Mental Strength Tip #85 – Self Expression and Personal Success

Welcome back to another Mental Strength Tip!

Achieving personal success and reaching your personal goals begins with a mental strength mindset of empowering beliefs.

Reaching your personal goals and personal success starts in your mind…and finishes with taking inspired and massive action.

This is one in a series of virtual success coaching and mental strength tips to help kick-start your week.  It is intended to enthuse and inspire you to take action so that you can reach your personal goals and personal success.

I take one mental strength tips and run though a brief overview of it, then ask some very direct success coaching questions.  The intention of this virtual success coaching session is for you to write and answer these questions in your success journal and then reflect on them to gain insight on yourself, your dreams and what’s holding you back.

These series of posts are for YOU!  If I’m not able to success coach you personally then I highly recommend picking up a copy of “Develop the Mental Strength of a Warrior.” It’s a book that will take you through the exact process to take back control of your thoughts so that you can live a life a power, purpose and passion with perseverance!

Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:

To help you understand the difference in motivation by proving yourself and expressing yourself to achieve your personal goals and personal success.

“The desire for self-expression afflicts people when they feel there is something of themselves which is not getting through to the outside world.” – Fay Weldon

Let’s Get Started:

Self-expression comes from the Soul; where as proving yourself comes from an unhealthy ego.  When you are motivated to use your business or career as a form of self-expression in achieving your personal goals, your personal success will be assured…and you’ll have more fun.

Questions to Uncover Beliefs about Mental Strength Thinking:

• Have you ever been motivated by the desire to prove yourself?
• Are you trying to prove yourself to anyone right now?
• Have you ever gained lasting satisfaction by proving yourself to someone else?

Unsupportive Beliefs about Self-Expression

• Self-expression is for artists.
• When I’m able to prove myself I’ll be successful and happy
• I don’t have any specific personal goal, but I know when I have proved myself.
• I’ll feel inadequate until I prove myself.

Mental Strength Beliefs about Self-Expression

• I don’t need to prove anything to feel worthy.
• Self-expression is the highest level of living.
• Self-expression is living a life of power, purpose and passion.

Outrageous Questions:

• Are you out to prove or express yourself, especially with achieving your personal goals and personal success?
• Do you know the difference between proving and expressing?
• Are you more ego-driven or Soul-directed?

Reflective Questions:

• What percentage of time do you operate from an ego-driven consciousness compared to a Soul-directed consciousness?
• Would your closest friends and family agree with you?
• Is your primary way of think, i.e. coming from ego vs. Soul, helping you get closer to your personal goals and personal success?

Mental Strength Coaching:

Like many of the other mental strength questions in these virtual success coaching sessions, the ego/Soul question must be asked on a regular basis, no matter how successful you think you are.

Proving vs. expressing is just on component of this concept.  The overall goal is to condition you to constantly analyze your thinking as well as to discover what is at the root of your thinking.

These virtual success coaching session are intended to be the catalyst in this process, and most likely will be the only opportunity you’ll have at shifting your thinking, unless you coach with me personally.

Final Thought

Moving from ego-driven to Soul-direct to express yourself, instead of trying to prove yourself, is challenging at times. This shift in thinking will not happen overnight.  Please be patient and persistent knowing that when you succeed, you have altered your destiny forever!
