A positive identity hinges on positive life experiences. An ideal place for positive experiences is in a safe and secure home with a loving family. Unfortunately, many individuals did not have that encouraging atmosphere in which to learn about who and what they had to offer the world. There is a formative time in the life of a child when he is eager to try new and different things and experiences. If the relationships around him or her are supportive, they soon learn they can make mistakes and still be loved. If their inner self-belief is one of confidence and problem solving ability they will be unafraid when unexpected obstacles or opportunities come their way. They will regard themselves as problem solvers and fall back on past experiences where they have succeeded. If they were blamed, shamed or discouraged, they soon learn not to risk failing or rejection. The price of not making it the first time is too high. As adults, we need to revisit some of those past experiences and episodes in our lives that formed our belief systems. With the experiences of an adult we can see that we really did succeed a number of times and need to reframe that memory. I will teach you the three success principals necessary for success in life and you will see how easy it is to realize your dreams. You succeed hundreds of times each day. Recognize, appreciate and acknowledge those small successes and soon you will find it easier to see the large goals come true.

What constitutes respect? Do you have to like someone to be considerate, kind and courteous? How do you work in a relationship where there is an uneven balance of power? Several years ago there was a study done of 100 self made millionaires. They ranged in age from young 19 to well over 70. Their educational experiences extended from grade school to the Ph.D level. They differed in almost all characteristics, except they were all found to be respectful of other people. They had determined early in their careers that everyone had something to teach and to share. They built respectful relationships by learning from others. We tend to treat people like we see them. If we see them as arrogant, snooty or even shy, we tend to treat them in that manner. I just did a radio show recently about a second chance at making a good first impression. You will want to listen to that one, if you haven't already. Once you find the good or ability in other people you treat him or her better and thus they perform better. We all tend to live up to the expectations of other people. If we see people worthy of respect, then we will treat them that way. Even when they do not demonstrate their respect for us, we can still treat them with courtesy. A quote that I love says "If you take a man as he is, you make him worse than he was, but if you see him as being the best person possible, then he, in fact, become the best person possible." Encouragement is giving someone the courage to keep trying, to move forward and to fulfill their destiny. By giving respect and understanding to others in our relationship, we will all move forward.

79% of people who are working would like to change jobs or start their own business, but are scared to death to make waves in today’s economy? Many of our adult children, their friends and many of our Baby Boomer friends are facing unemployment, layoffs, foreclosures and medical bills. No wonder their self- confidence stinks! They are anxious about the future. These are smart, educated and hard working people, just like you. They have been loyal, trust worthy and honest employees or business owners. But now are finding themselves nervous, shaky and self-doubting. I know they were feeling full of worry and fear, so I offered them a crash course in Building Self- Confidence. Soon, the word spread and I was getting lots of requests for the information. It seemed like everywhere I looked people were doubting their own abilities and falling into old patterns of negative thought patterns. Are you: • Concerned about what others think • Unsure of yourself • Anxious in social settings • Worried about the future • Afraid for your family • Concerned about your financial future • Nervous about starting something new • Timid and afraid to voice your opinion • Doubtful about your own abilities • Uneasy in your current situation • Apprehensive or fearful that something bad will happen Notice that people who who think and talk about finding a more satisfying career are much more likely to be doing it. This is called top of mind awareness and it moves us out of living in default by focusing on more of what we want in life. The universe rewards action. The minute we make a decision to move forward towards a goal, doors open up, hands are extended and we are guided to those who can help us. In this segment, I will teach how our subconsious beliefs may be keeping us from reaching our goals and desires. Join us today as we explore how positive action will always follow positive thoughts.
