Seeing Your Worth

Seeing Your Worth

I hope by now, you are one who can see your

own worth and good traits.  There are plenty of people with whom you rub elbows and they will gladly tell you your faults, weaknesses and lesser qualities.

We learn to tune them out.  And we learn to tune in to our strong forces within.  What CAN you do?  Of what are you fully capable of performing?

We could choose to listen to our negative mind and believe we are worthless, of no value and have no redeeming qualities.

We could, you know.

Rather … we want to hold a loftier image of ourselves.  We want to believe in the good that lies within, the capable and the useful. 

I AM are two powerful words we need to latch onto, for what follows those words matter.

I AM …

~Stronger than I think

~Good at math

~Good at writing

~Resilient

~Capable of most things to which I set my mind

What is your I AM motto?

See it.

Believe it.

Practice saying it.

This is my

morning reflection.

How Far Can You See?

How Far Can You See?

When I started blogging in 2009 I had one blog site.  I often worried about running out of ideas.  And then what.  Magically, the ideas have continued, and they’ve continued to such a degree that I now have six blog sites, and at times the ideas come tumbling out, one upon another.  I love that. 

That fits with this blog tonight.  And it fits into a lot of life’s issues, I think. 

I’ve heard authors talk about how the next idea for the next book came to them while writing the first book. 

Vision is what we are dancing around, you know.  And I hope you have a vision.  It’s a matter of seeing the invisible, until the invisible begins to take shape and form while we on our way to our goals and dreams.

At this moment, I have enough blog idea resources to last me another twenty years, and every day I find yet another seed of an idea.  I’m seeing further every day.

Are you?

This is my

morning reflection.

What Is Your Opinion of You?

What Is Your Opinion of You?

Before you read, just know this.  This is not a feel-good, pop psychology “positive thinking” approach.  It will be, I hope, a wake-up call to getting to know ‘self’ better.

If you are like most, you have formed your opinions of yourself based on what others have said about you.

“Oh, you’re the singer of the family.”

“You, why you couldn’t keep a job if it was chained to your neck.”

“You’re the smart one.”

“You’re the dumb one.”

“You’re clumsy.”

“You are so coordinated.”

“You are just like your father.”

“You never take risks.”

And these opinions stick around, because somewhere along the way we started to believe them and embrace them. 

People imagine us in ways that suit them, whether it suits us or not.  And that doesn’t mean you have to listen to their opinions and especially believe their opinions. 

So, this ‘opinion’ you hold of yourself … what is it based on?

What a great question.  And that question demands to be dealt with.

The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves tend to confine us.  They tend to suck us in and lock us down based on whatever narrative we tell, and continue to tell. 

It is a nasty circle, and it can change. 

First – determine what you are not!  Set boundaries.  Stop the chants inside your own head. 

Second – find a way to do some re-framing of your story.  The beginning point for that journey is the old saying – Know Thyself.

And that is the hardest journey you will ever begin. 

You can survive that trip – just buckle down and do the hard work.  Seek professional help if you need it.  And come to grips with who you are NOT and then who you ARE will start to come out of hiding. 

Success to you along the way.

This is my

morning reflection.
