WHEN HARD WORK DOES NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE
Many people really work very hard in life, sacrificing many of their own and even other family members? desires on their way to success. They work day and night honestly or dishonestly, but find failure or misery at the end of the path. In fact they are not able to achieve as much as they want. They are often dedicated and try different ways to achieve their goal. Still most of them fail. What is their biggest enemy?
WEAK SELF-IMAGE:THE BIGGEST ENEMY
It is their weak self-image that has been nurtured since childhood ? and it records early period of their life. The tough barrier of self-image holds them down to limitations. They are like those prisoners who are surrounded by high walls of their fate. Their success chances are crushed to failure under the weight of their own negative self-image. Mostly people are unaware about the effect of their self image on their career.
Self image is a part of your inner personality ? your own assessment about you since childhood ? product of your past successes, failures, experiences, others? comments about you etc. You build up a picture of yourself and consider it true. You will be surprised to know that 80% of your self-image is built up in the early years of your life. Thus most of the people are unable to change their self-image and work for years without major success. And even if they get success they slide down soon.
You must be, first, aware of this reality that your thoughts and your attitude towards life and people control your actions. And if your self-image is on the negative side it will not be easy for you to get a personality of a successful person. Therefore we have to agree to the psychological fact that self-image of a person plays far more important role than most of you can imagine. Hard work, strategy, determination all will fail if you are imprisoned in a poor self-image.
The good news: You can change your self-image if you apply the right methods meticulously and passionately.
GETTING SELF-IMAGE OF WINNER
Power of passionate imagination is tremendous. First relax yourself then go to the land of your imagination. Start imagining that you are stepping up towards your goals in life. Don?t let any fear hold you down. Make a new picture of yourself - a new film. You are yourself the producer, writer, and the actor of the film. You can make it in a way you like or you need. You can see a movie on a large screen made in your imagination or on the wall of your room. Another method is to combine your palms in opposite direction and imagine a movie screen on them. In this movie see yourself - wearing the dress you like, talking and moving in the way you desire, driving the vehicle you yearn, living a life style you want to enjoy, getting education you always want, getting success in an interview, rising in the career you cherish.
This is an exercise you need to continue with for months or even for years (if the aim is big) without tiring. It may become your most effective method to achieve big success in any field. While performing this psychological exercise you must see yourself as a very active person, working very hard to achieve your goals. Planned action is essential to attain your desired objectives.
WHAT IS YOUR AIM IN LIFE?
Suppose you want to get job in a big company. Prepare yourself properly to get that job. Get necessary training and experience. Improve your fluency and sentence-making in English. To get thatjob fast you also need to mend your self-image. At night spare 15-20 minutes everyday to make a movie. In that movie see yourself as a very confident and capable person who is getting success in interview and being selected for the desired post. And see yourself working at that post and winning respect of others. Play this movie everyday at night with a few touches of improvement. This new self-image will take you to your goal easily and swiftly.
If you want to become a successful player you need a different self-image. See yourself practising a lot, making contacts with other big players and taking their guidance to move ahead. You must become almost crazy for the game you play. Your new self-image will push you to your goal.
