The Role Self-Love Plays in Operating a Successful Business, Part 2
We ended Part 1 with two questions:
If self-love is so crucial to building a healthy self-esteem and
helping us to be happy, what prevents more of us from deepening
our self-love?
What keeps so many of us stuck in painful, hurtful, sad scenes
where happiness is merely a passing dream?
We all want to be loved and to feel love. Yet, there are
important Blocks to Self-Love that must be looked at and
examined if we wish to deepen our self-love, improve our
self-esteem, and to succeed in business.
Blocks to Self-Love
People don't love themselves because they feel guilty and
unworthy.
People don't love themselves because they live with outdated
values.
People don't love themselves because they are couch potatos and
watch too much TV. It has been estimated that the average
American watches close to four hours of TV daily. Think about
where your self-image comes from when you watch that much TV.
Is your self-image yours or does it belong to the mass media?
People don't love themselves because they have unhealthy habits,
such as not exercising enough, not getting their hearts beating
rapidly.
People don't love themselves because they numb themselves with
drugs, alcohol, food, sex, gambling, online pornography, and a
host of other addictions that show the need for self-help.
People don't love themselves because they feel helpless and
hopeless. They sense their life is going nowhere fast, and their
self-talk is consistently negative.
Can you see how impossible it is to create a successful business
when you're full of doom and gloom? You can't fool your
customers and employees.
People don't love themselves because they want instant
gratification too often. Usually, we become impatient and want
everything yesterday. In business, we must have the
patience to wait for our actions in the world to pay
off.
Instant gratification is what babies and young people demand. As
adults, we have to clear out the emotional wounds that keep us
prisoners of our past.
People don't love themselves because they pay attention to and
believe old tapes running in their minds.
Until we've attended enough self-help seminars, or read
sufficient self-help books, or worked with a personal
development or life coach who helps you to eliminate old
emotional wounds, what we were told by our parents when we
were growing up may be running our lives.
Our parents loved us. But their values and their beliefs may
no longer serve us. You choose what to bring along
with you from your upbringing.
Discard what no longer serves you.
People don't love themselves because they lack support from
family or friends and/or never learned how.
Lots of us confuse
the definition of self-esteem and believe we're being selffish
if we love ourselves. Hogwash!
People don't love themselves because they have low self-worth
and an impoverished self-image. This can be a whole article in
itself.
Feelings of shame and not being worthy destroy our spirit and
make it impossible to succeed in any area of life, especially
business and relationships.
People don't love themselves because they confuse selfish with
self-love. I repeated this from above because it is so
important.
People don't love themselves because they have lots of fears.
When fear rules your life, it's impossible to be happy. Fear
destroys joy, increases stress, and is the leading cause of
failure, in my opinion.
People don't love themselves because they are unaware of how to
love themselves. Well, that's why you're here to get an inkling
of the importance of self-love.
People don't love themselves because they won't commit to their
own success. Lots of people unconsciously think they are
failures. I know from personal experience about this. It cost me
literally millions of dollars in potential business
profits.
Half of my business was stolen from me and because I had such a
low self-esteem, such a poor self-image, and no self-worth, I
did nothing about it. I allowed my business to vanish
into thin air. That was in 1982.
In 2004, I attended a workshop in Utah. I learned that I had an
unconscious Psychological Reversal to making money.
Every time I got close to being financially successful, I'd do
something to sabotage it.
For the past two years I've been using an Energy Psychology
technique to transform and clear out the limiting, subconscious
beliefs that have kept me from running and operating as
successful a business as I could.
In Part 3 of The Role Self-Love Plays in Operating a
Successful Business I explain the Benefits you
receive when you deepen self-love. As someone said,
everything begins with self-love.
I might add, all your successes in life depend upon your
loving yourself enough to commit to your own success and
to follow through.
Part 3 makes it exceptionally clear the role self-love
plays in operating a successful business. See you soon.
