The Power Of Positive BELIEFS!

It's a matter, of, mind, over matter. If you don't have a mind, it doesn't matter! This sage understanding/ statement, usually, credited, to, Groucho Marx, addresses the relationship, between, our mind, and abilities. When combined with a statement, attributed to Henry Ford, You can think you can, or can't. Either way, you'll be correct, we become capable of focusing on, the power of positive BELIEFS! After, over four decades, of articulating, and presenting, personal development seminars/programs, I firmly believe, what we think about ourself, often, is directly, related to personal success, fulfillment, happiness, and well - being! With, that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why it matters.

1. Benefits; better/ best; bring it: Doesn't it make sense, to consider personal options and alternatives, on a risk/ reward basis, so you do, what benefits you, most? The task should focus upon, the best way, to become, personally, stronger, better, happier, and put your, best - foot - forward! Only then, is it possible, to make quality decisions, and bring your finest efforts, towards achieving your objectives!

2. Empathy; emphasis; efforts: Although, we often, consider, being empathetic, towards others, we rarely, proceed, with the same emphasis, on applying, the concepts of genuine empathy, internally! Will you commit, to proceeding, with your finest efforts?

3. Like/ love; learn; level: Proceeding, in an inconsistent, non - level way, rarely, is personally beneficial! Do you, truly, love yourself, or, even, like yourself? Are you willing to effectively, learn, and discuss, what makes you happiest?

4. Ideas; integrity; imagination; intense; ideals: Are you capable of quality ideas, which, align, with your finest ideals?  Will you commit to proceeding, with the utmost degree of absolute, personal integrity? How, well - developed, is your imagination, and might it, make you, more capable, of thinking - outside - the - box, and expanding the limits of your comfort zone? Will you proceed, with intensity, discipline, commitment, and real endurance?

5. Excellence; endurance; enrich: Will you demand personal excellence, or settle, for, good - enough? Are you willing, to proceed with consistency, and endurance, and doing, what may be needed, to enrich yourself, and your personal experiences, etc?

6. Face facts; fate; fortune; function: Lying, to yourself, is rarely, worthwhile, or beneficial! Are you, able, to face the facts, and, use those, to function, to the best, of your abilities, and maximize, your chances, to enhance your fortune, in all areas of your life?

7. Self; self - help; stronger: What might you do, to maximize, your possibilities, for self - help? Does your personal commitment, to all aspects, of your self, emphasize making you stronger, happier, and more content?

The better you understand, know, and effectively, realize the power of your personal BELIEFS, the better your personal possibilities! Are you ready, willing, and able to become your own, best friend?

5 Keys To Make Self - Help Work!

How can anyone, become, the best, he could possibly be, unless/ until, he, first, did everything, possible, to help, himself? While, we often, hear someone, discuss, self - help, it will only make a quality, change, for the better, when/ if, you, proactively, use a variety of methods, and steps, to achieve the most - desirable, results! After, more than four decades, of involvement, in training people, and giving, personal development seminars, I have come to realize, how important, it is, to take advantage of, these 5 keys, to make self - help, work, effectively. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, some of these, and, how one might, use these effectively.

1. Check - up from the neck - up: Although, it is wise, to do so, very few of us, actually, take the time, and make a concerted effort, to examine ourselves, honestly, and introspectively, or, what I refer to, as, giving yourself, a check - up, from the neck - up! Do this, as you might, evaluate, someone else, in a truly, objective way! What do you like, best, about, you, and what, are you, less - than - pleased, with/ about? Be thorough, and, brutally, honest, for your own, best - interests!

2. Short - term, interim, longer - term: What do you seek, in the short - term/ immediate, interim, and longer - term? How will you reach, these objectives? What should you do, to ensure this, and will you be ready, willing, and able to proceed, with the combination of discipline, and commitment? Will you maintain the endurance, and emphasis, needed, to get, where you hope, to be?

3. Your personal discipline/ How important are your goals, and aspirations?: Are your goals, truly, yours, and how motivating, and personally, inspiring, are they, to you? Will you proceed, and maintain, the necessary degree, of personal discipline, to reach these? Will you maintain the discipline, despite potential obstacles? Will you consider obstacles, to be, challenges to overcome, or problems?

4. Using personal affirmations: Creating, and using an Affirmation List, correctly, and regularly/ consistently, is often, a very effective way, to maintain a productive, positive, can - do, attitude, and take the steps, regularly, to proceed, with the best plan, approach, strategy, and actions, which might work, for you. Limit this list, to ten items, word them in positive (proactive) terms, commit to reading/ reviewing, and caring about them, several times, per day, and, your chances of achieving, are usually, exponentially, improved!

5. Do you, truly, want to make yourself, better?: Do you, really, want to be better, and will you commit, to taking, the steps, needed, to achieve your personal objectives? Don't try to become a clone, of someone, else, but, rather, be the best, you, can become!

Self - help only helps, and works, if you really, want it to! Don't take short - cuts, but maintain the endurance, and persist, and you'll be, on your path, to where you hope, to be!

Are you ready, to examine, and determine/ identify, your personal strengths, and weaknesses, and proactively, use your areas of strength, while addressing every weakness, in order to become stronger, and more content? Will you commit to proceeding, with the best strategy, for you, do determine the best, potential solutions, which might help you, become the best, you can be?

However, only, when, we proceed, to bring these actions, and steps, to fruition, will we begin, to make genuine progress, etc! 

5. Healing; head/ heart: Inner healing comes from balancing our emotional, and logical components, using a head/ heart balance, so we can proceed, in a way, which works best, for us! 

6. Excellence; endurance; energy/ energize: Strive to demand your utmost degree of personal excellence, instead of, merely, accepting, and being satisfied, with good - enough! There are, often, obstacles, in this quest, and, therefore, it is wise, to proceed, with true endurance, and patience! Your inner, personal energy, must be effectively transformed, and used, to energize yourself, in the most productive, personally, meaningful way! 

7. Love/ like; live/ life: Few people, even, truly, like themselves, and fewer, love what they are all - about! Our finest quest, must be, to live our life, in such a way, to become the best, we can be! 

8. Priorities; planning; phases; process: Take the time, to determine your personal priorities, and why, these things, mean the most, to you! It takes thorough, planning, to proceed, with a process, which works, for you! Remember, it takes, proceeding in phases, with patience, and self - endurance, remembering, the adage, How do you eat an elephant? One step, at a time! 

If you want to be happier, healthier, and more personally, satisfied, proceed, using the basics, and essence, of, SELF HELP! How much does this matter, to you?
