THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - SELF DISCOVERY

"We have five senses in which we glory and which we recognize and celebrate, senses that constitute the sensible world for us. But there are other senses--secret senses, sixth senses, if you will--equally vital, but unrecognized, and unlauded."



Oliver Sacks

DEFEATISM

If you cringe before the pitiful mental picture of yourself in your mind, you defeat yourself before you start.

What most people fail to recognize is that within each one lies a reservoir of power. The quality of our life depends upon our determination to win a total victory over the dark fears within that consign us to be weak and fearful.

The renowned lecturer and author, Norman Vincent Peale, has this advice: "you have to humble yourself." You should learn to accept the kind of person that you are. Through self-discovery you will be able to appreciate the person that you really are. Self-discovery is a confrontation with your own self. Naturally, you will never like yourself when you suffer continuing inner conflicts and frustrations that take the joy of life or when a sense of guilt haunts you.

"Defeatism is our major
enemy in life."

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - SELF-DISCOVERY

"Some people say they haven't yet
found themselves. But the self is not
something one finds; it is something
that one creates."



Thomas Szasz

HUMBLE THYSELF!

SELF CONFIDENCE MEANS SUCCESS

A prominent Filipino writer once wrote, "a person's real worth depends on what he makes of himself."

We may have many open opportunities in life, but when does success become reality and not just a dream. To quote Dr. Maltz, "like confidence, success means self-discovery and improvement of your self-image."

Believe in yourself. Make the daily habit of building your feeling of self-esteem. No matter how small your talents are, God gave them to you for a purpose for you to use them for your well being and for that of others. Whatever you contribute to humanity counts. That is how important you are. Recall your successes. Work on your failures.

Self confidence will help you become a successful person.
