“How can you develop a self-concept linked to your untapped potential? First, you can decide on the kind of life you would like to lead in ten or fifteen years. This will give you a standard for making decisions about current activities and will reduce the inclination to compare yourself unfavorably to others. Learn to ask, "How would I handle this situation were I the person I hope to become?" And then take action in line with your vision.” GivingYearsFirstsKindPersonsSelfActionAsksLinesDecisionSituationVisionActivityTenStandardsConceptsCurrentsHandleCompareFifteenLinkedInclinationMaking DecisionsFifteen YearsLead InSelf ConceptUntapped Potential Author:Ari Kiev
“Parents impose their own limited concepts on their children, often ignoring their temperaments, special needs, and abilities. Your parents and teachers may have mistakenly ignored your strengths or may not have encouraged you to develop them. You can discover your basic capacities by experimenting with things that you always wanted to do. Don't be discouraged by notions that seem "silly" or "foolish" or "not you." Do it! Who knows what will happen?” KnowsNeedsMayChildrenSeemsHappensActionWantedParentAbilityTeacherSpecialConceptsCapacityNotionFoolishSillyOver YouIgnoredTemperamentDiscouragedSpecial NeedsParents And Teachers Author:Ari Kiev
