Positive Thinking to Personal Success

There are many different things you can do. I’ll talk about one and I’d like to hear from you as to what are others.

1. What is the next position you want? Is it something in your current company? If so, name the position.

2. What skill sets does that position have that are different than yours?

3. Hone into what other skills sets you need.

4. Put a plan together on how you will garner those skill sets. Will you go back to school? Will you take an online course? Do you have tuition money available through your company? Can you get a mentor at work to help you?

5. Once you have these skills and can prove them, apply for the position. (Either at your current work or at another company)

There you go. This is just one example of what you can do. What other suggestions do you have? Let me know by leaving a comment below.

Until next time. Success IS All in Your Mind!

P.S. Remember to sign up on my email list to get your complimentary copy of “The Science of Getting Rich” and “Think and Grow Rich”.  Both are awesome books that will help you out on your path to Personal Success. 

There is a saying in “The Science of Getting Rich” that states if you are good at what you do in your job, your employer will want to keep you there. You are worth more to the company staying in that position. If you are better than your position, you will then move, whether it be in your current company or to another company.

I believe this philosophy and I spend every day trying to be better than my current position. I want as much success as I can have. If I keep doing the things I am doing in the same way, I will stay in the same place. If I do things better, I will eventually move.

I will only move up. There is no other way for me. What about you? What are you doing everyday to be better than your current position?

Have you read “The Science of Getting Rich”? If not,you can sign up on my email list and I will make sure you get a copy. See the box on the right.

Until next time. Success IS All in Your Mind!

Every animal at the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge has a story. Irving, a pit bull and Jack Russell terrier mix, was rescued from a city shelter after he was found wandering the streets. The 1½-year-old is goofy and friendly but suffers from retinal degeneration and is going blind. MuMu, a large domesticated brown tabby, was found living on the street in December. She’s friendly, curious and loves people but is unhappy at the shelter because she’s wary of other cats

Gain Confidence and Boost Self Esteem in 5 Simple Steps
We all want to become more confident and feel good about ourselves so we can live our very best life. Here are some ways to gain confidence and raise self-esteem:

1. Do something that requires a decision and a follow-through.

Have you been putting off writing that letter to aunt Martha? Is there a friend you’ve been meaning to call? Wash the car, tidy the garden or clean the house. You’ll gain confidence by setting goals (even small ones) and following through on them.

2. Enjoy something you do well.

Do you have any hobbies or sports that you enjoy playing? Some things like going swimming, painting or writing can hold your attention and get you into a state of ‘flow’. While you are in the flow you forget about everything else.

Afterwards, you’ll feel competent and capable. It’s a great way to boost your self-esteem. If you don’t have any particular hobbies or pastimes that you enjoy make an effort to try something you’ve always wanted to try.

Picture yourself doing it, and then give it a try! It doesn’t have to be something big - it can be as simple as joining a walking club.

You’ll find that you are more centered and happier if you do something that puts you in that flow at least once a week.

3. Shift the focus.

It’s been shown that low self-esteem develops hand-in-hand with individuals who put too much focus on themselves. You can gain confidence by doing something that focuses on someone else or even something else.

You’ll find that when you are in a situation where you are meeting new people, you immediately become less nervous when you focus on the person you are meeting.

At the end of the day, you’ve interacted with others and will notice that you feel much lighter.

4. Relax, already!

Learning to become more relaxed is a great life enhancer. People who are more relaxed have fewer problems with their memories and are more likely to take the bumps in the road of life in stride.

The practice of meditation has gained popularity for this reason. You might want to look into Tai Chi, which involves physical relaxation techniques.

Whatever method you decide on, take relaxation seriously. The benefits are just too great to ignore. If you’ve never considered relaxation important, think of it this way: if you can attend to something that results in feeling good, how can you not gain confidence in your personal abilities?

5. Make a list of everything you’ve ever accomplished.

Think small. An accomplishment is an accomplishment! Some things you could put on your list: passed my driver’s test and got my license, scored a goal when I played hockey, managed to save enough money to go on a trip and so on.

These are just a few ideas you can use to gain confidence and boost your self-esteem. Use these ideas as a base point and add these things permanently in your life.

Keep in mind, people are not born with good self-esteem, most of us have to work at it. It develops from your thinking and the things you do daily to make yourself feel good.
