Why "Accepting Yourself" Will Destroy You

Did you know that 85% of the world's population are affected by low self esteem.
The answer to this is often advice like "accept yourself" or "like yourself".
As a matter of fact, even mainstream media pushes the whole "acceptance" thing on us on a daily basis.

While they are good recommendations, the concept of acceptance is completely twisted in most people's minds.

Accepting or liking yourself is not about standing in front of the mirror and saying "I like myself" nor is it trying to love yourself as you are - without making any changes.
Here's The Brutal Truth:
It's only possible to accept the things that absolutely cannot be changed.
It's a crucial point for you.

Most people get acceptance wrong by trying to accept things that CAN be changed.
That leads them to stay sad and depressed for the rest of their life.

When I was a teenager, I was a very terrible stutterer.
It made me very sad and my mother would tell me to just "accept myself" the way I was.
I tried it for a while but found it very hard to try to convince myself that I should accept myself. (Remember, you can't lie to your subconscious mind…)

So when I decided to invest in a speech therapy program, I sent clear signals to my subconscious mind that I was taking ACTION to make changes.
I instantly felt better about myself and liked myself more.
That's the way it works.

Real honest acceptance requires work and effort.
It's only when you make real effort to change the things that you don't like in your life that self-acceptance and self-love shows up.

Take action, get small results, become happier about yourself.

Have an amazing day!

Why Your Beliefs Is Critical To Your Result

Few weeks ago, I attended an interesting webinar on the psychology of success. It was great, and I took a lot of notes. There was this female facilitator on the program who shared how, every time she was after a goal, she seemed to just give up when she was close to success. She was very ambitious and educated, but every time she was about to succeed, she dropped her efforts. In the course of speaking, she revealed that she grew up in a small, remote village in Africa, where the only women who had money and status were PROSTITUTES. So, she developed the belief that, if she became successful, people would think she's a prostitute. It was totally irrational, and she knew it. But the belief was so strong and ingrained in her subconscious mind that she kept sabotaging herself. A belief can destroy or build your life. I met students on campus who had EVERYTHING to excel in their fields of study, but always found a way to dread pushing themselves... It's...

Understanding Basic Business Etiquettes

If you're in business or even an employee, you cannot underestimate the importance of business etiquettes. Demystifying etiquette rules across multiple business-related scenarios is the focus of this article. But before we hit the ground running, it's best to level off everyone on what etiquette means. We would also look at the many ways business etiquette can improve a company or an organizational bottom line. Josy Roberts, author of 'Business Etiquette: Your Questions and Answers', defines etiquette as 'conventional rules of polite behaviour.' They are guidelines on how to behave befitting good manners while in the company of other people. They show sensitivity to the needs and feelings of the person or people that you are with. Etiquette covers most aspects of social interactions, including self-presentation, communication, courtesy, and hospitality. Business etiquette, in particular, covers expectations in the interactions between co-workers, the company a...

A Must Read For Every Serious Income Earner

Recently, I was revising the notes I took from a business training I attended sometime ago, so I decided to share with you an incredible business insight that will change your perspective. Between earning linear income and passive income, which is better? Well, to make sense of the question, let's attempt a distinction between linear and passive income. If you're being paid once per month for the work or services that you have provided, chances are you're earning a linear income. Linear income is also called active income, where you earn one unit of income for one unit of your effort. To earn a linear income you also need to be present at your supposed workplace. Hence, doctors, lawyers, hawkers, or practically every employed or self-employed person are earning linear income. If they don't attend to their clients, they don't get paid. What about passive income? It is an income that you continue earning even when you're not working. ...
