Hi.

Do you know what is the greatest challenge you will ever face in your life?

Many answers could be right to this question but I think and I feel that what Dr. Shad Helmstetter says in his old school classic “What to Say When You Talk to Yourself” is a really, a really good take to this question.

So, what is the greatest challenge we will ever face in our lives?

Answer:
Learning to manage, control, and direct the resources of our minds.

Shall I repeat it?

Learning to manage, control, and direct the resources of our minds is the greatest challenge we will ever face in our lives.

Specifically, Dr. Helmstetter says:
“The key to all management, the management of others, the management of your resources, and the management of your future is Self-Management. And he advises us:

Talk to yourself! Learn the words—the right words—and use them. Make Self-Talk an everyday, unconscious, self-directing habit. Talk to yourself in a way that is kind, loving, caring, strong, demanding, and determined.

Talk to yourself in the right way, every day.
When you do, he concludes, you will give yourself the greatest gift you will ever give.”

Cool advice isn’t it?

One more time I feel that we fall upon the ancient wisdom that echoes to us through the ages.

Master yourself.

Master your mind.

Probably it is the most important step we can take to live at our best.

Take care!

All my best,
