GUIDELINES FOR CREATING VALUE
EXERCISE 3: DISCUSSION
1. How can people change their belief systems to adopt a more positive attitude about themselves? Be specific
1. Accept yourself unconditionally (reverse process of destructive criticism). Remember, we are all born with value. It is a gift, not something we acquire or earn. 2. Live out who you are and follow your heart! 3. Take good care of your body, mind and soul. Feeding all of you with loving and positive thoughts. 4. Set noble goals and ideals. 5. Accept responsibility for your life. (Be proactive) Life doesn't just happen to us. 6. Be committed! Remember commitment is an action not a word or a feeling. Live by your word. 7. Plan and manage your time wisely. Without planning and goal setting, life is like a lottery and we never have enough time to win. 8. Be determined. Perseverance is the key to success. Remember genius is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration. 9. Be disciplined. We all need to become our own masters in order to realize our goals and make our dreams come true. 10. Embrace work. Work is not a burden to bear, but rather an opportunity to give what we can and be who we are. 11. Learn to forgive and accept others even if you do not understand them. 12. Make love, relationships, and community a priority. 13. Make a difference. Start with you!
PSYCHOLOGY OF SELF ESTEEM AND CREATING VALUE
All human beings have three life giving instincts:
1. Instinct to be integral, to be whole in all respects of our being and to express this wholeness.
2. Instinct to connect and relate to others. Deep seated need to love and be loved.
3. Instinct to contribute to life. To make a difference and become part of a greater spiritual purpose which provides us with meaning and significance.
