Empowerment Tip
UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
In her wonderful book You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay says that each one of us has feelings of inferiority that are manifested in the conclusion that we are not good enough. We think that we are not as good as other people and we feel that we are not good enough to achieve and enjoy the things that we want in life.
The fact is that you deserve every good thing that you are capable of achieving as the result of the application of your talents. If you want something badly enough, nothing in the world can stop you from getting it, if you are willing to persist long enough and hard enough. We have high hopes and dreams and aspirations, but we let doubts creep in and undermine our competence and effectiveness. Men and women who accomplish extraordinary things are just ordinary people who developed themselves mentally to the point where they were able to overcome the obstacles that stood in their way and they kept on until the goal was attained.
William James said that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitude of mind. The reason for this is because we always act in a manner consistent with our innermost beliefs and convictions. If you believe yourself capable of accomplishing good things, you will walk and talk and act like it. Your behaviors will actually make your beliefs a reality.
The most destructive beliefs that you can have are what we call "self-limiting beliefs." Sometimes you, or others, will say that you cannot achieve certain goals because you did not get enough education. Sometimes you will say that it is because of your gender or race or age or the state of the economy. Many people blame their parents or their bosses or their families or their current relationships for their failure to make progress in life.  Others say that there is no opportunity in their particular area. Some complain because they have no money. Others complain because they received poor grades in school or did not go to, or finish, college. Still others say that they have never had a natural talent or ability for a particular field. Argue for your limitations and they are yours.
Question your basic premises. Check your assumptions. Ask yourself, "What assumptions am I making about myself or my situation that might not be true?" We fall in love with our excuses and our assumptions. We fall in love with our reasons for not moving ahead.
Even if someone comes along and challenges those reasons, even if someone tells you that you have the capacity to accomplish marvelous things, you will argue with him/ her.
If someone tells you that you can do far better than you're doing right now, you will come up with reasons to dispute this person's greater belief in your potential. We dispute and argue and attempt to prove to ourselves and others that our limitations are real.
What beliefs might you have that are holding you back right now? We do not behave according to the truth but we behave according to the truth as we perceive it to be. These believes  are based on information and ideas that we have accepted as true, sometimes in early childhood, we accept them and they become our reality. You can always tell what your true values and beliefs are by looking at your actions.
It isn't what you say, wish, hope or intend. It's only what you do that counts. It's only the behaviors that you engage in. It's only the actions that you choose to undertake.Your values and beliefs are always expressed in your actions and behaviors.The wonderful thing is this. Each of us is in a state of becoming.
Many years ago, a great teacher of mine said that each human being is in a permanent state of transformation. You are constantly evolving toward the fulfillment of your individual possibilities. To develop beliefs that serve your life better decide exactly where you want to end up sometime in the future. Dr. Roberto Assagioli calls this you "ideal result".
Robert Fritz, in his book The Path of Least Resistance calls this your "future vision."The clearer you are about your ideal result or future the easier it is for you to alter your actions and behaviors. Once you've clearly decided on the person you would like to become, you are on the path toward developing new beliefs.
Past Tip
BELIEF WITHOUT EVIDENCES
This Empowerment tip describes how we must alter our level of expectations in order to experience change or growth. In changing our expectancy level, we must believe in our selves and our dreams and have faith to persevere. People who must have evidences or concrete feedback before they will take a risk find it very difficult to grow, change, and utilize their full potential. Human beings behave not according to the truth; they behave according to the truth, as they perceive it to be. That is determined by cultural trends.
Cultural trends are opinions that are commonly accepted as the truth. For example, in Columbus' day, the common belief was that the earth was flat...His problem was not that he believed the earth was round; his problem was convincing other people to believe. If you were a banker in Columbus's day would lend him the money? If Columbus would ask you to go sailing around the world, would you have gone?
Your Challenge, and my challenge, is to get other people to believe that they can do more. This is how you can empower yourself.
  1. To belief without evidences, you must set the goal first.
  2. You must know what is a value to you first before the information gets through.
The information does not come to you unless you decide what it is that you want and is a value to you. This is the reason why we set the goal first. In the back of your, brain there is filter it has the shape of and apple this filter blocks out information that is not important to you. i.e. If a mother is sound a sleep there are all kind of noises but if her baby cries she is up. This filter only allows information that it is of value or threat.
You set the goal first, them the information comes through. You have to decide what you are looking for. What kind of clients you are looking for, what kind job, what kind of car. The ingredient that high performance people have is that they believe without evidence. Everyone wants the evidence first, before they will believe. However, it does not work that way.
Another word for belief without evidence is faith. You set your goal based in what you want, not what you have. You must change your expectations in order to grow, become, and change. Problems cannot be solved at the same level, of awareness that created them.
Testimonial
"This is to all who want to know the empowerment that you can experience with this incredible lady. I was just getting back into working out when Josephina was working out, we started to chat and especially after knowing each other for almost 20 years she suggested that we train together for 6 weeks because she was getting ready for an up and coming competition I agreed and we settled on a time.
When we met up for our first workout she handed me her workbook and said If you are serious about changing your body and making positive changes in your life we need to do both external and internal transformation. This has been my most exciting life change mentally and physically. I lost 28 pounds and my attitude has been revitalized I look forward to everyday and knowing that the universe and God and my dearest friends inspiration and knowledge and her empowerment program has had an incredible positive impact on my life
I am now looking forward to my first body building or figure competition this summer and never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined that would ever be a possibility. To you Josephina I give my thanks and my love and eternal gratefulness."
