Self-Image Values Beliefs Self-Image A friend of mine posted a question online the other day What is your self-image. It made me think for a moment, but it didn’t take long for me to work out what it is. Self-image is one thing that most people don’t bother to think about.

The act of making New Year’s Resolution is a novel idea, but in reality, how many people have actually pulled through with their resolutions? I can definitely tell you that only a very tiny number... 

Awareness I mentioned in my previous article that the reason I was able to turn my life around was due to awareness.  I became aware of what was happening in my mind that was causing me so much grief and frustration. I needed to know: Why was I having such a run of bad luck Why was I unable to achieve success in my goals Why was I unable to achieve happiness Why was self improvement so difficult to achieve In his book Reprograming The... 

Most people wake up each day to go to work, attend to their kids (if they have one), go and do house chores, etc. By the time they finish doing all that, they realise that they haven’t completed a few more things or have not done some things properly. The mind is in a disarray, and all the pressures of modern-day life are sapping the energy out of people. I was in a similar situation. There was so much noise in my mind, that I can’t...
