths. Sustaining the image is very difficult
if not supported by the attributes of the group A and elements of group C.
The third set consists
of those elements that can to a degree substantiate and prove what your image
projects, but only on some or specific aspects. It makes information on those aspects
more ‘believable’ and ‘authentic’.
Our global economies and societies have
given us greater access to loads of awesome opportunities. Our generation is in
the perfect position to take up these opportunities and be whoever we want to
be. The playing field has been leveled, the winner doesn’t take all (there’s
loads more opportunities if you fail at the first attempt) and we’re better
equipped to rise out from the crowd.
Your image of Greatness well supported
and sustained can equip you to utilize your potential and embrace
opportunities.
Immense introspection is required to understand what
you possess and how do you improve. The discussion continues……..
