Today is the beginning of a
new day.
God has given me this day to
use as I will.
I can waste it - or use it for
good, but whatever I do today
is important, because I am
exchanging a day of my life for
it.
I want today to be for gain,
and not loss; good and not
evil; success, and not failure in
order that I shall not regret
the price I have paid for it.

SELF-AWARENESS
• Winners are aware of their
world and all it has to offer.
• Positive self-awareness is
knowing who you are, what
you believe in, the role in
life and work you are
presently filling
• You have been selling
yourself short all your life.
• You have the opportunity to
experience more
environmental, physical, and
mental abundance than you
are presently experiencing.
• Positive self-awareness is
opening your eyes to the
possibilities and alternatives
available.
• Change your attitude and
your environments will
change automatically

available.
• Change your attitude and
your environments will
change automatically
SELF-ESTEEM
•
•
•
Self-esteem is the deep-down,
inside-the-skin feeling of your own
self-worth.
You realize that liking yourself and
accepting yourself are not
necessarily egotistical.
You know that you are unique, one
of a kind. There has never been nor
ever will be anyone exactly like
you.
•
•
•
Positive self-esteem means
accepting yourself, totally and
unconditionally, fully realizing you
have strengths and weaknesses,
good points and bad, positive and
negative qualities.
To establish true self-esteem, you
need to concentrate on your
positive attributes, your good
qualities, your successes.
Each and every person is
important. Nobody is more
important than anyone else.
SELF-ESTEEM
•
•
•
•
When someone criticizes you, you
understand that he or she is
criticizing your behavior, not you.
In other words you don’t have to
take it personally.
When someone compliments you,
simply say, "Thank you."
You know when to say, "I'm sorry,”
“I made a mistake," and "I
forgive,”
Humility is recognizing and
emphasizing the value in others. It
is not degrading yourself or
minimizing your own worth.
•
You are an incredible creation.
Look at your assets:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
•
A mind that thinks at the rate of 800 words per
minute
Eyes with 100 million receptors
Ears with 24,000 fibers
500 muscles
200 bones
7 miles of nerve fiber
60,000 miles of blood vessels
a heart that pumps more than 1,600 gallons of
blood each day
500,000 touch detectors
You understand that the selfmanagement skill of positive selfesteem is an important key to your
professional success.
SELF-CONTROL
•
•
•
We are emotional human beings.
Our emotions seem to take control
sometimes. Acknowledging this
and understanding how to control
your emotions will make life easier.
At the root of a distressful situation
is often a dominant need.
When our needs aren't met, we
often become uncomfortable, upset,
angry, or confused
•
•
•
Understanding our needs can be the
beginning of positive self-control.
According personal responsibility
for our attitudes and actions will
give us positive self-control.
Our goal is to erect a Statue of
Responsibility.

SELF-CONTROL
•
•
•
The person who admits a mistake
and says "I'm sorry" is accepting
personal responsibility.
Qualifying phrases such as "If
only…” creates weakness.
Everything you do is habit. Your
habits are formed over many years
and take time to break. Determine
which losing habits you want to
eliminate and strive to develop
winning habits.
•
•
•
One of the best ways to break a bad
habit is to replace it with a good
one. Rather than trying to force out
the old bad habit, concentrate your
energy on developing the new
habit, which eventually will replace
the old.
Life is a "do-it-to-myself program,”
and take the credit and the blame
for my position.
Positive self-control is a selfmanagement skill, which, when
developed, puts you in control of
your career and environment.
SELF-MOTIVATION
• A motive is that which is within
an individual which incites him
or her to action.
• Fear is the powerful negative
motivator that restricts, tightens,
panics, forces, and defeats.
• Desire is the strong positive
motivator that attracts, reaches,
opens, directs, and encourages.
• Our lives are controlled largely
by the way we talk to ourselves,
that is, by our self-talk.
• Winners see the rewards of
success in advance; they do not
fear the penalties of failure.
• Losers express built-in excuses
by saying "I can't" and "I have
to" instead of "I can" and "I
want to."
SELF-MOTIVATION
• There is no such thing as a
stress-free life. A life without
stress would really be no life at
all.
• Winners know how to respond
positively to stress. They use it
to their advantage rather than
being controlled by it.
• It is not possible to move away
from the reverse of an idea;
your actions will be controlled
by your currently dominant
thought.
• What do you fear? Determine
your fears and start to do the
things you fear to do. Action
will minimize and ultimately
eliminate your fears.
• Positive self-motivation is
dissatisfaction with the status
quo or a desire for change.
• Positive self-motivation is a self
management skill which will
move you in a positive
direction.
SELF-EXPECTATION
• The single most outwardly
identifiable trait of a winning
human being is positive selfexpectation, which is pure and
simple optimism.
• You may or may not get what
you deserve in life, but you
almost always get what you
expect from life.
• Winners expect a good job,
financial stability, a nice home,
good, friends, ,success, and
good health.
• Losers expect such occurrences
as the loss of job, bankruptcy, a
dull evening, bad service,
failure, and ill health.
• The study of psychosomatic
medicine the relationship
between the mind and the body
and how each affects the otherindicates that the body
manifests what the mind
harbors.
SELF-EXPECTATION
• All people have germs, but not
all people become ill, instead,
the cause of disease is closely
linked to people’s reactions to
life's situations.
• Winners in all walks of life are
consistent in their ability to do a
good job, and they set out to
prove themselves correct.
• One of the best ways to develop
positive self-expectancy is to
use positive self- talk all day
every day..
• Nobody likes to be around
negative pessimistic, skeptical
losers. They repel others
• People are attracted to
optimistic, enthusiastic,
cheerful winners.
• Give yourself an extra dose of
unqualified, burning optimism.
It is the elixir of life
• Positive self-expectancy is a
self-management skill which
can positively affect every
situation.
SELF-IMAGE
• Understanding your self-image
is the key to understanding your
behavior. When you change
your self-image, your
personality and behavior
changes accordingly.
• What you "see" is what you get.
Who you "feel" is who you are.
• Individuals behave according to
their perceptions of reality, not
according to actual reality. It is
not what you "are" that holds
you back; It's "what you think
you are not."
• Each of us has developed a selfimage concerning every talent,
every characteristic, every
performance.'
• Your self-image dwells in the
subconscious level of thinking.
• The conscious level of thinking
acts as a "judge," it collects
information from. the
environment, stores in the
memory bank, and makes
rational decisions.
SELF-IMAGE
• The subconscious level of
thinking acts as a "robot;" it is
responsible for autonomic body
control, such as respiration and
circulation.
• The subconscious "robot"
controls the conscious "judge"
level of thinking. action
frequently takes place without
consultation with the "judge,"
but no action ever takes place
without reference to the "robot."
• Scientists agree that the human
nervous system cannot tell the
difference between an actual
experience and vividly
imagined.
• You can program your own self
image by imagining yourself as
the person you want to become.
• Creating a positive self-image is
a critical self-management skill
which can make the difference
between being productive and
non-productive.
SELF-DIRECTION
• Winners have a game plan for
life.
• Positive self-direction means
knowing where you are going.
• The human system is goalseeking by design.
• This system constantly
monitors self-talk and
environmental feedback about
the goal and adjusts self-image
setting in its subconscious robot
achievement mechanism.
• Every decision necessary to
reach a particular goal is made
by your self-motivated system.
• Winners are people with a
definite purpose in life.
• What kinds of goals are you
committed to?
• We all have the potential and
opportunity for success in life.
it takes just as much energy and
effort to fail as does to succeed
and live the good life.
SELF-DIRECTION
• What do you stand for? If you
don’t stand for something,
you'll fall for anything.
• Most people spend. more time
planning a party, studying the
newspaper, or making a
Christmas list than they spend
planning their lives.
• The secret to positive selfdirection is in establishing; a
clearly defined goal, writing it
down, and then concentrating
on it morning and night, with
words, pictures and emotions,
as if you had already achieved
it.
• The self-management skill of
positive self-direction will
focus your energy on specific
goals and objections.
SELF-DISCIPLINE
• Self-discipline requires
practice.
• Self-discipline begins where lip
service ends.
• You may be motivated by
desire; you may feel in control;
you may expect to go to the
moon; you may imagine
yourself on the moon. But you
will never even get near the
launching pad without
persistent self-discipline
• Self-discipline alone can make
or break a habit. Self-discipline
can effect a permanent change
in your self-image and in you.
• Self-discipline is doing within
when you are without.
• Positive self-discipline demands
that you commit to memory
those thoughts and emotions
that will override current
information stored in the
memory bank
SELF-DISCIPLINE
• You must practice simulation
training, that is, you must
imagine and visualize what you
want to be.
• Advanced Learning is one
method for simulation training.
• We learned how to walk, talk,
dive, type, ski; and to perform
many other skills by practicing
them. Isn't it worth it to practice
simulation training by means of
Advanced Learning in order to
master self-discipline?
• Everything is habit forming if it
is repeated.
• The self-management skill of
positive self-discipline is simply
practicing and simulating
successful coming events.
SELF-DIMENSION
• Acquiring a positive selfdimension requires looking
beyond yourself for meaning in
life.
• A winner puts it all together, He
or she is a total person, which is
a. rare human being indeed.
• Self-dimension takes the
Psychology of Winning beyond
the self and into the universe.
• Winning means extending a
strong hand to one who is
reaching or groping or, just
hanging on. Winners know
there will be no lasting peace on
earth until there's a piece of
bread in every mouth.
• Self-dimension starts with the
inner circle - the family.
• Winners live well-rounded
lives. They spend time
developing their most important
relationships,
SELF-DIMENSION
• Positive self-dimension means
having a “double win" attitude,
"If I help you win, then I win.”
• Winners go beyond the
horoscopes and stars and
fortune tellers prophesies,
beyond the do-it-yourself
advice, beyond the plastic
surgeons knife. Instead, they.
live each precious, golden
moment as if it were their last,
building for the future and
learning from the past.
• Positive self-dimension is being
in harmony with the divine
order that shapes the entire
universe.
• Because winners understand the
mortality of their own bodies,
they are able to age gracefully.
• Developing positive selfdimension is a self-management
skill which affects all areas of
your life.
SELF-PROJECTION
• Winners in life are walking
examples of positive selfprojection. They project an
aura; they have an unmistakable
presence; they have a charisma
that is disarming, radiant and
magnetic.
• Positive self-projection depends
upon creating a positive first
impression, knowing you'll
never have a second chance.
• Studies have shown a definite
correlation between looking
good and success in life. A
recent Harvard study pointed
out that people who are made to
feel unattractive by themselves
and their peers tend to suffer
from feelings of loneliness,
rejection, and isolation.
• Winners can project success
without flaunting it.
SELF-PROJECTION
• Positive self-projection means
introducing yourself first when
you meet people, saying “Hello,
my name is…”
• Look straight into the eyes of
the person who is talking.
• Positive self-projection is
learning how to listen to others.
• Winners exhibit an "I'll make
them glad they talked to me"
attitude.
• Positive self-projection is being
service-oriented, not self
oriented.
• Project your very best self
every day in the way you walk,
talk, listen, and react.
• Positive self-projection is a selfmanagement skill others can
benefit from when around you.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure. It is our light, not our
darkness, that most frightens us. We ask
ourselves, “who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a
child of God. Your playing small doesn’t service
the world. There’s nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure
around you.
We were born to make manifest the Glory of
God that is within us. It’s not just in some of
us. It’s in everyone, and as we let our light
shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
