HIGH SELF ESTEEM

                        SOME ADVANTAGES OF HIGH SELF - ESTEEM

THERE IS A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE'S FEELINGS AND THEIR PRODUVTIVITY. HIGH SELF-ESTEEM IS EVIDENT IN RESPECT FOR ONE'S SELF, OTHERS, PROPETY, LAW, PARENTS, AND ONE'S COUNTRY. THE REVERSE IS ALSO TRUE.

                                                 HIGH SELF- ESTEEM

       * BUILT STRONG CONVICTION.

       * CREATES WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY.

       * BUILDS OPTIMISTIC ATTITUDES.

       * LEADS TO BETTER RELATIONSHIPS AND FULFILLING LIVES.

       * DEVELOP A CARING ATTITUDE AND MAKES A PERSON MORE SENSITIVE TO OTHERS NEED.

       * MAKES A PERSON SELF-MOTIVATED AND AMBITIOUS.

       * MAKES A PERSON OPEN TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES.

       * IMPROVES PERFORMANCE AND INCREASE RISK- TAKING ABILITY.

       * HELPS A PERSON GIVE AND RECEIVE BOTH CRITICISM AND COMPLIMENTS TACTFULLY AND EASILY.

       * PREFERS LOSS OF BUSINESS TO LOSS OF CREDIBILITY BECAUSE THEY REALIZE THAT ONE CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON ONE'S CREDIBILITY.

MINDSET

                                DEVELOP A MINDSET THAT BRINGS HAPPINESS

                   BITTERNESS IS A SIGN OF EMOTIONAL FAILURE. IT PARALYZES OUR CAPASITY TO DO GOOD. SET YOUR OWN STANDARDS. BE HONEST TO YOURSELF. COMPETE AGAINST YOURSELF. DO THE FOLLOWING:

                * LOOK FOR THE POSITIVE IN EVERY PERSON AND IN EVERY SITUATION.

                * RESOLVE TO BE HAPPY.

                * SET YOUR OWN STANDARDS JUDICIOUSLY.

                * DEVELOP AN IMMUNITY TO NEGATIVE CRITICISM.

                * LEARN TO FIND A PLEASURE IN EVERY LITTLE THINGS.

                * REMEMBER ALL TIME IS NOT THE SAME. UPS AND DOWN ARE PART OF LIFE.

                * MAKE THE BEST OF EVERY SITUATION.

                * KEEP YOURSELF CONSTRUCTLY OCCUPIED.

                * HELP YOURSELF CONSTRUCTIVELY OCCUPIED.

                * LEARN TO GET OVER THINGS. DON'T BROOD.

                * FORGIVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS. DON'T HOLD GUILT OR BEAR GRUDGES

                

                                 GIVE YOURSELF POSITIVE AUTO- SUGGESTIONS

       DEVELOP THE HABIT OF GIVING YOURSELF POSITIVE SELF-TALK. AUTO-SUGGETIONS AFFECT YOUR BEHAVIOUR BY INGLENCING YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM. IT BECOMES A SELF-FULFILLING ,PROPHECY EXAMPLE:

                * I CAN HANDLE IT.

                * I CAN DO IT.

                 * I AM GOOD AT MATH.

                 * I HAVE A GOOD MEMORY.

GOOD PERSPECTIVE

                                 PUTTING THINGS IN PERPECTIVE

                        * I'M IN GOOD HEALTH

                        * DOLORES IS IN GOOD HEALTH

                        * WE HAVE OUR OWN HOME.

                        * WE HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD TO EAT AND CLEAN WATER TO DRINK

                        * WE LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES AND ENJOY FREEDOM.

                        * I LOVE MANY LOYAL FRIENDS.

                        * I DRAW STRENGTH FROM MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

     

                    THIS IS JUST A PARTIAL LIST OF THE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? EVEN WITH ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL THINGS, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I START SOME OF THEM FOR GRANTED! BUT I'VE LEARNED TO QUICKLY RE-CONNECT WITH THESE BLESSINGS... AND IT BOOKS MY ATTITUDE AND BRINGS ME RIGHT BACK ON COURSE. 

                      SO, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT LATELY? ARE THEY REALLY 'LIFE AND DEATH' MATTERS? THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE TEMPTED TO GRIPE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS, PICK UP A PEN AND PIECE OF PAPER AND START LISTING ALL THE REASONS YOU HAVE TO BE GRATEFUL!

                     LET ME TELL YOU, IT SURE BEATS COMPLAINING!...

            REFLECT UPON YOUR PRESENT BLESSINGS, OF WHICH EVERY MAN             HAS PLENTY, NOT ON YOUR PAST MISFORTUNES, OF WHICH ALL                     MEN HAVE SOME.

               * MAKE A COSCEITIOUS EFFORT TO NOTICE AS MANY THINGS AROUND YOU THAT YOU LOVE, AS MUCH AS YOU CAN EACH DAY.

                                             😇THE KEY OF GRATITUDE😇

               * EVERY TIME YOU FEEL GRATEFUL YOU ARE GIVING LOVE.

                   * EVERY SPARE SECOND IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE GRATEFUL AND MULTIPLY THE THINGS YOU LOVE.

ATTITUDE

                                               A DEFINITION OF ATTITUDE

                    THINK OF YOUR ATTITUDE AS THE MENTAL FILTER THROUGH WHICH YOU EXPERIENCE THE WORLD. SOME PEOPLE SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THE FILTER OF OPTIMISM (THE GLASS BEING HALF FULL) WHILE OTHERS SEE LIFE THROUGH A FILTER OF OPTIMISM  (THE GLASS BEING HALF EMPTY). LET ME GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE.

* THE PERSON WITH THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE THINKS " I CAN'T".

* THE PERSON WITH THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE THINK "I CAN".

* THE PERSON WITH THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE DWELLS ON PROBLEM.

* THE PERSON WITH THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE CONCENTRATES ON SOLUTIONS.

* THE PERSON WITH THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FINDS FAULT WITH OTHERS.

* THE PERSON WITH THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE LOOKS FOR THE GOOD IN OTHERS.

* THE PERSON WITH THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FOCUSES ON WHAT'S MISSING.

* THE PERSON WITH THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE COUNTS HIS OF HER BLESSINGS.

* THE PERSON WITH THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE SEES LIMITATIONS.

* THE PERSON WITH THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE SEES POSSIBILITIES.

               

                         I COULD GO ON AND ON WITH EXAMPLES, BUT I'M SURE YOU GET THE IDEA. WHEN I TALK TO AUDIENCE ABOUT ATTITUDE, I OFTEN LIKE TO USE WORD PICTURES. THEY HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND REMEMBER WHAT I SAID. LET ME POINT THIS PICTURE FOR YOU: YOUR ATTITUDE IS YOUR WINDOW TO THE WORLD.

SUCCESS

                                        DONT COUNT ON OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

                             BEFORE CONCLUDING, I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS ABOUT POSITIVE THINKING AND THE POWER OF OUR THOUGHTS. FIRST OF ALL, POSITIVE THINKING DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS OVERNIGHT. IT'S NOT AS IF YOU START THINKING ABOUT MAKING MORE MONEY AND THE NEXT MORNING YOU WAKE UP AND FIND A STACK OF DOLLERS BILLS AT YOUR BEDSIDE. NOT BY A LONG SHOT. SUCCESS REQUIRES EFFORT, COMMITMENT AND PATIENCE.

                            AND SECONDLY, POSITIVE THINKING DOES'T MEAN YOU WON'T HAVE ANY MORE PROBLEMS. BELIEVE ME, YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF SETBACKS ALONG THE WAY. HOWEVER, IF YOU CONTINUE TO BELEIVE IN YOURSELF, TAKE ACTIONS AND PERSIST, YOU'LL OVERCOME THOSE OBTACLES.

                           REMEMBER, YOU ARE ONSTANLY MOVING IN THE DIRECTIONS OF YOUR DOMINATE THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS. NEGATIVE THINKING YIELDS NEGATIVE RESULTS....AND POSITIVE THINKING PRODUCES POSITIVE THOUGHTS CAN COME SHINING THROUGH.

                         IT SIMPLY MAKES NO SENSE TO THINK NEGATIVE THOUGHTS... UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET NEGATIVE RESULTS. AND I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT THAT HAPPEN

                          SO, FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS WISELY AND USE THIS POWERFUL PRINCIPLE TO GET FANTASTIC RESULTS IN YOUR LIFE!.

POSITIVE MIND

                                     FEED YOUR MIND GOOD THOUGHTS

                JUST AS OUR BODIES NEED GOOD FOOD EVERY DAY, OUR MINDS NEED GOOD THOUGHTS EVERRYDAY. THE KEY WORDS IN THE PRECENDING SENTENCES ARE GOOD FOOD FOOD AND GOOD THOUGHTS. IF WE FEED OUR BODY WITH JUNK FOOD AND OUR MIND WITH BAD THOUGHTS, WE WILL HAVE BOTH A SICK BODY AND A SICK MIND. WE NEED TO FEED OUR MIND WITH THE PURE AND THE POSITIVE TO STAY ON TRACK.

                                               BUILD A POSITIVE SEFT ESTEEM 

                SELF-ESTEEM IS THE WAY WE FEEL ABOUT OURSELVES. WHEN WE FEEL GOOD WITHIN, OUR PERFORMANCE GOES UP AND OUR RELATIONSHIP IMPROVE BOTH AT HOME AND AT WORK. THE WORLD LOOKS NICER. WHAT COULD BE THE REASON? BECAUSE THERE IS A DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN OUR FEELINGS AND BEHAVIOUR.

                                      START YOUR DAY WITH SOMETHING POSITIVE

                      READ OR LISTEN TO SOMETHING POSITIVE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. AFTER A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP WE ARE RELAXED AND OUR SUBCONCIOUS IS RECEPTIVE. ITS SETS THE TONE FOR THE DAY, AND PUTS US IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND TO MAKE THE DAY A POSITIVE DAY. IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE, WE NEED TO MAKE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT AND BE COMMITTED TO MAKE POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIOUR PART OF OUR LIVES, PRACTICE HAVING POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIOUR DAILY UNTIL THE BECOME A HABIT.
