Greetings – thanks for coming back!

Well, what does self-esteem have to do with being successful? Can you be a success if your self-image is rotten? What do youthink? What is the level of your self-image? Are you successful?

Last time I mentioned a book by Dr. Joe Robino about self-esteem. However, I left you hanging, because I didn’t explain much about it or tell you how to get it. This book will make a difference in your life. Dr. Joe’s book is “The Self-Esteem Book: The Ultimate Guide to Boost the Most Underrated Ingredient for Success and Happiness in Life”. (Long subtitle, huh?)

It is a refreshing, easy-to-read guide that presents an effective step-by-step formula for improving your own self-esteem. A healthy level of self-esteem is so important to living a good life, free of regrets, conflicts and worries. Dr. Rubino, in his research, found out that only about 15 percent of us have sufficient self-esteem to be able to live life successfullly. That is incredible and disturbing.

Lacking self-esteem is often so hidden that we aren’t even aware of it. It comes out most in emotionally charged situations. And these situations are responsible for determining the quality of our lifes. It is crucially important to being all you can be and feeling successful in the quality of every area of your life. We’ll continue this discussion next time, but if you have some thoughts, feel free to post them.

Dr. Joe offers a free recording about self-esteem for taking the time to look at the information on his site.

Yes, I am an affiliate for this program, but primarily because I feel it is a vital topic for us all. Feel free to take a look and get the free recording. See if it is something that would be valuable for your life and your movement toward feeling successful.

Hi there,

How are you today? Its been a little cloudy here, but over 80 degrees.

To continue with our talk about success, what is your idea of success? Last time, I mentioned that I’ve
achieved some success in my life, but still have some goals. When you think about success for yourself,
you need to first consider your goals and priorities.

What do you value? Is it only financial success? What about relational success with your significant other,
or your family? How about spiritual success? Are you where you want to be spiritually? Or do you have
unfulfilled academic goals? For years, I wanted very much to go back to college. Finally, in my forties, I
started working on that goal. It can be done!

So to begin your search for success, consider these things first. Make lists and be very detailed and
specific. Work on these things each day for awhile until you are satisfied that these are really your
priorities for success. These are the things that will lead to fulfillment in your life. Check our Dr. Robino’s
book on self-esteem. It provides lots of help for looking at yourself in a realistic way and determining how
to improve your self esteem and your success in life.

Give these ideas some thought. We’ll talk about it more the next time.

Blessings,
Dr. Kary

Greetings!

Let’s get back to the business of this blog; success. Your success. What does that consist of? Do you feel successful? Or are you successful and just don’t feel that way? What was your definition of success? (We were talking about that some time back, if you want to check back a ways.)

Some people may really be successful, even though, in their own minds they aren’t. Guess I have to cop to
that one. I’m sure that some people would consider me successful since I’ve raised four great sons, gotten
my doctorate in psychology (pretty much by my own efforts), and am now retired and married to a wonderful man. However, there’ s still that nagging in the back of my mind. I haven’t felt successful because I haven’t yet made a lot of money. (That’s going to change here very shortly! Right!)

So, what defines success for you? Are you like me and have achieved success in many areas, but not in others? What are you going to do about it? Let’s get back to discussing this subject and see where we go
from here. What is it that you need to do to feel successful?

Write me your thoughts and let me know what you think it takes.

Blessings,
Dr. Kary

Hey there,
Just a very short post to let you know that I’m back in gear. Hooray! Had lots of computer troubles, then got a new computer. Took quite a while to get up to speed. Let me know what has been happening to you since the last post and what you’d like to know. What success have you had? Looking forward to ‘talking’ to you again.
Dr. Kary
