This week’s CHART focuses on Your Ego’s Check Cashing Privileges
Another one of those easy to read charts. This week, I am sharing with you the results of a scientific study conducted in 1986 on the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71).
As you can see, this chart depicts the amount of “checks” your EGO writes and the ACTUAL number of checks that you CANNOT cash.
Hopefully, you can extrapolate from all that.

P.S. there was no scientific study in 1986 as I am referring to the scene with Maverick in the Captain’s Quarters in movie TOP GUN.
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.
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.
