I am unique.

Written by graham and julie


We have given a lot of thought, paid an indecent amount of money and taken much action overrepparttar years to changerepparttar 122823 way we are. To become ‘better’ human beings. To makerepparttar 122824 most of this life we have. To get rid ofrepparttar 122825 behaviours that are counterproductive. The behaviours that cause harm to us and others.

We have attended numerous courses, workshops and seminars aroundrepparttar 122826 world. Only to find thatrepparttar 122827 bottom line is that no one can do it except us. No one can changerepparttar 122828 way you are except you.

Adding a technique or two, or focussing on a behaviour that causes upset does not work. In order to ensure you are constantly happy, healthy and more at peace withrepparttar 122829 world you need to changerepparttar 122830 way you think about yourself.

Have you ever thought aboutrepparttar 122831 way you describe yourself? When you are asked who are you? What do you reply? Do you start with your occupation or your role? If you did you replied inrepparttar 122832 way you have been trained by society. But you answeredrepparttar 122833 wrong question. You answeredrepparttar 122834 question What are you? Or What do you do?

So when asked: Who are you? What isrepparttar 122835 reply? One answer would be, “ I am a human being”. OK . Now turn it on its head. What about: A being that happens to be human? How does that fit? Does that describe who you are?

But, what does that mean? What does it mean to be a being that happens to be human? Aren’t you just playing on words?

No. To us it is important. It changesrepparttar 122836 way you view yourself. For usrepparttar 122837 phrase; ‘ a being that happens to be human’ means someone who is unfinished, uncompleted. Someone who is on a journey. Someone who is becoming something. Someone who has a natural tendency to grow. Someone who is free to choose whatever path they want. Someone who, left alone, naturally chooses positive and constructive paths. Someone who has a natural tendency to grow, to develop, to achieve their natural potential.

We know, it sounds scary, but just think about this for a moment. Wherever you go for a bit of peace and quiet go there and think for a moment.

I am a being. Someone who naturally chooses what is best for me. Someone who is always becoming. Someone who has an inherent talent to take care of themselves. Someone who is naturally motivated to grow, to develop and to achieve their natural potential.

This means: not only are you are unique but you have a natural ability to move towards fulfilling your potential.

Take a minute and look back over your life. Note down allrepparttar 122838 major events good and bad. Now review them. When you look back were they turning moments in your life? Can you see a benefit? Can you see how you are choosing what is best for you even though it didn’t feel like it atrepparttar 122839 time?

Motivation Development

Motivation Development by Alan Tutt bttp://www.KeysToPowerProsperity.com

Motivation is one ofrepparttar core qualities required for success in many areas. Without motivation, you are likely to not do anything towards your goals, which will guarantee failure, regardless of what other qualities and skills you have. As such, motivation isrepparttar 122822 first thing that should be developed.

A lot of people think of motivation asrepparttar 122823 excited speaker or sports coach that yells at you to get you to do something. Although having someone yelling at you can create temporary motivation, it's not motivation itself. This program on motivation won't yell at you, nor will it require that you yell at yourself, although you certainly may if you want to.

In order to develop natural motivation, there are several components that need to be in place. There are a few pre-existing conditions that are required any time you want to generate motivation to pursue a goal. These conditions are: adequate rest, proper balance in diet, adequate physical exercise, and plenty of oxygen. These conditions will prepare your body, which will provide a healthy environment for your mind.

Once your body is prepared, motivation can be created in your mind. Here again, there are several factors involved inrepparttar 122824 process. You must choose to focus onrepparttar 122825 process. Whether you are able to maintain that focus at this point or not is not relevant. Whatever degree of focus that you are able to devote torepparttar 122826 process will be sufficient, as it will grow in time and with use.

With this focus, you will repeat many different statements to yourself, imagining these statements as being reality. Inrepparttar 122827 beginning, you will notice a difference betweenrepparttar 122828 statements and what you've experienced up until this time. As you continue withrepparttar 122829 process, your inner mind will begin to acceptrepparttar 122830 statements as being true for you, and you may even begin remembering times inrepparttar 122831 past when these statements did seem to be true. Eventually, you will only rememberrepparttar 122832 experiences that supportrepparttar 122833 new statements of belief, and they will be as true for you then as your current beliefs are now. The time required to reach this point is different for every individual and depends on many pre-existing beliefs and conditions. But as one step at a time will take you acrossrepparttar 122834 continent, one statement at a time will change your beliefs.

The first set of statements that you will 'program' into your inner mind deal with your belief in yourself. Without belief in yourself, you will not be motivated to try anything. Andrepparttar 122835 more difficultrepparttar 122836 task ahead of you,repparttar 122837 stronger your belief in yourself needs to be. A lot of people seem to feel that they are worthless, or not capable of anything, and this shows a very weak belief in themselves. Other people feel that they can do anything and nothing can stop them. This indicates a very strong self-belief. The majority ofrepparttar 122838 world fits between these two extremes. Wherever you sit on this scale of self-belief,repparttar 122839 process I am outlining will move you higher alongrepparttar 122840 scale. The type of statements that fall into this category sound like "I am valuable. I can do anything I want to do. I have a natural tendency to dorepparttar 122841 right thing atrepparttar 122842 right time. I do what I need to do when I need to do it."

The next set of beliefs that you will program into your inner mind will refer to your belief inrepparttar 122843 activity that you want to feel motivated to perform. These beliefs will focus primarily onrepparttar 122844 results you belief will come from performingrepparttar 122845 activity. For instance, if you want to motivate yourself to get more physical exercise, then these statements of belief will be aboutrepparttar 122846 benefits of exercise - good health, more energy, greater attractiveness, longer life, greater stamina, and that kind of thing. If you are wanting to motivate yourself to become more outgoing in social situations, your statements will focus on winning more friends, finding more opportunities, having fun, gaining respect, gaining authority, and other such benefits. The more benefits you belief are waiting for you in performingrepparttar 122847 activity you are considering,repparttar 122848 more motivated you will be.

The third set of statements connectrepparttar 122849 first two sets and work to create an expectation of success. Belief in success comes from believing thatrepparttar 122850 expected results of an activity can be achieved by you. These 'bridge' statements are important in order to amplifyrepparttar 122851 effect ofrepparttar 122852 first two sets of statements. The simplest statement, which can be used in all situations, is "I can do it. I will succeed." Straight fromrepparttar 122853 old story of "The Little Engine That Could", you could also userepparttar 122854 phrase "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can."
