Winning At Being You: Seated In Your Rightful Place

By Dr. John D. McConnell

Have you ever suspected that there’s much more to you than you currently display? Perhaps a version that even you are unaware of? If you were persuaded that there is a prolific person inside of you, wouldn’t you want to be introduced? Today is your day to begin the journey to find YOU - the yielding, open-minded, unrelenting version of yourself. Give yourself permission to view life through a different lens. This book challenges you to do the work of a profiler - analyzing every nook and cranny of your DNA. Once you begin to discover the most intimate things about yourself, you gain access to the keys for living at the highest level. Unlike most motivational books that can only recommend powerful strategies for the behavior you want to see - John McConnell shows you how to put life in slow motion, so you come face to face with your true essence. William Shakespeare said, “No legacy is so rich as honesty.” Let’s get honest with ourselves. Stop just getting by with your talents and personality. Take your rightful place by using everything you have to win. Your THRONE is awaiting you!

INTRODUCTION

I am a Christian author. Any example, anecdote, or analogy used in this book presupposes God as Lord.

The Throne is often referred to as ‘the office of the ruler’. Monarchs — kings and queens — sit on thrones on special ceremonial occasions, and so do religious figures such as bishops and popes. It represents the power of the dignitary who sits on it and sometimes confers that power.

Imagine your life as your kingdom (where you reside). There is a hierarchy within your kingdom, which should have you seated in the king’s chair. This seat represents your kingdom’s chain of command. It’s not only about how others see you, but how you see yourself. Power flows down from the head, and if anyone is elevated above you (in your kingdom) - your life is out of order. It’s time you take back the throne by unlocking the door to your true identity. You can’t be your absolute best without first knowing who you are.

Usually, we read books through the filter of the author’s accomplishments. We tend to qualify or disqualify the message based on the popularity of the vessel. Although I do draw from some personal experiences in this book, I make a valiant effort to distance myself from your results. If you truly work certain principles, the
