When we see successful people it is rare that we see someone who does not feel good about them selves. In fact, how we see ourselves is the most important motivator in reaching our potential. It is the one common denominator found in high-performance athletes all over the world. While the world seems to praise humility it is confidence and boldness that is most responsible for success. In this blog and the upcoming ones we will examine how to develop a higher opinion of your self.
Our society seems to be off track here … for years we have been taught that it’s not good to think well of ourselves. Words like bragging and cocky are too quickly followed with words that point out another person’s shortcomings. While it’s not my lot in life to teach people to brag, I am suggesting that the self-esteem we hold helps us to perform better and work better with those around us. My favorite example of showing esteem was demonstrated by Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr, now known to the world as Muhammed Ali. As a young fighter most writers thought he was an over confidant hot shot. Years later Ali would explain that his "bragging" was a practice he used to give himself confidence.
Today I start will self-esteem and over the next few entries I'll tie each one into increasing esteem. We will align your positive thoughts to on-going growth and potential. As we enhance your self-esteem you will eventually see whatever you can dream is possible for you. And you will see that you can only grow to the level of your personal self-esteem.
