Trues, they are skillful and they can write any assignment on a given subject,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but there is a right price for everything. Assignment writing companies have different authors who can write on the subject and they have very good writers. The writers are different for different subjects,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so there have to be cheap writers and there are bound to be expensive writers. Everybody is well qualified in their own subjects. So whatever topic you are going to assign they will take your work seriously if they want to continue being in the business.
Anyone who is having an assignment pending and who needs help,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], can get it from such UK assignment help services. Good assignment writing companies know very well that they can complete the assignments to the satisfaction of the customers if they provide the services in conjunction with the rubric's requirements and if they follow the writing standards of UK universities. When they satisfy customers they involuntarily turn the customers into tangible assets of the company. When they prove themselves that can provide any type of the service to the clients within shortest possible turnaround time ,they are going to create confidence. You will start believing them that they can give very good service whenever you approach them and obviously you will order from them again if needed.

If you are a student and have an urgent assignment due and you may be going through a writer's block or are too confused to start working on your assignment; don't worry, because you can order a sample assignment to clear your mind of doubts. The sample ordered will look exactly like your assignment. Of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you need to use the sample as a reference in writing your own assignment and give due credit to the writer.
Now you know you can order from professional cheap assignment experts and you can get any service from them when you are looking for business management assignment help,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
However some of these companies charge very high from their customers and this article is about guiding you through the process of ordering a sample assignment at a reasonable price. The idea is to get a good service and pay the RIGHT price. There are companies that would charge you more than 200 quids for a 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 word assignment. This could be a very costly sample for you. The best thing you can do is to avoid any companies that charge less than GBP50 per 1,000 words and also the ones that charge more than GBP100 per 1,000 words.
There are so many companies who will provide the sample assignment services,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. But those who provide assignment writing according to UK methods are proud to announce themselves as legitimate UK assignment services,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They give their advertisements on the internet and other social media platforms and invite you to buy assignments from their writing services. They do this because people know the value of education in the UK and how strict the methods followed are,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They have respect for the education system in the UK.

Modern technology and the Internet have taken this one step further. Now it is possible to meet with a counsellor online in comfort and privacy. For many people, online counselling is easier and requires less confidence than meeting with a counsellor or therapist in person. For example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], webcam counselling sessions are a lot simpler to attend because you don’t need to travel to an office, park the car or sit in a waiting room! Instant messaging provides a higher level of privacy with the benefit of a written record of the session. Similarly, email counselling allows you to write in your own time. Motivation can come and go,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so it can be helpful to write when it is at its highest.
Author's Bio:
Have you ever decided to make a major change in your life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a change that you feel totally committed to making, only to find after a few weeks, days or perhaps only hours, all your good intentions have been scuttled and you are back to where you were?
Perhaps you have made a New Years Resolution and decided to stop smoking, limit drinking or take up a new fitness routine? Maybe you took a decision to look for new job or rewrite your CV or ask a certain special person out on a date?
Many people have had, at various times, goals that they have struggled to achieve or plans that appeared to come to nothing. When I ask people what holds them back in life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they often tell me it is a lack of confidence, or shyness or not having ‘self esteem’ or something similar.
So what can you do if the changes you want to make just seem too overwhelming,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Another factor is telling others about these resolutions. This is something that counsellors and therapists can confirm often works wonders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Hearing ourselves speak about what we are doing and having an audience to our plans and dreams can be like talking them into existence. It is a very powerful strategy in making change!
Research conducted by the University of Hertfordshire shows that keeping a diary, breaking up goals into smaller steps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rewarding yourself and focusing on your success can all contribute to making plans and goals come to fruition.
But how easy is it to start sharing our plans or goals with the people in our lives,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially when confidence seems in short supply?
Counsellors and therapists are in a unique position. We expect the people who consult with us to be somewhat vulnerable, stuck or lost. So our professional responsibility to maintain confidentiality can provide just enough of a lift to confidence to encourage people to share their stories.
Confidence grows when we are encouraged to talk about what we want and supported to believe changes are possible. Online counselling is effective because no matter how much shyness or how little confidence is around,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can make a start. And that’s the beginning of change.

What is not a given,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is why the camera is friendly to some and not to others. In recording my clients, I have used the exact same lighting and exact same equipment in all situations; and, yet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I have found that some look better on camera, some look worse on camera, and some people look exactly the same.
Author's Bio:
What is fascinating about cameras and video recorders is that they show you an image of yourself with which you are not familiar and, in many cases, are not comfortable.
While the camera or camcorder can often produce a visual image that is not entirely true, what is interesting about the camcorder is that your vocal image – how you sound on the recording – is true. What you hear on your camcorder is the voice by which everyone else recognizes you.
Lighting has much to do with how the camera sees you so it is important to note that harsh light will show more of your ‘blemishes’ while soft lighting can hide a ‘multitude of sins!’ The lens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as the proximity of the lens, can also have a profound effect on your image. In many cases it is wise to avoid a wide-angle lens.
In my last 2 articles I discussed the value of video-recording yourself both in practicing your presentation and in your live performances. In doing so, however, you may discover that you are not pleased with what you see on the camera or camcorder. In this article I wanted to discuss how the camera sees you and what you can do to become more camera friendly.
[An old college friend who had viewed my voice improvement DVDs asked me if I had lost weight when he saw me in person a year later,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. No. My weight had not changed.]
It is also possible that you look better in still shots (like models) than on film or vice versa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

My advice in dealing with cameras and/or camcorders is to wear makeup, avoid white clothing – a white blouse or shirt is fine if you have a dark jacket,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], be careful with prints,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], work at improving that which you can change and accept that which you cannot change.
While admittedly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the camera does add 10 pounds, there is nothing you can do about that unfortunate situation unless you are ‘model’ thin and can afford an additional 10 pounds!
Two weeks later when I was interviewed on another TV show,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I wore a color that suited me; I concentrated on keeping my eyes open; and, I made sure the camera was at the correct angle for my face!
If you are serious about projecting the best image possible, there is certainly a lot you can improve upon with your visual image. If, on the other hand, you would like to improve your vocal image,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I suggest you research good voice training programs and discover your ‘real’ voice, a warmer, richer, resonant sound that will complement the visual image you are projecting.
The first time I was interviewed on television some years ago, I was aghast at 3 things I noticed about myself. First, I discovered I should never wear purple! Second, I saw that I had a tendency to close my eyes while speaking; and, third, my droopy left eye was more apparent at certain camera angles.

The Bengal Black Granite is one of the many types of granite that are helpful in the outdoor as well as the indoor fashioning. The quite stunning as well as real designs having no additional mash ups are the biggest point for the granites to get such a good exposure.

The products that are obtained from the granites are the Natural Stone Products and people who staunchly love being connected to the nature will opt this as one of the creations in their household ornamentation. The very reason being,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that these natural stones are long-lasting, robust, elegant looking and very sturdy. Basically there are three types of natural stones igneous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sedimentary and metamorphic. Granite is an igneous type,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where as marble is an example of sedimentary type. These granites have famed up and spiced up the market and many dealers out there are ready with their share of granites for easier sales as the market is really high this time and the hunters are hunting for distinct and good quality stones in the granite world.

They are the stones of the modern world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

Author's Bio:
Gloria Deo
But I had definitely caught the A.A. bug. I didn’t drink. I didn’t take sleeping pills. I suffered miserably from fear and insomnia. I went to A.A. meetings devotedly, called my sponsor regularly, and followed the crowd. Very important—I was made to feel wanted. I sought A.A. companionship in meetings and retreats and conferences and studies. I chased newcomers and tried to help them—even dragging alcoholics from the VA psych ward to A.A. meetings with me all over the San Francisco Area. But terror and despair still plagued me at every turn.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)
By Dick B.
See all Articles by Richard Burns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], J.D. (pen name Dick B.), See Richard Burns, J.D. (pen name Dick B.), 's Expert PageGet Updates on 12 Step ProgramsGet Updates on Richard Burns, J.D. (pen name Dick B.), Average: 0 Your rating: None Tweet
“The majority of A.A. members believe that we have found the solution to our drinking problem not through individual willpower, but through a power greater than ourselves. However, everyone defines this power as he or she wishes. Many people call it God, others think it is the A.A. group, still others don’t believe in it at all. There is room in A.A. for people of all shades of belief and nonbelief” (A Newcomer Asks. . .)
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? . . . . Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” (Romans 8:35, 37)
“A.A. is not a religious society,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since it requires no definite religious belief as a condition of membership. . . .Included in its membership are Catholics, Protestants, Jews, members of other religious bodies, agnostics, and atheists. . . . A.A. suggests that to achieve and maintain sobriety, alcoholics need to accept and depend upon another Power recognized as greater than themselves. Some alcoholics choose to consider the A.A. group itself as the power greater than themselves; for many others, this power is God—as they individually understand Him; still others rely upon entirely different concepts of a Higher Power” (44 Questions, page 19).
The result? I was buttressed with solid sobriety, the A.A. program, and the Word of God. I had a Big Book and a Bible. And my sponsor jokingly observed: Dick is armed, but not dangerous. The fear vanished. I faced and dealt with court hearings, imprisonment, financial problems, divorce problems, tax problems, and reputation problems. I was released from the VA and began A.A. life in earnest. I studied and learned A.A.’s Big Book. I studied, practiced, “took,” and learned how to take others through, the Twelve Steps. I sponsored newcomers. I served the fellowship as a speaker, chairperson, secretary, treasurer, General Service Representative, greeter, chair carrier, and floor sweeper. I went to A.A. meetings, gatherings, retreats, conferences,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], birthday parties,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dances, and campouts. It was then time to grow in my relationship, understanding, and fellowship with my Heavenly Father and change my emphasis to serving and glorifying Him. But I hadn’t fully grasped the fact.
To me, these were not simply quaint or catchy sayings. They were promises of God. And, true to His promises, God produced the results when I put the words in my mind and consistently repeated and believed them. That, I believe, is what the Bible assures us.
Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when someone in an A.A. meeting tells a person, as they did me, that people get drunk if they read the Bible, I feel disappointed that they know so little about the real Way out. When someone tells a person in A.A. or some recovery fellowship that they can’t mention or study the Bible in A.A., I feel equally disappointed that hurting souls may soon be deprived of what the early solution was. When someone says that the Bible and religious literature cannot be read because they are not “Conference-approved,” I wonder how many newcomers are being driven away from a relationship with and reliance upon God. When someone talks of some nonsense god that can be a tree, a radiator, a light bulb, or a group, I think of the clear-cut descriptive language in Psalm 115 about the impotence of false gods. And I regret that a newcomer is hearing that he can pray to a light bulb and get well. I’ve yet to see that happen.
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.”,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]; (Proverbs 29:25)
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
There were more pertinent verses. They were specifically addressed to the born again believer, and based on what Jesus Christ had come to do and make available. I learned, believed, and saw that his work and sacrifice had made me free. I had to claim that freedom. The following proclaimed:
I quit drinking for almost two years, however, when my doctor suggested I go on the Pritikin Diet to lose an inordinate amount of weight and also to eliminate liquor “for a while.” In this endeavor, I also excelled, losing some 80 pounds, swimming daily, drinking soda water, and following the Pritikin formula. Then I left my wife—cold turkey. The kids had graduated from college and made new lives, and the joy had long since left. Or so I thought.
“While some members prefer to call this Power “God,” we were told that this was purely a matter of personal interpretation; we could conceive of the Power in any terms we thought fit” (This is AA: An Introduction to the A.A. Recovery Program, page 15).
This, and the messages from other messengers in the Book of Acts, changed the lives of millions and millions of those who believed throughout the following centuries.
The path starts with a determination to stay stopped, to change, to abstain. It starts with a discipline that guarantees change for those who go to any length to bring it about. For those in deep holes, as I was, it may take time. But the way out starts by looking up from the hole – not out or down. The way out begins by believing that “with God nothing shall be impossible” when God gives the revelation. See Luke 1:37. The way out begins by recognizing that God wants children and enables people to become His children by acknowledging what Jesus Christ did to make that new birth possible. See 1 Peter 1:23. The way out—the path to deliverance and freedom—continues when a child of God sets his or her mind, thoughts, and outpouring words on what God reveals—not on what the world says. See 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. The way out—the path assuring deliverance and freedom—is followed by walking in the light of God’s Word and the revelation He chooses to give His family members. The way out is assured by obeying God, talking with Him, and staying in fellowship with Him, His son, and other believers. And that way out is just as available today as it was when Peter urged, after the miracle at Pentecost:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God (Romans 3:23-25)
“In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.” (Psalm 56:11)
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of Christ in them that are saved, and in them that perish.” (2 Corinthians 2:14)
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
I myself have never been the slightest bit concerned about the fact that many of my A.A. friends are Roman Catholics and Jews and that they talk about their faith in meetings. But I began picking up at A.A. meetings some A.A. General Service Conference-approved literature which seemed to endorse, and even encourage, unbelief—the idea that you didn’t need to believe in anything at all to get well. The following are but a few of many examples:
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.” (Psalm 103:2-4)
In no time at all, I faced the wreckage of the past—sober, but stuck as well with a relentless District Attorney, State Bar investigations, a series of ponderous tax audits and levies, divorce outcroppings, loss of my Law License, lack of means of support other than that remaining from my own earlier investments, and a terror and depression and despair that far exceeded that in my drinking period. Without booze or sleeping pills, I went sleepless for months and months. I felt like a zombie. I shook for five years. They called me “Shaky Dick.” And my mind was seemingly only a shadow of its former self—producing mostly forgetfulness, confusion, bewilderment, incessant and irrelevant chatter, and tangential talk patterns. Add to that the unpleasant fact that I was wetting my pants regularly in A.A. meetings.
I couldn’t handle any of this in the second month of my sobriety—the period just after I was discharged from the treatment program; so I checked into a VA psychiatric ward in San Francisco and there remained for two months. I wasn’t as looney as some, but twice as jittery, anxious, and talkative than most. I was diagnosed as having some form of “hypomania.” I now believe it was “fear” mania!
My experience, then, was that—by reading these and many other verses over and over and over; by putting them in my mind as frequently as possible and whenever negative claims were made over me; and by believing them—my release, my deliverance, and the peace of God came into my life. The accomplishments of God’s own son had delivered me from the wilderness, not merely of being an alcoholic (sick and sinful with excess), but from the status of a beaten-down child filled with guilt, shame, anxiety, despair, fear, bodily maladies, and a sense of hopelessness. And I know that, as one of God’s kids, I still am and can be rescued.
I was born in Stockton, California in 1925. I was the only child of two loving parents. My dad was a successful securities salesman. My mother was a concert pianist and a daily student of the Bible. My dad had quit smoking before I was born, and neither parent gave evidence of any problem with alcohol. I saw no reason to smoke, and I didn’t. I saw no reason to drink, and I did not drink until I returned from the Army at age 21.
“Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5)
But two factors dramatically changed both the circumstances and my entire life at about eight months of sobriety. These came into play while I was in the psychiatric ward in San Francisco. One of my sons kept insisting that I needed to study the Bible and get back into what I had learned about the availability of my Heavenly Father and the accomplishments of His son Jesus Christ. He sent me tapes to which I began listening. And then, almost every day, an elderly friend from our Bible fellowship kept calling me long distance and listening to me wail. Finally, he asked why I didn’t stop trying to program my life and let God guide it. He cited the story of Peter’s walking on the water. When Peter believed, said this man, he walked. When he became afraid, he sank. And it took Jesus to pull him out of the water. I quickly saw that I had a choice—to learn and believe what God had to offer, or to yield my thinking to the seeming disasters the world was offering. I chose the former. I believed. Peace came. And without a doubt, I can say that my almost instantaneous response to these events was to believe that, no matter what might lie ahead, God had the answers to life; and that I had better seek Him first.
“In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.” (Psalm 71:2)
“There is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1)
The alcoholic: The wilderness is concerns the alcoholic’s own plight—not about the nature or shortcomings of A.A., N.A., or some other anonymous fellowship. As I have told above, I had become a full-fledged drunk and sleeping pill addict by the time of my entry into A.A.. Smitten by a seemingly uncontrollable intention to drink too much regardless of the consequences. And driven by a desire to return to the mire again and again despite the known and predictable self-destructive disasters. Bill Wilson wrote: “Many do not comprehend that the alcoholic is a very sick person” (Alcoholics Anonymous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 4th ed., xiii). I was! The Bible called the sickness a sin. It clearly commanded “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess” (Ephesians 5:1. But I did just that! Later, in sobriety, I came to see what I had actually been doing. I drank. I got drunk. I produced disaster. Yet I returned to that same pattern over and over—always seeing the disasters get worse. Many have called this “lunacy.” Perhaps the Apostle Peter best described the behavior when he spoke of the proverb, “The dog is returned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” (2 Peter 2:21). But I got tired of hearing in A.A. that I was “powerless” over alcohol, even over “people, places, and things.” Such doleful “acceptance” didn’t set right with what I knew was my own need for responsibility, control, and accountability. In fact, however, the writings of Dr. Bob’s wife’s writings made plain in her journal (Anne Smith’s Journal, 1933-1939— that a stronger power than mine was needed achieve victory. And when, as a child of the one true living God, I utilized that power and did what the Bible commanded, I neither drank again, nor wanted to. There remained,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, a very real and destructive condition and illness still to be dealt with—brain damage, withdrawal, fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, despair, legal troubles, imprisonment, hospitalization, confusion, forgetfulness, sleeplessness, bewilderment. I didn’t want to drink. I just wanted it all to go away—immediately! I just wanted out. But I found for myself that God provided the power, the strength, the healing, the forgiveness, the guidance, and the rescue. I could and did face the multiple problems believing the truths in Biblical promises like these:
An answer today: I believe there is a new way out—a way out of the wretchedness of alcoholism and addiction, out of the bondage of worldly wisdom and opinion and condemnation, out of the prisons of the mind that come from depression, fear, physical illness, anxiety,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], guilt, shame, anger, and resentment. There is a new way out for people—not just for people attending Alcoholics Anonymous and 12-Step fellowships—but for those who are homeless, imprisoned, physically disabled, mentally impaired, at risk, cowering in fear and self-loathing, drinking and drugging to excess, and encountering seemingly hopeless barriers and defeat at every turn. Those people need not be herded into centers for self-centeredness where they keep confessing how sick and hurting they are. The new way out is not a way out of A.A., or 12 Step fellowships, or therapy, or meetings, or groups, or churches, or psychiatric wards. It starts with a decision to stop.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
Then came a further turning point—an event which was to change my life pursuits, my interests, and my service to the Creator and His son Jesus Christ. I had never heard anything significant about God, or Christ, or the Bible in the A.A. fellowship meetings. Yet A.A.’s own General Service Conference-approved literature contained much to suggest there was more to the picture than most knew. I had read that early AAs in Akron had called themselves a Christian fellowship (See, for example, DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], p. 118). I had read that they stressed Bible study and old fashioned prayer meetings. I had read that Christian literature was distributed to them by Dr. Bob for reading and study. And I had read that Dr. Bob always insisted that newcomers in the hospital profess a belief in God and surrender their lives to Christ. See Dick B., The Akron Genesis of Alcoholics Anonymous, 2d ed. (Kihei, HI: Paradise Research Publications, Inc. 1998—pp. 177-78, 181-86, 187, 188-215); and DR. BOB, page 144, for the specifics of what I later found.
But I still knew very very little about what they actually did, where they got their ideas, and why their program produced such a high percentage rate of successes.
Armed with this new-found fighting trim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I seemed of the belief that I deserved to renew drinking. But alcohol and drugs had taken a toll I did not recognize. They had unleashed inhibitions and restraints that had previously been solid moral standards in my life. I began engaging in unethical and irresponsible behavior with a “let them eat cake” attitude. And then I got caught. A resentful relative of a client called the newspapers and the State Bar. My name appeared repeatedly in the news, along with my picture. I became severely depressed; my clients vanished; and I drank with a vengeance I hadn’t imagined possible. Nothing changed. In fact, everything seemed to get increasingly worse and unbearable—the depression, the drinking, the sleeping pills, the troubles, and the terror. Finally, I consulted a psychiatrist who recommended different sleeping pills and anti-depressants. But I couldn’t wait. I went home, poured a four ounce glass of cheap gin, and went into an entire week’s blackout—a period I can’t recall or describe even these 22 years later. And that incident, plus a return to the psychiatrist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the suggestion of my ex-wife, brought me to the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous two days sober and ready to conquer the world without booze. But nobody in A.A. had told me about detoxing, seizures, brain damaged thinking, and bodily withdrawal misery.
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4
Once informed of God’s way, suffering souls flocked to the rescue, confessed belief in God, accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, fellowshipped together, and grew through Bible study, prayer meetings, and Quiet Times. Love and service to others was the only demand made of them.
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” (Colossians 1:3)
As success in my law practice progressed, the time spent practicing law regressed. The money poured in. The drinking accelerated to an almost daily drunken state by day’s end.. I drank at service club meetings, at chamber of commerce functions, at church meetings, at social events, at the business quarters of a regular drinking buddy next door to my office, and finally alone at home in the evenings. My wife wouldn’t even leave the kitchen to join me despite appeals for her company. If someone had told me I had a problem with alcohol and prescription drugs—and they did—my response was that the problem was my wife, my sleep disorders, and occasionally the number of “minor” auto accidents which occurred when I drank “just a little too much.” Friends, colleagues, physicians, my minister, and other erring commentators—including even some bartenders—began to tell me and others that I was drinking too much. But that did not deter me at all. I had reached the point where I didn’t care what they thought.
”And God is able to make all grace abound toward you: that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:
I wondered how one could reject God in a program which spoke so much about God. Thus an A.A. author Stewart C. published an analysis stating the word “God,” with synonyms and pronouns referring to Him, can be found more than 400 times in A.A.’s Big Book. So I resolved to go to the Seattle International Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous in 1990 and try to find out what role, if any, the Bible had really played in the founding, development, program, and successes of Alcoholics Anonymous. There I met Frank Mauser, the General Service Archivist from New York. But I was able to discover little, if anything about Bible specifics. And upon my return, my older son and I had a discussion that preceded a real effort to discover the role and impact on A.A., if any there was, of God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible.
I faced prison, financial ruin, a lost reputation, unbearable physical consequences of delayed withdrawal, incredible mental incapacity, insomnia, depression, uncontrolled anxiety, loneliness, and a seemingly hopeless state of fear. I briefly wanted to take my life—in sobriety! Neither abstinence nor A.A. nor the psych ward were cutting it for me.
With encouragement from Frank Mauser, Dr. Bob’s children—Sue Smith Windows and Robert R. Smith—as well as Ray G. (archivist at Dr. Bob’s Home in Akron) and later, Bonnie and Ozzie, the managers of the Wilson House at Bill Wilson’s birthplace in Vermont—I devoted the next nineteen years to learning details about A.A.’s use of the Bible. I investigated what its early program really did, where the reliance of members on God really fit in. what proof there was of the early success rates, and what institutions, principles, practices, and Bible studies had impacted on early A.A., the Big Book and Twelve Steps, and the literature of today. I’ll let those who are interested in the answers learn the details from my thirty three published titles on the subject. See But it goes without saying that there is far more to A.A., its roots, its successes, and its early reliance on the Creator for healing and help than virtually any in present-day treatment, therapy, professional groups, 12-Step and even religious fellowships know or, in some cases, are even have a significant desire to seek.
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)
Nonetheless, I began bringing newcomers to Christ, and into our Bible fellowship. Not in any way diminishing their participation in and service to Alcoholics Anonymous. Today some of these newcomers are more than eighteen years sober, married, with family and job, and blessed with strong believing. I thanked God daily for what He had done for me. I asked God daily for His directions as to how to serve Him. I studied the Bible daily and read Bible-based literature daily. I prayed to God daily for myself and others. I affirmed the clear evidence that God could and would and did rescue me.
“. . . . Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” (Acts 2:38-39)
I had done all this without any information about, or knowledge of, the fact that my behavior much resembled what early AAs and many recovery movements before them had done. And what was that?
Within the first nine days of sobriety, however, things changed. I had three grand-mal seizures, the first at an A.A. meeting, the second in the ambulance on the way, and the third in the Emergency Room. And these, in turn, took me to a 28 day treatment program—in all cases, with no significant mention of the importance of turning to God for help. Hence I didn’t. I put abstinence and A.A. first—just as they seemed to be urging..
For me, it is about telling my story, reporting the facts about the role our Creator has played in the YMCA, Christian Endeavor, Salvation Army, Rescue Missions, the Oxford Group, and in the early Akron A.A.’s Christian Fellowship. There are other ways, of course. But the one with unquestioned success is the Way (John 14:6). With increasing fervor, I try to tell people how God’s liberation, power, and guidance worked in my life, how it worked in the lives of others, and what an appealing alternative it is to the way of idolatry, apathy, acceptance, and institutionalized meeting attendance. I point out that the abundant life and eternal life do not lie in meeting attendance. See John 3:16 and 10:10. They spring from a relationship with God and His son.
In school, I excelled. Top of my class in high school and valedictorian at my graduation. At the University of California in Berkeley, I was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in my Junior Year and was president of the Inter Fraternity Scholastic Honor Society. At Stanford University, I was elected to the board of Stanford Law Review, on the basis of grades, and became Case Editor of the Stanford Law Review in my second year on the board.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
In almost every meeting I attended there was incessant chatter about some “higher power.” One man insisted his “higher power” was Ralph. Another that “it” was a rock. Another that “it” was a chair. Another that “it” was the Big Dipper. These remarks were made regularly in meetings I attended in Marin County, California. There was also bizarre talk about “spirituality” that was foreign to my ears. Where, I thought, did such nonsense come from? To make matters worse, my own friend and sponsor began telling me that people who read the Bible got drunk His sponsor convened a meeting where he and my own sponsor “warned” me that I was getting ready to drink because I had brought my sponsees to a Bible fellowship. But there was still more to be experienced and endured.
“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:8
I married a Stanford girl, and we had two sons. Neither she nor the sons were or became alcoholics. And, after a successful ten-year career as an attorney in a San Francisco law firm, I opened my own law office in Corte Madera, California. I had suffered from sleeping problems in law school and ever since. A psychiatrist had been the first of many physicians who enabled me, step by step, to become dependent upon and to abuse high powered sedatives and such mind-altering palliatives as valium, thorazine, and quide. Worse, I began mixing them with drinks during the night; and soon I was passing out on the kitchen floor each morning with an almost unbearable body discomfort I called the “heeby jeebies”—not a shaking without, but certainly an unbelievable trembling within. None of this had the slightest impact in deterring my continued excessive drinking.
I continue to find it a joy and a privilege to introduce myself to a newcomer, wherever he or she may be. Then to ask if that person would like to become a child of God. I invite the new person to invoke the simple process of confessing with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in his heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. See Romans 10:9. And I’m seldom turned down. Then, with them, as it did with me, the healing and growth can begin. Freedom is certain to follow for those who walk in fellowship with our Heavenly Father. It did for me. That’s my story.
When sober and instructed, the choice is mine. And I try to tell others that, through becoming a child of God and learning the truth about Him and His will and walking in fellowship, they too can be delivered from much much more than a drinking problem, and from their drinking problem too. That is my testimony.
I began fellowshipping with like-minded believers—many of whom had been completely cured of alcoholism and addiction without even hearing of Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous though they had previously been crippled with addiction and alcoholism. But I stuck to them, to A.A., and to helping others in A.A. I still do.
I didn’t have a problem with the diversity and varieties of believers and unbelievers I met in the rooms of A.A. But I had a big problem with the ever-increasing vocalizing by a few “bleeding deacons” (as some call them) who said that you could not mention the Bible or God in a meeting; that the Bible and other religious literature were not “Conference-approved” and therefore could not be brought to a meeting; or that it was a violation of the Twelve Traditions of A.A. to share your own experience about how you established your relationship with God. And, the “official” “General Service Conference-approved literature quoted above, plus the vociferous and irrepressible outbursts of some at meetings, seemed to me to be at great variance with the program I entered, the program I had learned from the Big Book, and the encouragement I had received from A.A. members and meetings when I needed it most—even when I talked much about looking to God for help in my life.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
The foregoing statements were not consistent with A.A.’s Big Book text as I read it. A.A.’s steps said it was about “coming to believe.” See Step Two. Nor were the statements consistent with Bill Wilson’s message that the Lord had cured him of his terrible disease (Big Book, page 191). Nor with Dr. Bob’s statement that he felt sorry for the atheist or agnostic because “Your Heavenly Father will never let you down” (Big Book, page 181). Nor with Dr. Bob’s insistence that a newcomer profess a belief in God before they were released from Akron City Hospital (DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers, page 144). Granted, such statements are not today considered mandatory, any more than opening the parachute is when you jump out of an airplane. But they represented to me the wisdom of the winners—our founders.
Today I believe there is A New Way Out of a wilderness. A New Way Out for children of the living Creator who are awash and adrift in the sea of change that has occurred in the recovery scene. What wilderness? It is a wilderness of self-made religion, absurd names for a deity, outright idolatrous thinking, and amateur psychological introspection. Let me personalize my reply with my own experiences as here related.
Still A New Way Out Today: For centuries, believers have pointed to the way out and rescue for those who wanted help. These laboring believers have included workers in the YMCA, Christian Endeavor Society, Salvation Army, Gospel Rescue Missions, and revivals. Even the Oxford Group with which Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob were briefly associated. Whatever their particular technique, their message was salvation and a new life in Christ. There was the additional stipulation that the message be carried to others. YMCA’s founder took young men off the streets of London, into his basement, brought them to Christ, and held Bible studies—rescuing them from destruction. Evangelists in and out of the YMCA followed suit. Christian Endeavor Societies formed young people’s groups in the churches themselves and taught them confession of Christ, Bible study, prayer, Quiet Hour, obedience, and the principles of love and service. Salvation Army workers dived into the slums of London and brought the wretched to Christ and into God’s Army to help others. Gospel Rescue Missions furnished food, shelter, and brotherhood, but their unswerving objective was to bring men to the altar, a decision for Christ, and a changed Christian life. So too the old-time revivals and tent meetings. And so too the Oxford Group people who were focused on changing lives through surrender to God. This was the way alcoholics were helped in the early days of A.A. as well.
“Many people in A.A. talk about “God” or a “Higher Power,” but A.A. is not connected with any religion. A.A. is a spiritual program, not a religious one. Faith is a personal thing and it is not necessary to believe in God or in any form of religion to be a member of A.A. . . . Atheists, agnostics, and believers of all religions have a place in A.A.—provided they wish to stay away from the first drink.” (AA and the Gay/Lesbian Alcoholic, page 16).
Here is how I found out. I had been sober and very active in A.A. for about four years. One night, a young man named John—now dead of alcoholism—walked up to me in a Step Study meeting in San Rafael, California and asked if I knew that A.A. had come from the Bible. John was in our Bible fellowship and knew of my interest in Scripture. I responded that I had been to hundreds and hundreds of meetings and conferences and never heard such a thing. John suggested that I read the A.A. General Service Conference-approved book—DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers. It had been published in 1980 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., in New York. John said it would provide details about our Bible roots. He pointed out that the Book of James had been so popular in early A.A. that members had wanted to call their Society the James Club. I jumped at the suggestion and began reading as much A.A. historical material as I could find. There was actually relatively little. Yet, sure enough, the Bible was mentioned frequently. Also the James Club account. Also Dr. Bob’s statements that the basic ideas of A.A. had come from their study of the Bible; that the oldtimers believed the answers to their problems were in the Good Book (the name they gave to the Bible); and that the Book of James, Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, and 1 Corinthians 13 were considered absolutely essential to the program’s success. See The Co-Founders of Alcoholics Anonymous: Biographical Sketches Their Last Major Talks (NY: Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., 1972, 1975, pages 11-14, 18-20). I was later to find that most of the material in Dr. Bob’s talk was incorporated into the DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers book I had previously read.
And success there had been for sure. The A.A. basic text stated that, of those alcoholics who really tried, 50% got sober and remained that way; and 25% sobered up after some relapses. See Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th ed. (NY: Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., 2001), p xx. It said their personal stories in the book described in their own language and from their own point of view the way each individual had established his relationship with God (Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 29). And the DR. BOB and the Good Oldtimers book pointed out that records in the early Cleveland A.A. fellowship showed a 93% success rate using the same principles, as well as the Big Book, the Twelve Steps, and the Oxford Group Four Absolutes (honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love) as moral standards for testing behavior.
Wow!
The message: There is a simple message that I carry today to those willing to listen and who want my help. It is this: God wants all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). We can be saved—born again of the Spirit of God—by confessing Jesus as Lord and believing God raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 10:9; John 3:1-16). When God’s kids then seek Him out by studying His Word and communicating with Him, they can walk from darkness to light as and when they walk in fellowship with Him and His son, and keep His word (John 1:1-10; 2:1-6).
What did happen was a series of events that has left me with a continuing appreciation of the unique value of Alcoholics Anonymous to new and still suffering alcoholics. At early meetings, I had feared the opinions of those who had seen my picture in the newspapers, who might discover some of the things I had done, and who were not as crazy as I was becoming. But those items were definitely unimportant to the mass of drunks I met. At every meeting I attended, I was hugged, welcomed, given phone numbers to call, invited to join other alcoholics after the meetings, given meeting schedules for later meetings, told to “stick with the winners,” and “keep coming back” because “it works.” I used the phone numbers repeatedly, followed other recovered alcoholics around, and went to meetings without ceasing. I began to participate in A.A. service where given the opportunity. What these things did for me inspired me to go and do likewise. And I still do. I never see a newcomer at a meeting or a conference or even in a personal encounter without a focus on that person’s story and needs and a possible opportunity to help.
On weekend passes from the psych ward, I began attending my elderly friend’s Bible fellowship. I stuck with A.A., and I stuck with the Bible fellowship also. And I got well. Quickly! Nurses noticed it. Family noticed it. And even my attorney announced that I was ready to bite the bullet—facing whatever the courts, the State Bar, and the newspapers had to throw at me.

However, it's critical that you get this part handled as it's the foundation of all your success with women and dating. And if all you did was get this part handled, your success with women will skyrocket. Evidence by the fact that women complain about it a lot.

Since then,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I have become a huge proponent of EFT tapping and other energy healing techniques such as Thought Field Therapy (TFT), The Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson, and the Tapas Fleming Acupressure Technique (TAT). This is not a quick fix gimmick. These techniques are truly self help tools. Once you learn it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you do not need a practitioner unless you are stuck or you have some serious trauma.
These emotional healing techniques do require some effort and patience though. You, also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have to make a commitment and keep doing it on consistent basis. I personally have benefited tremendously from my persistence with EFT tapping. The results were gradual but I steadily became less moody and agitated. Most of all, I am less reactionary and I can hear myself think. That was the worth the price of admission alone!
When you decide to use EFT or any mind body healing modalities, the best tip on how to get the best results is to address your resistance. If you are stuck or not getting the results you expected,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], assume that you have some unconscious resistance. For instance, it can manifest itself in the form of a self sabotaging belief such as “I do not deserve to be to rich and wealthy” or “I am afraid my friends will not like me anymore because I am thin?” For those of you who understand know exactly what I am talking about. Those of you who do not get it yet will just have to experience it. And you will not know unless you start the inner healing process and give emotional healing techniques such as EFT tapping a try.
One of the first mind body healing workshops I signed up for was a meditation class,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Meditation was harder than I thought,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I just could not sit still. I could not stop my mind from wondering,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. My brain noise was like a television set where somebody with a remote control was clicking through the channels every two seconds. It was really frustrating,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Meditation is a wonderful practice but it didn't offer me any immediate relief I was seeking so I kept on looking for something else.

During my research, I stumbled upon an energy based healing method called Emotional Freedom Technique which is commonly referred to as "EFT" or "EFT tapping". EFT is a variation of Dr. Roger Callahan's Thought Field Therapy technique. Basically, the EFT procedure involves multiple taps with your fingers on specific acupressure or energy points on your body. And while you gently tap (about seven times) on each point, you repeat phrases or statements regarding your particular issue. I know, it sounds woo-woo. EFT is just one of those things you have to experience before you embrace it. And even when EFT tapping helps you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you still can not believe that it actually works!
After a couple of years of therapy, I realized that talking about my feelings did not help alleviate my anger,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], profound sadness, or lift me from my chronic depression so I stopped going. I decided to find something else. I was not sure exactly "what" it was but anything that does not require "talking" about your problems and ingesting pills was worth pursuing.
In any case, what really impressed me about the whole EFT process was the emphasis on getting to the root cause of the problem whether is it was physical or emotional. For example, if you are over weight and you are munching on food when you are stressed out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], those are only symptoms. Your weight and eating habits are just clues to follow and just tapping about them is useless and futile. You really have to become a sleuth with EFT tapping and figure out why food is your comforting friend. And, then, reveal what emotional pain you are trying to muffle with food. Bye the way, during the whole sleuthing process you are tapping on yourself. I was so intrigued with EFT at this point that I ended up taking several EFT workshops to learn more about it.

Think about your wonderful attributes and not your faults. Take an inventory of your values, skills, talents, interests and “heart”. This is the beauty you present to the world. Leave all your negative thoughts behind at home.

Enhancing My Self Esteem is an audio product that will effectively transform the very structure of an individual’s thought or belief pattern, the basic ideas and language structure that he uses to define who he thinks he is in the world. This product was designed specially to change the self-talk that a person experiences on a daily basis by changing the ideas or beliefs that the person has about himself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the very foundation or backdrop of his inner conversation. As our identity is merely language, change the language in a person’s mind and his life transforms. By listening to this product an individual has the opportunity to practice or repeat fifty positive affirmations that will empower them to alter their life. Within a conversation of Transformational Counseling, committing an affirmation to spoken word makes it so or real especially if it is done repeatedly. Listening to positive affirmations before sleep also allows the person’s mind to begin this restructuring or reprogramming process even while the individual sleeps by taking the words and language into their dream state. By consistently listening to and practicing the positive affirmations in this product the individual will have the opportunity to begin to redefine themselves, who they think they are in the world, from one that is negative to one that is positive and enhancing for their life. With the acceptance of the words and language of the positive affirmations will come an improved self-image and with it an experience of positive self esteem.
I am currently using Enhancing My Self Esteem with all the clients that I counsel at the Holistic Addiction Treatment Program in North Miami Beach,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Florida. All of the clients that I have worked with who are experiencing a drug and/or alcohol dependency problem also have very low self-esteem. My clients tend to be very depressed and unmotivated in many if not most of the various domains of their life, including and especially with their recovery. When given to my clients as homework,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], consistent use of Enhancing My Self Esteem alters how they think and improves how they feel about themselves. With an improved self-image and enhanced self-esteem my clients become more motivated in their life and especially with their recovery. If a person continues to experience low self-esteem and there is no intervention to disrupt the underlying cognitive process taking on improving their life and working the 12 Step Program will be meaningless and eventually given up completely as so many other things have been in the past. It is my belief that not altering or transforming the fundamental structure of ones self-image accounts for the great percentage of individuals who begin recovery and eventually relapse. The work that is essential to successful recovery is for the individual to be able to redefine who he thinks he is, to alter his self-image, the very foundation of his experience of self-esteem and life. Who the individual believes he is will determine what he does and how he will be in and appear to others and the world.
The key to the effective use of positive affirmation in this or any other type of intervention is consistency. The self-image and the negative thoughts about who a person thinks he is that generates his experience of poor or negative self-esteem is well established in the his belief system. In many cases the development of a negative self-image took years to create and has been reinforced through repetitive behavioral validation. Once a person creates and then believes that a self-limiting belief is true he will continually act as if it is true. This seemingly fundamental belief will appear to the person as true and as a result will continually be acted upon and thereby be reinforced through ones behavior. Much of that person’s behavior will be to continually validate who he thinks he is. Ones behavior will always be directed at supporting, reinforcing and validating what the person believes is true about him. While necessary for ones well-being and health, such a transformation of ones self-image from being basically a negative one to one that is fundamentally positive does not happen instantly. As with the development of an individual’s negative self-image,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the development of a more adequate belief about the true nature of the individual will necessitate consistent and repetitive work by the person. Basic to this process is that the individual must fully embrace his sense of complete responsibility for the development of his self-image and also for its transformation. To do otherwise will only leave the individual feeling powerless and unable to create the life that he or she truly desires and unless there is consistency and repetition such a transformation will simply not happen.
What is self-esteem? We commonly think that self-esteem is merely about how we feel about ourselves at any particular moment. While seemingly existing in degrees, we tend to believe that we have positive or negative self-esteem and that we make that determination simply by how we feel about ourselves. However, within a conversation of Transformational Counseling, our feelings or emotions do not exist alone or have an independent existence. We do not just simply feel. Rather, for every feeling or emotion that we have, either positive or negative, there is a corresponding thought that we have about ourselves that generates the experience of self-esteem. Whether positive or negative, self-esteem is merely how our organism experiences the thoughts that the individual has about himself or herself. If a person has positive thoughts about himself he will experience positive or good self-esteem. On the other hand, if the individual has negative thoughts about who he thinks he is then he will experience poor or negative self-esteem. Therefore, to truly understand what self-esteem is all about and more importantly to be able to alter it when necessary for ones wellness or healing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we must first get it that self-esteem is really about our thinking, and more specifically about the thoughts that we develop or create about ourselves. The thoughts or beliefs that we have about ourselves are crucial in that they determine or create the structure of our experience of self-esteem and the various emotions associated with it.
Given the fact that our thoughts determine our feelings or emotions and equally important that we are truly responsible for their creation, to change or transform our self-esteem, how we tend to feel about ourselves, amounts to us altering how we see or conceive of ourselves in the world in the now and this work is our responsibility alone. It is our self-image,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how we define ourselves as an individual in the world in the present, that determines our experience of self-esteem and it is this that we are truly responsible for creating and equally responsible for transforming. When we alter or transform our definition of ourselves in the present we change how we feel about ourselves and with it our experience of reality and life in general. If we do not get it that we are responsible for what we think about ourselves and that we are the real author of our self-image and self-esteem we will continue to blame something or some body, remain powerless and stuck in life. The question of how to actually go about altering or improving an individual’s self-esteem is one that has been debated for many years by professionals both in the mental health and addiction arenas.
We also tend to think of our self-esteem as being something that is shaped by the events that take place in our life, particularly those from our past. We tend to believe that who we think we are and how we feel about ourselves is merely the product, effect or caused by the experiences that we have had in the past, that we are who we are by virtue of what has happened to us as human beings. More specifically,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we tend to think that the cause in the matter of who we think we are and our self-esteem is due to circumstance, situation or others,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], people, places and things. We do not tend to think that our self-esteem is something we actually developed or created. Within the work of transformation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is not the past, circumstance, situation or others,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that determines our underlying self-image and corresponding self-esteem. We created our thoughts and with it our emotions from the meaning that we gave to the events that took place in our life, especially at an early age. As meaning making machines we give meaning to everything in our life including and most importantly to ourselves. At an early age the meaning that we give an event tends to be made out to be all about us. While events do happen it is not the events that are important but rather the meaning that we give them and especially how we made it out to be about our identity.
Self-esteem can be improved or transformed in several ways. One way to improve ones self-esteem is to do the work of transformation as outlined in my articles, Transformational Counseling and The Conversation of Transformation. To improve ones self-esteem in this manner is to become present to ones self limiting belief, that which has stopped us in life and in the process create new possibilities for oneself, a new self-image from which to begin to live life into. Another way to improve an individual’s self-esteem is through the use of positive affirmations. Given that the basis of self-esteem is the thoughts that a person has about himself, an individual with poor or negative self-esteem is believing negative thoughts or ideas about who he thinks he is. The individual may think, for example, that he is “worthless” or “not good enough” and as a result will tend to experience poor or negative self-esteem. Within the work of transformation and Transformational Counseling, the thought that is at the basis or core of our self-talk is defined as a person’s Self Limiting Belief, the fundamental or core belief about who we think we are. Unless this core thought or belief that a person has about himself is changed or transformed he will continue to experience a poor or negative self-esteem and as a result of this negative thought pattern create or generate life experiences that will match and validate what they think about themselves. Given such a cognitive and emotional situation life will continue to appear as it has in the past and ones future will merely be the probable almost certain future.
Positive self-esteem is very important for our general health and wellness as human beings. Having positive self-esteem is also important for promoting any type of healing, whether physical, emotional or spiritual. Poor or low self-esteem on the other hand can be quite detrimental to our well-being and even our very existence. Negative self-esteem can create anxiety, stress, loneliness,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], depression, problems with relationships, seriously impair academic and job performance and also can generate an increased vulnerability to drug and alcohol abuse and dependency. On the other hand, a person with positive self-esteem tends to be more motivated in taking on and creating a life that he loves, living it powerfully and in this process be authentically related to others in his community. Having positive self-esteem appears to be necessary for having a happy and healthy existence regardless of who we are or what profession we are taking on in life.
Utilizing positive affirmations can be a very powerful tool for transforming what a person thinks about himself and as a result improve the individual’s self-esteem. Consistent use of positive affirmations will transform the negative beliefs about who a person thinks he is into positive ones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will begin to alter the basis and structure of his self talk or inner voice and produce a transformation from poor self-esteem to positive self-esteem. While utilized in a various ways, working with positive affirmations will be more effective when delivered through or combined with therapeutic relaxation music. What therapeutic relaxation music does to enhance the effect of positive affirmations is to create a very relaxed audio environment for the individual to become even more open or suggestive to the language of positive affirmations. When therapeutic relaxation music is combined with binaural audio tones the audio space that is created for the delivery of positive affirmations is even more relaxing and as a result very powerful. In addition to utilizing a unique type of therapeutic relaxation music, the infusion of either theta or alpha binaural tones is crucial for the success of this type of intervention. When therapeutic relaxation music and binaural audio tones are combined in this fashion the individual will experience a very deep state of relaxation and as a result be more open to the reception and eventual acceptance of the positive affirmations.

I believe that vision and discipline are both required for an individual to be a leader. If someone only has vision without the discipline,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they are dreamers. They have big ideas with little results and tend to move from one venture to the next without ever accomplishing their potential. They give up when the work gets hard. Eventually, other people realize this and stop following them. They are bright stars that burnout in the night.
I would love the opportunity to assist with either finding your vision or being your accountability partner.
What are some characteristics of leadership? There have been several books written about them and some include passion, intelligence, responsibility, drive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], compassion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], energy, enthusiasm, charisma, the ability to communicate, etc...
If someone only has discipline without vision, then they are a dedicated employee but not a leader. They know what needs to be done and will carry out the assignments successfully. But,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they don’t have the ability to lead the team to the next level of accomplishment and growth. They can “lead” an organization but the business will hit a plateau and never go above. These individuals will also never feel comfortable in the leadership role and will actively seek someone else to take the lead.
I would like to focus on two that I believe are essential for strong leadership,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], vision and discipline. With vision leaders rally the team to move together toward a common goal. They energize the team’s efforts and keep them going during difficult times. The vision inspires and motivates, which are two of the most important responsibilities of leaders. Vision is what everyone on the team is looking for from their leaders. We are all searching for people to give us hope for a better tomorrow. By communicating their vision, leaders do that.
Do you have these two essential qualities to be a leader? What can you do to raise your level of leadership? Do you need accountability to help with discipline or someone to help you find your vision? If you find that you have a lack of discipline or your vision for what you want to create in your business is not clear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these situations can be helped.

For finding your vision,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I would recommend looking at why you started your business. What are some of the things you love about your business? If you could get up in the morning and do anything you wanted without worries or responsibilities, what would you do? Answering these questions can help you find your vision.
If you lack discipline to do the things you know you should to grow your business,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then you need accountability. This can often happen when times get tough because we feel there is nothing we can do to make things better. We feel things are out of our control. However, I have found that if we start to concentrate on what we can do and focus on doing our best there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], things start to improve. Once this begins our energy to continue increases and discipline become easier.
Author',[link widoczny dla zalogowanych];s Bio:
Discipline is required for leaders to set standards and show the way. Weak leaders talk but don’t lead by example. They aren’t willing to get into the trenches. They don’t want to take the time to talk to their employees and ask for advice. Without the discipline to show the team that they are in this with the rest of the team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the leader quickly will lose creditability. Once that is lost, there is no recovering leadership even if they stay in the position.

Herein lies the 80 20 rule. It is known as the “Pareto principle” or the law of the vital few. It states that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for many events,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Business-management consultant Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed in 1906 that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population; he developed the principle by observing that 20% of the pea pods in his garden contained 80% of the peas. Simply put, 20% of your tasks account for 80% of your results.
We were still college students and didn't have the funds to rent a car for these summers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. We spent two months at a time in Spain on a very tight budget so renting a car was out of the question. Walking up a hill with groceries in the sweltering summer heat was our cross to bear.
Author's Bio:
One of my friends, the genius that he is, suggested we use his suitcase to fit in the weekly shop. Unfortunately, we still had bags left over and there was no way we could carry the water bottles. There were five of us in the group and if we wanted enough water for the week, we needed ten water bottles. That meant carrying two each.
What other goal setting examples are you using right now? I am keen to know. Please share them below…
We were told to buy bottled water instead of drinking tap water. It is possible to drink it but many tourists are unaccustomed to the taste or constitution of Spanish water. It is best to play it safe and drink bottled water we were told. So when we did our first shop, we seriously underestimated the size of the bottled water we needed to purchase. We needed to buy large carboys,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like the ones that are used for water coolers in work offices. We had a problem. There was no way we could carry the water bottles and do the weekly shop at the same time. We tried and we failed.
When we got back to the villa we celebrated like we just won the Olympics. It was sheer euphoria. We then had a sit down and discussed how we would go about the weekly shop from here on in. We had to make a choice at the end of each week – do the grocery shop first or start with the bottles of water. The choice was easy - Do the Big, Shoulder-Drooping Stuff First. So every morning at the end of the week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we would go to the supermarket and carry those water bottles up that hill under the glare of the Spanish sun.
One of the best goal setting examples I have been given in my seminar experiences is to do the hard jobs first because the easy jobs will take care of themselves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. This sounds so simple right? Sometimes what’s easy to do is easy not to do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
A couple of years ago, my friends and I spent our summers in Spain throughout our college years. We rented a villa that was close to the beach and football pitches but it was a big trek to the local super market. When we eventually found the super market, we discovered that we had to walk down a gigantic hill to get there. That was the easy part. We immediately knew that once we had our grocery shopping we would have to carry it all the way up the hill.
We didn't like the idea of doing two separate shops or carrying the water bottles, so we put off buying the big water bottles and opted for buying smaller 30ml bottles instead. We grabbed five or six each at a time. It was too easy. The only problem was that we didn't forecast running out of water when we needed it most, after football on a really hot day. We then had to spend more money on smaller bottles compared with the big ones.
Tony Robbins says that people always get their “musts” in life but they rarely get their “shoulds”. We need to learn to turn should into musts. We had the attitude of “we should carry the water bottles up the hill” and so it never happened. When we flipped it over into a must,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we got it every time which freed up the rest of our day. Less stress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], more success.
After doing this for a couple of weeks, it became habitual and enjoyable! We joked and laughed all the way up that hill and after it was done,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the rest of the day was a breeze.
This relates to Brian Tracy’s classic time-management book Eat That Frog, which is full of goal setting examples. It gets its title from a Mark Twain saying that, if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, you've got it behind you for the rest of the day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and nothing else looks so bad.

So after consistently putting off carrying the big water bottles, we went all the way back to the super market to purchase ten of them and trial this method to see how it worked out. Now all we had to do was bring them up the hill and walk back to the villa. The sun was shining and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was well over 30 degrees and my pale Irish skin was crying with pain. The five of us set off up the hill. This was torture. We had to hold each bottle by its plastic handle. The handles were digging into our fingers like Fantastic Mr. Fox digging a tunnel. We had to take breaks every 5 minutes to get our strength back and take a sip of water so it wasn't quite as heavy for the next lift. This was our equivalent of going to the gym. Our shoulders were dropping like flies.
The number one reason that most people fail in accomplishing a goal is due to “procrastination”. This refers to putting off or delaying or deferring an action to a later time. We do it every day. The frog mentioned in Brian’s title is a metaphor for the big tasks or the ugly tasks that we put off in our daily lives, just like the water bottles. We should eat the ugliest frog first. Brian says that usually we have ten things to do in a day. Two out of the 10 represent high priorities.

First of all, all square,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it means that a match is tied in match play competition. Match play scoring works by keeping track of holes won, rather than by totaling up strokes played. If Golfer A has won two holes more than Golfer B, then A leads B 2-up and B is said to be 2-down to A. But if Golfers A and B have won the same number of holes, they are "all square," or tied. On leader boards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all square is often abbreviated as "AS." The specific way of stating "all square" might change depending on context. A match that is "squared up" is all square. Or a match that is "square" is all square.
The second glossary will be the Conceded Putt, which is one your opponent gives you, and you don't have to hole out the ball. As soon as your opponent tells you he's conceding your putt, your putt is considered holed. If you were laying three and your putt is conceded, you mark down a "4" on your scorecard and move on. Conceded putts exist in the rules only for match play. Conceded putts are not allowed under the rules in stroke play; in stroke play, you must always putt your ball into the hole. Concede the putt and move on. If the opponent's ball is two feet from the cup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then the decision whether to concede becomes trickier. Of course, conceded putts are not required; if you want to make your opponent hole out on every green, just don't offer any concessions. Conceded putts are not something you should request; concessions are solely at the discretion of the opponent. It's entirely up to you whether your match play opponent gets to pick up his ball without holing out; it's entirely up to your opponent whether or not to concede your putt. If you concede a putt to your opponent, but he putts the ball anyway and misses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a conceded putt is deemed holed under the rules; any concession ends that golfer's play of the hole. If he putts anyway and misses it doesn't count, because his play of that hole ended with the concession.
Here comes the last one-- Four Ball and Foursome. Four Ball is a match pitting two teams of two players against each other using better-ball scoring. All four players play their own ball throughout; at the end of each hole, the low score between the two partners on each team is that team's score. For example, players A and B form one team. On the first hole, a score a 5, B scores a 6, so the team score is 5. Four Ball can be played as stroke play or match play and is one of the formats used at the Ryder Cup. Tournaments called 2-Person Best Ball are similar but not exactly the same. A Four Ball is team vs. team; a Best Ball tournament might be team vs. team or team vs. field. Foursomes is a competition format in which teams are comprised of two players each, and the players alternate hitting the same ball which is why Foursomes is also very commonly called "alternate shot”. The first player tees off, the second player hits the second shot, the first player hits the third shot, and so on until the ball is holed. Players alternate hitting tee shots so that the same player doesn't hit every drive. Foursomes can be played as stroke play or match play. As match play, Foursomes is one of the formats used in the Ryder Cup. Trying to determine before the round which are the toughest driving holes on the course being played is a hint for Foursome strategy. Factor that into the decision on who hits the tee ball on the first hole. You want your best driver to be teeing off on as many of the toughest driving holes as possible.
All the above are the come glossary of Match Play, you can have better understanding about the Match play with this passage.

"Halved" is a golf term used in match play to indicate a tie score on either an individual hole or a completed match. Two golfers are playing match play. On Hole 1 of their match,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], both players record scores of 4. A 4-4 tie. They have "halved" the hole. Similarly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if two players end their match tied, they have "halved" the match. The term "halve" can also be used a verb, as in, "Nicklaus needs to halve this hole to take the match dormie." The terms "halved" and "halve" derive from "half." If both players tie, then neither has won the hole, they have split it, or to put it another way, each earned half of the hole.
As we know, Match play is one of the main forms of competition in golf. It pits players one against another, rather than one against the field as in stroke play. Opponents compete to win individual holes, and the player who wins the most holes wins the match. Match play can be played by two individuals, one on one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that is known as Singles Match Play,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or teams of two players can square off, with Foursomes and Four ball the most common formats for team play. We should know the glossary of golf terms in the Match play before playing the game.
Next is Dormie, it's a match play term. In match play,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a match is said to reach "dormie" when one of the golfers achieves a lead that matches the number of holes remaining. When a match reaches a state of dormie,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there a couple ways the term can be applied: The match will "go dormie" or "has gone dormie"; the match has "reached dormie"; the player who leads has "taken the match dormie."Dormie is a term that is most commonly heard during team match play competitions such as the Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup and Solheim Cup. In those competitions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], players who finish 18 holes tied do not continue playing in order to break the tie. Instead, such matches are halved. In match play tournaments in which halves are used, the leading golfer is guaranteed at least a halve when the match reaches dormie,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the trailing golfer cannot win once the match goes dormie. In tournaments where playoffs are used to determine a match winner, dormie doesn't imply any such guarantees, but the term is still frequently used in those competitions by TV announcers and fans alike.
