Start Your Transformation Now In this episode I share a story about Sam Wolf and Phillip Phillips. Sam came in 5th place on American Idol, and Phillip came in 1st. They both have an extraordinary voice. One won the show, the other did not. How come? Of course there are many reasons, but one of the main reasons is how they saw themselves inside…Their self image. This demonstrates a point that I’ll be talking about on a future episode and that point is this: It’s not a matter of living up to your potential, like our parents drill in our heads. It’s a matter of living up to a higher identity for ourselves. Our lives match our internal identity, and we can never out perform our subconscious identity. You may already know that, but in this episode I talk about what you create, the value you create and how much you value your value. Notice the statement, “Valve your value.” That single concept is hugely overlooked and one that keeps a lot, if not most people, poor. The greater your value in yourself and for yourself, the greater your prosperity will be in life. For decades I did what most of us do. I did not have a high degree of value for myself, my work and my gifts. And, as a result I sold myself short and lived as a “just enougher.” What that means is I lived my life with just enough to cover all my bills and a little left over, but I was in no way getting ahead in life. Years back I realized how I was selling myself short, but it wasn’t my fault. I learned to do that. I learned to have low self esteem, self value and self worth, and as a result, I did not “value my value.” When we value our value, that can change our life. Transformational Takeaway: Like me, Sam Wolf or Mother Theresa, we get in life what we create, and what we create comes from the degree to which we value our value.
