1 " claritypoint: No one can see your value unless you believe it first. "
― Kimberly Giles , Choosing Clarity
2 " I officially give myself permission to be a work in progress. I do not have to be perfect to have absolute value. I am a student in the classroom of life and I am right on track in my personal process of becoming. "
3 " wasn’t him who thought he was worthless; it was that little demon on this shoulder. The little demon was a smart one, though. It used all the horrible things that were said to him over the years against him. But he could override it. He had the power to say “Thank you for your input but I’m not going there anymore. I know my real value! "
4 " F.E.A.R. is False Evidence Appearing Real. If you step back and clean off your lens, you will see that nothing fear says is accurate. "
5 " claritypoint: You are the one responsible for your self-esteem. You are the one who must choose to value yourself accurately.- "
6 " I am an amazing, irreplaceable, infinitely valuable child of God. My value comes from that fact alone. My value is absolute. This means nothing I do, nothing anyone thinks about me, and no situation, mistake, or experience can change it. My value is not affected by what I look like, how much money I make, or what I do. My value was set by God and does not change. Mistakes I make and difficult situations I experience are just locations on my journey. "
7 " I own the responsibility for determining my own value. I do not expect anyone else to make me feel valued and important. That must come from inside me. Once I know my value is set and absolute, I can accept love and validation from others, and believe it. "
8 " claritypoint: A fear-based philosophy about life (seeing life as a testing center) can prevent you from seeing yourself and situations accurately.- A fear of failing skews your perspective and distracts you from learning and loving. "
9 " claritypoint: You can choose to see your journey as a classroom without the fear of failure. Or you can choose to live in fear and see it as a test. It’s up to you. "
10 " Author C. S. Lewis wrote a beautiful and accurate definition of humility: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself… it is thinking of yourself less.” ”It is about feeling safe so you can focus on other people. It is not about being in fear and seeing yourself as worthless! "
11 " The first step on the path to fearlessness is to embrace two critical principles of truth that are the opposites of the two core fears (the fear of failure and the fear of loss). If you practice trusting these two truths you can eliminate fear in any situation. The first is to trust that your value isn’t on the line because life is a classroom, not a test. The second is to trust that your journey is the perfect classroom journey for you; that anything you lose, you are meant to lose; and that each experience serves you no matter what happens. "
12 " claritypoint: Choose to trust these two critical truths that are the opposites of the two core fears: 1) Your value is infinite and absolute because life is a classroom. 2) Every experience is your perfect classroom journey. "
13 " You can experience this moment in fear, focused on yourself, or you can experience it in trust and love. It’s up to you. BUT (and this is a big but), if you don’t consciously choose to experience this moment in trust and love, your subconscious mind will choose for you, and it will probably choose fear, since fear is probably your autopilot. (This is a key principle so I am repeating it often on purpose.) "
14 " Remember, if you don’t consciously choose trust and love, you are unconsciously choosing fear. "
15 " claritypoint: If you don’t consciously choose trust and love in each moment, your subconscious policies will choose for you, and they usually choose fear. "
16 " Start watching out for any thoughts or feelings that are immature, angry, inaccurate, selfish, weak, scared, dramatic, or in any way based in fear. In those moments, start to practice consciously choosing love for yourself and others instead. "
17 " claritypoint: The purpose and point of this life is to learn and love – and it may be more specifically to learn to love. "
18 " minute. Even though life is difficult as times, you must understand that these challenges are not here to beat you, defeat you, or squash you like a bug. Life "
19 " And an attitude of trust and seeing your personal trials as a perfect part of your process of becoming will always serve you, especially since the only other option is fear, bitterness, and anger, and those emotions don’t serve you at all. "
20 " claritypoint: Your life is a perfect and divine process of learning and growth. You are safe in this process because the objective is for your good. Every situation in your life is there to serve you in some way. "
