Increasing Employee & Client Engagement

It is Motivational Friday.

This is more than Self-Belief…  This is your self-concept.  How you feel about yourself when you are stripped down to the real you.  Take away all your possessions, education, status, job or whatever makes the perception of you.  I believe if you are not good without them, you will never be good enough with them.

The funny thing about your self-concept… is it doesn’t matter what other people think about you or how others perceive you.  It is only your expectation and the way you view yourself that counts. 

It is so easy to look happy on the surface…  So many “successful” people have had that front.  Then they stop living up to people’s expectations and they spin out of control and they crash and burn.  People stop admiring them, nobody is looking for them.  Go from highest of highs to the lowest of lows.  Their self concept is distorted.  So they look outside for something to “make” them happy.  They turn to drugs and other things to fill that “void”.  

The real issue is their self-concept was based on outside parameters… not the crucial internal ones.  They weighed the balance toward what others thought.  The funny part about worrying about what other people think is… how seldom they really think…about you.

You own your self-concept and nobody can take away something you do not give them.

1. Write Down the Real Characteristics You Want Your Life To Encompass
2. Determine Where You Are, But Focus Where You Want to Be
3. Be Content With Who You Are & What You Have (It Could Be Worse)
4. Do NOT Wait.  Too Many People Wait Until A Near Death Experience or They Hit Rock Bottom
