Self esteem is all about the way a person thinks of himself. A person possessing high self esteem feels good about himself, while person having low self esteem feel worthlessness. Self esteem is vital and a keystone for having a positive attitude to live a better life. Self esteem is a vital aspect of your life because it has an effect on your thinking and acting process.

This article discusses a few ways to develop self esteem in you. These tips can help you develop a positive thought process leading to success.

Imagine Things Which Make You Feel Good…About You

If you are in a state where you feel that your self confidence as well as self esteem has hit the bottom, you will start imagining yourself in a negative fashion. In such a stage, make sure that instead of criticizing yourself try to seek out the positive aspects in you. Whenever you think about yourself, make sure that you concentrate on your strengths and not your weaknesses. Visualize yourself in a positive light in the future always. These things can definitely boost the level of your self esteem.

Take Proper Care of You

It is a general phenomenon that people who possess low of self esteem as well as self confidence tend not to provide enough care for oneself. Such people care about others and what others do, but minimal care is provided for oneself. This can hamper the way you project yourself and in turn, leave a negative stamp about you. So make sure that for giving your self esteem a boost, pamper yourself with proper care.

Associate With the Right People

Any goals that are focused and realistic will definitely help you improve your self esteem. This is because you will develop the confidence that you will be able to achieve those goals. Accomplishing the goals can increase the level of your self esteem.

Education in Positive Energy

It is good to read positive quotes or articles to give you positive vibes. If you have the habit of maintaining a diary, then make sure that you read the positive aspects of yours from the diary often. Every successful incident of your life can help build your self esteem. Never feel low that you were not able to achieve something. If not this time, next time you will be able to do that.

Replication Equals Duplication

Replicating what you do on a daily basis has a vital impact on your thinking process. Think about the positive things which happen in your life on a daily basis. Never think of anything which has hurt your or is negative in any way. Being positive will add to your self esteem and self confidence.

By following these tips you will definitely be able to improve your self esteem and do well in professional and personal life.

Aspire for the 2010 Entrepreneur

January 5, 2010 By 1 Comment

It was an tribute to have received the book Aspire as a gift from Ty Bennett, founder of Leadership Inc.  I knew that anything coming from Ty was going to have significance and be worth reading and re-reading.

In Aspire, Kevin Hall embarks on a unique passage into the influence of words as he dissects them to their origins and gets behind their true meanings.  This is literally one of the most moving books that I have read and is a must read for anyone in 2010…I could not advocate it more.  Getting to the root level of words that inspire helped me get to the root level of myself to aspire to be more, do more and become more.  I know that if you read the book with an open heart and desire to change it will do the same for you.

Here is what others are saying about Aspire:

“Words have power . . . amazing power! I can’t wait to see the world’s response to Aspire!.” (John Assaraf, author of The Answer; Teacher in The Secret )

“I love great books that have changed my life. Aspire is one of those truly great books. Kevin Hall is right up there with Og Mandino and Napoleon Hill.” (Bob Proctor, teacher in The Secret and bestselling author of You Were Born Rich )

“Just as I broke new ground in human development over twenty years ago by uncovering the habits that make for a meaningful and effective life, Kevin Hall is breaking new ground by uncovering and revealing the true intent and meaning of the words that make up those habits.” (Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People )

“This book brings to light the power of language to not only inform, but also to realize the potential of a life fully lived.  The revelations in Aspire are necessary tools to aid every passage of life.” (Gail Sheehy, New York Times bestselling author of Passages and Passages in Caregiving )

“Kevin Hall’s ability to unlock human potential is rare and extremely valuable. In Aspire!, he unveils a completely new paradigm for personal development and growth that is dynamic and life changing.” (Norman E. Brinker, founder and chairman emeritus, Brinker International )

“Once you pick this book up you will find it hard to put down. The layers of examples and principles inside a single word can prove life changing. This is a treasure that I will refer to over and over again. (Stephen M. R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust )

“More than just an engaging sojourn into etymology, Aspire! has the power to help individuals and teams focus on their true purpose and reach their best and highest aspirations.” (Richard Paul Evans, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Christmas Box )

“Kevin Hall shows us the surprising power of words-tools we can use to shape new thoughts and beliefs-to help us change, and create something better for ourselves and our planet.” (Spencer Johnson, M.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of ,Who Moved My Cheese? and Peaks and Valleys )

Anatomy of Goal Setting

January 1, 2010 By 1 Comment

“I believe you can train yourself to become a positive thinker, but you must cultivate a desire to develop the skill of setting personal worthy and realistic goals. I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the technique of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential. When you learn to master the principle of setting a goal, you will then be able to make a great difference in the results you attain in this life.”  M. Russell Ballard

Why do so many of us line up at the first of the year with a laundry list of New Years resolutions that internally we know will never be met?  I know, we have all done this, right?  We tell ourselves that “this year is going to be different.  This is the year that I am really going to do it.  I know I said this last year but I mean it this time; I am going to hit my goals”.  Then as if history didn’t repeat enough we find ourselves no better off when the next year comes around.  Actually we may even be worse off solidifying even more in our minds that setting goals is just a waste of time.

Have you ever heard of S.M.A.R.T. goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-based?  Let’s look into this a little closer and see if we can understand the root of why some hit their goals while most don’t.

Specific

Too many goals are broad and leave room for questions which inevitably leads to doubt.  It’s as if we are trying to, “Throw mud up against the wall and see what sticks” as the saying goes?  Have you tried to run your business or life this way?  If you have I’m sure that you found it is much like being a leaf in the wind.  Goals need to be detailed where there is no question about what it is you actually want.  Get specific; what is it that you really want?

Measurable

This leads directly from specific.  If your goal is broad it certainly can’t be measurable.  A goal has to be broken up into bite size segments where you can do one of two things at each interval; either gauge your progress or make necessary adjustments.  Roam was not built in a year and you’re not going to loose those 20 pounds that you put on during the holidays until you have at least committed yourself to a week of exercise and dieting.

Attainable

How many times have you heard someone setting a goal of making a million dollars when for the past few years they have been salaried at $50,000 per year?  I don’t want to rule out that it is not possible but it is highly unlikely.  Within each of our brains we have what is known as the Reticular Activation System or RAS.  It operates much like a thermostat and works at keeping us where we are most comfortable; emotional, financial and physical.  I won’t get into the science behind this other than to say that our goals need to be something that stretches us while at the same time allowing our RAS to adjust with the changes without overloading.

Realistic

This goes in line with attainable.  It’s important to take a common sense approach to setting goals.  I’m not convinced that it is better to shoot for the stars and miss then to not shoot at all.  While making changes in our lives, especially significant ones, does require risk I don’t condone placing your neck right in the giateen.  There has to be a personal belief behind the goal in order to be attainable.

Time-Based

When are you going to be accountable for the completion of your goal without a time stamp?  There is something magical that takes place in the brain when a deadline is placed on a goal.  It immediately goes into action sifting through its torrent of data to map out the most efficient way to achieve your goal.

It’s also essential to recognize the perspective that your goals are being made from.  Aren’t most goals materialistic in nature?  We have a tendency to place our goals with the perception that if we “have” something then we can “do” more and only then “be” who we want to be.  Isn’t this the opposite of the Be, Do, Have principle?  I recommend making your goals based on who you want to “be” instead of what you want to “have” and then recognize the distinction of depth and meaning that your goals will embody.

For a more in depth look into goal setting I recommend Ty Bennett’s eBook “Live the Life – Goal Achievement”.

Living for Today

November 4, 2009 By 3 Comments

Click here to discover how 2 guys figured out how to market any business on the Internet while also putting 15K into their pockets in 90 Days!

Recently as I was waiting to board my flight from Salt Lake City to Dallas I had the privilege of witnessing something that was very sobering and caused a lot of reflection. A member of our armed forces walked and stood by me waiting for the same flight but he was not alone. He stood there with his wife and three daughters, I’m guessing ages 9, 6 and 4. The soldiers’ wife and children were there to see their husband and father leave for another tour in Iraq. I watched in silence as his daughters clung to their fathers’ leg giving him their last embrace, and taking their last photos together, for what would be a 12-18 month separation from his family. It touched my heart and I couldn’t help but offer a simple prayer that he would return home in safety and that his family would also be protected and strengthened in his absence.

When the boarding call came I made it a point to be the last person to board so that I could further expand the impression that this scene was having on me. As the soldier boarded the plane his three daughters waived to their dad for one last time and then stood there at the window with their mom waiting for the plane to taxi which must have seemed like an eternity for them.

After boarding the plane I thought of the drive home for this mother of three and what must have been going through her mind. I am sure that when she arrived home the silence there was deafening; after all she would be a single mom in many aspects for the next several months ahead. I don’t believe that this was the first time that her husband had been sent away but I also don’t believe that it gets easier with each deployment.

Since then I have had some time to reflect on what I was a witness too. I thought about me and the soldier; here was I boarding a plane to provide my family with a comfortable living while the soldier was boarding the same plane, to possibly be placed in harms way, while his wife and daughters living just became increasingly uncomfortable.

I have thought about what I am doing every day to honor this soldier along with countless others who have served and given their lives in the pursuit of freedom; not to mention the wives, widows and children whose sacrifice is greater in many ways. It led me to commit myself to live each day a little better, try a littler harder, smile a little longer, listen a little more empathetically, anonymously give a little more, hug a little tenderer, and shine a little brighter; to recognize that there is a bigger purpose to life that has little if nothing to do with my own agenda or ego.

On my eighth birthday my grandpa, Glen Stratton, gave me a framed quote, entitled Believers Creed, which I still have today. I suppose that he saw potential in me that was not limited to my age or circumstance.

Believers Creed: Today is the very first day of the rest of my life. This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it…or use it for good, but what I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, and not loss; good and not evil; success, and not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price that I have paid for it. I will try just for today, for you never fail until you stop trying.

The question is then what can we do today to lift hands that hang low, bring a smile to a strangers face, reconcile a broken relationship, and just try a little harder, because true success doesn’t come from what we do for ourselves but what we can do for others.

The Power of Belief

October 29, 2009 By 2 Comments

“The height of your success is determined by the depth of your belief.” -Martin C. Jischke

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the one thing that ensures a successful outcome of our venture.” -William James

Isn’t it true that at the root level of all our actions stems our beliefs? Our beliefs drive our actions and our actions dictate our results. What results are you currently having in your life? Are you where you envisioned yourself to be or are you a little off course? The good news is that although, at this moment, we are the product of our past, our future has not yet been written. We can choose today, at this moment, to decide our future and this begins with belief.

What is belief and how does it determine our future? Belief comes from two words, be and lief. be derives from the root word being or put another way, a state of existence. The second half, lief, comes from the Indo European word leove which means love. Belief means to be in love with. Ask yourself, am I in love with what I am doing or more importantly am I in love with myself? Belief not only is a function of our thoughts, it is a function of the heart. “Change your beliefs and you will change your actions. Change your actions and you will change your results. Change your results and you will change your life.” Ty Bennett

While our beliefs can be very empowering, they can be equally dis-empowering. Sometimes we hold negative beliefs about a person, event, circumstance and even ourselves. It is important to examine our beliefs and release those that are holding us back and sabotaging our potential. On the other hand, we need to embrace those beliefs that propel us forward.

Researchers have determined that less than 5% of the population writes down their goals. When we fail to write down our goals what message are we sending ourselves? Do we fail to write down our goals because we don’t feel that we will obtain them? What if a concrete knowledge of obtaining our goals is not necessary? We only need to have a belief in them or be in love with the result. Start now writing down your goals and be in love with the idea. When you are in love with your goals events, people and circumstances will begin to show up to assist you in achieving them. Remember that your beliefs drive your actions.

Much of my own conviction about belief was built through my study of a friend and mentors audio CD The Power of Belief by Ty Bennett. Ty Bennett is the Founder and President of Leadership Inc. You can purchase your own copy of The Power of Belief by visiting http://LeadershipInc.com/products. I fully encourage everyone who reads this post to get their own copy and apply the principles taught. If you are unable to get a copy contact me so that together we can make arrangements for you to have one.
