THE MOST IMPORTANT MEETINGS YOU’LL EVER ATTEND ARE THE MEETINGS YOU HAVE WITH YOURSELF
by Denis Waitley

You are your most important critic. There is no opinion as vitally important to your well-being as the opinion you have of yourself. As you read this, you’re talking to yourself right now. “Let’s see if I understand what he means by that…. How does that compare with my experiences? I’ll make note of that—try it tomorrow. I already knew that…. I already do that.” I believe this self-talk, this psycholinguistics or this language of the mind can be controlled to work for us, especially in building self-confidence and creativity. We’re all talking to ourselves every moment of our lives, except during certain portions of our sleeping cycle. We’re seldom even aware that we’re doing it. We all have a running commentary in our heads on events and our reactions to them.

• Be aware of the silent conversation you have with yourself. Are you a nurturing coach or a critic? Do you reinforce your own success or negate it? Are you comfortable saying to yourself, “That’s more like it.” “Now we’re in the groove.” “Things are working out well.” “I am reaching my financial goals.” “I’ll do it better next time.”

• When winners fail, they view it as a temporary inconvenience, a learning experience, an isolated event and a steppingstone instead of a stumbling block.

• When winners succeed, they reinforce that success by feeling rewarded rather than guilty about the achievement and the applause.

• When winners are paid a compliment, they simply respond with “thank you.” They accept value graciously when it is paid. They pay value in their conversations with themselves and with other people.
