People often look at a successful individual and think “if only.”  If only I was smart like they are.  If only I had an outgoing personality like them.  If only I looked as good as her.

If only . . . . , then I could have my own business, wow my customers, get that big promotion, be happy.

The fact is that you have what you need to succeed.

A person is successful because he works with what he has.  It isn’t that he doesn’t have faults or weaknesses.  We all have them.  Also, we all have strengths and capabilities.

The problem is that we tend to focus more on what we don’t have than on what we do have.  Be aware of the places in which you may have lack, but don’t dwell on them.  Instead, develop your strong points and put them to use.

If only you would use what you’ve got, then you could live . . . your life to the fullest.
