Creating a feeling of value & self-worth !

My though-for-the-weekend :

Today I’d like to share with you an article that I came across in 1986 while attending the ‘College of Du Page’ in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. This was also the year I first experienced ‘The World of Psychology‘ (I recall that I did not like talking or thinking about change, and tried to avoid it like the plague).

Also, during this period of my personal journey/personal growth; my ‘English Professor’ had me write a report (on any subject) to assess my writing skills. (As any schooling up until this point in my life had been in Scotland.)

Anyway, I don’t know why . . . but the topic of my choice was self-esteem. Isn’t life funny, back then I couldn’t even spell ‘Philosopher‘ and now . . . I are one!

To my friends in the United States, as Jackie Gleason would say, ‘Har de har, har !‘ And what is it they say on ‘Saturday Night Live?’

IF IT’S NOT SCOTTISH . . . IT’S CRAP!

The milestones of our life’s journey !

I do hope you have enjoyed my little introduction to this weekend’s article; as much as I have enjoyed sharing this milestone with you!

Please take the time to share your thoughts about today’s Xqisit Quote : The Station

Let today’s milestone give you  www.ASENSEOFDIRECTION.co.uk towards your personal success !

But uttermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering – waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

When we reach the station; "That will be it!" we cry. "When I’m 18." "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!" "When I put the last kid through college." "When I pay off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion." "When I reach the age of retirement. I shall live happily ever after!"

Sooner or later we must realize there is no station, no place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

"Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24. "This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.

Please take a moment to share your thoughts!

Your Gateway to Lifelong Personal & Professional Development

This is your time to plan and design the life that you imagine!

• Unlock your potential. If there were no limits on what you could accomplish, what would you be, have, and do? I will offer a simple key that will show you how to make those potentials real.
• Take charge of your life. Imagine that your favourite reasons for not having a perfect life are all fake. I will show you how to let go of all excuses and make progress in every "problem area" of your life.
• Create your own future. Imagine this: Your finances are exactly where you want them, your family and personal lives make you happy, your health and fitness are ideal, and your calendar and daily schedule are exactly the way you want them. I will show you why such a future is within your reach and how you can make it happen.
• Clarify your values. Describe your pictures of the ideal person, the kind of person you would most want to be if you had no limitations. I will show you seven ways to get crystal clear on that. Only then will you be able to achieve results that will bring you fulfillment.
• Determine your true goals. If you could have anything you wanted, what would you wish for? I will give you seven simple exercises that will bring to light what you should really be focusing on. Otherwise you could waste years "chasing the wind," as the saying goes.
• Discover your purpose in life. This is one goal that will help you achieve virtually all your other goals in life, and it must have four characteristics in order to work.
• Measure your progress. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. I will show you six ways of measuring your progress that can transform your life into a fun game that you always win.
• Remove the roadblocks. Why haven’t you already achieved everything you want in life? I will show you how to identify what has stopped you in the past. This is the biggest part of the solution. Then, I will offer you five ways to remove all obstacles that get in your way.
• Become an expert. There are eight ways to identify and determine your special talents, and what you are uniquely suited to do. Once you’ve determined your most powerful gifts, you can then use the "three plus one" formula for mastering any skill to propel yourself to the top of your field.
• Meet the right people. I will show you five key secrets of professional networking. This will allow you to connect with the people who will bring you the opportunities you’re looking for.
• Make a plan of action. In the process of planning, there is usually one major problem that must be solved before other problems can be addressed. By making your plan and writing it down, you will be able to identify this problem as well as the vital elements of the plan that deserve most of your time. I will show you the five key components of every plan and how you can revise your plan effectively when the situation warrants it.
• Manage your time well. In order to accomplish anything, you must have control of your time. This requires self-discipline, self-control, and self-mastery, all of which can be learned. By following the five steps that I offer, you will develop these skills and manage your time so effectively, you will free up several extra hours a day.
• Unlock your inborn creativity. Most experts believe we use less than 10 percent of our natural brain capacity. Using five secrets I have learned from worldwide experts in brain functioning, you will learn to tap reserves of creativity you never knew you possessed. Then you will apply that creativity towards practical ends such as doubling your income.

In all, you will learn the principles required for always getting what you want. (Availability Limited)

Enthusiasm is to anticipate and prepare for the good things that you believe are going to happen in your life.

Creating a feeling of value & self-worth !
______________________________________________

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult."
~ Seneca
______________________________________________

How to develop the power of self-belief !

Here are the three guides to acquire and strengthen the power of self-belief:

1. Think success, don’t think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, "I’ll win," not "I’ll probably lose." When you compete with someone else, think, "I’m equal to the best," not "I’m out-classed." When opportunity appears, think "I can do it," never "I can’t." Let the master though "I-will-succeed" dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure. ( Take a look at Mind-Mapping: www-self-improvement-books.com )

2. Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not super-men or wonder-women. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn’t based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never – yes, never – sell yourself short. ( Take a look at Revolutionary Positive Thinking: www-self-improvement-books.com )

3. Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier – certainly no more difficult – than small ideas and small plans. ( Take a look at Unleash The Creative New You: www-self-improvement-books.com )

____________________________________________________________

"I have learnt more from my failures than my successes."
~ Richard Branson

____________________________________________________

People do what they do in order to achieve some purpose or fulfil some need.

One of the simplest keys to staying motivated over time is to give yourself every opportunity to experience an ongoing sense of progress in the pursuit of your goals. Instead of waiting until you have either achieved your goal or failed, continually look and listen for any sign of progress toward your goal; when you find one, grab onto it with all your heart. Seize on any evidence you can find that you are moving in the right direction and delight in it. Hold it large in your mind. Bask in its glow. Throw it onto your bed and roll around naked in it! More than anything else, it is this ongoing sense of progress that will keep you moving in the direction of your dreams week by week and moment by moment.

Ask yourself :

• What will I see as I achieve my dream ?
• What will I hear ?
• What will I feel, smell and taste ?

Your answers to these questions will give you a way of knowing if you are getting nearer or further from your dreams, and will keep you motivated as you begin living the life of your dreams.

Only by taking action will you succeed !

“The aim of life is self development. To realize one’s nature perfectly – that is what each of us is here for.”
~ Oscar Wilde
_______________________________________________

What is your ideal success !

Success is a word that has multiple layers of meaning.

Success is also an elusive notion, a paradox. After all, it is both a journey and a destination, isn’t it?

It’s the steady, measured progress towards a goal and the achievement of a goal.

Success is both an accomplishment and a wisdom that comes to those who understand the potential power of life.

It’s an awareness of value and the cultivation of worthwhile values through discipline.

It’s both material and spiritual, practical and mystical.

Success is a process of turning away from something in order to turn towards something better – from lethargy to exercise, from candy to fruit, from spending to investing.

Success is responding to an invitation to change, to grow, to develop, and to become – an invitation to move up to a better place in order to gain a better vantage point.

But most of all, success is making your life what you want it to be. Considering all the possibilities, considering all the examples of others whose lives you admire, what do you want from your life?

That is the big question!

A SPECIAL INTRODUCTION COURSE is being held on the 1st of July 2008 (6:30-8:30pm) in Esporta Health & Racket Club, Hamilton. This workshop is strictly limited to 20 people for only £24.97

Creating a feeling of value & self-worth !

______________________________________________
"Success is many things to many people, but if you have the courage to be true to yourself, to live up to your potential, to be fair with others, and always look for the good in any situation… Then you will have been the best you can be, and there’s no greater success than that."
~ Linda Lee Elrod
_____________________________________________________

Everywhere you go, there you are !

Being yourself may not always sound an attractive goal.Sometimes when things don’t look so great we may start wishing that we were someone else! If only I could get away from here; if only I had another job; if only I could meet a new lover; if only I had more money; if only I was more like … Yes, the grass may look greener on the other side, but when you eventually get there you discover an obvious but amazing truth: you have taken yourself with you! There is no escaping yourself; changing your circumstances will not necessarily make you happier. Contentment begins with self-awareness and self-acceptance and it focuses on the now. While you are wishing that things could be different, you will always feel disappointed with what you have and who you are at this moment. The trick is to be able to accept yourself just as you are (including all the bits you don’t like very much). When you are feeling more comfortable with who you are you gain a sense of inner peace and you take that with you wherever you go.

Success can be measured in many ways, but we cannot define it by external criteria alone: in other words, fame and fortune cannot necessarily ‘fix’ us. And I’m not advocating a life of obscurity and poverty because that won’t fix us either. No, true success is felt inside: it’s an inner sense of satisfaction about a job well done, an opportunity grasped, an outcome achieved, a problem resolved, and it always brings with it an underlying feeling of appreciation and well-being.

Self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards becoming a champion !

You really do have all the personal qualities it takes to succeed.

______________________________________________
"Don’t ask what the world needs – ask what makes you come alive and then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
~ Howard Martin
_______________________________________________

You can do anything !

Today I can think of no finer thought than to simply ask you to believe with all your heart that you can do anything ! Quite simply, believe in yourself and enjoy this amazing journey called life.

It’s what you can do or dream you can do that makes you unique.

Start living your life on purpose !

Many of the beliefs that we hold as correct are based on logic and reasoning from personal experience. However, there are other beliefs that we were told were true, that we accepted without questioning. We grew up thinking that everything we were told as children was and remains true. Discovering this is not the case can cause serious upset later in life. Which is why we need to review what it is we believe, about ourselves, our potential and the world around us.

When we are young, we are (I hope) brought up with love, support and encouragement to believe that we can do anything we put our minds to. Yet it appears that by the age of 18 many young people have lost the childhood confidence they had; their beliefs have changed because people around them told them things about themselves that were simply not true, and, lacking confidence, they accept the other person’s belief about them. One only has to look at the tragic consequences for people who suffer from anorexia. They believe they are over-weight, when the physical evidence of their anatomy is that they are at death’s door. But the belief is so powerful that when they look in the mirror all they can see is fat. Belief is very powerful and we need to align it and make sure our beliefs about ourselves are good, positive and helpful in our lives.

A Sense of Direction

A sense of direction is a personal development course designed to help you get a greater control of yourself and your life by understanding your values and beliefs. The purpose of the first workshop on this personal development course is to identify any obstacles that may be holding you back from your ideal success.

People don’t fail in life because they lack motivation, desire or ambition. The truth is that they fail because of false beliefs that they hold about who they are, so deeply ingrained into their subconscious mind. They have no idea that this influences their thinking and subsequent expectations.

A SPECIAL INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP is being held on the 1st of July 2008 (6:30-8:30pm) in Esporta Health & Racket Club, Hamilton. This workshop is strictly limited to 20 people for only £24.97

(Register before June 2008 to benefit from this special offer!)

You will learn how to :

• OVERCOME LIMITING BELIEFS
• FIND YOUR PURPOSE
• CREATE WEALTH
• GET RID OF YOUR FEAR
• DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE
• LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY
• ACCEPT YOURSELF
• FIND PASSION
• ACHIEVE FITNESS
• FOLLOW A HEALTHY DIET

"One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man."
~ Elbert Hubbard
_______________________________________________

Don’t be average – Be Great !

Today I want to look at the notion of living an above-average life. Of course, we should not think of ourselves as better or worse than anyone else, but we should recognize that we are unique individuals. Unique means special. It is good to think of yourself as special. No one exactly like you has ever lived before or shall pass this way again, so that’s quite a burden of responsibility that has fallen upon your shoulders.

Corny as it sounds, until you learn to love and like yourself, it is difficult for you to truly love others. As soon as you love yourself irrespective of what you look like, sound like or dress like, the sooner you’ll be open to the experiences of life in all their variety. Loving yourself is not about vanity or egotism, it is about accepting yourself as a unique, special and capable person with aspirations and ambitions, and feeling that you can achieve anything. You would regularly say to a child in your care that they could achieve whatever they put their mind to, and encourage and support their dreams and ambitions. Yet sadly we so often don’t do this for ourselves.

Why settle for average when you have greatness within you ?

Your life starts as a blank canvas. If you make a lot of brush strokes it becomes a very full canvas. It may be pretty, it may be an abstract; it doesn’t matter what it is, the key is that you made the effort to make it real and make it happen.

You are the master designer of your life !

Make everything you do today and for the rest of your life above average when you can, and progress confidently towards the success you seek !

To Your Succes !

What is motivation?

Motivation is a state of mind, an attitude, a way of thinking, being and doing that can reap rewards beyond your wildest dreams. Just as preparing for a team sport or getting ready for a first date requires you to think tactically and become aware of how other players may engage, becoming highly motivated requires that you to develop new skills and a new sense of awareness that wasn’t necessary in your less ambitious state.

You were highly motivated as a toddler when, with a little bit of encouragement, you taught yourself to walk, talk, discover the world and enjoy doing new things. Imagine how determined you were to urge your small, body to repeatedly cling on to surfaces in your efforts to stand. You may have suffered knocks and shed tears of frustration. But your sense of curiosity was aroused and the only way you could find out what was happening beyond your boundaries was to walk. You didn’t give up, you battled through false starts, tears and tottering and kept trying – and then, one day it happened. You walked.

Reflection !

If you have not examined lately where the edges of your achievement boundaries might be, here is a chance to explore afresh, bringing with you the same elements of curiosity and excitement you once possessed as a toddler. Who knows what will happen when you step to the edges of you boundaries and beyond – you might be able to soar.

How motivated are you ?

We can all become more purposeful in our actions, provided we are prepared to discover how our own motivation works. Even better, as you discover how you tick so you develop greater insight into how other people tick and how to motivate them.

Only by taking action will you succeed !

P.S. I refer to fundamentals as those basic principles on which all accomplishment is built.

Your Personal Power is your ability to ACT!

Here are 10 good reasons why I think you’ll enjoy attending this workshop.

1. It’s simple – This course contains hundreds of small steps you can take to make your life better. Each can deliver a small positive change to your life. Add several together and you’ll really see the difference.

2. You’re in charge – The course is clearly sectioned into 4 workshops. Each workshop is clearly indexed and the tips are presented
as they flow from one effects another.

3. I’d do it so why not you? – I’m not terribly brave and there’s nothing in this course I haven’t or wouldn’t try myself. Nowhere do I advocate walking on hot coals!

4. No dictionary needed – This is a course that says it like it is. There are no big words or jargon. Using a dictionary is educational but it does little for your self confidence. This course uses simple to the point words.

5. It’s realistic – We are all daunted by people who are better than we are. Human nature is to spot where we’re weak and forget where we’re strong. This course shows you how to improve things, but does not claim to be able to make you superhuman – sorry.

6. It’s fun – Personal development should not be like a trip to the dentist, something you endure to free yourself of pain. It should be more like a holiday, helping you create the opportunity to try new things. There’s nothing here you won’t enjoy.

7. It doesn’t cost any more – Changing your life is not about spending money. This course is not a shopping list for things you can’t really afford. In fact it shows you how to save money instead!

8. It reaches the parts . . . You’ll be amazed at some of the aspects of life this course encourages you to change for the better. Remember that the game of life is all about making lots of small changes, not a few big ones. Big ones hurt and small ones don’t.

9. There’s a website too – Once you attend the course, you can visit www.asenseofdirection.co.uk and sign up for my e-newsletters.

10. It’s yours – We are all unique and different and this is your personal journey through life. This course is begging you to highlight sections, insert pieces of paper and scribble notes. It’s personal to you and for you alone. ENJOY YOUR LIFE JOURNEY !

Creating a feeling of value & self-worth !

"Dare to be what you are, and dare to resign with a good grace all that you are not and to believe in your own individuality."

Learning to accept yourself and other people as they are !

Today I’d like to reflect upon the notion of acceptance. Many people go through life being unhappy and feeling discontented, especially with things over which they have no control. They get themselves bent out of shape by these events. They become angry, frustrated, give up on their dreams and their ambitions. It is important to recognize the difference between those things we can control and those things over which we have no control.

Accepting things doesn’t mean that you are unwilling to challenge them and it doesn’t mean you give up all hope. It means you put things into perspective.

Acceptance leads to respect

Many people are deluded enough to think they are perfect, and feel it is their right to sit in judgement of others. Make no mistake, all religions, all spiritual masters and many philosophers agree on this point: even though we may look different, we are all equal.

Historically, the democratic institutions of the world respect equality for all. It is a fundamental basis of every democratic society that everyone is equal. But I’ll bet there is a prejudice you carry around. It may be subtle but all the same there are some people in this world you may feel superior to, and others whom you may feel inferior to.

To accept yourself as you are is simply to accept the reality of your present situation, and if you don’t like it, you know what? You really can change it. Therefore if we are to be accepting of ourselves, then it stands to reason, in fact it demands, that we are accepting of other people. It requires that we are non-judgemental.

When you judge another, you rarely do it because you’re right, you do it to make yourself feel better

When you meet another person, you do not know the journey they have travelled, the traumas that have shaped their lives and the pain they have suffered. Acceptance is just that. Accepting without judgement of yourself and others, being unconditional in accepting them as they are and not as you think they should be.

I’ve learned that acceptance is not to be confused with indifference. We all have the power of free will. What we do with it is ultimately our choice. I abhor prejudice, bigotry, narrow-mindedness, cruelty, unkindness – all those characteristics. The fact that people hold beliefs, values and behaviours that I find negative and destructive does not mean that I feel I can sit in judgement of them. I may not understand or comprehend why they do what they do, but I’ve learned it is better to accept people as they are and seek to change them by my example, or other means.

By sitting in judgement of the world around you, you are not a participant, you are simply remaining an observer. To change the world you have to participate.

The Gateway to Lifelong Personal & Professional Development

This is your time to plan and design the life that you imagine!

• Unlock your potential. If there were no limits on what you could accomplish, what would you be, have, and do? I will offer a simple key that will show you how to make those potentials real.
• Take charge of your life. Imagine that your favourite reasons for not having a perfect life are all fake. I will show you how to let go of all excuses and make progress in every "problem area" of your life.
• Create your own future. Imagine this: Your finances are exactly where you want them, your family and personal lives make you happy, your health and fitness are ideal, and your calendar and daily schedule are exactly the way you want them. I will show you why such a future is within your reach and how you can make it happen.
• Clarify your values. Describe your pictures of the ideal person, the kind of person you would most want to be if you had no limitations. I will show you seven ways to get crystal clear on that. Only then will you be able to achieve results that will bring you fulfillment.
• Determine your true goals. If you could have anything you wanted, what would you wish for? I will give you seven simple exercises that will bring to light what you should really be focusing on. Otherwise you could waste years "chasing the wind," as the saying goes.
• Discover your purpose in life. This is one goal that will help you achieve virtually all your other goals in life, and it must have four characteristics in order to work.
• Measure your progress. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. I will show you six ways of measuring your progress that can transform your life into a fun game that you always win.
• Remove the roadblocks. Why haven’t you already achieved everything you want in life? I will show you how to identify what has stopped you in the past. This is the biggest part of the solution. Then, I will offer you five ways to remove all obstacles that get in your way.
• Become an expert. There are eight ways to identify and determine your special talents, and what you are uniquely suited to do. Once you’ve determined your most powerful gifts, you can then use the "three plus one" formula for mastering any skill to propel yourself to the top of your field.
• Meet the right people. I will show you five key secrets of professional networking. This will allow you to connect with the people who will bring you the opportunities you’re looking for.
• Make a plan of action. In the process of planning, there is usually one major problem that must be solved before other problems can be addressed. By making your plan and writing it down, you will be able to identify this problem as well as the vital elements of the plan that deserve most of your time. I will show you the five key components of every plan and how you can revise your plan effectively when the situation warrants it.
• Manage your time well. In order to accomplish anything, you must have control of your time. This requires self-discipline, self-control, and self-mastery, all of which can be learned. By following the five steps that I offer, you will develop these skills and manage your time so effectively, you will free up several extra hours a day.
• Unlock your inborn creativity. Most experts believe we use less than 10 percent of our natural brain capacity. Using five secrets I have learned from worldwide experts in brain functioning, you will learn to tap reserves of creativity you never knew you possessed. Then you will apply that creativity towards practical ends such as doubling your income.

In all, you will learn the principles required for always getting what you want. (Availability Limited)

Enthusiasm is to anticipate and prepare for the good things that you believe are going to happen in your life.

To be enthusiastic – act enthusiastic!

A SENSE OF DIRECTION is your blueprint to success, taking you through a programme that will renew body, mind and spirit to realize your true potential, increase your self-esteem and find happiness.
