Self-Appointment
Outcome: My
outcome of this message is to change the belief that you have
to have someone externally appoint you to do anything and realize
that you can easily appoint yourself to get the results you want.
This message is literally priceless if you truly understand it
and apply it to your life.
The more things
we have in our control, the more empowered we are. And
typically, we find ourselves more fulfilled too. So let's begin
to control more things in our lives. And one of those is the notion
of being certified, degreed, appointed, etc. by external sources.
Sure, we need appointment for some things. I like my doctor to
have passed exams and be board certified before he operates on
me. I like my airplane pilots to have licenses before flying me
around.
However, we
often are conditioned to live in the junk trance that says we
have to be externally appointed, certified, or given some recognition
before we can do something. This is NOT true. Think about Edison,
the great inventor. He didn't get an inventor's certificate and
then go on to become the world's greatest inventor. He just did
it.
Think about
Bill Gates. He didn't hang out in school waiting to get a degree
saying he was an expert in computers before starting his company.
He dropped out of college, went for it in a major way, and now
is the richest man around. Who knows if opportunity had slipped
him by if he had stayed in school, waiting to be externally appointed
as an expert?
Think about
Michael Jordan who is arguably the best basketball player ever.
He didn't wait for others to externally designate him as a great
basketball player and then go out and allow his greatness to come
out. Nonsense. He declared in his mind (e.g., self-appointed)
that he was going to be great and worked hard to unleash his greatness
within. It was up to him. Remember, Jordan got cut in the 8th
grade from his basketball team. Had he bought into the idea of
an external personal judging his worthiness, he probably would've
given up and the
world would have lost out on the best basketball player ever.
He didn't buy into that junk hypnosis of someone else deciding,
dictating his fate for him.
As a side
note, I got cut from my 8th grade basketball team too. All my
good friends made the team. I felt bad back then. I bought into
the coach's judgment of my ability. I quit organized basketball
forever. Who would've known what would have happened if I had
not quit or made a different meaning from the coach? I'm not suggesting
I would have been in the NBA yet I bet I could've practiced hard
enough and improved to make the 9th grade team. I believed, "The
coach is an absolute authority so I'm buying into his hypnosis
that I suck as a basketball player. Therefore, I'll quit."
A just as valid trance that would've yielded me better results
is "The coach thought I didn't shoot enough and demonstrate
my ball-playing skill so therefore he could not
justify keeping me on the team. I need to shoot more in tryouts
to show I'm the real deal." Alright, enough of me reliving
my middle-school challenges. Onward...
My point is
that to do something, you don't have to wait on someone else to
certify you, appoint you, give you a degree, etc. Designate yourself.
Here's what I'm going to do for you. This is the LAST certification
you will ever need. I, Kent Sayre, for you having read this message,
am now certifying you as a master at SELF-APPOINTMENT. For those
who are curious, who certified me to certify others to self-appoint
themselves? I appointed myself, of course! You no longer need
anyone's permission to go for it. And when you're doing all sorts
of great things, showing the true greatness within yourself, some
people might ask, "Hey, what's gotten into you? Who gave
you the right to do all this great stuff?" And when they
do, say,
"I did."
Here's to
your unstoppable genius!
