Self-Applause

Have you been robbing others of your Greatness and your BLISS because you think it's wrong to show what you're made of? If so, then STOP.

Maybe you've been taught that it's wrong to toot your own horn. But why were horns created in the first place? To alert those who are unaware...to let people around you know:

 

"Hey, I'm here and I've got something important to share, show or tell you about!"

Get rid of your fears and the old-fashioned notion that it's wrong to announce yourself and the talent you have to offer. Get comfortable with your Greatness. Live through your BLISS and learn to keep it going.

To conquer any anxieties that creep inside and prevent you from sharing yourself, print out the following verse. Post it nearby to remind yourself often to toot your horn, and toot it loudly!

Self-Applause

 

Applaud yourself, yes you're allowed

To praise your own gifts, to feel proud

You'd do it for others without any delay

So why not for you; why not start today

 

But be careful; Self-applause is a balancing act

You must raise your own spirit and keep others’ intact

For there’s always the threat of cold conceit

So don’t make others feel bad to make yourself feel complete

 Vow to honor yourself truly and you’ll be amazed

At the love you acquire when you give yourself praise

You’ll create a spark and your light will outshine

Any reservations that threaten to enter your mind

And the bond you create with others throughout

Will attest to the value of life without doubt.
