Improve Your Self Confidence
Knowing yourself is the foundation of self-esteem, self
confidence and personal development. Man has been
seeking himself since the days of the Oracle of Delphi.
"Know yourself" said the Oracle, but she spoke in riddles
and the men who had come a long way to get a simple
answer from her wise lips went away even more confused. Yes, it isn't easy to really understand a human being. And, to
understand others, we need first of all to understand ourselves
and to gain self-esteem and confidence. How can we do this? There are ways to work on this and we can
do it in the comfort of our home if we don't want to attend
evening courses in self confidence and self-esteem and meet
others in similar situations. Some tips:
* Write down your positive achievements, all that you can
remember; educations, jobs, loves and relationships (even if they
ended, you still achieved them), friendships, children, driving
licence... Look at what you already have and realize you have
done rather well. * Write down good things that others have said about you. Read
through old documents from former employers or teachers that
state all your strong sides. Maybe you forgot you had them? * Make plans. Ask yourself what can be done. What can you
change to make things better? Write down precise goals and
write a step-by-step plan on how you intend to achieve your goals. *Decision. Make a decision that tomorrow you will start dealing
with the first step of your plan. When you read what you have written you will realize that you
have grown and developed over the years. That also means that
you can grow and develop further. Ingela Berger

A Proper Mission Statement Can Drive Your Life Forward
Most people measure us by our accomplishments -- what we've done.
In my experience, most people compile their track record of accomplishments BY MISTAKE; that is, we don't have a plan, we simply react to opportunities as they arise. In other words, our accomplishments are externally motivated, not internally driven. What this argues for, of course, is a consciousness of mission -- what each of our lives is really about. That's what this short article will discuss -- your Personal Mission Statement.
A Personal Mission Statement will help you to organize your entire life -- your time, your thoughts, your priorities. Actually, a personal mission statement, conscientiously developed, will change the way you view everything in your life.

Goal-Mapping
Goal-mapping is like a treasure hunt, you must first start out by knowing what you are looking for. Be very specific on what you want without limiting yourself. The next step is charting out what course of action you must take to get what you want. I encourage women to map out a treasure hunt on what they want in life, and to use that chart to reach their goals. That is exactly what I did to get my Ph.D. degree. I knew that I wanted to get my degree in psychology, and to write a book. My goal was to use my dissertation as a self-help book, and with the successful completion of my dissertation I could be awarded my degree. I enrolled in the Ph.D. program and completed all my core courses.
Four Steps to Goal Setting

Action Achieves Goals - Talk Is Cheap
It is very easy and a lot of fun to talk about dreams and goals and a great future. Achieving these dreams is not so easy as all wise people know.

(and if you're a writer, you already know this).

Time for a Change
As 2005 approaches, many of us are thinking about change. Many of us are setting goals, and making promises to ourselves and to those we love. We may vow to do everything different-better-next year. We set lofty expectations to lose weight, learn a 2nd or 3rd language, never yell at our kids again, or give up our vices completely. And as the calendar closes out one year in favor of another, the timing seems just perfect to make those changes. But are we really, really ready? Attempting to change before we have made a fully educated CHOICE to commit to the process may be our first (and biggest) New Year's mistake.
