The Crystal Ball


Will YOU be poor and unhappy
or prosperous and joy-filled?

John Maxwell writes, "We need to understand that the value we place on ourselves is usually the value others place on us, too. One of my favorite stories is about a man who went to fortune-teller to hear what she had to say about his future. She looked into a crystal ball and said, "You will be poor and unhappy until you are 45 years old."

"Then what will happen?" asked the man hopefully.

"Then you'll get used to it."'

Maxwell goes on to say, "That's the way most people live their lives--according to what others believe about them. If the important people in their lives expect them to go nowhere, then that's what they expect for themselves. That's fine if you're surrounded by people who believe in you. But what if you're not?"

How you feel about yourself right now is largely dictated by past experiences. Positive past experiences, including receiving lots of love, being valued and respected, and receiving constructive criticism along with appropriate praise and encouragement—can lead to a positive, realistic view of oneself and healthy self-acceptance. You'll value yourself and believe you can do great things with your life. And, because you believe you can, you can!

On the other hand, negative past experiences such as being ignored, criticized, ridiculed, teased, or picked on regularly; and being surrounded by unrealistically demanding parents or teachers, can lead to a negative view of oneself, a lack of self-confidence, feelings of inferiority, and a great deal of self-doubt. When you are filled with self-doubt, dreams of creating a magnificent life will often be thwarted by the belief that it's not really possible for you. And, because you believe you can't, you can't.

Here's the good news. Actually, it's really good news: You no longer have to believe in the thoughts that hold you back. It's your choice to change those thoughts and begin believing in the truth that you are valuable and you are capable of designing and living your best life.

How? Become aware of your limiting thoughts and then consciously change them into more empowering truths. Using the fortune-teller example, suppose someone said to you:

"You will be poor and unhappy."

Rather than allowing those words to fill you with fear and despair, immediately change the thought. You could tell yourself:

"That may be true for some but it's certainly not true for me. Opportunity and prosperity meet me around every corner."

Start guarding against negative self-talk. You get to choose what you think. Fill your mind with beliefs that fill you with hope instead of fear. You are valuable; and your dreams and goals really can come true!

You deserve to live your best life. No matter who you are, where you are, or what you've been through, find comfort in the fact that it's not too late for you. You can move forward and transform your life forever!

The Top Five Regrets of the Dying


An Australian palliative-care nurse named Bronnie Ware spent several years counseling individuals during the last 12 weeks of their lives. During the time she spent with them, she compiled their thoughts into a book called The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. These top five regrets were:
#5. I wish that I'd let myself be happier.
#4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
#3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
#2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
What was the number one regret of the dying?
#1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
Take that in for a moment. Individuals who only had 12 weeks left on this planet were most burdened by the knowledge that they hadn't lived a life true to themselves.
I believe that's what living your best life is all about. It's living a life true to yourself. It's about knowing who you really are—your dreams, your passions, your values, your likes, and your dislikes—and honoring that. It's about letting go of trying to be who everyone else says you should be and embracing who you really are. It's about speaking your truth—saying no when you mean no and yes when you mean yes! And that most certainly does take courage.
You deserve to live a life true to yourself. No matter who you are, where you are, or what you've been through, find comfort in the fact that it's not too late for you to live a life true to yourself. You can move forward and transform your life forever!
