The Winner's Edge

The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval. ~Denis Waitley

I took the Myers-Briggs personality evaluation test 15 years ago and found out that I was an ISTJ (Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging) type. The counselor who administered the test and evaluated the results said that I have also a very low self-esteem. Being an ISTJ means that I have a lot of potentials for professional career advancements and corporate leadership. However, having a low self-esteem, according to the counselor, could pose many potential problems. He advised me that I should take immediate actions to improve this. I did. But not without any help.

“The Psychology of Winning,” a motivational book written by Dr. Dennis Waitley was instrumental to my self-esteem development. One good thing about being forced to do little when you are sick is being able to read again old, all-time favorite books like this one. This reminds me also to share one of Dr. Waitley’s short inspirational talks:
