You do need to treat yourself like a quality product. Doing this will bring you huge success and can change your life, as other people see the care you take of yourself.
Do you think a company like Starbucks set out to create “average” coffee when they started out? They realized that to be the best in a sea of others, they needed a quality product, to be desirable.
Treating your self well physically- means exercising, improving yourself, avoiding substances that are bad for you, making sure you are well rested, and planning your nutrition.
The happiest and most successful people can be fun to watch. They do everything they possibly can to treat themselves well because they believe they deserve it.
Whatever you did in the past becomes irrelevant after a time. To continue on the road to success you need to be upgrading your skills and abilities regularly; people who plateau and then never feel the need to improve and get better, often stay in that one place or see others move past them.
I know a lot people who have the following:
- Personal trainers (to motivate them to workout hard)
- Nutritionists (to recommend diets)
- Stylists (to advise them on their clothes and makeup)
- Anti-aging doctors (to prescribe various hormones)
- Psychologists (to talk through problems with)
- Plastic surgeons (to make sure they look good as they age)
- Personal yoga instructors (to help them stretch and relax)
- Rabbi’s, priests, Indian gurus, spiritual advisers and so forth (to work on their spirit)
- Reiki therapists (for energy balancing)
- Massage therapists (for massage)
- Psychics (to advise about the future)
- Personal coaches (to help with goal setting and accountability)
- Hypnotherapists (to work on their subconscious mind)
- Feng Shui Masters (to organize their living and work environments for maximum effectiveness)
Some of this is plain self interest, some of it is getting help and teaching where improvement is important.
If you believe you have a good product, you invest in it. This is what people do who have good products. Invest some thought and time in yourself- someone out there is investing in themselves.
If someone owns a special product – they take it to the best they can. If you feel you have a good product, you get the best education you can, and you work with the best coaches and others to be the best that you can be.
By starting to quietly appreciate yourself, and taking care of you- a few right people will see that, and support you in your growth.
