REHAB SELF REFLECTION 101: I'M THE PROBLEM (FOR 2010)

If you find yourself pointing the fingers at others thinking everyone is wrong, you need to reevaluate yourself. It's easy to say others are the problem. But looking from within and being the bigger person, and admitting you need to be dealt with, and could be the problem. This is the first step to rehab self reflection. Laying the cards down and saying it's me first.

First you need to know that everyone has flaws including me. So list your flaws. Then second, talk to God and mediate about your flaws, know this process won't happen overnight. You will have to work on it, a flaw at a time. Remember your only human and we all mess up. Third is exercise your progress and work on it. When you see yourself backsliding on your progress. Notice it and get back to evaluating and praying.

For you to be better person, God has to be with you every step of the way. Continue to build on each flaw until you see a reduction of the same flaw reappearing. You will find yourself improving. Then when a problem arises you will learn to deal with it in a positive approach instead of your old negative approach. You will find when you delete bad habits, you will be present for the world. And feel better about your well being. Their is no need to point fingers, because remember if the other person is wrong, they will be dealt with. And your reactions will show a positive, now present being. If you didn't know yourself now, you will recognize yourself for the first time in a long time.





2010 Financial Therapy: Start the Recovery


With the current economic state experiencing a questionable transition, many of us are left feeling like a hostage to the financial institution. However, there are things we can do to employ tactics to help gear us through, as we attempt to progress through this recovery. The biggest step in life sometimes requires us as individuals to create our path, instead of waiting and hoping for the green light. That way when and if you do get the green light, you are more than ready to go and move forward.

According to Warren Buffet (investment billionaire), his advice for achieving long-term wealth is to invest wisely over a period of time. You do not need a large sum of money to put away to receive a high return. For example, putting aside $20.00 a week for a year, yields a result of $960.00. That may not seem like a lot for some, but that is $960.00 that can be put towards savings that you would have not had, if you did not put money aside and saved. Do this for a few years and you will see your money grow. Also, adjust to living within your means. Although a billionaire, Warren Buffet still lives in a modest home that he purchased decades ago, and invests most of his money.

  2. I completely agree with you about self reflection. People never look at the situation from the other person shoes, and they began to blame others when reality is everyone plays a part in something and until you notice the part you play the situation will never be fixed, and sometimes we don't even know their is a problem and thats why its important to have God in your life.

  3. Self Reflection is hard for most. It puts you in the position of looking at yourself and the blame on you.Another thing,we all judge people to a certain degree. But if you find yourself being too judge mental. You need to self reflect,cause there some kind of pain or issue, that hasn't been resolve in your life. And your reflecting that pain on others to masks it. In order to be truly happy you have to self reflect. It's healthy! It explains why we have so much miserable, negative people in the world. Lack of honesty to one self.It helps you have a clear conscience and perspective on life. Get to know you!!!

  4. Self reflection as difficult as it may be is well worth it. It leads to self-discovery which allows for you to become the best you. Often times in life we are so quick to point the fingers at others, that we do not take accountability for our actions, therefore creating a cycle of misguided patterns of behaviors. This is where self reflection comes in, learning when to take accountability without compromising oneself. Let God be your guidance and you will flourish.

  5. Powerful words, the hardest part for me is walking with God, the paths so straight and narrow and often so burdensome, I wonder is there a way to self-actualize without the focus being on God helping you?
