I’M BETTER THAN YOU

by Bert Oliva

I’m better than you. I’m great at what I do. I’m the best looking person here. I’m intelligent.

Some of these statements exude arrogance and some of them are simply very self-confident. If you are honest with yourself, then you have probably thought at least one (though probably more) of the above statements to yourself at one point or another in your life.

All of these are almost natural thoughts that occur in our minds before we are even aware of them. And most of them are coping mechanisms that our subconscious minds think up to help us cope with uncomfortable situations.

However, it is important that we start examining our own thoughts. Why? Because there is a very thin line between self-confidence and arrogance, and it is important for us to become aware of when our thoughts (and our subsequent actions) are leaning towards arrogance.

EGO is Edging Greatness Out. When we act from the ego, we do not allow ourselves to tap into our full potential. Worse still, we can actually keep those around us from tapping into theirs as well. On the other hand, when we are confident, we are actually able to tap into our potential more easily and subsequently help those around us do the same.

So, let’s be confident together and help each other reach the greatness within ourselves.

PowerTools™
1) Pay attention to your thoughts today and bring a journal, notebook, or something to write on with you everywhere you go.

2) Every time you have an arrogant thought, write it down.

3) Then rewrite the arrogant thought into a confident thought. (For example, “I’m the best looking person here” could be written as “I’m looking good today.”)

USE YOUR VOICE

by Bert Oliva

Words are extremely powerful. They can build you up and they can break you down.

In my seminars, I ask the audience, “How many people have ever been on a diet?” Usually almost everyone’s hands go up. Then I ask, “Ho many people have actually lost weight on a diet?” and nearly everyone’s hands go down. Of course we don’t lose weight on a diet, because the first part of the word is “die.” Our subconscious minds can not differentiate between the two words, so usually we will sabotage our own dieting efforts in order to survive. However, if we say we are making a “lifestyle change and changing our eating habits,” we are much more likely to be successful in our efforts.

That’s why it’s important that we choose our words carefully, especially those that we say aloud. Words in our minds are powerful, but those we speak out loud are energized with our desires and further strengthened by those around us hearing our words.

PowerTools™
1) Pay Attention to what you say out loud. Are there certain phrases that you say a lot?

2) How do those statements make you feel? How do others react to them?

3) For those phrases that do not give you results you want, shift your words. Instead of saying “I will try,” say “I will do,” etc. A slight shift in your words causes a much larger shift in your subconscious mind.

WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE?

by Bert Oliva

Are you one of those people that pushes with everything they have all the time? Really? At times, we all have moments when we don’t push as hard as we can. And we make excuses for ourselves: I’d push harder, if my bills were paid… if my health was better… if I had more sleep…

Now is not the time for excuses. Excuses either put us in the past or the future. However, this moment right now is all we have, so it’s time we start living it. When we give everything we have to this moment, there is no need for excuses—we are pushing to our limit.

And, the more we push to our limit, the more our limits grow. Because, truly, the potential of the human spirit is limitless. We just allow ourselves to limit ourselves with excuses.

PowerTools™
1) Start paying attention to how often you make excuses for yourself.

2) Set a goal for yourself each morning and do not go to sleep without accomplishing it.

3) Each night, evaluate your day. Ask yourself whether you really gave your all in everything you did today. If not, how can you push harder tomorrow?
