True Personal Development Leads To a Successful, Happy, Fulfilled Life!

Personal Belief in Yourself with Unbreakable Self Expectancy!

Positive self expectancy is pure and simple, optimism, real enthusiasm for everything you do. Optimism is expecting the most favorable result from your own actions. Personal development, headed in the right direction, means that you expect to win at everything you do.

A true winner in life knows that they determine their own outcomes in life. They believe in themselves, they have no doubt that they will be successful at whatever they attempt.

So winners believe that hope, and a deep unbreakable faith guided into a strong attitude of positive self expectancy, is the driving force behind all creative motivating energy.

You don't need special attention to know you are a winner, with true personal development you will find your path to success.

Success can hold many meanings, it is a very individual thing. I believe true success is displayed in the way you treat your fellow man. I don't believe success can be found in the selfish individual.

True success is shared with the world, it is used to accomplish good and noble acts in society.

An individual who uses his natural born talents along with all the skill and knowledge they have developed throughout life to engage in a worth while purpose, has discovered success.

In your desire for personal development there are two powerful sets of great expectations affecting your life.

First there are the expectations that others close to you have for you. Then there are the expectations that you have for yourself.

Although we may try to live up to the standards and expectations others have for us, there is no question that the expectations we have for ourselves and our own limitations is what will determine our true success.

What the mind dwells upon the body acts upon.

In your works for personal development, having the first quality of a true winner, that of positive self expectancy is a major step toward your ultimate end goal.

The true winners in life have a wonderful quality of high favorable expectations. They just naturally expect to have a good day, to get a raise at work, to have a wonderful family life, for there children to do well and excel.

Winners know that their actions will be controlled by their dominant thoughts. That is why they live their life based on positive thinking.

Losers generally expect more of the same frustrations, more problems, the loss of a job, a dull evening, bad service in a restaurant, and failure.

But most importantly losers expect to feel bad and get sick...and they do!

If you are failing at your own personal development, you will begin to feel, act and live as a loser. Having such poor expectations of yourself and the events around you has a proven effect on your overall accomplishments and well being.

When you don't live with positive self expectancy, then you can be sure that you will live with many failures and your health will be diminished.

Optimism as a Way of Life Will Have Dramatic Effects on Your Personal Development!

Think about Helen Keller, who graduated magma cum latte and devoted her life to the service of others, although she had been deaf and blind since infancy.

Optimism opens up the whole world to the believers, the ones who expect to be the best.

When you clicked on the link that brought you to my site, you optimistically chose to work upon your own personal development. Your self expectancy was working in over drive, you made a conscious choice to search for something.

You read the description of the page, and you were looking for some positive hope that there is more to life, and you chose on your own to see what you could find.

You displayed optimism in action, in your own life, in your search for personal development in some positive way, and I hope you find some value here, something to help you in your search to better yourself.

Choosing optimism is a no lose situation, you should fill your days with such thoughts, it will improve the quality of your life in ways that can't be described.

You know, I once had a 98 year old neighbor, who planted an orange and a grapefruit tree in his yard. When I spoke with him he was so excited, he talked about eating the fruit from those trees he planted himself. He knew it would be 4 years before they ever produced some fruit.

Now he had optimism, and it showed in his life for as long as I knew him. That sweet old guy was always happy, and always on the move, you could see in his face that he expected the best of every situation.

I learned a lot from that sweet old man, he taught me that believing in positive outcomes was a wonderful way to live. I learned from him that I would always work on improving my own personal development, because I wanted to live everyday as he had, with a positive self expectancy.

There is no better way to learn a good habit then by actually getting in and doing it and living it.

In dealing with other people, instead of griping try praising, in place of cynicism try optimism, instead of being unhelpfully critical, try being constructively helpful.

You know these are learned habits to, and everyone is dependent on others for at least part of their own self expectancy.

For your own personal development, start getting excited and enthusiastic about your own dream, this excitement is like a forest fire, you can smell it, taste it, and see it a mile away.

Everybody loves a winner, but nobody crowds around a losers locker room, so don't run around with the doom sayers who look up and shout the sky is always falling.

Optimism and realism do go together, their the problem solving twins.

Pessimism and cynicism are the two worst companions, so surround yourself with the eagles, the no problem, can do type, with big dreams like your own. It is the excitement of the big dreams that carries you through the setbacks that you encounter.

The single most outwardly identifiable quality of a winner is positive self expectancy, optimism its the key to good health, its the key to happiness and it puts the favorable inclination toward the achievement of every goal you set.

Ignite optimism into your life and keep your drive for improved personal development flowing like the Niagara River.

I am a Western New Yorker, so the awesome beauty of the Niagara River and Niagara Falls are within driving distance of my home.

Positive Self Motivation a Major Key in Personal Development!

There never was a consistent winner in any walk of life, who didn't have that burning desire to win internalized. Winners know that the basic behavioral axium in life is the fact that you and I do become what we think about most.

You and I are motivated everyday and moved by our currently dominant thoughts. In other words we move only in the direction of that what we dwell on.

Everyone in life is self motivated, a little bit or a lot, positively or negatively, even a decision to do nothing is a decision based on motivation.

Motivation is a force which moves us to action, and it springs from inside the individual.

Motivation is defined as a strong tendency toward or away from an object or situation, and it can be learned and developed, it doesn't have to be inborn.

Anyone wishing to improve upon their personal development has to, in one way or another ignite their own motivation.

For too long it has been wrongly assumed that motivation is extraneous, that it can be pumped in from the outside through pep talks, or contests or rallies. Such activities do provide concepts in education, encouragement, and inspiration for individuals to turn on their creative powers, but only if they want to and only if internalized.

That's the secret, lasting change is effected only when the need for change is both understood and internalized. Until the reward or incentive has been interrupted and internalized it has no motivational power at all.

So the real winners in life are the people who have developed, as a result of an overall attitude of positive self expectancy, or optimism, a strong positive self motivation. This is key to improving upon your own personal development.

In other words they developed this ability to move in the direction of goals that they set, or roles they want to play, and they will tolerate little or no distraction from moving towards those goals.

In the face of all discouragement, mistakes, and setbacks, this inner drive keeps them moving upward towards self fulfillment.

Motivation is a very emotional state, and the great physical and mental motivators in life, such as survival, hunger, thirst, revenge, and love are all charged with emotion.

The two key emotions which dominate all human motivation with opposite but nearly equal results are fear and desire.

Fear is the most powerful negative motivator of all, fear is the great compeler and the great inhibitor, fear restricts, tightens and panics, forces and ultimately scuttles plans and defeats goals.

Fear can destroy a persons personal development and inhibit any attempt to improve it.

Desire, conversely is like a strong positive magnet, it attracts, reaches, opens, and directs, and encourages, and achieves goals.

Fear and desire are poles apart and they lead to alternate destiny's in life, fear always looks to the past, and desire looks to the future.

Fear vividly replays haunting experiences of failure, pain, disappointment, and unpleasantness and is a dogged reminder that the same experiences are likely to repeat themselves.

Desire on the other hand, triggers memory of pleasure and success, it excites the need to replay these and to create new winning experiences.

The consuming prison words of the fearsome person are likely to be, I have to, I can't, I see risk, and I wish.

But desire says I want to, I can, I see opportunity, and I will. Desire is that emotional state between where you are and where you want to be.

To have successful personal development, we have to learn to deal with fear as well as with desire.

In life winners know that all of their actions will be controlled by their currently dominant thoughts and that you cannot dwell on the reverse of an idea.

That's why you can't lose weight if you keep thinking about how fat you are, you can't stop smoking if you see yourself as a smoker and that's why you can't get rich if you are worried about your bills.

Winners see risk as opportunity, they see the rewards of success in advance, and they don't see the penalties of failure. They see personal development as a positive step towards a better life.

Individuals dominated by fear, they can't act with choice or positive intent, they go through life reacting in defensive. People who are dominated by stress are unable to change the world they live in, the world they live in alters them.

It's a strange and sobering, fact that the thing we fear most, we ourselves bring to pass.

Burning desire is the perfect mental anecdote, for fear, and despair. Desire sparks activity which burns up excessive adrenaline in the system. It keeps the mind busy and the hope of achievement alive.

High achievers in live have strong personal development skills and they hold a high degree of motivation. The enduring power that moves them to action comes from inside themselves.

Success in life is not reserved for the few, success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence.

We need to really learn and remember how to really develop this winning action quality of positive self motivation. It's important for you to remember that everybody is self motivated, either a little bit or a lot, positively or negatively and that motivation is not optional, even the decision to do nothing is a motivation.

Each of us is motivated by our fears or our desires. Fear is unavoidable because it can get you out of danger, and save your life, it can save a child's life, but as a habit or a way of life, fear has an extremely destructive side effect.

Fear is a red light that can stop dangerous behavior, but desire is the green light that lets you go forward toward your goals. So your most valuable exercise in developing positive self motivation is to try to replace fear motivation with desire motivation.

Fortunately, because fear and desire are two sides of the same coin, this is not as difficult as it appears to be. Fear of poverty can be replaced with desire for affluence.

Fear of sickness can be replaced with desire for good health, fear of failure can be replaced with desire for success. All these actions must be present to attain improved personal development.

A lack of effort is the same as giving in, when there is no true attempt to seek improvement, there can be no improvement at all to relish over. Don't let the fear of failure halt you in your journey for greater personal development, hold onto the desire for complete success and true life fulfillment.

Winners realize that they are motivated by their currently dominant thought, so your concentration should be on the reward of the success that you seek, rather then the possible penalty of failure.

Make desire your currently dominant thought and it will propel you with the motivating energy for success in every area of your daily life.

Behind every winner is the burning desire, of optimism and enthusiasm toward the reward of success and not the penalty of failure, toward the solution in place of the problems and toward the answer in place of the question.

Behind every winner is the burning desire, the absolute need, and the never ending drive for complete improved personal development.

To Follow are Some Action Reminders Towards Positive Self Motivation!

First off, replace the word can't with can in the daily vocabulary, can applies to about 95% of the challenges you encounter.

Next, replace the word "try" with "will," in your daily vocabulary, this is a form of semantics and simply establishes your new attitude of dwelling on things you will do rather then on things you plan to try with that built in excuse in advance for possible failure.

Focus all your attention and energy on the achievement of the objective your involved in right now, forget about the consequences of failure. Keep your drive for personal development at the for front of your mind.

Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success. Remember you usually get what you think of most.

Next, make a list of your five most important wants or desires, and right next to each, put down what the payoff or benefit is when you achieve it. Look at this list before you go to bed each night and upon waking each morning.

Always give solution oriented feedback when people tell you their problems. When the problems are your own, focus on the immediate thought..."Whats the answer?"

Seek out and talk to a person, this week, that is currently doing what it is you want to do most, and be certain that it is someone who is doing it well.

This applies to anything, earning, or selling, skiing, or acting, speaking, managing, or even being a good spouse or parent.

Find an expert, get the facts, make a project of learning everything you can about other winners in the field. Take a course in it, get personal lessons and generate excitement by mentally seeing yourself enjoying the success.

Finally, make it a habit for everyone of your goals, to repeat again, and again, "I want to, I can, I want to, I can." The power these steps will have on the improvement of your personal development, is unmeasurable.

You will feel empowered, strengthened, and successful, nothing can stop you, your achievements will pile one upon another, you will know what true personal development feels like in action.

The Winning Attitude of a Positive Self Image Will Cause Your Personal Development To Soar!

All winners in life think about and develop a positive self image, winners see the act of winning before it ever happens. Winners act like winners, imaging with pictures, feelings and words the roles they want to play.

Successful people give themselves a preview of the coming attractions, what you see is what you get, and who you feel like is who you really are. You know its not what you are that holds you back, its what you think your not.

You see we don't act in accordance with reality, we act in accordance with our perception of reality. How we feel about ourselves is everything, for all that we ever do, or all we aspire to do in life will be based on that all important self concept or self image.

Your self image is a major player in the improvement of your personal development. The self image is the fundamental key to understanding all of human behavior.

If you change your self image, you change your personality and your behavior. You can work on your outside but it will have no effect on your inner self image.

In personal development, the building of your personal self image is crucial to having any true self improvement. You have to feel strong and secure on the inside. What you see in the minds eye is what you get.

If you see yourself as being a loser, unable to reach any significant achievements, failure will be a sure thing, you have destined yourself to losing.

Everyone develops a self image of every talent, every characteristic, and every performance.

Images such as...."I am a lousy cook," or "I am no good at sports," or "I can't do anything right," or maybe some positive self images like, "I am great at working with computers," or "I can do anything I put my mind to," or "I am skilled and knowledgeable at my job."

The way you define yourself is through your self image. Each of us is controlled by these mental pictures that we form. We can't outgrow these images we formed, we can only set new limits within which we must live.

Our self image determines the kind and scope of a person that we are in every walk of life, it is our life controlling mechanism. Our self image determines the level of our personal development.

Our self image dwells at the sub-conscious level of thinking, and although the term sub-conscious mind has been used, often inaccurately by non professional people, it is much more correct to think of it not as a mind, but rather a level of awareness with very special characteristics and abilities.

The conscious level of thinking is responsible for collecting information from the environment, storing it in the memory cells, and making rational decisions.

The sub-conscious level of thinking, is responsible for autonomic body control, such as breathing and heartbeat, and the storage of information and creative goal seeking.

The conscious mind cannot make a decision without clearing it with the sub-conscious mind. The sub-conscious mind checks your memory bank including the self image and replays the available data back to the conscious mind for taking action.

Your sub-conscious mind controls the conscious level of thinking. The information in the sub-conscious mind is permanent, it is a lifetime of stored events and information. You can never erase your sub-conscious mind but you can overwrite it with new and challenging information and events.

To improve your personal development it's your self image that needs some adjusting and this needs to be ingrained in your sub-conscious mind.

It's important to know that every imagined experience, repeated vividly is also recorded in the brain before the event has ever really taken place. So we have a replay and a pre-play ability, a feedback and a feed forward capability in the mind, and every moment of everyday we program our sub-conscious mind and self image to work for us or work against us.

Since our sub-conscious mind is only for storage, it strives to meet the objective and goals we set, whether negative or positive, false or true, wrong or right, dangerous or not dangerous, losing or winning.

It's sole function is to follow instructions based upon previous inputs and to respond automatically.

Your sub-conscious self image can't distinguish between an actual experience or one that you have only vividly imagined, it stores emotional fantasy's as your own reality.

This is why we are full of prejudices, full of fears and Easter bunny's, learned from our parents, peers, and the media, which simply are not true.

Many of your everyday decisions are based upon information about yourself, which has been stored as truth, but is just a figment of your own imagination shaded by your own environmental conditioning.

This shows the importance of training and re-training your sub-conscious mind, in your journey for improved personal development.

You see your a slave to your sub-conscious mind and your developed self image. If you try to make a change to yourself, using only your conscious mind and will power, the change will most likely only be temporary.

Whenever your conscious mind and your sub-conscious mind come in conflict, your sub-conscious mind has the best chance of winning.

To improve your personal development you must work on your sub-conscious mind, this is where your self image has been developed and where it has to be worked on.

Any personal change in your behavior begins with change in your self image, and this can be accomplished by defeating your fears and through strong desire.

Your behavior and achievement level is usually consistent with your self image. If you perform below your self image level, you will naturally feel uncomfortable, and make any necessary adjustments to try and do better next time.

If you happen to perform to well or too high above your self image level, tension will automatically bring your performance back down to where you think you belong.

This explains temporary fleeting success, and choking under pressure. This is all behavioral actions based on your personal self image.

Working to impress new beliefs upon your sub-conscious mind, is personal development in action, that is if you are striving to improve upon your self image.

Winners in life take it on themselves to enlarge their self image, winners dwell on and hold the self image of that person they would most like to become. They get a vivid, clear, emotional, sensory picture of themselves as if they have already achieved their new role in life.

In building your own personal development you chose to see yourself as the person you want to be, you envision success, and achievement, your belief in yourself has grown to the level you want it to be.

You should always strive to be better, take control of your mind through mental pictures, tell yourself you are a winner and a winner you will be.

First, set aside 20 to 30 minutes a day, in the morning, in the evening, or at lunch and imagine yourself achieving and enjoying your most important personal creative desires as if you were previewing three television short subjects.

Picture one sequence accomplishing a professional triumph, maybe a promotion, or a bonus, or an awards ceremony. Picture another scene promoting a family success, maybe a special outing, a family reunion, or a highly anticipated vacation. Then vision a personal success, possibly a fitness goal or completion of a continuing educational class, something that you personally accomplished that you might have had reservations about in the past.

Get the actual sensation and clear image of each event, fill your vision with emotion, feel the pride in your achievements, there is no stopping your personal development when you fill your mind with commitment.

Another technique for improving your self image is to read or listen to a biography every month of someone who has reached the top in your profession, or in your major hobby, or someone you have admired for his or her own courage. As you read or listen, imagine yourself as that person, having everyone of those qualities you so admire.

Finally, while you are relaxing and visioning your own imagined triumphs try listening to some slow inspirational mood music in the background, the process of relaxing to the music will open a subjective window to your sub-conscious level of thinking and make you more receptive to your own creative images.

Remember your sub-conscious mind excepts that as a fact that which you vividly, and repeatedly imagine, your creative imagination rules your world.

The development a positive self image is one of the most important keys to improving your personal development, and truly becoming a winner in life.

Positive Self Direction is Chacteristic of a True Winner in Personal Development!

Positive self direction is the power of purpose, one of the most vital action qualities of a winner. Having positive self direction is a quality or characteristic of a person who is striving for improved personal development.

Winners in life are set apart from the rest of humanity by this most important developed trait of positive self direction. They seem to have a game plan for life, every successful person knows where they are headed on a day to day basis.

Winners are goal and role oriented, they set and get what they want consistently. They are self directed on their own road to self fulfillment and personal development.

A good definition of success is the progressive realization of goals that are worth while to the individual and to other people as well.

All humans are goal seeking by nature, and to reach these goals we have to give our sub-conscious mind the proper input and direction in order to achieve these goals.

We have to be deliberate in our actions, and our thoughts must be strong, and decisive, motivated with desire, and filled with accuracy for our sub-conscious minds to drive us towards our goals.

Winners are people with a definite purpose in life, and losers are people who wander aimlessly through life, or self destruct.

To engage in true personal development you must have and know your purpose in life. Every does have a purpose in life, but its the winners that figure out what that purpose is, and they go after it with desire and passion.

A person without a clear cut goal or direction in life, is an easy mark for buying into someone else's belief system, whether or not that belief system is good or bad, healthy, or not healthy.

Internalized spiritual convictions, morals, and goals are so important, without them it would be way to easy for one to be misled, swindled, or fooled into something more destructive in life.

If you know where you are going, you will get there, if you don't know where you are going you will end up on the road to nowhere.

To build your personal development for the good you have to have some positive self direction, or you will end up on the road to nowhere.

The response to the challenge of life, or purpose is the healing bond that enables each of us to face up to adversity and strive, where there is life, there is hope, and where there is hope, there are dreams, and where there are repeated vivid dreams, there are goals.

To attain personal development you need these goals, they become your action plan that you will dwell on, in intricate detail, and this will give you the assurance that your achievements are almost automatic.

Winners in life have goals, without them there would be no direction, nothing to get excited about, you will have few achievements, if any at all.

People who choose to ignore personal development, and refuse to set goals, will live life from the back rows, they will merely watch the people they wish they could be, get ahead in life.

Someone lacking goals plays a miserable game of waiting, waiting and wondering what life will bring them next, and it won't be anything good because they have not set their sights on anything of any value.

They will sit back and watch others living a life they don't dare dream about, because if they did they might have to take some responsibility for their life and make a choice to do things different.

You know we all the potential and the opportunity for success in our lives, and it takes just as much energy and effort to lead a bad life as it does a good life.

Yet millions of people in society lead unhappy, aimless lives, existing from day to day, year to year, confused and frustrated, in a prison of their own making.

The losers in life are those that never made the decision that could set them free, they have not decided what to do with their lives, even in our free society.

You know you have got to have a dream if you are going to make a dream come true. The losers in life don't even face their own personal development issues, they lack the positive self direction to even take any action at all.

Winners in life begin with lifetime goals, they ask themselves "What do I stand for?" "What would I defend to the end?" "What would I want people to say about me after I am gone?"

Winners know to improve personal development they have to set these goals, and after they set their lifetime goals, they begin to set their as soon as possible goals, there are no time limits on these.

These goals are character, attitude, and behavioral based and they know that these must be set and lived out immediately.

Winners also know how important time sensitive goals are, so they have a five year plan, and a one year program, and they have a six month campaign or a project.

Most of all, winners know that the most important time frames in life are the groups of minutes in everyday, because most people waste most of their waking hours everyday, going through the motions, chatting idly, shuffling papers, putting off decisions.

Since the average person fails to plan, naturally they are planning to fail by default.

Most people spend more time planning a party, studying the newspaper, or making a Christmas list then they do in planning their own lives.

The winners in life, well they set their goals the afternoon before, they put down a list on paper in a priority sequence of the major things they will do tomorrow, and they select priorities that will lead toward the achievement of their most important goal.

Those who really strive for improved personal development are always thinking in the means of goal achievement, they know their plans and they set their goals.

Winners focus their achievements on their goals, which give them pleasurable and lasting results, while losers focus their attention on immediate pursuit of pleasurable activities with no goal or result in mind.

Instant gratification is what usually grabs the attention of those who fail to set any goals for their life. This has such damaging effects on their personal development.

Make certain that your focus is on goal achieving and not tension reliving. Live your life based on the setting of goals, give yourself a purpose, a sense of focus, always have a direction that will take you greater heights everyday of your life.

Never stop working on your own personal development, self improvement should always be at the for front of your mind.

Winning Self Direction is Setting Goals That are Profitable To You and Your Loved Ones.

Your goals should be specific, your sub-conscious mind cannot compute on vagueness, it will react to specifics, such as earning $6,000 a month, or get my weight up to 200 lbs., and my blood pressure to 118/65.

On a sheet of paper write down what will give you the most fulfillment out of your work, and out of your life, but be specific the more defined the better the aim and the focus.

At the top of the page write "My goal is to....and then make the list underneath.

...to be happy, but you must write down what will make you happy.

...to make a lot of money, explain how much money and over what time period.

...to be promoted at work, explain the position you want and what you have to do to qualify.

...to own my own business, write down by what date and in what specific area.

...to lose weight, how much weight and what time frame and write down the commitments you are willing to make.

...to have more time with my family, you will have to explain what you are willing to give up to make this happen.

...to retire early, again what is early, give an age and explain what you will have to accomplish financially to make this happen.

Remember no goal set for you by someone else will ever be sought after with the same intensity, effort and time commitment as a goal you set for yourself.

The secret to self positive direction is establishing clearly defined goals and then writing then down, and reviewing them often, dwelling on them with vision, images, words and emotions as if they were already being achieved.

Because your sub-conscious mind cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is vividly imagined you will move in the direction of your goal whatever it is as though it is already a natural part of your life.

It is so important that you only share your goals with other positive people that will encourage you and build your faith in yourself.

Misery is always seeking company, so you should never share your positive moves with someone that is only going to try to drag you down to their level of misery.

Decide now on your goals, and plant those goals into your sub-conscious mind, practice visioning the achievement of your goals one by one.

Remember that top achievers focus their mind on one thing at a time, they are single minded in focusing their creativity and their energy on their most important goal. The achievement of one major goal is the seed that spawns many more and multiplies the open doors to success almost spontaneously.

Positive self direction is the action plan that winners use to turn imagination into reality. Positive self direction is the power of purpose.

To excel in all personal development find your purpose, determine your positive self direction.

Personal Development and The Winning Attitude of Positive Self Control!

Its a very important theme, because winners make it happen and losers let it happen and when you are able to have this attitude you will have the key to decision making or making up your mind on your goals easily and effectively.

Winners in life, first, what to win, then they discover that they are in control of making it happen, and all the images and all the goals that they have set, become more easily obtained because they realize that they are driving.

If you really want to see improved personal development, you have to realize that you have all the control, and you have to use it.

The true meaning of self control is misunderstood, many people interpret self control as getting a good grip on yourself, or remaining cool under pressure.

Self control as it pertains to personal development is that winners take full responsibility for their life. They believe in cause and effect, and they have that wonderful philosophy that life is a do it to yourself program.

Self control implies freedom to individuals to choose among many alternatives and to shape their own destiny's.

Most underachievers are people that feel that life is determined by circumstance, or predestination, or being at the right place at the right time.

They are more likely to give in to doubt and fear, and to be wishy, washy, and indecisive in the face of a decision, that could have led them to true success in their lives.

People who are aware that they exert control over what happens to them in life, are happier, and they are able to choose more appropriate responses to what occurs.

When you made that choice to improve your personal development, just by visiting this website page, you showed self control over what action you would take.

For the better or the worse, you made a choice, you exerted your control, and I hope you find some positives to having made that choice, I hope you draw some helpful knowledge from this site, that helps you carry on in life, with greater more improved, positive self control.

When things go wrong, it the losers in life that react buy trying to blame someone or something else, its always easier and more convenient for them to assume the answer lies with someone else.

Personally I believe in the never failing boomerang, what goes around comes around, and that which you send out, will surely come back to you in the long run.

I have never told a lie that didn't haunt me, or hurt me. and I have never done a good deed that didn't help me, or heal me in some way. These are my personal beliefs, and I know try to model my own life based on the results of my own worldly experiments.

Not that I deliberately set out to prove or disprove the impending results of my own actions, many of them being that of a child. But as I work on my own personal development, I can look back on my many actions, good or bad, and see the outcomes and results.

I now have the wisdom to see the results of a deed misled, or of a gesture pure of heart, I have learned from my own history, as you can from yours.

It is with the most honest eyes you have to examine the results of your past deeds, that have left their mark, somewhere ingrained upon your personality, only to show its face when you are once again at the crossroads of a similar decision.

It is the actions that you now take, given those same circumstances, that make up the character you have become, as a result of all life's little tests and trials. Ask yourself, "Am I proud of the choices I now make, as a woman or a man, when faced with these many situations that befall us, everyday?"

When you can take pride in your answers, well then you know that true growth occurred, and this growth sprung from the amount of positive self control you have within your own personal development.

We are all responsible for how we choose to respond, to any and every situation in life, that is our attitude, the responsibility for us is ours, "If it is to be, it is in me."

Those people who cannot make up their minds, for fear of making the wrong choice, pondering in indecision, they simply don't meet their goals, which is a requisite for success.

When you know where you are going, and you know that you are driving, you can make decisions quickly and easily.

Its because of this one fact, winners in life seem to have their minds made up automatically, they are propelled forward without hesitation, because they and everyone else involved with them know where they are going, and know that nothing is permitted to block their path.

All individuals are what they are, and where they are, because of a composite of all their own doings at one time or another in their own lives.

My older brother and I have taken hugely different paths in life. This has nothing to do with me not wanting to be more just like him. My older brother is one of the most incredible persons I have ever known.

As I look back now, from this mature state of life I am in, I can clearly see the choices he made as opposed to mine, which led him to live the kind of life that anyone would be immensely proud of.

My brother always had something special, his character stood ten feet above all others, if only I had the mental maturity to even just mimic his actions.

But it was his positive self image, and self direction and control, that dictated his life, and led him to greater things, achievements and successes that he manifested himself through his overwhelmingly strong positive personal development.

As we were children, I failed to see his extraordinary will, and strength of character, as I see it now. As I choose my subjects for this website, I try to think of the masses and the ability to reach as many as I possibly can.

As I write I gather such inspiration, from someone so close to me, and I see what I write about here being lived out in my memories, from childhood, through to adult.

Even as write I gather strength as I recall how my brother choose to live and how he remains steadfast in his passion to demonstrate through his life, what it is to have such moral righteousness, and impeccably strong self personal development.

Choosing Your Own Lifestyle.

Through specialized training and discipline its possible and maybe even practical for us to control our pulse rate, our threshold of pain, our brainwave frequencies, and other body functions as a means of positive health maintenance for the future.

Today clinics throughout the world are training people on how to control their body temperature to help relieve the onset of a migraine headache, how to dilate their arteries to permit a greater blood flow to the heart, and how to relax muscles and nerve endings.

Using a combination of bio-feedback and guided imagery, it will be possible for people to have some control over their performances in certain events, such as excelling as a superior athlete, or something as practical as controlling your own mind to deliver certain responses to a number of outside stimuli.

Until such research hits mainstream America, we all must do what we can to better control the many aspects of our lives. We must make the improvement of our own personal development a leading factor in our lives.

Everything in life, you and I decide to do because it is profitable to those we care about, and good for ourselves.

Some choose evil, some choose good, some choose pleasure without purpose, others choose purpose which brings pleasure and well being.

You decide to do the things you do, not out of compulsion, but because they are beneficial to you, and they are the best choices among the alternatives available to help you toward your goals.

Those who want to experience high personal development, are wide open to choices, and they are constantly on the lookout for a better way to live.

A winning individual does not leave his or her personal development to chance, they pursue it systematically,and they look forward to their vast array of potential.

Those that lack positive personal development are victims of habit and become prisoners of hundreds of restrictions of their own making.

Teenagers have a strong need to conform to the standards of their group, this is called peer pressure. Those who refuse to be responsible for their own deeds, looking to others for their behavior cues, well they have not yet reached responsible maturity.

Unfortunately, many adults spend their entire lives at this level of immaturity. As we grow into adulthood, we make decisions that progressively narrow our opportunities and alternatives.

We select only a few friends out of the hundreds of people we are exposed to throughout our lives, and this limits the inputs of fresh ideas. We chose our level of education, which in turn determines our jobs and our associates, and from day to day we seek the path of least resistance, comfortable in our safe established ways.

The law of cause and effect is forever our ruler. Chose to be a person who takes responsibility for your life and its outcomes. Work everyday on your own personal development, remain vigilant in your desire for positive self control.

Learn to Have a Winning Attitude of Positive Self Control and Take Another Step Closer To Improved Personal Development.

...Second, list alternative choices to your current habits, especially those habits that you don't care for, put some new choices down on paper.

...Third, take the credit and the blame for your decisions, openly, but especially take the credit, because you got yourself there.

...Fourth, affirm the self talk, that my rewards in life will always match my service.

...Fifth, learn how to relax and take more control of your body, practice some deep relaxation methods, learn and study more about bio-feedback techniques, take better voluntary control of your involuntary body functions, learn how to relax your muscles to get rid of tension, learn how to elevate your skin temperature to get rid of headaches, learn how to relax and elevate your temperature to increase your blood flow and reduce your heart rate.

...Set a specific time each week to initiate some action phone calls and action letters on your behalf, because the winners in life don't wait for invitations to succeed, they make them happen.

In other words, losers do let it happen, and winners do make it happen. Positive self control is the attitude that you take responsibility for causing your own effects in your own life. Attract this attitude into your life and watch your personal development soar with the eagles.

Positive Self-Discipline and How it Will Help You in Your Journey For Improved Personal Development!

Your sub-conscious mind is stocked full of everyday habits. These habits have been for years, they have formed from your childhood and they are what make up your self image.

Having the self-discipline to act and re-act properly in all circumstances is the characteristic of someone with strong positive personal development.

Self-discipline alone can affect a permanent change in your self image and in you.

Self-discipline is no more then mental practice, the commitment to memory those thoughts and emotions that will override current information stored in the sub-conscious memory bank.

Through relentless repetition these new inputs penetrate into our sub-conscious mind resulting into a new self image.

The strength of visualization has proven to be unmatched in its ability to develop the sub-conscious mind.

The keys to developing new attitudes, habits, and skills are the commitment to memory those specific visualizations and accompanying emotions that can override current information stored in your sub-conscious mind.

This must be done with relentless repetition, again, again, and again the storage of these new inputs into your sub-conscious mind will have the positive effect upon your self image. It will result in the creation of a new self image of that particular act or event.

This is all a result of your persistent positive self-discipline. True self-discipline is telling yourself over, and over with words, pictures, concepts and emotions that you are winning each important victory now.

So the winners practice in and out of the office, on and off the field, they learn new information, correct information and then they visualize it, and they simulate each experience they want to achieve.

Every true achiever in every walk of life, uses the act of visualization or mental simulation everyday in his or her imagination.

This takes self-discipline, unrelenting, never quiting, always believing, strong positive self-discipline.

Winners in life simulate, and practice winning, in other words they take their successes and build on those, they visualize their success in their mind, over, and over they just keep practicing with pure self-discipline until they get it perfect.

Personal development comes when you draw up the self-discipline to visualize the achievement of success in all that you wish to accomplish. You have the power to override the pre-imposed self image created from the many falsehoods of your childhood.

Have the self-discipline to not accept your faults, but to conquer them, practice visualization to change a loss in your life to a victory, and come out all the better for it.

Here Are Some Key Points To Remember About Self-Discipline and Personal Development.

Airline pilots use some of the most sophisticated equipment in the world to simulate every act, and they mechanically visualize there way through some of the toughest tasks and they do this throughout their entire career.

Superior athletes visualize their every action before they set foot out on the field. They see victory before the contest even starts, a superior athlete will visualize and practice in their mind, thousands of times, until they see themselves achieving the perfect success.

You must also understand that there is a winners behavioral cycle. Our self image determines our performance, and immediately after each performance we engage in self-talk, in words, pictures or emotions to either confirm or adjust our self image about that particular action.

Its a cycle. Its a cycle up or a cycle down and the self-talk that we use after every performance determines whether the new self image will reinforce the win or reinforce the loss.

As a daily exercise habit we need to rehearse every important act relentlessly, over, and over again in our imaginations as if we have already mastered that act.

After every performance whether it is completing a sale, speaking in front of a group, dealing with our employees or boss, playing golf, or tennis, or dealing with loved ones, we should control our self-talk to reaffirm or elevate our best self image in the winning performance.

If we perform well we should be saying things to ourself like "That's more like me," and if we perform bad our self-talk should be "You know that's not like me I can perform better then that," and then we should replay the correct actions in our mind through positive visualization.

We need to set aside some time everyday for visualization, before we take on some type of project in life, and reinforce our sub-conscious mind of the belief that we can succeed in what ever it is that we must do.

Relaxed, guided, visualization and improved personal development are one in the same. Build strong belief in yourself in everything you do.

Every habit we ever formed is a result of repetition of a certain belief, as winners we need to be in the driver seat, and we need repetitive positive self-talk, again, and again to build positive self-discipline.

Positive self-discipline puts you in the drivers seat, when you rehearse the correct moves and internalize them you will become a high performance human being. Others will call you lucky or gifted, or say you were at the right place at the right time, because in a very relaxed manner you will win just about every important victory that you seek in the game of life.

Positive Self Esteem Being There To Build Your Personal Development Every Step of The Way.

Holding the ability to really like yourself is far from the discerning quality of be conceited, with is the quality of shallow people.

When you use the positive self talk like "I really like myself," I have terrific qualities as a human being and I am proud of myself," or "I really am very good at what I do and I work hard," you are just reinstating the qualities of a winning human being.

In working on your own personal development, positive self-talk is a tool that you should use on a daily basis.

Positive self-talk is the key to developing positive self esteem. The winners in life have developed very strong beliefs in self worth, and self confidence. They were not necessarily born with these good feeling, but like as with every other habit they learned to like themselves with practice.

Some people are lucky enough to have much more going for them at the start of their life. They may have been born into a family that has talented, beautiful, parents that encourage their children with positive encouragement right from the start.

It is much easier to build the self esteem of a child that has a clean slate, which all newborns possess. When you give your child encouragement right from the very start you give them a high self esteem and high self confidence.

Most of the losers and low achievers in life all seem to have a very low self esteem and absolutely no self confidence. Chances are they never had parents or teachers that were over encouraging, or gave them much positive constructive compliments.

Out of all our judgments through life, none is more important then the estimate that we place on ourself, according to our own internal standards.

People who want to develop even greater degrees of self esteem learn to understand that improvement of their own personal development is a lifetime challenge.

They are the ones that don't shy from the personal work on themselves that they may have to do.

As we were growing up many of us played an inferior role to the adults in our lives, we were told what to do and what not to do, and we were reminded constantly of our shortcomings.

This type of feedback from the ones we looked up to can take a major toll on the development of our self esteem.

If you don't have positive reinforcement, and plenty of positive encouragement as a child its your self esteem that is going to take the biggest hit in your personal development.

Low achievers in life are usually the ones who have had the constant barrage of destructive criticism in there early years, and they would feed all the negative inputs with a rash of misleading beliefs.

When it comes to personal development many people are aware of the fact that learning brings about change, but for some reason, maybe to to self esteem established in their early years, they tend to resist change.

People who have been fostered with low self esteem are aware of many people overcoming great obstacles to become successful, but they can't imagine it happening to them, and so they resign themselves to the mediocrity or worse of their own situations.

These people, with such damaged self esteem, end up focusing on their failures and all of the negative events in their lives, with self-talk that seems to reinforce this losing cycle.

These low achievers are controlled by standards that have been set by others throughout the years, and this has this profound effect on them where they set their sights to high to begin with.

They fail to reach these goals, over, and over causing these failures to become set within their sub-conscious mind in the way of a damaged and lowered personal self image.

These people end up with such poor personal development skills, that they will do almost anything to try and cover it up. They usually try to impress others with worldly possessions in an effort to cover up their severely damaged self esteem.

This concentration on the display of worldly possessions, in an effort to boost ones self esteem, is actually more likely to say to others that the owner is lacking in self esteem, rather then the fact that he is rich.

Its possible that only those with a strong sense of self worth can afford to display a modest image to the community, and they usually do.

But there is another side to modesty, humility is serving others with value, humiliation is when you tear yourself down in the process.

Many people are prevented from using their talents because they live under the mistaken belief, that it is wrong to be competitive, even as a means of testing their inner abilities and developed skills.

They developed the strong belief that it is wrong to be rich, and that it is noble to be poor. They follow the belief that poverty leads to spiritual purity.

They take from the scriptures that money is evil, not realizing that what is truly written is that the love of money is the root of all evil.

The destruction of your morals is evident when money, power over other, and personal gain becomes your major goals in life. What they don't realize is that wealth is only a source of happiness when it is used for the doing good for others.

There is nothing wrong with being wealthy, especially when it is obtained through the offering of beneficial services and products to other people.

To establish true self esteem we must concentrate on our true successes, and those successes just may have led to us becoming wealthy.

You shouldn't take any quilt in becoming wealthy when it is accomplished in a worthy manner.

To improve your personal development and really help boost your self esteem, you should take pride in your financial accomplishments, and start basing more of your actions on rational thinking rather then on emotion.

If you respond to the daily experiences, and challenges of life with emotion, you are failing to use your own wisdom and rational mind.

The real winners are able to enjoy the outwardly feelings of emotion, such as joy and love, but when it comes to the decisions that shape your life, a true winner relies on logic, wisdom, and common sense.

To develop and maintain high self esteem we need to be able to find pride in our everyday decisions, and in our profession, rather then looking at what others may have, or where the grass may seem a little greener.

This is the ability to find success in your own backyard, rather then looking for it in a new environment. You need to be able to look at yourself and take pride in all your accomplishments, never demeaning what you have built based solely on the achievements of others.

Its true, that you should also seek to improve yourself, this is the basis of personal development, but you should first accept yourself just as you are, at this moment. Those are the traits of someone with positive self esteem.

Learning to live with yourself and all your hang-ups and idiosyncrasies until they can be worked out is a quality that you must have if you expect to maintain your self esteem.

One of the most important qualities in successful, dynamic living is that of self acceptance, the willingness to be oneself, and to live your life as its unfolding, accepting all the responsibility for the ultimate outcome.

The practice of positive self-talk is one of the most important keys to enhanced self esteem. We should be feeding our sub-conscious mind a continual stream of positive self affirmations.

To truly modify our self images we need to be relentless in feeding our sub-conscious self image with vivid pictures of true achievements to the point that they override the current self images we hold of a lesser us.

We need to always control the language we use on ourselves, as true winners in life our self-talk should always be feeding our self image with positive words, and images.

We should never put ourselves down, as when we do this gets drawn into our sub-conscious beliefs and if we are not careful we could end up living down to level of our own self-talk.

In dealing with your personal development its imperative that we only feed our minds with positive, reaffirming words, and vivid pictures of sustained success, this is certain to deliver us a solid positive self esteem.

Winners use constructive self-talk everyday, things such as "I want to, I can, I am feeling better now, I'm improving, next time I will get it right, I chose, I look forward to, I will do it, I can, I'm the best, I can do anything."

They stay far away from any kind of negative talk, or negative thoughts, they are solely focused on everything good and positive and this sky rockets their personal development and self esteem.

Learning to accept compliments is another area in which we sometimes fail. You should have the positive self esteem to graciously accept any compliment ever paid to you for any reason.

Follow These Priciples For Maintaining Positive Self Esteem in Your Efforts For Improved Personal Development.

...Second, accept all compliments graciously and just simply say "Thank you." Its to your benefit that others recognize your achievements as well as you do so yourself.

...Third, dress and look your best all the time, this will not only give off an air of professionalism, but you will feel much better about yourself in that you are taking pride in your appearance.

...Fourth, always volunteer your name first when handling phone calls and when meeting new people. This shows your confidence in yourself and it displays confidence to others.

...Fifth, in business situations develop the habit of sitting up front during any type of meeting and in your personal life, don't shy from a crowd when the discussion can be beneficial to you in anyway. Show your pride by not being afraid to stand out in the crowd.

...Sixth, walk tall, hold your shoulders back, and be deliberate in where you are going, this displays your confidence and self pride.

...Seventh, except and enjoy yourself right now, treat yourself to something special and enjoy every minute of it,

...Eight, set your own standards, don't compare yourself to others and try to live up to any standards other then your own.

...Ninth, keep a personal development plan in action at all times, learn all you can, read, listen to audio programs, take a continuing educational course and keep track of all the knowledge you have gained and the achievements as a result of your ongoing efforts.

...Tenth, but certainly not the least, keep the feeling of your own self worth at the for front of all your thoughts, take pride in who you are at this very moment.

Remember, personal development is something that you should always be working on and maintaining a high self esteem is a positive trait of a true winner in life.
