Self Esteem - You Deserve It All

Did you ever wonder why some people confidently achieve their goals with little effort, while others appear to struggle through life? To begin experiencing success you must feel successful and believe you deserve to be so. The level of self-esteem you have dictates what you allow into your life. A woman told me one day, You are only as successful and happy as you want to be. I was startled by the idea that I was actually in control of my life and all I had to do was to change my attitude and my beliefs. I began to practice thinking positive thoughts, even if I didn't believe them 100%. During my day I recited mantras such as:

I deserve all that I desire.
If someone else can do something, so can I.
I am perfectly where I should be every moment.
I am a divine creation.
Each time I found myself thinking something negative or doubting myself I practiced my positive affirmations. After awhile I began to see that things really do go well when you expect them to. When you practice believing, it's always something, you are preparing yourself for expected setbacks and failures; inviting and accepting obstacles that will prevent you from achieving success. This allows you to blame life for your failures instead of taking responsibility for yourself.

On the other hand, when you believe that you will achieve your goals, seamlessly and effortlessly, you will find that you receive the guidance you need to do so and will know the steps to take in the process. Furthermore, you will be encouraged by the momentum you experience when things go well. As you see your efforts materialize into the results you desire. you will gain confidence in your ability to create successful outcomes. Through each step in this process you will be come happier which will support and increase you healthy self-esteem. We live in a universe of infinite possibilities; one of these being that we deserve to have what we truly desire.

Success means different things to each of us, but what it has in common for all is achieving what we desire; but does this mean you are only successful if you achieve your final goal or is success an ongoing process of moments occurring they way you would have them? When exactly do you become a success or is each small accomplishment a part of the success you achieve during your visit here on earth? I find that recognizing, showing gratitude for and celebrating the small successes in my life opens the door for more.

Begin to allow yourself the joy of seeing yourself involved in successful action - remember, you deserve it.
