CAROL DWECK ~ The POWER of YET (TEDtalk!)



The POWER of NOT YET
And, The TYRANNY of NOW


The TYRANNY of NOW
---She is speaking of the mindset where one thinks that effort and actually learning something is looked upon as a bad thing. After all, ‘’being smart’’, everything should be effortless and easy and just ‘’come to you.’’ Somehow you should already know it.

The POWER of NOT YET
---The power of NOT YET seems much less pressure making letting you know that even if you’re not quite there AS OF YET it is in your future. You are heading in the right direction. There is a learning curve AND you are on it.

VALUES USUALLY GOVERN ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS!

Values Usually Govern

Attitude + Behavior
---Our values usually govern our attitudes and behaviors. If we have a value system that sees our fellow man as being part of the family of man that we belong to…one tends to want the most for him. ‘’You want him to be The BEST that he can be.’’

---If we find ourselves competing and comparing ourselves with his achievements…we will find ourselves always working on keeping up with the Jones - or whatever ''IN'' EXPRESSION best represents that condition nowadays. It is easy to have jealousy and envy rearing its head in there. We, probably, will spend much time on whatever is trendy as opposed to thinking on your own.


---Values produce attitudes and hence we behave accordingly. As we wrote before - when we don’t like someone, these or this dynamic is what we’re usually referring to. If that person behaved differently he would push different buttons in us and we would undoubtedly have a different experience of him. We would probably be responding to whatever different behavior that he is now using in front of us. Be Well.

STRIKING DIFFERENCEs BETWEEN WINNERs/LOSERs

Striking Differences Between Winners and Losers

---In my quest to post things that may be found useful in one's journey of self-improvement, I found a list of 33 traits that are shared by winners and losers. I am NOT calling anyone names through this, this is what I do. Ever since I discovered that one could actually improve and make his life better...I have been at this. I am sure that being born as I was (missing fingers, etc.,) has much to do with my venture into this career...if you will.

---My wish for you all is in the hope that you discover something that frees you so as to increase your happiness and to make your life and the lives of those you touch...BETTER EACH DAY!

---I hope that you enjoy them! Best to ALL!

The PANE CLINIC!


The PANE CLINIC


CLICK PICTURE


This is NOT the PAIN CLINIC

That We’re Used To;
Nevertheless, It Is The PANE CLINIC

It’s Called THAT to Bring up
The Image of Windows…
The Cleaner It Is, The Clearer It Is!
Sometimes, When Spotless,
It Is Hard To Tell
There is a Window, There!

We Liken This To The MIND
When It Is Clean, and Clear
And as Spotless as can be
When Things Are Seen That Way,
Resistance To The Concept Is Low
Pain Is Hard To Find!

We Can, Actually, Say
When The Pane Is Clean + Clear
The Pain Is NOT Found!
The PANE CLINIC Has Done It’s Job!

In ALL Actuality
The PANE CLINIC RESIDES
In The THIRD EYE…Itself!

OUCH! A Smudge -
There’s The PAIN!

UNREQUITED LOVE - UNREQUITED SELF!

UNREQUITED LOVE;
The UNREQUITED SELF



CLICK PICTURE

---Did you ever LOVE someone who didn’t LOVE you back? Did you ever have a crush on someone who didn’t feel the same way about you? This is hardcore rejection as far as I can see AND you will, probably, spend some time in the dumper because of it.

---At those times it can feel like you were kicked in the pit of the stomach…and you can’t see anyway out. It is very difficult to do anything else. This consumes, basically, every bit of attention you can muster. You spend a lot of time on different ways that you should have handled things. You spend much time living in the ‘if…only’s.’

---This is important to remember at those times. You WILL feel better, even, though, you CAN’T see it. It doesn’t seem like you will ever pullout of this one. As many of us know…that this won’t last forever. When you get back into the flow of things, everything will be better…EVENTUALLY!

---I’d like to say here that many of us are in that boat…we just aren’t aware of that fact. We have this thing called our potential, and if you are like many of us, you aren’t quite living up to it. You are unrequited in that sense. So, then you will probably say, if I don’t know what that is, it can’t hurt ME.

---I think there is a restless part of ourselves that is well aware of how we’re doing in terms of our capabilities. As the old saying goes…you CAN’T fool mother nature. If you are fulfilling what your purpose is and doing what is on target for you, that is reflected in how you feel about what you’re doing. The questions that arise are not ‘what should I be doing?’ but, more like, ‘I wonder if this is the BEST way to do what I’m doing?’ You'll be fine tuning and tweaking INSTEAD of being stuck on the major questions all-the-time.

---That is why I see self-acceptance to be so important. If everything that you do has the feel of I don’t feel I’m good enough to do it, everything that you do will reflect that. You will be asking that question ad nauseam - am I doing what I’m suppose to be doing? OR, better yet…am I suppose to be who I am? With self-acceptance…that question will have already been answered. The doubt that you will labor under without self-acceptance will negatively affect the quality of ALL you produce. Be Well.


ACCEPT YOURSELF - SO CALLED FLAWS + ALL!


This is a Draft!

Dr. WAYNE DYER - (COMPLETE AUDIO BOOK) ''LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER''



Dr. Wayne Dyer has been speaking about ''Living A Happy Life'' for many years. I remember I was told of his book ''Erroneous Zones'' from my brother Peter in 1976. I remember talking of WD in the late 1990's and mentioning that one was able to watch his development over the years. He is still going strong in 2016. He has been a joy to watch.

SELF-ACCEPTANCE - AN EXPLANATION!

How Everything Works Together!



CLICK PICTURE

---To look a little closer at why both statements are true...we must see the importance of self-acceptance. We find this is one of the biggest stumbling blocks that we have. We must know and accept ourselves - AS WE ARE. If we don't do this, we find we are continually trying to knoand accept ourselves. Until we do...everything that we do has us wonder if we are GOOD ENOUGH...in some sense?

[IMPORTANT: We don't wait until we think we are PERFECT to accept ourselves. ACCEPT YOURSELF w/ SO-CALLED FLAWS + ALL. Eventually we stop playing this game of wondering if we are perfect or not?]



---Our GIFT is exposed in the answer we give to the above question. If one knows and accepts himself then...the above answer is YES. He will have NO trouble finding his gift. That will be who he is. If he is NOT convinced that it is okay to be himself, then he will answer the above question in the negative. He doesn't know or realize that HIS GIFT IS HIMSELF. It is IMPORTANT to know that EVERYONE REALIZES THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH!

---ONE finds that to ''give it away'' is this – to help others find who they are? PEOPLE ARE THEIR OWN GIFT! Everything that we need to know is contained within. We give it away in the sense that we help others find who they are...AND, KNOW THAT THE 'BEST' THEY CAN BE IS - TO BE THEMSELVES! You have given away the knowledge that YOUR GIFT IS YOURSELF.

THE PARADOX IS – YOU EITHER REALLY KNOW THIS or YOU DON'T!



---To summarize – if one fully knows that he is good enough...then he will have already 'accepted himself.' He will progress further. He will realize that MAN IS HIS OWN GIFT. By optimizing who he is (reaching his own potential OR  actualizing who he is) he WILL know that he is on course. Otherwise, he won't. Be Well.



The irony of all this is - it either sounds like a jumble of words to you OR it doesn't.
