Book SynopsisNo Matter Where You Stand Today, Your Next Step Can Be Into Greatness
Are you ready to make your life a success? Let author, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker Daniel Gutierrez guide you to the greatness you've always dreamed of.
“Accepting your greatness means taking a good look at yourself,” Daniel says. “Most of my life I ran from who I was, and wanted to be something I wasn't. I wanted to be taller, faster, better looking, whiter---everything but me. Over time, however, this is what I’ve learned: accepting your greatness means to transform your way of thinking.
"Stepping into Greatness" is about understanding that you are created in the image of greatness, and that is enough. It is about looking deep inside at the hurt and the pain and realizing that a lot of the things we assume about ourselves just aren't true. I wasn't a failure, although I had failed many times.
Accepting your greatness is about self-love, self-acceptance, self-realization, and ending the struggle and competition with yourself.
What we believe, what we think, what we perceive---whether good or bad---is the core of our power and within us. Harnessing that power to work for us is what transformation is all about. It creates our reality, our vision, our purpose, and our ultimate success.
Yes, we have lived lives of joy and pain, lessons and disasters, rewards and temptations. Yes, we have met people who inspire us and others whose moral compasses do not align with our own. To become the “master of your fate” or the “captain of your soul,” we must take responsibility and accountability for the experiences and choices within our journey.
Your life, your loves, your passion, your work---all can bring the joy that propels you forward in a way that inspires, encourages, and aspires to greater things. Success is waiting to happen….just take that first step into your greatness now.
