I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and ‘Who am I?’ is a question we should really ask ourselves. In fact “Who could I be?’ would be an even better one.
It seems, that we are exactly in life, at a position that we allow ourselves to reach. By this I mean that everything in your past has programmed you to accept and believe certain restraining influences.
There are some very obscure events and advice that actually have a profound effect on what decisions you make.
We are all guilty of buying books and CD’s that will teach us certain things and when we get them we subconsciously believe that this information, or the results that they promise are not actually for us.
We all look for information and advice that will move us forward and give us a better income, a better life, a better relationship or more money.
The problem is that all these things that we feel are lacking in our life are actually symptoms and until we address the cause of these problems nothing will change.
Everything that happens in your life is a result of an action that you take and that action is determined to a great extent on how you feel about yourself. Your image of your self worth or self esteem is the catalyst to everything that happens.
An example of this is that when you experience a little bit of success, your image of your self esteem rises and therefore you make decisions in line with that new found worth. That decision then leads on to another decision that moves you even further up the scale and so on. You see it has nothing to do with attracting it is all about you accepting who you are.
The better you feel about yourself the better decisions you make and so it goes on.
How many times have you seen successful people fall by the wayside? This is a classic example of someone changing their opinion of them self. Can this continue?, Am I worthy? The minute the self doubt creeps in the self esteem lowers and as sure as eggs are eggs things go into reverse.
Most of what we see and desire can be ours if we accept that we can achieve it. Ask yourself what most successful people have. When everything is stripped away you will find that they have a very high self worth and they have great self esteem. As mentioned previously this has a compound effect.
As I always say, success is a very intangible thing, and it is different things to different people. You can look at a celebrity and think they are successful, but you cannot ever start to judge until you have all the facts.
There was a tragic case recently where a beautiful young news reader took her life. On the surface she had everything, amazing looks, a boyfriend, a loving family , a great job, so what made her do it? I don’t know what was going through her head, but I can guarantee that she had a very low opinion of her self worth.
I read recently that the economy is created between your ears and that is so true. We can change our thoughts and change everything. The problem is though that those thoughts go back to our self worth and self esteem and we actually limit our expectations in line with our beliefs.
I believe that in the natural world we are given everything we need to survive, success comes from being aware of what is available and accepting things as they arrive. Most of us do not see opportunities because we do not believe that they are applicable to us, we therefore either do not see them or ignore them.
Over the next few days I will be trying to give you some information and asking some questions that will hopefully raise your self esteem and let you see a new self worth that will open the door to an exciting new adventure.
