Self-Acceptance and Self-Improvement
Robert Elias Najemy
Part 3 of a 5 part series on creating a Positive Life Outlook
Some fear that if we accept ourselves as we are, that we will
have no motive to improve ourselves.
There is a small possibility that self-acceptance might cause a
few people to loose interest in self-improvement. In most cases,
however, it opens the door towards natural change and
self-betterment.
Contrary to what many think, self-acceptance is usually a
prerequisite to moving ...

*Self knowledge is at the point where wisdom meets success.
In order to truly succeed in life - you must know yourself.
In order for your relationships to thrive - you must know
yourself.
In order to achieve ALL things that you want for you and for
your loved ones - you must know Yourself!
Before you can get anywhere worth going in this world, you have
to know other people (how they feel, what makes them feel that
way, what they want....). It matters not if you're a teacher,
entrepreneur, sales...

You have probably heard about the idea that you if you have strong enough desires you can manifest your desires. One of the seven spiritual laws of success states that if you focus your intention and desire you set the infinite potentiality of the universe in motion for you. You may have even tried focussing and desiring, but like many people who have tried manifestation, that new car on your drive or the $10,000 check in the mail, failed to appear.
What you probably don't realise is that you a...

The Concreteness of Spirituality
Individuals in America today carry greater burdens in their
hearts than they do on their backs. Alienation or love,
aloneness or brotherhood, indifference or compassion, emptiness
or purpose, pride or humility, judgment or mercy - these
contradictory qualities depict the unavoidable spiritual
decisions each individual must face in every concrete situation
and in every moment of their lives. Whether rich or poor,
socially placed or displaced, educated or uneducat...

Developing a Healthy Self Esteem in Your Child
Children with healthy self-esteems try hard in school, get along
well with others, hold a "can-do" attitude about life, and feel
positive about their environment. They can accept ups and downs
graciously. The opposite is true of children who suffer from low
self-esteems. These children compare themselves to others and
never feel they have done well enough. They are frustrated
easily and fear risk and challenge. Children with low
self-esteems can eas...

Confidence is actually half the battle won in mot situations, as well as being a very powerful psychological effect on everyone around you. Confidence is belief, it is purpose and it is movement, it drives you towards a situation where failure is not an option and ‘trying your best’ is just a popular euphemism – even a cliché you might call it. We all need to have confidence in you and if you think that you are not a confident person at heart, then it is time to rethin...

The self-imposed barriers that we carry around with us are generally our biggest barriers to success. The word "can't" followed by a description of our circumstance equals almost instant failure. In fact you may as well not even start trying, in fact you probably won't even start anyway. To be successful you are going to have to take a hold of your dictionary and trim out the word "can't" from it, life will start to improve from there on in. We often manage to persuade ourselves that our circums...

Be at peace and know that no matter the appearance of calamity, disruption, and chaos, there is love behind every action of this world. There is a reason for suffering. It has become the only way to learn our soul lessons. There is coming a time when we will learn our lessons through love. This has always been our choice; but in our dilemma, in our selfishness, we have chosen the hard way. We have chosen to fight the tide, to battle the wave of the flow of God. Do we fight something fo...

Human beings must take care not to issue judgment or discern things apart from reference to God. The word judgment is to be understood in its widest meaning here. It means making decisions, evaluations. And it incorporates the ability to discern meaning. All meaning issues from God, and apart from God all meaning vanishes. The only way that unbelievers can make sense of the world is to borrow meaning from God, while at the same time deny His very existence.Paul explains in Romans 1:19-20, "For w...

The first thing that you should do is to take a quick step back and appraise your life. For too long you have been looking from the inside out of your life, and you may not be able to spot the mistakes that you have been making, so you need to get yourself out of this perspective and look at the big picture. When you are able to look at the blueprint of your life, then you will be able to see what areas you need to strategise. Next, you need to breathe deep and find a space where you can medita...
