Getting Because You Give

This week’s CHART focuses on YOUR Expectations of Getting Because You Give

Please pay attention the entire chart. If you are not paying attention, you WILL miss it.

On the left side (the VERTICAL), is YOUR level of Expecting Something in Return AFTER you gave something. The scale goes from HIGH Expectation to Low Expectation.

On the bottom (the HORIZONTAL), is WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET BACK. The scale goes from the left, tagged as LITTLE, to the right, tagged as NONE. That’s right it goes from LITTLE to NONE!

Folks, if you want to live a VERY HAPPY LIFE then just STOP expecting something in return after you gave something. Unless, you are in a department store and you pay for something they you better get something in return. That is call COMMERCE.

However, as we are in the season of giving, please DO NOT expect to get anything back. Go around flaunting that you gave with the sole intention of getting a compliment or a pat on the back; seriously?

If you expecting something in return is why you do things, then do yourself a huge favor and STOP GIVING. Give because you want to and NOT because you want the accolades and validation. Seriously, just stop.

Self-Dignity & Self-Esteem

This week’s CHART focuses on Your Self-Dignity & Self-Esteem

Let start by saying, your Dignity and Self-Esteem are NOT the same thing.

Dignity is defined as “the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.”

and

Self-Esteem is defined as “confidence in one’s own worth or abilities”

At first glance they may appear the same or very similar but they are definitely two separate things. No matter how you look at them, you have both of them.

Read the chart, understand that in this case DIGNITY and SELF-ESTEEM grow or decline in direct proportion to one another. That means you can work on one and the other follows right along.

As always “Two for the price one” is ALWAYS a Good Thing.

BELL CURVE OF SELF-ESTEEM

This week’s BELL CURVE focuses on QUALITY OF LIFE and YOUR SELF-ESTEEM

This week we take a look at how the QUALITY of YOUR LIFE is directly impacted by the type of people you choose to surround yourself with. It is that simple; hang out with low quality, low self-esteem individuals and soon you will find yourself wallowing not only in their misery but your nonsense and wonder why. Then you will start looking for people to blame as to why you found yourself in the situation of your life spiraling down the drain and out of control.

On the opposite side of the bell curve, find yourself amount HIGH self-esteem and you too will be out there doing better, feeling better, because you are better.

Remember, AVERAGE is OK but ABOVE AVERAGE is BEST!
