Sometimes when we look deep enough we find that we are busy building nothing. For example, a man can be efficient at his job, and think he's effective, maybe because sales are up. Then he sees that he doesn't like job, and isn't building future he wants. The company may love him, but his effort is producing nothing more than a pile of sticks, as far as he's concerned.

Even tape player gets to be part of this metaphor. Don't we sometimes follow our own internal "tapes," and do useless things as a result? We don't have to though. It's time to take a look at our daily routines. It's time to be an effective beaver instead of a busy beaver.

•When was I most successful?

Sit quietly in a private space and let your body relax and turn your thoughts inwards, to yourself. Look back into your past, look for all times you were successful. Look for those times when you felt really confident and well. Don’t let your “editor” distract you. Focus on those good times. The times when you were successful. Enjoy feeling. What strengths were you using at this time?

Don’t forget to write them, your strengths, on your LARGE sheet of paper.

Keep this sheet of paper and read it before you go to sleep. The last thing you do before you sleep. Read YOUR strengths.

In a short time you will find that your focus does change. You are able to live your uniqueness. You are happy and more fulfilled. You no longer qualify for membership of secret services. You are no longer Mr. Cellophane Man.

You are someone who has something to offer world.

Good Luck
