Opus V – Self-Esteem and Believing in Yourself: Always set the stage

Do you trust yourself?

Is your self-esteem and believing in yourself all that you want it to be?

Is your self-esteem and believing in yourself your number one priority?

Your self-esteem and believing in yourself takes time; time to listen to
and learn from others and yourself. This process may cause you some
stressful moments.

To take your self-esteem and believing in yourself to the next level
you must choose to…

…create a lasting impression.

…get out of your comfort zone.

…invest in yourself.

…make a difference.

…take your self seriously.

…use a proactive approach and ask “who is going to stop me?”

The secret to your self-esteem and believing in yourself is to be bold,
to be great, and to think big. Take what matters most to you and live
each day with culture, ideas and passion.

Remember to always set the stage.

Before you are able to set the stage to believe and trust yourself you
must learn to listen to your inner voice and live strong.
 
Here is how…
 
Appreciate life by choosing wisely, and choosing well. (Not choosing
is also a choice.)

Become aware of your strengths.
  
Believe in yourself, and stop sabotaging yourself. 
 
Remember, life is full of opportunities.
 
We all have learned scripts to manage our emotions.
 
These learned scripts may need some adjustments to reflect who
you are and what you want so that you “take charge of your life.”

To “take charge of your life” you must be willing to let go of your
self-defeating behavior.

Are your emotions, what you are feeling making you sick?

Suppressing your emotions/feelings is not the answer since these
emotions/feelings tend to show themselves in your attitude and in
your behavior.

Allow yourself to be open to the possibility that emotions/feelings
are just your emotions/feelings.

They are not you.

Do not let yourself be directed and motivated by them.

Since emotions/feelings are irrational, you are able to take control
of your life by making a decision to accept your emotions/feelings,
not act on them and then let them go so they don’t defeat you.

This can be accomplished by being aware of what you are feeling
moment to moment and asking:

1. Am I willing to let this emotion/feeling go?

2. Can I let this emotion/feeling go?

3. When am I going to let this emotion/feeling go?

Do you know that what you believe, you achieve?

The first thing you are selling (and they are buying) is you and your
beliefs. Before you can even talk about your product or service, you have to establish a trusting relationship.  When you leave a message on a prospect’s voice mail sell yourself first, and not your product or service.

Do you know that you know more than you know?

You can influence the outcome you want by getting to the point, being
direct, having your facts right and knowing that the difference between right and wrong is — wrong creates suffering and right ends suffering.

Do you know that to believe is great, to achieve makes it so?

By changing your attitudes you can change your life. Keep yourself motivated, on track and moving forward.  Avoid procrastination, do what needs to be done when it needs to be done.  Break away from the realities and rules that keep you from achieving your next level of success.

Do you know that your life, your career and your business works to the extent that you keep your word?

Surround yourself with positive, loving, caring, and passionate people — clients, prospects, family and friends.

Do you know that your life, your career and your business success can be create by breaking away from your old fear-based model of living and doing business, to a new love-base model?

Fear is the enemy, love is the cure.

The truest aspect of every life and career lies in is its unbounded potential.  Only you put limits on your life and your career.  To find fulfillment in your life and career you must know your purpose.  We are all born with a purpose.

Let’s begin to find your purpose…

Define your purpose by listing a few of your personal qualities and how you enjoy expressing them.  Your purpose is something that is happening now, and not something that will happen after certain conditions are met.  For example, my associates and my purpose is “to use our creativity and enthusiasm to encourage and support others as we freely express and share our talents.”  It is important that you read and say your purpose each day, especially when things are not going the way you want.

After receiving many questions related to knowing how-to love without losing one’s self, let’s begin to address and take a chance at answering this life experience issue here-and-now, once and for all.

Know and accept your self!

Know your purpose for being here, alive in this world!

Begin to feel the shifts you experience when in a relationship.   Decide whether you are OK with the shifts in your emotions/feelings, thoughts and perspectives. 

Make decisions that reflect what you know about your self, and accept about your self. 

“To thy own self be true” works wonders! 

After all is said and done, authenticity and transparency is all the rage –and a requirement — in this “social media technology time” of our lives where blogging, facebook and twitter etc is a way to get noticed globally in business and in life.

The following thoughts about the law of attraction come from “The Secret” the movie.

Accepting that you are the creator of your life, your future and your present life, are you able to see how you are the creator of your destiny in each moment of your day?

Be present in every moment and seize every moment since you are the creator of your life.

Do you agree with and believe in the law of attraction?

The more you use the law of attraction the more you are going to appreciate, enjoy using and grasping the meaning of this law.

What you feel, what you think about happens in your life; and what you resist – exists.

You are and you become what you feel and what you think about, your thoughts create your feelings and your feelings create your thoughts. 

Your energy flows where your attention goes so you might as well focus on what you want and stop focusing on what you don’t want by using your full emotional and intellectual potential.

Your feelings create this attraction and not your thoughts alone.
