Yesterday we talked about why most people never become millionaires. Isn’t it fascinating how most people (including me sometimes) say “them” when referring to millionaires.
Until you can SEE yourself as a Millionaire, refer to yourself as a Millionaire and say “US” when you talk about Millionaires, you keep your subconscious blocked from creating it.
This topic got me thinking about childhood nicknames…
My childhood nickname was “Duchess”. Now I know Duchess is royalty. But to a little 5 year old (who wanted to be called, “Princess”) it didn’t feel like royalty. In fact, it felt like “Second Place”.
Is it any wonder that every competition I entered as a child, I got… you guessed it… 2nd Place!
The 4H sewing contest: Lisa Kelly (that was my maiden name) 2nd place.
The Girl Scout Cookie Seller: Lisa Kelly… 2nd Place.
The Gymnastic State Title: Lisa Kelly… 2nd Place.
Miss Teen USA: Lisa Kelly… 2nd Place.
It was SO predictable. And let me tell you, in some of those competions I was favored to win! But something would happen to cause me to get 2nd place.
Then, one day as an adult, I received a little Golden Charriott in the mail from my Aunt with a card that read, “To Lisa, you were always a Princess to me!”
That day I deemed myself, “Princess”! First Place!
As funny as it seems, that new nickname has created extraordinary results. I even wrote a book about it called, “Don’t Mess With the Princess!” (I have a producer looking at it for a movie deal!)
What about you?…
What was your childhood nickname? What is your nickname today? Are your nicknames holding you back?
Give yourself the liberty to create yourself and who you want to be in an empowering and inspiring nickname you give yourself. Deem it to be true and watch what happens.
Share it with me!
I’m jumping on a plane very early in the morning heading out to LA for the Gammy’s! I’ll be the one in the purple gown walking the Red Carpet looking like a PRINCESS! : ))
Forever Creating,
LISA
