What is Your Personal Currency?

What is your personal currency? What do you feel you have to provide to the world as a whole, and is that offer given the value, validity, and respect it merits? Are you happy? When you judge yourself, as we
all do, how do you measure up? Are you an evenly appreciated part of society? Are you predictable? Do you ever feel compromised in any case? When you think of your worth what springs to mind? This subject
may bring out emotions and reactions that surprise you.

For instance, what are the parameters you use to value your worth? Do you consider:

• Your marriage?
• Your power to provide for your children?
• Your success in your career?
• Your friends and family relationships?
• Your spare-time activity and hobbies?
• Your sense of welfare and fulfilment?
• Your allegiance to assisting others?
• Your religion?

Do you even think about your worth at all? Perhaps not in so many words, but the matter of worthiness probably arises for you again and again, and it's demonstrated by behaviors that don't serve you well; fear, depression, inferiority.

Many of our ideas of worthiness come from a place deep inside that was forged by factors associated with outside influences. So the question is are we incapable of determining our own standards? Misconceptions to external and internal influences can regress us into a state of weakness. Do be aware that such unconscious thought may indeed have been included in the messages you were given as a child, and it may invade your behavior when you least expect it.

Here's a significant note for you to write down and read often: refuse it. Play to your specialties, not your failings. Self-confidence is your best asset.

Why is it significant to comprehend your true value or personal currency? Because your survival, sense of well-being and success literally depend on it.

Big Faith Big Power: What do You Believe?

Believing in yourself is an essential element in achieving personal success. Without self-belief, we tend to make poor decisions based on self-doubt and fear rather than what’s best for us. These decisions may lead to self-destructive behavior such as working at a job you hate because you believe you can’t find a better job, staying in a bad relationship because you believe you don’t deserve a better one, etc. If you do not believe 100%  in yourself, you will not allow yourself to pursue success.

So how does one move to big faith. How do you begin to truly believe in yourself?

1. Visualize success, not failure. Whether at work or at home, train yourself to substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When put in a competitive situation, think “I’m equal to the best” not “I’m inferior to everyone else. Let the “I Will Succeed” mentality overwhelm all the negativity in your mind. Visualizing success conditions your mind to create ways to produce success. Conversely, visualizing failure does the exact opposite.
   
   
2. Be your own biggest cheerleader. Look at yourself in the mirror daily and remind yourself that you were fearfully and wonderfully made. Remind yourself that you are better than you think you are. Success does not require super powers or super intellect. Nor is it based on pure luck. Successful people are just ordinary people who believe in themselves and in what they do. Never short-change yourself.
   
   
3. Believe big. Dreaming big is an important part of achieving success for anyone. The size of our success is only limited by the size of our belief. Often people are scared to think big because they are afraid to fail, or they think they are incapable of or do not deserve success. But failure is just a necessary stepping stone to success. Think of it this way without failure you'd never know what doesn't work. Remember this, big dreamers, big thinkers achieve big results. Do not limit yourself.

Develop the power of belief in yourself by following the three simple tips presented above and watch your life grow in abundance and prosperity. Remember, you can only be as much as what you believe yourself to be. Big faith equals big power.
