Your friend just bought the house of his dreams. Your wife
keeps talking about her friend who got the job she has always wanted. It often seems like everyone else has no
problem getting what he or she wants, when that person wants it.
Everyone has a tendency to get a case of “Poor Me”
syndrome. We look at everyone around us
and see all of the success and material gain. Then the mind starts to wonder
why them and not me. It is this tendency to expend your energy focusing on
others that diverts us from creating our own success.
Instead of wasting your time envying the achievements of
others, take time to look at yourself and recognize the potential you have for
greatness. Consider what you need to
change in your life to help bring about the kind of success that you desire. Use your energy to help you achieve your goals
of financial, personal and material greatness.
We cannot constantly compare our growth and learning to that
of others. We are each of us unique
individuals that can only measure our growth based on ourselves. We need to learn to develop ourselves into a
whole unit of being, as opposed to become one part of the whole. This process
of development involves strengthening our mind, body, spirit and voice in order
to effect changes ourselves and the world around us.
An important step in development is strengthening us mentally
and emotionally. We use the conscious
and subconscious mind to do this.
We need to look into ourselves to see who and how we truly
are at this point in time. Take time to
look into your subconscious mind through meditation and other focusing methods
that allow you to explore your past experiences and lessons. When we look into our pasts, it allows us to
discover deep-seated truths about ourselves and how we came to be the way we
are now.
Once we begin to focus on these hidden self-truths, we are
able to discover those things, which are missing from our lives. We can start
to strengthen mentally, spiritually and emotionally as we take the steps to
fill these voids. We can begin to put
aside our reliance on others and start to support ourselves in our own goals.
We can enforce this sense of self by developing our voice as
well. This means taking a stand for
those things that you wish to see changed in the world around you. Express your views to those in power and take
ownership of your beliefs. Use your
voice to put into motion an environment of change.
We need to learn to break the cycle of influential
learning. This type of learning has been
popular due to the group mentality of it. Influential learning is a process
that allows you to be blindly directed by others and form no real belief of our
own. Following the path that has worked
for others is often a misstep on our part and clouds our ability to seek out
our own truths. Set out to discover truths and beliefs that ring true to you
and no one else. Do not rely on others
to set your foundation for you.
By challenging common beliefs, we are able further to open
ourselves to think new thoughts and areas of growth that may not have occurred
to us before. We are able to take the
reigns and become leaders instead of followers. We are able to challenge
propensity to self-subversion and come out stronger than ever.
We as individuals are the only one that can create our
success. We are the ones that hold the key to transform ourselves strong
individual with a sense of purpose and power. Empower yourself with the
knowledge that you, no one else, are the master of your success. The definition
and terms of propensity to self-subversion we must consider.
