Hi there,
Here is your weekly For Value Sake, contributing value to your growth.

A Quote Worth Thinking About

“Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal”
- Earl Nightingale

+ Read past editions of For Value Sake: 26, 25, and 24.

1. INCREASE YOUR CONFIDENCE

excerpts:
+“Success is continuously improving who you are, how you live, how you serve, and how you relate.”

CONFIDENCE, from a scientific perspective, is the byproduct of prior performance. In other words, confidence must be earned. Your confidence is the emotional evidence of what you’ve done and where you’re currently at.

Confidence, then, becomes your foundation.

Without confidence, your imagination is weakened. Having confidence allows you to think bigger about your life.

The more confidence you have, the more imagination and courage you can have. You need both imagination and courage to create a better life.

In order to have real confidence, you not only need to succeed at what you’re doing. You need to COMPLETE things (of course, some things should be dropped).

2. REAL LOVE IS PEACEFUL, NOT IMPASSIONED

excerpts:
+ “Healthy individuals enjoy the excitement of initial infatuation, but they move past it to develop real love, rather than misidentifying “the rush of first romance” as “love.

+ “When a partner (or the relationship) is up, down, hot, cold, ecstatic, pissed, etc., we spend far too much time managing their feelings and not enough time actually building the relationship.

+“When we chase romance and excitement, we do to “love” what porn does to sex.

Here for the love junkies and drama people.
Enjoy

3. THE DECISION MATRIX

excerpts:
+ How to prioritize what matters. The decisions we spend the most time on are rarely the most important ones.

4. WATCH AND LEARN (a TED talk)

+ SciFi Stories that Imagine a future for Africa. Nnedi Okorafor weaves African cultures into the evocative settings and memorable characters. She discusses the inspiration and roots of her work in this video.

5. WHAT I’M READING

+ Think and Grow Rich — Napoleon Hill. I came across this book a couple of years ago. I started reading it but didn’t quite get through it.
As I read it this time I realize why, Its a workbook. It doesn’t talk about how to be successful it shows you practical steps.
