Shakespeare said, “ We know what we are, but not what we may be.” Does this describe you? Do you concentrate on your limitations, your
failures, your blundering way of doing things, seldom stopping to think
of what you might be? The problem is that you have been conditioned since childhood by false
concepts, values and beliefs that have prevented you from realizing how
truly capable and unique you are.

Excerpted from his book The Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence.
Shakespeare said, “ We know what we are, but not what we may be.”
Does this describe you? Do you concentrate on your limitations, your failures, your blundering way of doing things, seldom stopping to think of what you might be?
The problem is that you have been conditioned since childhood by false concepts, values and beliefs that have prevented you from realizing how truly capable and unique you are.
By virtue of your role as co-creator of your life, you have the power to change any of its aspects.
Every great teacher has come to the same conclusion: you cannot look to someone outside yourself to solve your problems.
As the Master Teacher reminded us so often, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within.”
It is not in some distant land, and it is not up in the sky. Buddha came to the same realization when he said, “Be a lamp unto your own feet and do not seek outside yourself.”
Self-healing powers are within.
Health, happiness, abundance and peace of mind are natural states of being once you break the bonds of negative thinking.
Unless you perceive your own true worth as a person, you cannot come close to achieving total self-confidence.
Only to the degree that you can truly acknowledge your own unique importance will you be able to free yourself from self-imposed limitations.
Yes, I said self-imposed!
Our parents, our family, our boss or society didn’t do it to us.
We do it to ourselves by allowing others to control our life.
Unless you get rid of your guilt feelings and cease belittling yourself for your imagined inadequacies, you will be one of those who continue the fruitless struggle to attain total self-confidence and personal freedom.
In order to be truly free, compassionate, warm and loving, you must first begin by understanding and loving yourself.
You have been told to, “Love thy neighbor as thyself,” but until you have a full appreciation of who and what you are, it defrauds both you and your neighbor!
FULFILLING YOUR NEEDS FIRST
One of the principal requisites for change, and a self-confident personality is to satisfy your own needs first.
On the surface this may appear selfish, but let’s remind ourselves that only when we have done our best to make the most of ourselves can we be of greatest service to our families, friends, co-workers, communities, etc.
Many people use the philosophy of service to others first as an escape from taking responsibility for changing their own lives. They say that their husband or wife must come first; their boyfriend or girlfriend; their church, family or the world must come first.
This is nothing but self- deception. An example of this kind of behavior is the person who buries himself sacrificially in a commendable project with missionary zeal when, in truth, he can’t face and eliminate his own problems.
You can’t change the world, but you can change yourself.
The only way the human situation will improve is for each individual to take charge of his or her own life.
The time has come for you to stop everything else and give total priority to your needs first.
This is the only way you will ever be free.
Physical slavery is a punishable crime but, far worse, is mental slavery for the punishment is, as Descartes put it so well, “A life of quiet desperation.”
If you find yourself in a situation where you seem to be going nowhere, feel inadequate and unable to face life with enthusiasm and confidence, this book is for you.
If you are disgusted with mediocrity, disappointed by past results and not content to just drift through life, these pages offer you an alternative.
If you will allow yourself to be open and receptive to new concepts, values and beliefs, you will discover why you should and how you can systematically reorganize your thought processes to awaken THE NEW YOU.
Once you master these principles, you will have more happiness, more love, more freedom, more money and more self-confidence than you ever thought possible. Nothing is more rewarding in life than releasing your unlimited potential and leading a creative, purposeful life.
It makes no difference whom you are, what you do or what your life situation is, YOU can achieve total self-confidence.
