We talked about having visions aligned with your value. So how does one know her core values? Great question. Time for another simple exercise together.

Who is your hero (idol)? Do not think too much, just name the first person that comes to mind.

Next, ask "What do you admire about him/her?" Is it her work? Her character? Her contribution? Again do not think too much, just write it down.

There on your piece of paper you have identified the traits or characters that you admire and and therefore value. These are your core values that you subconsciously cherish and give weight to.

Now you can do this exercise again and ask "Who else do you admire and why?"

Think of your life like a huge mansion. The west wing represents your childhood; the east wing, your adolescence. There is a wing that represents your young adulthood, and one that holds the memories of your more recent adulthood.

There is probably a section of this home that reflects back on your pre married days as well as each child as they came into your life. And of course there is the area that represents the courtship with your honey, as well as the most recent years leading up to now. I’m sure you get the picture by now.

I bet if asked which rooms you spend the most time in they would be the rooms that are bright, have lots of windows, beautiful pictures and comfy furniture. These rooms represent the times in your life that you enjoy re-visiting. The memories that make you smile, laugh and look back on with fond recollection.

Self belief or motivation is the pedestal of all positive energy and affirmative activities that you indulge in through out your lifetime. Possibly these two qualities are much more significant in comparison to your self respect. The way you express and interpret things to yourself is extremely essential. If you really wish to enhance your motivation power as well as self belief, you require a strong desire which will show you the way.

Not always motivation comes from within. At times you might feel motivated by various external factors. For instance an influential person may be your friend or relative can persuade you to begin something innovative or push you towards a positive direction. Furthermore you can feel encouraged by devotion or faith in divinity and by serving the social causes. Sometimes one can feel like starting afresh and accomplish pending tasks driven by a series of negative events.

Here’s a question for you: What do you spend your time on?

We all have 24 hours per day to spend in whichever way we like. If you meet a person for the first time and you want to get to know what that person is like, you may ask him what his daily life looks like, i.e. what he spends time doing. If the person tells you that he spends a lot of time in the gym, you may assume that fitness is very important to him. Similarly, if he tells you that he works 10 hours every day, you may assume that to this person working is very important.

By spending a lot of time on certain things you are telling yourself and others that these things are important to you.

Scientists state that we only use 10% of our minds.  Think about what I just said.  We use only 10% of our minds!  We are wasting the other 90%.  Think of it this way….what if we only used 10% of our salary?  Could we survive on 10% of our salary?  No way, unless your Bill Gates.  What about eating only 10% of the food we make?  Wouldn’t that be a waste of food?  What if we slept only 10% of 8 hours or 80 minutes a day?  Could we survive?  What if we had only 10% of the oxygen that was available?  Could we survive?  The answer to all these questions is a resounding NO!

So why do we put up with using only 10% of our brain?  Look at your life.  Are you living the life you want….on your terms?  Are you happy with what you’ve created or do you think it could be better?  Chances are that you are living to only 10% of your abilities.  What if you could make your life 100, 500, or 1,000% better?  I can hear you now saying…”That’s impossible” or “that’s too hard to do.”   If you did say that, you’re repeating the same pattern in your life, which is you are using only 10% of your brain or less.

It is identified as the ultimate key to happiness, the door to success, the path to healthy relationships, the essential component of personal fulfillment, and the ingredient for eliminating toxic ones. What is this very important “it”? “It” is self – esteem.

According to the National Council for Self – esteem in Sacramento, California, self – esteem is “the feeling that you are worthy of happiness and capable of managing life’s challenges.” For many, self – esteem is an elusive ingredient. Yet psychologists universally agree that it can be cultivated by anyone. Continue reading →
