The Missing Ingredient to Success
“Love yourself, for if you don’t, how can you expect anybody else to love you?”
The missing ingredient to success is Self-Esteem! Self-esteem is a mix of confidence, positive feelings about yourself, and an ability to grow as a human being. Self-esteem is really one of the most important things you can cultivate in your life. Your life can essentially be condensed to how you feel about yourself, because it often permeates throughout the rest of your life.
People with high self-esteem perform better in life, are happier, and have more fulfilling relationships. But developing self-esteem is harder than you might imagine, because it means battling your inner demons.
It also means trusting yourself, instead of trusting the opinions of others. It means putting your goals and dreams before those of others. That might sound selfish, but until you feel fulfilled and proud of yourself, you won’t be able to help others. Continue reading »
The Difference Between Fulfillment and Achievement
Although the main focus of this blog has been to detail the different aspects of the lives of billionaire women, I like to think that it goes deeper than that. After all, we are all human beings, no matter what our income level or our inheritance accounts. That’s why I think that it’s really important for us to take a step back from the every day routine to look inside. It also helps to know what you’re looking for when you peek inside your own dark abyss. Sometimes we like to think that we are all after something different, but Tony Robbins suggests that all human beings are only trying to meet the same few basic needs. One of these needs is the topic for this post today and I’ll go over the two sides of it in more detail now.
Achievement is…
Dictionary definition: A thing done successfully, typically by effort, courage or skill.
It seems today that everyone is fueled by the golden carrot of achievement. This carrot is dangled in front of us day and night and it is something that gets ingrained in us from birth through social conditioning. We want to succeed, we want to be the good child, the one who does well. So we try harder, put more effort into it and develop our skills. We achieve, whether it is what we want or not. We achieve at school and at work. Then we show off our achievements to everyone through the house we buy, the family we build, and the wardrobe we wear. For men everything revolved around their car, for women it can be the size of the ring on their finger or their beautiful home.
We live in an achievement driven environment and if we don’t have anything to show our achievements, then we feel inferior. Do you ever feel weak explaining your career choices to strangers or new acquaintances? Continue reading »
Learning to Say No Again
When it comes to people who are interested in spirituality, the law of attraction and other self-help topics, I have noticed a strange pattern. It seems that these people appear to outsiders as being more soft and this therefore results in them being exploited more. I don’t know about you, but I often find myself agreeing to do things for other people that I really don’t want to do. You might think that there’s a very simple solution to being in this predicament, and there is. Just say no. We all know this word, but sometimes mustering up the courage or the backbone to say it can be tough.
How many times have you given in to a request to babysit someone’s kids when you were already busy. I’ve done that. How many times have you agreed to proof read someone’s resume (essay, dissertation, etc). Ditto. How many times have you let yourself invite someone who was pressuring you over for dinner? Ditto, ditto. How about pushy sales people who make you feel like you are getting a bargain and then add some hidden costs, while you feel obligated to finalize your purchase despite this fact. Ditto, ditto, ditto. What about tele-marketers calling during dinner? I think you get the picture.
Well this is where all of these push-over tendencies stop. Let us explore a bit more of this “yes-sir” type of mentality before I explain how I plan to stop saying yes to every request thrown at me. Continue reading »
