The Incredibles

What a great movie and a great idea.

Seemingly ordinary people can do amazing things.

Her’s the thing though, YOU, that’s right you, can be incredible too.

And it doesn’t take Pixar’s dedicated animation team to turn that into a reality.

Recently, Derek Halpern, a fellow Brazen Careerist, and I started a conversation about his post “How to be Incredible”.

I think this topic is great because it’s something we can all relate to. We would all be lying if we were to say, “No, I don’t want to be incredible, feel incredible, etc.”

The big idea is to keep YOU in mind.

Before starting anywhere else, think of your personal definition of incredible. What does being incredible mean to you? When was the last time I felt “incredible”? Jot down your thoughts and feelings to get a better understanding.

Follow Derek’s tips. Create your own. In the end though, what matters is what you want to achieve.

You may create a great set of goals, action plan and rally up the troops, but if you aren’t 100 percent ready to change your life and make it incredible, it won’t happen – trust me.

As Mirage, a character in the Incredbiles said to Mr. Incredible, “The supers are not gone, Mr. Incredible. You’re still here. You can still do great things. Or…you can listen to police scanners. Your choice.”

YOU can still do great things. You can be incredible. Or…you don’t have too. It’s your choice.
