MENTAL 

 

From Life 101 by John-Roger and Peter McWilliams

 

Life is, if nothing else, a persistent teacher. It will repeat a lesson over and over (and over and over) until it is learned. How does life know we've learned? When we change our behavior.

 

Acceptance is the first law of personal growth. Acceptance is simply seeing something the way it is and saying, "That's the way it is."

 

The mirror: Our evaluations tell us valuable information about ourselves....  Most of the time we are projecting something onto almost everything. When the projection returns to us, we can see it as a reflection--which it is--or we can pretend it is emanating from the thing we projected the reflection onto.

 

The Sanctuary...an inner retreat you build with visualization in your imagination. Here you can discover the truth about yourself....Equipped with light, people mover (beam 'em up, Scottie), information retrieval system, video to project life present/past/future, ability suits, practice area, master teacher....

 

Edison. "I didn't fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1001 steps."

 

"Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small steps." --David Lloyd George

 

Increasing self esteem is easy. You simply do good things and remember that you did them.
