Imagine - having grown up without hurtful criticism or bad feelings about yourself
Imagine - living with enough encouragement and affirmation that you never learned to question yourself.
Imagine - a world that really listens and tries to understand you!
Imagine - being taken seriously that, your feelings are understood; your thoughts valued and others respect your judgment and simply enjoy being with you.
Imagine - a relationship where no one gets defensive; where you can be open about your feelings and you can really be yourself.
Imagine - a life without daily worry and anxiety. Think of all the energy that would be released for your daily life and your ability to invest in yourself and others.
Imagine - feeling special enough that you never question your love-ability or what you have to offer to another.
Imagine - living each day where no one in your world is self-centered; where you're focused on what's best for you - but on what's best for others as well.
Imagine - that this isn't a fantasy. That this could be the world you build every day for yourself and for those already in your world and for others who some day will become part of your world.
Give it your best - you can do it!

How High Is Your Bar?
I'm convinced only 4% of the world sets a high enough bar for themselves. Some folks do set a high bar for specific areas such as academic performance or physical fitness - but few people take themselves seriously enough to set a high bar for themselves in each and every area of their lives.
I'm talking about having clarity regarding:
1) personal priorities (some think in spiritual terms in this area)
2) relating to others without coming from a self-centered place (think "emotional fitness")
3) physical fitness
4) how you treat your partner or spouse
5) and academic or career (or self-learning) goals.
Only 4% take themselves seriously enough to consistently pursue these 5 areas in a way that shows that they are equal value and importance. Only a small number have the internal emotional and moral compass to invest themselves in these 5 crucial areas and not settle for a "good-enough" body or a "good-enough" relationship or a "good-enough" attitude toward whatever is in front of them.
So the question is: "how seriously do you take yourself"?
And if you're not part of this 4% - why not? What's keeping you from being the person you were born to be?
This is something for everyone to think about - and to take seriously.
