Let’s talk about our “comfort zone”  Do you really know what your comfort zone is or what that means?  Your comfort zone is that place where you feel safe, where things are routine and predictable.  Sounds like a good place to be doesn’t it?  Well it’s far from it!  If you are being complacent and satisfied in your comfort zone then little to your knowledge you are not growing…and if you are not growing then what are you doing?? Right, if you are not growing…you are dieing. Having low self-esteem plays a huge role in keeping us in our comfort zone.  Sometimes what we call procrastination, lack of motivation, or boredom is really just another way of saying “comfort zone’

Once you have settled into your comfort zone it is hard to break free to be the success that we were created to be. Your self-esteem plays a very important role in all of this. Did you know that by the age of 6 we have all been programmed with the fear of failure and rejection? That’s right, by the age of 6!  That is sad that we put that kind of pressure on our children. These fears usually set the limits of your comfort zone both high and low, and you quickly learn how you can stay within your limits. You know how to do just enough not to get criticized or rejected and how to avoid failure…..you slip into your comfort zone, you stay there, and try to avoid any feelings of fear and anxiety. Your fears hold you back from most of the amazing things that are possible for you. Fear is a killer!

One way to combat fear is love, Love of Self and self-esteem. This is the way out!   If you learn to love yourself, the less likely you will be to fear failure and rejection and the more likely you will step out of your comfort zone and take the needed risk and action that you need to take to live outside the box and reach for your goals and desires, to live the life you dream of.

You have to make a decision, do you want to sit there in your comfort zone and get what you have always gotten? or are you ready to step outside of your zone and live a life of greatness, the life of your dreams? the choice really is yours, no one can make it for you.

So do yourself a favor and work on creating higher self esteem, learn to become lovable, it’s all a mind set and there are products and information out there to help you to do just that. There is an e-book “How to Build Higher Self-Esteem in Just One Weekend” that is full of information and exercises to help you change and improve your self-esteem. If you want to push yourself a little further then there is a program with several audio’s called “Social Strategies” that gives you exercises that will help you to step outside the box and leave your comfort zone.

If you have no idea what you are capable of achieving then you should read the e-book “Science of Success” it is an A-Z guide designed to help you understand how powerful your mind really is.

Let me stop here and leave you with this….You can achieve anything that you can imagine! but you have to BELEIVE it.

P.S. here is something else that might be of interest to you…”The DNA of Success” it will help you to discover your core desires.

I had a lot of things happen to me this week and it has been a little bit of a struggle but I have managed to make it through so far.

I received some bad news the first of the week, a friend of mine had passed away. She was the sweetest little old lady, very frail, a very fair complexion, red hair and she wore dark berry colored lipstick, a very unique individual. We met after she moved to the town I live in from Arizona; she was a customer of the place I work. She took a liking to me when she came back in the next time and I had remembered her name, that’s a gift I have is remembering names, and that was the beginning of our friendship. It’s funny how such a small thing could mean so much to a person. When she would come in we were always so happy to see each other and to catch up on how each other was feeling, I know she wasn’t well and she knew that I had had some health issues too. It’s really nice to know that someone genuinely cares and is concerned about you, a real ego boost. We all need people around us like Juanita, and even more, we need to be more like her and empower and nurture others. Bonding, which is the physical/emotional phenomenon between individuals and others in their environment, is necessary for the development of healthy self –esteem. Such a bond gives you the freedom to be yourself and know that it’s “ok” this person is going to like you just the same.

I know in this fast paced world we live in that it’s hard sometimes to stop and take the time to just listen, that’s all, just listen to someone that needs someone to listen, that might be lonely and in need of a friend. It’s sad that we always talked about going to lunch together but that never seemed to come about regretfully, our relationship never ventured from the work place, but that’s ok because we had a bond that not many people have the luxury of ever knowing.

I will miss Juanita greatly but I know that she is in a far better place now, free of pain and suffering. Our Life on Earth is just a Whisper, Greater Things are Yet to Come!

Whether you are suffering from low self-esteem or know someone that is take the time to listen and give to others of yourself, that can be the greatest gift ever given.

If you would like further information on bonding and how to empower yourself through giving you might want to check out the e-book “How to Build Your Self-Esteem in Just One Weekend” it covers that topic and many more.

You might also find the e-book “The Science of Success” worth reading, it is an A-Z guide full of principles, if applied, with improve the quality of your life dramatically.

I recently ran across another program “Social Strategies” that has several audios you can listen to explaining exercises or “games” you can try to help you overcome such things as shyness or social stresses, both of which stem from low self-esteem.

Let’s work together to create the life you have been dreaming of and thought was totally out of reach, it starts with just one step, lets take it together. I’m here for you!

God Bless you!

Empower Yourself to become all that you were created to be!  We were all created for a reason and I believe it was to be a success. What exactly does success mean to you?  Everyone probably has a different answer to that question and all of them would be right, for “YOU”. You don’t need to have power over anyone to be successful. You only need to have the power and control over your own thoughts to get everything you want out of life. You are a Unique individual and you have something special to give to the world, whether it be a special gift or talent the fact remains that you have the choice to make it be whatever you choose it to be, You have the power.

Now that you know you have the Power, USE it! Empower yourself to become a success! You can be anything you want to be all you have to do is believe it. I’m sure you have heard the expression that “The mind is a terrible thing to waste” well it’s true, the mind is very powerful and we need to learn to use that power to highest good. If you think things like “I am so poor” then that’s how it is going to be for you, you will never feel you have enough. Now don’t think you can just sit back and wish yourself rich and successful either because it doesn’t work without effort, you have to decide you want it bad enough to put forth the effort to get what you desire.

I recently came across an e-book titled “The Science of Success” that gives you the understanding of what you can achieve once you set your mind to achieving it. It is a very simple to understand e-book that gives you a lot of information in a short easy to understand way, kind of like the A-Z guide to understanding how to achieve success and empowerment. This book would be a great addition to the book “How To Build Your Self-Esteem in Just One Weekend” Remember that you have to love yourself first!
