Seven Simple Promises

That Will Change Your

Life*

* One for each day of the week.

If you’ve been

waiting for someone

else to empower you,

you should know

that…

No one can empower you but – YOU – and once you have empowered yourself…No one can take that power away.

The Self-Empowerment

Pledge can give you that

power – but first you

need to invest in

yourself…

365

minute

s

If you knew it would

change your life for the

better – profoundly and

permanently – would

you invest …

A minute a day for the next 365

days

Would you give up one

television commercial

a day for a year to

change your life?

You

bet!If your answer

is yes, here’s

what you need

to do.

Every morning start

your day by making

that day’s promise –

which will take you

about

15 seconds.

Repeat the promise

again in in the

middle of your work

day.

Once more before you

leave for home.

I am re

sponsible,

accountable, and

determined!

And one more time

right before you go to

bed.

4 x 15 seconds = 1 minute

Repeat these promises

like you really mean

them!

Let’s take a

look at the

seven

promises…

Monday’s Promise:

Responsibility

I will take complete

responsibility for my health,

my happiness, my success, and

my life, and will not blame

others for my problems or

predicaments.

Tuesday’s Promise:

Accountability

I will not allow low self-esteem,

self-limiting beliefs, or the

negativity of others to prevent

me from achieving my authentic

goals and from becoming the

person

I am meant to be.

Wednesday’s Promise:

Determination

I will do the things I’m afraid

to do, but which I know

should be done. Sometimes

this will mean asking for help

to do that which

I cannot do by myself.

Thursday’s Promise:

Contribution

I will earn the help I need

in advance by helping other

people now, and repay the

help I receive by serving

others later.

Friday’s Promise:

Resilience

I will face rejection and failure

with courage, awareness, and

perseverance, making these

experiences the platform for

future acceptance and success.

Saturday’s Promise:

Perspective

Though I might not understand why

adversity happens, by my conscious

choice I will find strength,

compassion, and grace through my

trials.

Sunday’s Promise:

Faith

My faith and my gratitude for

all that I have been blessed

with will shine through in my

attitudes and in my actions.

Here’s WHY it works…

You keep promising yourself that you

will be responsible, accountable, and

determined; make a contribution, be

resilient in the face of adversity,

have a positive perspective,

and that your faith

will shine through.

Then you catch yourself whining

and complaining, procrastinating,

gossiping, blaming others for your

problems, taking when you should

be giving, and pretending

that you have no power.

You end up with what

psychologists call…

Cognitive Dissonance

Which is trying to

simultaneously hold two

incompatible beliefsI am responsible,

accountable, and

determined! It’s not my fault,

they did it to me,

this is so unfair.

At that point, one of two

things MUST happen.

Either you take the easy

way and stop making

the promises…

Or you keep making the

promises until you

begin to change your

attitudes and your

behaviors.

And as you do that, you

will begin to achieve

better results in every

dimension of your life.

Now ask yourself these

two questions…

Question #1:

If you personally were to take

these seven promises to

heart, would you be better off

than where you are headed

now – personally,

professionally, financially, and

spiritually?

Question #2:

If everyone where you work

made a good faith effort to live

these seven promises, would

you do a better job of serving

customers and of supporting

each other?

If your answer to these

two questions is…

And if you’re being

honest, that’s what

your answer will be.

Then why wouldn’t you

invest those 365

minutes in yourself?

Do it, because no one

can empower you

but you.

Will you do it? Will

you give up one TV

commercial a day…

To

change

your life?
