Finally, Brown urges people to “shake off their mediocrity” and “live up to their greatness.” Indeed. These quotes remind me of Tony Robbins. In Get the Edge, Robbins stated that we tend to settle and that we settle because of the stories we tell ourselves explaining why we can’t have the lives we dream of.

Does “living our fears” resonate with you?” Today, begin to refuse fear; you deserve to live in joy and love.

Does “shake off mediocrity” resonate with you? Today, begin to refuse the urge to settle or lower your standards. Today, begin to tell yourself that you DO deserve the life of your dreams. Allow yourself to live your dreams. Today, begin demanding more of yourself, and “live up to [your] greatness.”

You great? Of course you are great. “You are a miracle.” ~ Rumi

Mr. Les Brown, thank you for your example and for reminding us to live our dreams.
