Most of us were taught that having a *realistic* opinion of who we are is basic to sound mental health.
But is this necessarily true? Would we do better to have self-illusions?

The assumption is that normal, well-adjusted people have realistic views of their own potentials. And we also assume that folks who haven’t managed to develop realistic self-concepts are either neurotic, or possibly somewhat insane.

But are these assumptions true? I would have to say no.
My 30+ years of helping ordinary people achieve extraordinary levels of personal excellence has proven that actually the exact opposite is true!

I’m sharing a new article by John Boe:

Are You a Bridge Builder?

By John Boe

When you get right down to it, there are really only two types of people in this world, those who build bridges and those who don’t. Are you a bridge builder? You very well may be and not even know it.

Bridge builders are team players and go out of their way to render support and encouragement to people they meet along the road of life. They truly understand the power of a well-timed kind word and the importance of sincere appreciation.

I’d like to share a new article I received yesterday by Kevin James:

Strength of will.

I thought I would like to share an interesting phenomena that I have been thinking about a lot lately.

Various different things have happened to me over the years but one particular thing that stands out in my mind shows me just how powerful willpower can be. The ability to tell yourself you are going to do something and then doing it regardless of ability or strength or skill is awesome.

Let me tell you a story.
