“Personal Renewal”

The process of making me better than I am now

because of who I will to be later

© Lee Wise

First Thoughts…

This blog post is for encouragement and intentionally succinct.  The topic of personal renewal fills books and occupies the hearts of many.

Call yourself an attraction marketer, a work at home mom, just a dad beginning his day who stopped by the blog, a faith based individual opening his or her copy of what is viewed as a sacred writing, a full or part-time blogger, or a marketing funnel guru who stumbled by for a leisurely albeit an unplanned visit…

Personal renewal is necessary.

View my thoughts below as prompts for your thoughts, your ideas, and your actions for today — or tomorrow.

Lee’s Reflections…

• Renewal is necessary.
• I would say that renewal is “difficult with the discipline to do so.”
• Renewal should take on the personality, goals, aspirations and intended purposes of each unique individual. In other words, it is highly personal.  I may copy someone else for my benefit because I choose to do so but copying without allowing myself to adapt and “make it mine,” holds the potential of not being so good — at least in my opinion.
• Renewal is a process.  I do great, fair, bottom out and land somewhere in between according to the times and seasons of my life.

Questions For Growth…

• Where should my thoughts on personal renewal lead me right now? Where should they lead me today?
• Where do I find myself on the “personal renewal scale” — great, a bit stuck, in the middle somewhere, or ready to take cover in a single bound for fear of low flying emotional bird droppings on my already tender head, lol!?  Wherever “where do I find myself” is, what do I believe my next steps should be?
• How have I achieved personal renewal in the past?  Any insights I should share?  Patterns I should bring back to the surface of my life?

All The Very Best To You!

May you and those you love and care for enjoy a meaningful week!

Lee

P.S.

Motivational Thoughts On Self Growth

We understand that in our personal lives, in our busineses, in our homes, or even in our our volunteer efforts, the idea of maintaining a stance of personal self growth is important.

My purpose here is not to share 10 great ideas for personal self growth that you don’t know already — although sharing 10 ideas on the subject would be a most worthwhile effort. My purpose is purely motivational.

As you have no doubt guessed, I am challenged in my own self development to keep on creating brief, meaningful writings in the self development arena of life: with a special interest in the art of creating quotes.

With that in mind, here’s a quote for your consideration today:

Self Growth

Striving to manage well who I am

for the purpose of becoming

well more of who I desire to be.

© Lee Wise

Continuing The Thought Process…

Regarding the quote above:

• What aspects come to mind when you think of “managing well” our self growth?
• Could the quote be used in a training session, posted on your blog, sent in an email or shared in any other manner that would fit your purposes?
• In my first question above, if two or three thoughts came to mind relative to “managing well” your own self growth and development, would it be good for you to respond in any way to the ideas that came to mind?
• If you were to journal your responses to the images, ideas, memories or stories that came to mind as a result of reflecting on my brief quote, what might you enter in your journal today?
• Reflecting on the idea of self growth during your younger years, what part did the concept play — or not play — and should you happen to be a parent does that say anything to you today?

As Special Thanks For Reading This Post — 50% Off

You probably realize that I have created an ebook — basically, a self-development ebook — for folks on the business side of life so-to-speak. It’s called Stay Motivated! An Inspirational Handbook For Attraction Marketers. You can click that for more information.

At any rate, if in glancing around you like what you are seeing in terms of my writing, I would like to make you a special offer. Should you visit the link and decide you may like the book, as a bonus for reading this post, I would like to offer you a 50% Discount off the price of my book. How long will this be offered? Honestly I am not sure, lol! For sure for another 10 days. Beyond that, no guarantees.

Is there a “catch” in this? Nope, just an offer. I am highly biased and feel that many people could benefit from the contents of the book and I want to “get the word out” as they say. Well, one catch I guess: just don’t send out the email and address for people who have not read my post! Get them here first!!

Just send me an email here: writeleewise(at)gmail(dot)com. No, this is not an autoresponder and it does not put you on a list! In the subject line put: “Give me the discount!” I will then return some instructions and a code to you for your use to receive the discount.

Success 102

The Negative Power Of Self-Affirmation

Returning from a recreational outing, business event, church gathering or even a volunteer effort to accomplish some common good, the person beside you says…

“That ______. Good night, he (or she) has got to be on of the most self-centered, arrogant persons I’ve ever met. Yeah, he has done a lot but he also has a long way to go in his life. I wouldn’t want to be like him: ever.”

Consider the brief quote below to be one of the many, many “versions” of business or personal success out there in the information world:

But one version definitely worth thinking about in terms of our personal growth and development.

Here ya go:

Success 102

Success Is…

Being self-centered enough

to “make it happen”

and wise enough to avoid

being overcome with myself

in the process!

Being “properly proud” in my estimation is not only appropriate, but needed. We need to affirm and utilize our strengths for the purpose of making the impact in the world we desire and contributing to the same world in which we live.

However…

Self destructive pride can be a “killer” — and not in the good way. In my personal opinion it can…

• Destroy relationships.
• Create unhealthy environments for people to work in.
• Represent a non-healthy view of one’s self if not based on a measure of truth. In other words, it can carry with it a measure of self-deception.
• Etc.

And you be the “etc.” above by completing your own mental list of the negative results of pride unchecked and/or pride undeserved demonstrated in the lives of individuals.

The point: it can be harmful and we simply need to avoid the negative consequences of indulging in the wrong type of pride.

And On The More Positive Side…

Someone would be hard pressed by the reading of my posts to come to any false conclusions regarding our need to affirm ourselves or others. In fact, I would refer you to these two posts as an example of how I feel:

• Taking Control Of Our Minds (click here).
• The Power Of Affirmation In Business And Life (click here)

With those positive thoughts in the background, you could ask:

• How have I laid aside the deceptive nature of false pride in my life?
• If I had to share three points with someone on how to become successful at life or business and yet keep pride in check, what would I tell them?
• What dangers have I seen to avoid in this area of thinking?

Quotes On Living The Good Life

by Lee Wise

Personally speaking, I gravitate in the direction of well crafted thoughts which I would characterize as…

• Brief,
• Said well,
• And meaningful.

In addition, I run toward the challenge of creating such writings with great delight!  And if you really want to know what brings even more delight to my heart, then all you would need to do would be to sense my inner response when I feel that this combination takes place in another person:

• They read what I write,
• Pause just long enough for some measure of a positive “Ah, ha” or “Yes!” moment to take place,
• And complete their response with a more definite, “Yes. That’s true.  I like that!”

Now that sequence could be called the proverbial icing on the cake for this guy!

My Hope

It would be “totally cool” should you, the reader, find yourself engaged in any level of appreciation as a result of taking in my brief original quotes on “living the good life” found below.

How To Read

Read any way you like!  However, should you find the time, may I suggest that you turn the reading of any of these brief ideas into your own personal growth time in some way?

• Journal.
• Reflect.
• Design action steps.
• Place in a calendar to review.
• Anything, in any way that helps.

A “P.S.” Of sorts…

Should you decide to share any of my inspirational quotes, please include the copyright.  Thanks much!

Hey, Lee, How About This?

Do you have a value or thought you might like to see me create a brief statement on?  Yes, I enjoy doing that type of thing.  No guarantees, of course, but you are welcome to reply and give me an idea.

An example?  Sure.

“Hey, Lee, I really would like to see what you might say about being an encourager in our speaking patterns.  I see that as so needy in today’s world.”

Honestly, this is a bit of a gamble for me, but why not?  It’s a challenge I may like to try.  All I can do is blow it, right, lol!
