Design Your Life by Choosing Values & Habits

I just finished watching a great Dr. John F. DeMartini seminar on my laptop. Just a week ago I finished a Brian Tracy course. I enjoyed learning some important concepts about values and diligence.



Dr. DeMartini discussed how two people may have similar values yet they arrive at them from very opposite experiences. It some ways this makes their value system completely different. Of course, no one else has the same value system as you do, but with a little understanding and curiosity, two people can come together and appreciate what each other has to offer. This is how all relationships work whether they are personal or business.



Many people have values that fluctuate because they are not stand rock solid with their own values. If they take on other people's values, that they may not be living authentically.

What do you value in your own life? How do they keep you moving forward? Here is a list of values congruent with success.

So, values move people to act in a certain way. Brian Tracy provides a handy way to let your values influence your productivity. His course concentrated on how to have success at selling yourself for financial gain, but it can be applied to any type of interaction to achieve a goal. He discussed certain consistent habits that allow you to meet goals. They are thought habits and action habits. He had a realistic and foundational "how to" plan anyone can put into practice.

These are great lessons to help us push out the unenthusiastic beliefs that tend to take up residence in our psyches. We can replace our old thought patterns and values. It just takes little reminders so they become the empowering fuel in our nervous systems.
