Number 1 Belief About Yourself

Number 1 Belief About Yourself

When you are born you do not have any Beliefs. Your mind is a clean slate. As you grow up, you develop and learn beliefs about yourself and all things in the world from your environment, your parents, family and what you read and listen to. Before you know it, you have learned beliefs about who you are, your self-esteem, your self-confidence, your talents, skills, abilities, likes and dislikes, food, religion, politics, love, money and everything else in life. These beliefs guide and influence how you live your life. If you are lucky to grow up in a positive family and environment, life will be good. However, if you are in a negative environment or family, life will be a struggle.

Fortunately, these beliefs are learned and therefore can be changed. It’s up to you to choose your core beliefs about yourself and life. Your beliefs are manifested in your words and actions. So why not choose to believe empowering beliefs, especially about who you are. Start Believing in Yourself! Become your own best friend and talk to yourself in positive terms and Believe in Yourself. You can change your beliefs and your life.

Unforgiveness is Poison

Unforgiveness is Poison

When you have an issue with someone it’s best to talk to them face to face, one on one and work things out. Come to a mutual understanding or agreement. Don’t text them, don’t email them as that lead to more misunderstandings. Call them or go see them. It you don’t and you don’t or won’t forgive them, you are damaging yourself more than hurting them, you’re poisoning yourself. Do you want live life like that? With the cloud of anger and unforgiveness hanging over you? You’ll be happier and enjoy life more after you speak to them and work things out.

Luke 6:37  “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

It could be that you are nice to people, or a smile that makes others smile, or you’re talented with words, music, sculpture, painting, leading others, networking, negotiating, teaching, listening, building, carpentry, encouraging, meditating, yoga, meditation, photography, jewelry making, designing, spiritual leadership, an author, pre-school teacher, artificial intelligence (AI wasn’t used in this post), therapist, barista and so many more.

You may not think you have a talent but you most certainly DO! Dig down deep inside, find it, develop it and then share it. When you undertake this Big Life Action you will help others, and be more satisfied with your own life. It’s worth the effort to find out what your Special Talent is.

You Choose Your Life

You Choose Your Life

Life is a series of choices that YOU make.

Your choices determine or create your life.

As the Grail Knight in Indiana Jones said: “But choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you.”

Use your choices to create a great day and life.
