Affirmation for July 9, 2010: Being Yourself (Basketball Shoes)
These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.
- From a Charles Barkley commercial for basketball shoes, 1993
Thought of the day:
The basketball theme of today's slightly off-beat affirmation is loosely tied to last night's announcement of LeBron James' decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers to join Miami Heat in the NBA league. Many sports fans were tied to the hype of this long-awaited announcement from one of the most talented basketball stars of today, and rarely has one basketball player created such a huge buzz -- even President Obama had something to say about the outcome.
Today's quote is about being yourself. What you wear, who you're a fan of, and what you buy may say something about your tastes and preferences, but they don't make you who you are.
We all have our special talents. While some, like LeBron, may get TV coverage, publicity is not a measure of self-worth. Focus on being the best you can be, and use the inspiration around you to drive your determination to the limit.
Have a driven day!
