  life without stress would really be no life at

  accordingly.
• What you "see" is what you get. Who you "feel" is
  who you are.
• Individuals behave according to their perceptions
  of reality, not according to actual reality. It
  is not what you "are" that holds you back It's
  "what you think you are not."

• Each of us has developed a self-image concerning
  every talent, every characteristic, every
  performance.'
• Your self-image dwells in the subconscious level
  of thinking.
• The conscious level of thinking acts as a
  "judge," it collects information from. the
  environment, stores in the memory bank, and makes
  rational decisions.

SELF-IMAGE

• The subconscious level of thinking acts as a
  "robot" it is responsible for autonomic body
  control, such as respiration and circulation.

  "judge" level of thinking. action frequently
  takes place without consultation with the
  "judge," but no action ever takes place without
  reference to the "robot."

  cannot tell the difference between an actual
  experience and vividly imagined.

  difference between being productive and
  non-productive.

  are going.

  environmental feedback about the goal and adjusts
  self-image setting in its subconscious robot
  achievement mechanism.

• Every decision necessary to reach a particular
  goal is made by your self-motivated system.
• Winners are people with a definite purpose in
  life.
• What kinds of goals are you committed to?
• We all have the potential and opportunity for
  success in life. it takes just as much energy and
  effort to fail as does to succeed and live the
  good life.

28
SELF-DIRECTION

• What do you stand for? If you dont stand for
  something, you'll fall for anything.
• Most people spend. more time planning a party,
  studying the newspaper, or making a Christmas
  list than they spend planning their lives.

  establishing a clearly defined goal, writing it
  down, and then concentrating on it morning and
  night, with words, pictures and emotions, as if
  you had already achieved it.

  self-direction will focus your energy on specific
  goals and objections.

  be.

  training.

  and to perform many other skills by practicing
  them. Isn't it worth it to practice simulation
  training by means of Advanced Learning in order
  to master self-discipline?

• Everything is habit forming if it is repeated.
• The self-management skill of positive
  self-discipline is simply practicing and
  simulating successful coming events.

  indeed.

  beyond the self and into the universe.

  past.

• Positive self-dimension is being in harmony with
  the divine order that shapes the entire universe.
• Because winners understand the mortality of their
  own bodies, they are able to age gracefully.
• Developing positive self-dimension is a
  self-management skill which affects all areas of
  your life.

  self-projection. They project an aura they have
  an unmistakable presence they have a charisma
  that is disarming, radiant and magnetic.
• Positive self-projection depends upon creating a
  positive first impression, knowing you'll never
  have a second chance.

• Studies have shown a definite correlation between
  looking good and success in life. A recent
  Harvard study pointed out that people who are
  made to feel unattractive by themselves and their
  peers tend to suffer from feelings of loneliness,
  rejection, and isolation.
• Winners can project success without flaunting it.

Nelson Mandela

• Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond
  measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that
  most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to
  be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
• Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child
  of God. Your playing small doesnt service the
  world. Theres nothing enlightened about
  shrinking so that people wont feel insecure
  around you.
• We were born to make manifest the Glory of God
  that is within us. Its not just in some of us.
  Its in everyone, and as we let our light shine,
  we unconsciously give other people permission to
  do the same. As we are liberated from our own
  fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
