TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE (your personal bar)

Have you ever seen someone not themselves? Sure, you have. It stands out & is not normal but acceptable as it signals that something is at work or not at work. What is being yourself? For the many, it is a closely guarded secret or something they rehearse & get tired of performing. Wanting to be accepted starts with you accepting yourself.

SELF-AWARENESS

What I am getting at is this. Being focused on who and what you are and when applying your gifts, talents, abilities and skills allows them to do all the work while you supervise. Knowing what they are is well worth the time to discover too. A lot of it has to do with attitude and self-awareness. Leave the ego & pride out of it

WORTHY NOTE: Unworthiness, low self-esteem, not good enough are lies making the rounds seeking/making a home in you. Cast them out & away. Yourself is left

THE HEART...a person's best inner friend

Things that make your heart sing (not your mind or emotions) are what I gravitate toward. I have learned that wherever the heart goes, I go with it. Things that I have to tolerate are handled quickly and efficiently too from the heart. The inner being speaks from the heart & rewards nicely, if you follow & listen

TICK-TOCK...I AM NOT A CLOCK

Find out what makes yourself tick. Then, watch how things fall into place for you and are attracted to you. Good for you, your customers & your world becomes a better place because you made it so. Your charge of self, is your duty to do

BLAME

Blame means we stopped being accountable & responsible to ourselves. Fault finding is a fine line. If for you to become better, so be it. If it is to rope someone else into your lose or dysfunction, watch it, less you compound your problems

YOUR FIRST ALLEGIANCE

Is to the wonderous, one-of-a-kind creation called you. Disrespect that & your personal stock will tank. Credibility loss follows & following that, a general devolving of YOU. Essentially, you are going the wrong way inner & outer

YOUR LESSONS

You must first visit with your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, motivations, values & bring them up to the bar level of being authentic. Even your weakness must be embraced for honesty's sake. At some point, integrity joins you. Now, we are living

BEING TRUE to OTHERS

If you did some inner work, then you may qualify to help others either by example, teacher, role model or helper. Counselors, who need counseling? Teachers of virtue? A sick doctor? A teacher who doesn't listen? If you need help, pause here

ANSWERING & ASKING QUESTIONS

If you have ever been on the witness stand, been in depositions, taught or shared a subject, or asked someone to do as you say, then you must be able to pass the first test i.e. do you know what you are talking about? Answering questions reveals much & in the above examples, if under oath, even more so.

THE TITLE OF THE POSTING

One of my favorite ways of testing a person or subject is to reverse the circumstances. Don't be true to yourself i.e. not care about you, & see how many followers you get. Self-respect is no myth. It is your standard of life-living

WORTHY NOTE: I happen to have little to NO tolerance for dirty jokes. I will speak up, walk-away, frown & in every way my demeanor can express itself: NO to this! The who are you is preserved when you stand. People don't like it? TOO BAD

ONE OF A KIND or (special)

We all know to treat certain items, places or events that have significance, importance, or historical value, expensive items, vacations, Gold, jewelry, cars, homes & all the rest with special handling, how about starting with you?  

WORTHY NOTE: If your standards are high, then high becomes your standard. 

THINE (yours) IS THEE (you) =be true (cherish) yourself

Richard Alan Naggar - this is a wonderful post for self-reflection. I get so tired of people blaming other people, calling them very bad names, and playing the martyr role. I wish people would look just look in the mirror and ask themselves, Is my relationship with myself worth all the stress to keep something I believe to be true about others true when it is not true? Who am I to play God?  

Blame and Fault Finding is a bad trap to fall into. 

Excellent post, Richard!
