Are
you happy with where you are? Do you like the results you are having
in your personal and professional life? Well, maybe it is time to do
some rearranging with our thought life.
Being
confident takes effort. It is a state of mind that fluctuates as we
react to our circumstances, mood, physical health, and a whole host
of unknown subconscious factors.
My
life’s work is about understanding how
to maintain this powerful mindset.
Based on the theory that true ‘happiness’ is really about feeling
self-confident, I have devised all sorts of ways to build and
maintain high self-worth.
Try to give rather than get
Most
people try to get things out of life. This is the quickest way to
push the things you want out of your reach. I wish someone had
explained this to me when I was younger.
In
order to “get”, you must give. And you must give fully, with no
condition or expectation of reward. Try to think of life as deal in
VALUE.
To
receive value, you must first give it. Make giving value the goal of
every interaction. When you are talking to someone, ask yourself “How
I can give this person the opportunity to leave here better than when
they came in?”
This
does NOT mean people-please. When you people-please, you are not
giving, you are trying to get. Get liked. Get friends. Get approval.
Get a reputation as the Nice Guy.
Giving
is about ensuring that the person receives what they want,
not what you want. Ask before you give help. Ask permission to serve
others. Expect nothing in return.
You
will be rewarded. This reward will not be what you think you want,
but it will be what you actually need. You’ll just have to trust me
on this one.
