In today’s society we are bombarded with messages, both in real life and online, that tell us to feel insecure. Don’t look to others for your self worth. Don’t take responsibility for your actions. Don’t accept others help. Feel ashamed of your weaknesses and then you’ll never have weaknesses.
The quick answer is to accept that we all have strengths and weaknesses and that we deserve to be confident, not ashamed. The more challenging answer is to understand that strong people don’t dwell on our flaws and weaknesses. They don’t try to convince us that we are OK as we are.
The strong don’t compare ourselves to others and they don’t try to make us feel weak. They know that as long as we focus on ourselves and our own abilities then we will never be able to achieve anything great. They see their own greatness as being within their reach.
It is important to understand this and accept that these strong individuals are not perfect. They make mistakes and they have areas in which they are still working on. Don’t judge them or judge yourself. Focus on yourself and try to improve yourself. I promise you that if you can create a strong mental image of yourself doing what you love to do – doing what you love to do, you will start to feel strong. Once you get strong you will find it easy to accept the help needed to grow, improve and become what you want.
We cannot feel strong if we are in pain or suffering. We cannot feel strong while we are hurting and hurting. We cannot feel strong if we are struggling and struggling but we cannot accept defeat either. Strong people don’t accept defeat. Strong people don’t give up. The stronger we are, the harder we fight, work, work and fight. The stronger we are, the more we love what we do, the more we love what we have and the more we love life.
Do you find it hard to stay strong and fight for what you love? When was the last time you fought for your love of what you do? And fight for the things that you have? Remember: What you focus on grows, what you reject dies. We can find strength in our dreams because we focus on them and we dream of them. But we need to keep pushing forward and pushing towards them.
This is the essence of what the self-improvement industry is all about: We focus on what we want and we see our dreams manifest.
As a business executive and as a woman coach I always believe in and work with people. I believe that with the help of my coach, I can increase my productivity and become more productive. What I do not believe is that it will happen overnight but I know that I can work on being more productive.
When you become more productive your results improve. And your results improve your confidence, which helps you attract more clients and increase your income. You are already a coach so this is not something new you need to worry about. But the more we focus on what we want, the more we focus on it as if it was already here, the more we focus on what we have the more we forget what we want.
Here is a great quote from an autobiography of Robert Kaufman:
“The mind that sees all has a thousand names. It is called intuition, inspiration, mental obsession, daydreaming, daydreaming or daydreaming, imagination. It is the faculty by which we create our own reality by way of our imagination. Imagination is nothing more nor less than an exalted notion.”
In a letter Robert wrote to a friend: “For so many years I have been engaged in what you may call daydreaming. … I think I am beginning to understand what was foretold in the Scriptures about the day that the Lord shall create the elements; and the elements shall be turned to bread. Now when this comes to pass, not one of the elements will fail to turn to something else. For a certainty, the elements will not fail to turn to something else. In fact, there will not be any such thing as a non-existent element.”
When I read these words the last words of Robert Kaufman, I became emotional, because I understood what he meant when he said that we will lose our “faith in ourselves” if we do not become more creative and strive for more goals, and greater achievements. We will start believing that we need to find money to become more productive, instead of believing that our potential, can bring more money. In fact, you and I will become the beggars that is written in the book of Genesis. We will need to be the most creative that we can be in order to give to the cause of giving.
“For the love of money is the root of all evil. Now if I have loved money, I have also loved in some manner you also. And that I might know whether you love money or whether you love me.” James 2:4-6
I am sure that you have heard it said that money is the root of all evil. To say this implies that money is the root of all evil, and that in some form it is a problem that we need to be on the lookout for, rather than accepting what we have been told. We are taught that when we have more money we will be able to buy us some form of happiness, and a better life. But as I have read all the books and talks I have also become aware that there are some authors and speakers who say that if we have more money we will be able to buy us that better life where we can enjoy it in our new abode.
In fact, that is not the true way of enjoying the better life, in the best way is to give of our time, our talent, and our wealth. There is no better life if you do not give to it. The real good life is to give of yourself and share what you have, but the problem of finding the time to give, is the author of these opinions have spent most of their life in one place, or doing one job. The only way to find the time to give, is to be happy to do what you have to do. But even in the best of times, is there time to spend with family and friends?
The true happy life is to help others with your knowledge of the subject you are studying. But is the real joy found in your work?
There is no happiness in our work, but found in our ability to serve others, and to be creative and imaginative. And when you are creative and imaginative, you will understand things more deeply, and in turn help others to do the same.
When you help others you will create the true joy, and true happiness in life. There is no work that is not creative and imaginative, that does not have a great return to your effort, and when you can work from home you have the choice to return to your work, and have the great return, that no other place offers.
So is it the true happiness to be a millionaire? No, but you can be a millionaire by living a happy life, and giving freely of yourself. That is true happiness, and when you are able to give freely of yourself, you live your life like you are already a millionaire.
And if you already are a millionaire, and you give freely of yourself to others, you already have the happiness that it takes to be a millionaire. When you have the happiness to give freely of yourself to others, you already have the happiness to be a millionaire.
"You must nurture your own inner being to accept yourself as you are. If you don't accept yourself, you will never be at peace with yourself."
