7 THINGS I’D SAY TO WOMEN IF I WERE ON OPRAH

November 20, 2007

1. You’re always enough for yourself. You don’t need anyone’s praise, reassurance, motivation, or encouragement. You have everything you need to accomplish your desire already in you. Let it have a louder voice.

2. You are so important. Your presence in the world means more to the people you contact than you can ever know.

3. Never hesitate or be afraid to ask any question of anyone. The only stupid question is the one unasked. Always choose learning over fear (of humiliation). The truly powerful do not judge others badly for not knowing, but they might for not asking.

4. Celebrate every minute of your precious life or change it today. We change for one of two reasons; either we don’t like where we are, or we see a place we want to be that looks better by comparison. Pick one and move a little bit closer to a vision that is meaningful to you.

5. Never regret the past. It gave you the perspective that you have today. Past misfortunes are how you came to be understanding, empathetic and forgiving. Those who have never made any mistakes are often more judgmental of those who have.

6. Your answers are not behind you. Don’t live in your past, in your disadvantages, in your bad luck, in thoughts of the things you lack or how you have been wronged. Don’t use it to justify why things are not working out for you today. That’s all over now. Turn around. The answers to your questions are up ahead.

7. You’re getting better and better. As soon as you know it, so will everyone else, and I’ll be here to remind you every step of the way.

OK – that is all true, now here’s the challenge – how in day to day life do you DO it?? I want to see a post on that! The seven step guide to…

Oh, very good comment. I could come up with the easy answer, though still correct, which is 1. believing the words are true (you’re there)
2. don’t plan on mastering it in a week ; you never have to be perfect, you just have to start
3. try to be better at it today than you were yesterday ; you can change what you’re used to with regards to anything, including what you think about. What you think is what you act. But I know that you know all this.
And these answers are non-specific. Can you make your question more specific? Finish your sentence “Seven step guide….”. How does it end? If there is 1 point above that is the hardest for you to accept, or seems the most pat, which would it be?

OK – so that’s closer to what I was thinking about. Basically, the school of self help falls short these days with the right intent, but a HUGE blank between the intent and the steps. For the practitioner of these statements it may seems obvious, but for everyone else, a little more guidance please…
