Is Your Self-talk Talking Yourself Out of Success?

Has anyone ever talked you out of something that you later realized you should have gone ahead with? Maybe it was a goal which involved taking a risk, and perhaps the person actually talked you out of it because they believed they knew what was best for you. However, did you know that most of us actually talk ourselves out of pursuing our own dreams? Just think about all of the things you know you could start doing right now in order to make your life better, but that you are putting off. Most likely, you’re putting these things off because you’ve gotten into the habit of talking yourself out of taking action.

This is because once we learn new information, it is nearly impossible to reenter the headspace we were in before we learned that information.

Of Equal Worth

The notion of humility as a virtue brings numerous images to mind. We tend to envision those rare individuals who humbly bear life’s struggles while downplaying their own strengths. Yet humility is also associated with people whose insecurities compel them to judge themselves unfavorably as a matter of course. The true definition of humility, however, does not correspond precisely with either of these images. Humility is not passivity. Rather, it is an utter lack of self-importance. The individuals who embody the concept of humility appreciate that each human being on the planet occupies a unique place on an infinite spectrum of development. Though they can take pride in their own accomplishments, they also understand that the people they interact with each day are as valuable and have as much to offer the world as they themselves do.

How the Wheel of Life can help you

More and more people you meet have an indefinite feeling of unease, that their lives might be unbalanced, that maybe they should change something. However they are not sure exactly what to do.
