“The thing I say most often to myself is,
‘I can do hard things, especially when I
want to say that I can’t.’ Saying this is
simple, but powerful.”—Sherrie Ferrell
At Gold, Sherrie had a mindset shift. “I
knew something was holding me back,
and it was me. I examined what I said to
myself. The tapes playing repetitively in
my head said things like, ‘I’m not smart
enough. I can’t be like them. I can’t do
OUTSOURCING STRENGTH
Sherrie Ferrell says, “The scripture ‘I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me’ (Philippians 4:13) has kept me going many times when I have
questioned my own ability. It’s important to me to always remember where
to turn for my source of strength.” Write down things that bring you strength,
such as positive thoughts about yourself or inspiring messages, on a notecard.
Stick it to your computer, bathroom mirror, fridge, back door, dashboard of
your car, or any other place where you might see it during a down moment to
help you remember that you always have a source of strength to draw on.
hard things. I don’t have time. I don’t
look the part.’ These were false beliefs
determining my actions and attitudes,
and the lies were holding me back.”
Wisely, Sherrie got to work changing the
hardest part of her business: her self-
belief. “I had to change that tape I was
playing in my head because I was smart
and I could do hard things. I wanted to
exemplify the actions and attitudes of
the type of person I wanted to attract. I
needed to give people a reason to want
to join me. So, I began filling my mind
with daily affirmations. This was the
best personal development I could have
asked for. I have grown and done things
I never thought possible.
“I realized I didn’t need to be someone
else,” Sherrie states. “I just needed to
be the best version of myself, and take
ownership of my life with no excuses.
Things were going to happen that I
had no control over, but I got to
choose my reaction.”
Through her journey, Sherrie discovered
she was capable and intelligent. She
knows it is important to remember,
“We are exactly who we need to be to
reach the people we need to reach.
Each of us was created for a plan and a
purpose that only we can fulfill. When
we find a way to accept who we are,
and strive to be the best version of
ourselves, then we are free to be all we
were created for to make the biggest
impact in the world!”
