Underestimate

Underestimate

I have had a good friend tell me a number of times in the last 2 years that I should stop underestimating myself. I guess he has told me enough times for me to really start thinking about it. This week Taylor Richards also counseled that we should not underestimate ourselves. He qualified this statement by saying that if we involve the Lord we can do great things. He also said it not much harder for someone to move from being good to great. This made me think about myself. Am I good at the moment and what will it take to be great? This statement makes perfect sense because once you are good at something you have put in the long hours to master something. Most of the choices have been made and even the risks have been taken. Thinking about it being great is a fairly small step from being great. 

These thoughts tied in nicely with what Jim Richards said this week about understanding our own emotional fingerprint. Just as I have become more aware of what may be causing me to underestimate myself. I have and continue to try understand myself and by so doing I can remove obstacles that I subconsciously put in my own way.
