The most important meetings you'll ever attend

There is no opinion so vitally important to your well being as the opinion you have of yourself.

There is no opinion so vitally important to your well being as the opinion you have of yourself.

  • Be aware of the silent conversation you have with yourself. Are you a nurturing coach or a critic? Do you reinforce your own success or negate it? Are you comfortable saying to yourself, "That's more like it". "Now we're in the groove." "Things are working out well." "I am reaching my financial goals." "I'll do it better next time."
  • When winners fail, they view it as a temporary inconvenience, a learning experience, an isolated event, and a stepping-stone instead of a stumbling block.
  • When winners succeed, they reinforce that success, by feeling rewarded rather than guilty about the achievement and the applause.
  • When winners are paid a compliment, they simply respond: "Thank you." They accept value graciously when it is paid. They pay value in their conversations with themselves and with other people.

Being comfortable and enjoying solitary time reveals inner peace and centering.

When you meet a mastermind, become a master mime, and learn all you can about how he or she succeeded.

And, enjoy those special meetings with yourself. Spend this Saturday doing something you really want to do.
