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.
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!
This week’s CHART focuses on HAVING GREAT CONVERSATIONS
They say SMALL MINDS talk about other People, Average Minds talk about Events and GREAT MINDS talk about IDEAS.
Some of the greatest conversations I have ever had have been about Events and Ideas. The worst conversations I have had the misfortune of being a part of is those when individuals have to talk about others. It leaves me wondering if they can talk about others to me then they must be talking to others about me. I know, I know, those small minds do not know any better.
Sadly, those that exceed at talking about others do so not because of their level of education. I know several very smart, very bright, and highly educated individuals that, at a drop of a hat, dive into the cesspool of talking about others. Even sadder, are those that talking about others it is all they have ever known.
Leaving the temptation of talking about others behind immediately puts you on the trajectory of reaching the high levels of conversations. Delivering on the kinds of conversations that leave people seeking you out in that you not only talk not about others. The conversations you bring to the human interaction are the stuff that people want because it stimulates and intrigues them. It makes others wanting more.
Bring the opposite and others will do all they can to avoid you. As you should do all you can to avoid being in situations where the topic of conversation is others.
Remember, the longer you stick around and listen you rest assured to be mentioned in the next conversation (without you).
