The document discusses self-image and performance, noting that self-image is the foundation for achievements and accomplishments. It presents several core principles, including that self-talk principally maintains self-image and present thoughts determine the future, and that positive, affirming self-talk is essential for realizing one's potential. Models of motivation are referenced, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Lou Tice's model of motivation.

3. The Core Principles (IMHO)
• "Each of us is capable of so much more than we allow ourselves to recognize.
Our Potential for Happiness and Achievement is essentially boundless."
• Self Image is the foundation of our Achievements and Accomplishments
• Self Talk principally maintains our Self Image in the current status quo
• Present thoughts determine our future because we are attracted to what we visualize today
• It is possible to Self Regulate beyond our current comfort zone and achieve comfort at a higher
level of success
• All the elements of our Self Image are imprinted through vividness, strong emotion and repetition
• Positive, affirming and constructive Self Talk is essential, not optional, for the realization of our
Potential
• Intentional affirmations are deliberate controls in Self Talk; utilized to support and imprint an
accurate Self Image
• Creativity and Drive are released as we stimulate the Aspiration Appetite within ourselves; the
answer will come
• Motivation lies in "choosing to do", not in "having to do"; place trust in Mastery, Autonomy and
Purpose
• We all have blind spots, our own awareness of everything is controlled by our RAS; knowing this
we can control it.
4. • Your beliefs influence your perception-RAS
• Self Image ~ Elastic Performance
• Beliefs, habits & „Aspiration Thermostat'
• Your present thoughts determine your future
• Law of attraction
• Drive, Motivation }{ Cognitive Dissonance and MAP
• What do you say when you talk to yourself?
• Big Dreams >< Appetite unleashes Creativity
• Intentional Self Talk, writing & recording affirmations
• The Risks. Is it worth it?
• Abundance Thinking – Strategic Vision
• Putting this to work in my organization
