True and lasting transformation requires three things: Confidence, commitment and faith.

• How Do I Know I’m Making Good Choices?
  • Understand Yourself. Know what it is that you want and commit to it.
  • Trust Yourself. Have confidence in your personal process. You may not need the traditional path that others have in mind for you. Trust yourself to make the choices that are best for you.
  • Have Faith in Yourself. Have faith that you have taking the time to map your way out and are now ready to collect the wisdom and experience you need to pave the way to the future you want.  
• How Do I Raise My Value?
  • We’re born with value and potential. Even the most basic students of philosophy learn that all human beings are unique and that every person can find ways to flourish and fulfill their potential.  
  • No one can give or take value from you. Often times a person can feel less than worthy, either due to a self-imposed restriction or because the person has been in a negative or toxic environment for a significant period of time. The truth, however, is that no one can take or give you value unless you give them permission to do so.
  • Raise your skills without obstructing your own path. A good way to gain a sense of affirmation that we are smart or skilled is to learn a new skill or hobby. Having said this, some individuals risk falling into the trap of using additional coursework as obstacles to their progression. This may either mean that the person is uncertain or unhappy, which can lead to depression, low self-worth, and other related issues. A person can have countless degrees and still have no sense of self-worth. Certificates and accolades don’t make one a better person. Goodness exists within every human being, at one’s very core; one just has to look internally to find and unlock it.
  • Raise awareness and self-appreciation through mindfulness exercises. In previous issues we recommend simple exercises like the creation of a Fulfillment List and other meditative activities that encourage self-reflection and self-discovery.
