"I am the Greatest!" That was, and probably still is, the claim
of Muhammad Ali. In 1964, before his famous fight with Sonny
Liston, Ali was laughed at by the press. Nobody laughed after he
won. Later, he started predicting the round in which he would
knock out his opponent. As we know, winners win because they
expect to win. Ali didn't have a crystal ball. He had the power
of affirmation. He affirmed, "I am the greatest!" Not "I am one
of the great ones." Not "I'm close to being great." Not even, "In
a year, I'll be great." He stated his greatness boldly in the
present, without a disclaimer. The unconscious mind only
understands the present.

How do you define yourself? Are you "OK?" Are you "Pretty good?"

When will you achieve that goal? When "the time is right?" When
you're "ready?" When you're married, divorced, retired, after you
have kids, after the kids have grown, when the economy gets
better, when you start school, when you finish school, when you
buy a house, when you sell a house, when you get out of debt,
when you start a business, get an inheritance? When?

Do you see that there will ALWAYS be an excuse as long as YOU
want one? There will ALWAYS be a reason for putting off your
greatness. Meanwhile, your life is happening NOW.

Snap out of it now and be "the greatest" right NOW. Start living
that life you dream about. You know the dream...the one in which
you stand up for yourself, you act confidently, you live life on
your terms. I wonder what would happen if you affirmed your
greatness and goal to everyone you met for the next week:

"I am eating foods i enjoy and that serve my purpose."

"I'm the motivated to achieve my goal."

"I feel full most of the time."

Here's what will happen...It will become reality. Because believe
it or not, reality only exists in your mind. And once it expands
from your mind, it becomes part of other people's minds, part of
their reality. Whatever you are, BE the greatest and believe in
yourself.
Affirm it to yourself and your unconscious mind and the minds of
others will take it as fact and make it so.

Remember your unconscious does not know the difference between
what is imagined and what is real.
