A success story

Bill — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:56:05 +0000

“Things are going great for me. I am completely out of my
toxic relationship, left my job at Saks that I was not happy with, I have the
best relationships with family and friends, and am currently embarking on my
career search.

I don’t believe I would
have had the confidence or courage to go through with these hard decisions if
it wasn’t for your course. I have never felt so secure with who I am or been so
confident and happy in my life.

I have learned to “thrive in the
chaos” as you would say. I wanted
to write this email to show both yourself and Linda my great appreciation for
your love and support. You are 2 of the most selfless, loving, and
inspirational people I have ever met. I am so grateful that I took your course
and that both of you came into my life.”

Imagine getting these kind of results in your own life or for someone you care about.

What Is Networking?

Bill — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 18:31:45 +0000

When you hear the word “network”, what do you think? Is it radio or television network? Is it a network of friends, family, or business associates? What about the work connection? Does that mean a peer connection, a mentor connection, or a career connection?

Now what about the word “feedback”? Does that mean telling members of your family how much you appreciate them? Does feedback mean giving your children specific affirmations about their value and skills, as well as paying attention to their interests? Does feedback mean staying in touch with important people in your life by creating a network of significant others and connecting with them? Some of the ways you can do that are by:

1. Writing to people.

2. Calling people.

3. Giving gifts.

4. Meeting people face to face.

5. Visiting people on a regular basis.

6. Being open to new relationships.

7. Increasing your flexibility.

8. Exploring a larger you.

9. Releasing past resentments.

10. Forgiving all hurts

11. Appreciating different beliefs.

12. Beginning again.

13. Clarifying your desires and values.

14. Choosing to connect and network daily.

15. Making agreements and commitments and keep them.

16. Allowing for playfulness.

17. Taking action, however small.

18. Enjoying self expression and conversation.

19. Listening with alert compassion.

20. Being open to adventure and fun.

21. Discovering your inner resources.

22. Developing your Self-Esteem skills daily.

23. Increasing your range of choices by considering more options in your life.

Decide now to build your own network of family and others in an intact Self-Esteem way.

Make deep connections and give specific feedback and then, watch what happens!

What Are Your Values?

Bill — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:00:35 +0000

How do you feel about the conflict that exists in the world? If you look at it, you will recognize that conflict results from opposing values. Everyone has a set of values. These are intense beliefs about specific ideas, people, or situations. For example, if I say, “All violence is a request for love” – there could be some people with a different point of view who may not agree.

Do you recall the nuclear reactor meltdown situation that occurred many years ago in Russia? The Russians kept this information secret. This is an example of values conflict. Over 3,000 people from Sweden had consequences because of radioactive fallout.

The value of life is an important issue for many people. Every day you make values’ choices that trigger pain or pleasure. The people you associate with is a values’ choice. The person you marry is a values’ choice. The work you do is a values’ choice. Where you live is a values’ choice. The causes you work for is a values’ choice. How we treat others is a values’ choice. Our behavior tells the world our values.

There are universal values such as peace, honesty, and integrity. Two ultimate values are wisdom and love. Our values are set early in childhood. Research shows that by age 10 we have well defined values. After age 10 we are bombarded with invitations to change our values. Television, magazines, newspapers, and other people may influence our values. So our values are subject to change.

There are four value systems. First, there is the Challenger values system. These people are very self-centered. Next is the In-Betweener values system. These people have difficulty making decisions. Third, there is the Traditional values system which is based on a system of principles. Finally there is the Synthesis values system. These people can get along with anyone. They are clear. They are leaders. They have integrity. Only 2% of the population are in the Synthesis Value System. It takes intact Self-Esteem to reach the Synthesis Values System.

When our values are clear, decision making is easy. Values clarification is a life long process. Only your Self-Esteem can create clarity.

Observe the ongoing scenario of your life, make your own values decision, and then, watch what happens!
