The Hall of Awesomeness

William Shatner recently found out that he is not in the Star Trek movie.   His response? And I quote, “I couldn’t believe it. I’m not in the movie at all… what a decision to make, since it obviously is a decision not to make use of the popularity I have to ensure the movie has good box office. It didn’t seem to be a wise business decision.” Now there’s a man who knows what he is worth.  What are the hallmarks of a William Shatner attitude:

Know your worth something

How many deadbeats people do you know that just can’t see their own worth?  I am one of them.  What hinders us is our inability to be able to understand the simplest sense of value about ourselves.  What do I mean? You don’t think you are worth anything.  Let me be as blunt as I can.  YOU ARE WORTH SOMETHING!

Say what your worth

Don’t wait for someone to say it.  Now, I should say that there is a big difference between arrogance and confidence.  Arrogance is talking out of school about how much you think you are worth.  The difference is factual.  If you know you are good at something say it.  Don’t hold back.  Don’t boast but say what you worth.

Tell others what you worth

Shatner does this expertly he says that the movie won’t succeed without him in it.  Now that’s the kind of confidence you need.  Having this kind of attitude is wonderful as it allows you to have self confidence and a belief in your own abilities that goes beyond what most people consider normal.  I don’t think you speak this out all the time.  Don’t put yourself down because you will believe your own press.

Having a Shatner attitude fulfills the royal law, ‘love others as you do yourself.’  Unless you really like who you are then you won’t like others much either.
