Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - Most Important Relationship

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Most Important Relationship "

The relationships we have with family and friends are generally the ones we

value the most. They are an important part of the life of each of us.

However, there is one relationship that I feel is even more important, that

governs all the others - and that is the relationship you have with

yourself.

Now, I say this because every day of your life you send yourself thousands

of mental messages that determine how you evaluate your own worth. The

evaluation you make of your worth is what determines your level of

self-esteem. Of course, the messages we receive from our family, friends,

co-workers and others affect our self-esteem, too. But they send only a tiny

fraction of the number of messages you do, so they don't have the same

opportunity to affect you.

Besides, if you are continually sending yourself negative, devaluing

appraisals, you will drown out the other messages, no matter how positive

they might be. It is very important that you, yourself, become the source of

these positive messages, or affirmations as they are sometimes called. When

you take control of this process, the leverage you will gain from your

" inside " position will make tremendous personal growth possible.

Unfortunately, many people spend much more time focusing on their faults and

mistakes than they do on their strengths and successes. However, a positive

focus can be learned. I've been teaching people to do this for over 30

years, so if you choose to learn it, I know that you can do it too.
