‘A stand-out performer will always have more value than a stand-in.’- Dave Gordon

Why are you here? Why are you doing what you are doing? Are you living your life?

Remember, you are not here to fit in. You are here to become who you were created to be. You are here to live your life, not to imitate other people.

Imitation is a waste of time. Imitation is fake, not real.

You are better than that. If you want to find yourself, you must belong to yourself; you must embrace who you are, no matter what you are going through in your life.

Do not try to be like other people. When you do that, that is when you get trapped in your comfort zone.

Remember that success does not come to those in their comfort zones. So if you want to stand out, you must get out of your comfort zone.

Why is that? Because success is on the other side of your comfort zone. If you want people to see you, if you want people to help you get better, if you want to make your dreams happen, you need other people.

To meet them, you must get out of your safe zone. Will you do it?

How To Earn The Trust Of Others

‘We must do the thing we must before the thing we may. We are unfit for any trust till we can and obey.’- George MacDonald

Without trust, you are not going anywhere. Trust is everything. When it comes to dealing with the world around us, trust is everything.

When it comes to dealing with the unknown, trust is everything.

And when it comes to you, if people don’t trust you, you are going to find it really difficult to succeed alone.No one succeeds alone. Trust makes success possible.

When it comes to other people, don’t worry about them. Instead of worrying about other people, focus on living your values.

People will trust you when you are living your values. Why is that? Because you are not just an ordinary talker; you are a doer. You do what you say you are going to do. When you say you are going to do something, small or big, you actually do it.

That is how you build trust. Words don’t build trust, actions do. You can talk all you like. If you do not support your talk with actions, no one is going to trust you.

Trust is life. To have it, you have got to work really hard for it. Do not say what you are not going to do. If you can’t do something, then don’t even talk about it.

Do not promise what you can’t give. We are human beings. If you do not have something, don’t tell people you have it.

If you can’t do what you say you are going to do, let them know before it is too late.

When you can’t do it, tell them why you can’t. Do not just tell them what they want to hear. If you want them to trust you, you must tell them what they need to hear from you, not from your secretary.

People don’t deal with your secretary. They deal with you. If you want people to trust you, you must first trust yourself.

If not, you ‘are unfit for any trust.’
