*** Article: The Vital Element: Self-Esteem – By Lois Marie Gacher ***
----------------------------------------------------
You've decided to improve your life. Where do you start? Do you begin with a new
relationship, with a new career, or move to a new city? The answer is no, none
of these, for there is one constant: you. The same you will be there, wherever
you choose to go, whoever you're with, whatever you choose to do. That's why the
place to start improving your life is at the beginning, with your own
self-esteem.
When you feel good about yourself, you have good self-esteem. You realize that
anything outside yourself is exactly that--outside your self. You know that your
self is fine. It's the outside that needs fixing. When you recognize your own
worth and know that you have value, nothing anyone can say or do will have any
effect on your self-esteem.
Your feelings can always be hurt. Your self-esteem can be hurt only if how you
see yourself is determined by someone other than yourself. You know the truth of
your worth, and if someone else's opinion of you tries to diminish you in any
way, it doesn't matter.
We can be our own worst enemies. We can go from feeling good to feeling bad
because of our own thoughts--those little voices in our heads that are ready at
a second's notice to criticize us. The moment we perceive that something we have
done is not up to some standard we have set for ourselves, we immediately put
ourselves down.
Sound self-esteem is maintained by not listening to that little voice, by
remembering that no matter how badly you think you did, you did the absolute
best that you could have done at that time. Low self-esteem is caused by
criticizing or condemning yourself for not living up to your own standards. We
have a tendency to set our standards high, often too high to succeed. Then when
we fail to meet our own expectations, we criticize ourselves for failing. There
is never any reason for putting yourself down or for any loss of self-esteem.
Change how you perceive life, and your life will change accordingly.
Most of us find it easier to overlook the mistakes of others, yet continue to be
hard on ourselves. As if there wasn't enough in the present to attend to, we
often insist on dredging up the past to torment ourselves. When you cannot
change the outcome of conditions that you wish were otherwise, all you can
change is your attitude toward it. With sound self-esteem you no longer find it
necessary to place value judgments. You would no sooner judge another than you
would judge yourself.
If you pick up a fork to eat dinner and then discover you're having soup, you
don't insist on eating with a fork. No one would. You would change your utensil
for a spoon. Yet often we stick with a poor decision we've made, even though we
know there is a better choice available.
Change is how we make progress. To resist change is to miss opportunities.
What's the most prevalent fear that keeps us from making a change? Fear of
failure. Fear of mistakes. Yet to not even try is failure already, and mistakes
are only lessons.
The most important thing is to be aware of and awake to what is going on in your
life. Once you are aware that some choice you have made is not working for you
or has had a negative impact on your life, you gain the option of changing it.
If you choose to continue doing it, at least you are aware of what you are
doing, and you can take responsibility for your actions and whatever continuing
reality they create. Or, once aware of what reality you have created, you can
opt to change it for a better, positive reality, one that makes you happy. But
you can do nothing without being aware of what is going on and how it affects
you.
Whether it is a physical fender bender or an emotional heartbreak, the situation
exists for us to get the lesson. Once we extricate the lesson from the turmoil,
the experience is free to leave us. As long as we choose to judge it by hating,
resenting, or ignoring it, it will remain.
When it becomes neutral, being neither good nor bad, the emotion binding it to
us is loosened, and it is free to go. In any difficult situation, ask yourself
what the experience is trying to teach you. Underlying it is a fear. Discover
what that fear is, reason out why it is in your life, and it will lose its power
and cease to exist.
You create more of whatever you give your attention to. What you focus on, you
will experience. Focusing on negatives will generate more negative situations.
The more you focus on the positive things, the more you will create positive
situations in your life. You always have that choice to change your thinking and
to change the conditions of your life. Every moment, with every choice, you
create your life every day.
There are no wrong choices. You can be just as happy as you make up your mind to
be.
Recipe for Success: Start with high self-esteem. Mix in equal measures of
respect and responsibility. Respect yourself and others, their rights, privacy,
and property. Take responsibility for your actions and words, spoken or not. Add
logic and imagination to realize your full
potential: logic to decide what you want to do and imagination for the most
original ideas. Reason it out. Make sure it makes sense. With logic and
imagination, success is yours.
Compared to the universe, we are an infinitesimal part, yet we are of
significance because each of us is unique. No one else is exactly the same as
you. Therefore no one else can have the same impact on the world as you. Every
action has meaning and purpose and results in a reaction.
The point is to learn and grow from our experiences, both pleasant and not so
pleasant. Love yourself for you have value, and treat others with the same
respect. The joy of living is reflected in high self-esteem.
The more secure our self-esteem, the better we can treat ourselves and others.
Improving your self-esteem will improve your life and our world.

*** Article: What is the secret to creating the life you want? – By Sandra Anne
Taylor, Author of "Quantum Success" ***
----------------------------------------------------
http://promos.hayhouse.com/promos/taylor/020607email/
Believe it or not, the answer is in modern science! It's all about energy--your
energy! Quantum physics shows that everything and everybody projects real
energetic frequencies that move out from us into the Universe. Each one of us is
like a little radio station, broadcasting subtle but very real signals about
ourselves. And it will be the situations and people of like energy that "tune
into" us and are drawn into our lives, for better or for worse.
We are always taking part in this ongoing process of transmitting and receiving
energy. There is never a time when we do not take part in the creation of our
destiny through the projection of our own energy--whether we are aware of it or
not. But this is actually very liberating, for it gives us the power to change
the consequences of our lives by consciously changing the energy we create. So
no matter what you have been through in the past, the kind of future you desire
is absolutely achievable.
The first step is to look within. Our energy is predominantly produced by our
beliefs and our emotions. What kind of emotional energy do you spend most of
your time in? Are you happy and optimistic? Or are you fearful and depressed? It
is time to become aware of--and take responsibility for--the kind of stuff that
you create in your thoughts and your feelings. Remember, your future will be
made of the same "stuff"!
The single most important factor in the energy you broadcast to the world can be
found in your self-talk. There is no room for self-judgment in the mind of
someone who is looking for a happy and successful life.
The Laws of Attraction are strict. You cannot send out waves of negative energy
and expect to attract only positive results. The Universe longs to support you
in your every desire, but only if you are willing to support yourself first.
So investigate your beliefs and thought patterns thoroughly. Do you tend to
worry about all sorts of things? If so, you will not only attract fearful and
hostile people to your life, but also more and more things to be afraid of. If,
on the other hand, you live your life with purpose and appreciation, you will
attract wonderful people and even more to appreciate. The signals that you send
to yourself will determine what you receive from the Universe.
There is one important truth you must always be aware of: To attract real value
into your life, you must look into the mirror and see your own value there. No
matter what you may see on the surface, you are a valuable and valid person, an
eternal soul who deserves the best by virtue of your Divine heritage. In fact,
this is the highest, most attractive frequency you can project to the world--an
appreciation of yourself and your life, a knowledge of your worth, and an
optimism about your future. Always value, honor, and respect yourself. Create a
life full of happiness now, and your own happy energy will attract much more in
return. You deserve a quality life, and it will appear as if by magic when you
finally choose to see the quality within yourself.
