Despite investing in organising tools, such as to-do lists, task managers, and schedules to help you manage time more efficiently, the feelings of overwhelm keep growing. Another source of frustration I observe in clients who consult with me daily is communication issues in their relationship with their loved ones. When dealing with disagreements between yourself and others, it&#8217;s easy to get stuck feeling frustrated by the inability to find solutions quickly.</p>
<p>Some of you experience burnout due to long hours spent working without adequate breaks and working hard but not reaching desired results, leading to professional frustration that makes you want to give up on your chosen career. Something that a decade ago I experienced personally and saw many of my colleagues become addicted and depressed. And something that many of my clients who are doctors or high achievers have sought my help for.</p>
<p>Not knowing how to scale business growth and difficulty managing stress levels from day-to-day activities is another type of personal frustration that many entrepreneurs and leaders face regularly. For instance, clients I have helped over the years working in sales often struggle with customer service issues caused by a lack of understanding of human behaviour. Through coaching, I assisted them in creating exceptional customer experiences no matter what challenges they faced when dealing with a demanding customer. This has become an increasingly difficult task for small business owners, as they lack the resources to invest in coaching and training their employees. After a few coaching sessions, they often realise that a short-term gain approach leads to long-term pain and loss.</p>
<p>I love transformational coaching, mentoring, and training people because it is an invaluable tool for overcoming your everyday frustrations and creating the success you want in any of the eight critical areas of life. Whether helping you become more productive, increasing your self-confidence or improving relationships, I have provided expert guidance that has enabled thousands of individuals to make positive changes over the years. They used my integrated science and holistic approach to coaching and self-mastery to create the success they desire in any of these eight vital aspects of life: career and business satisfaction and growth; financial prosperity; physical health; emotional well-being; spiritual enlightenment; mental clarity; relationship harmony and creative fulfilment.</p>
<p>Investing in breakthrough coaching is about getting to know yourself better to identify what areas need improvement or change to achieve greater levels of success and happiness. With this knowledge comes the power to break free from old patterns which are holding you back from achieving your goals, enabling you instead to focus on taking action towards those desired outcomes.</p>
<p>By working closely with you as your trusted coaching partner, I will take you through a process where together we identify negative thought processes that are blocking progress towards fulfilling potentials while also uncovering hidden strengths and talents within yourself, which were previously untapped resources at your disposal but now available for use! Through his unique blend of psychology-based approaches combined with proprietary practical tools that blend NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), CBT, and Transformational Coaching Techniques, you will find yourself empowered by gaining insight into how your beliefs shape reality, thus allowing the space needed when making decisions which ultimately leads you closer towards your desired outcome!</p>
<p>The benefit of working together as your trusted coaching partner is having someone who understands cognition, mindset, emotional intelligence, healing, science, coaching, mentoring, consulting and human behaviour intimately &#8211; this means that I am well-placed to provide practical strategies explicitly tailored towards you as a unique individual and your personal needs rather than general advice applicable only on a broad scale basis as many other forms of therapy might offer!</p>
<p>In addition, working one-on-one with you allows for open dialogue between us to happen in a safe space, resulting in deeper understanding between both sides, leading to successful outcomes being achieved faster than if going it alone would have taken much longer due time needed to build the trust necessary before deep conversations could occur freely without fear judgement or criticism coming either way!</p>
<p>Lastly, another critical advantage offered here includes access to exclusive resources available I share in my books/articles containing insights gained over decades of experience dealing directly with clients facing similar issues today, meaning solutions presented often come from tried and tested methods proven to yield results quickly reliably consistently across the board regardless type issue being dealt here too!</p>
<p>How Can It Help You Create Success In The Eight Critical Areas Of Life?</p>
<p>When looking at how my unique approach to transformational personal coaching can help you create success within each critical area of life, there are several points worth mentioning here: firstly, no matter whether its career satisfaction, financial stability, physical health, emotional well-being, spiritual enlightenment, mental clarity, relationship harmony or creative fulfilment – all these things require specific skillsets knowledge base ability think outside the box and innovate new ideas to assist you to look objectively and evaluate current situation then act accordingly move forward constructively optimally efficiently possible too!!</p>
<p>Secondly, having someone experienced in coaching and mentoring to guide you along the journey makes the entire process more accessible and less daunting. The reason is to assist during tough times and offer you encouragement and support throughout good ones. Each session contributes to keeping your motivation high, staying focused and goal-directed until finally reaching your destination, set out at the beginning of our journey together!!</p>
<p>Finally, many of my clients appreciate having somebody impartial, unbiased willing to listen, empathise and share thoughts and feelings. This is an invaluable asset to anyone embarking upon creating a lasting, meaningful change, whatever aspect of life they tackle head-on. Often my clients share how my person-centred coaching helps them to keep going forward and empowers them never to give up hope and faith. Trust the inner knowing that everything falls into place with nonstop action and commitment. Eventually, coaching can help you remain focused on your personal and professional growth long enough to build a strong determination, unshakeable courage, strength, conviction and power. Thirty years of investment in my personal, professional, business, and financial coaching made me believe that any dream and aspiration is doable. I now love to assist as many of you as possible to realise your goals are achievable and that you can reach ultimate heights in your personal or professional life.</p>
<p>I invite you to invest in building your belief that the sky is not the limit but the place where you can fly higher and higher above clouds. A place where you can soar and fly away to your wildest dreams and imaginations beyond reality itself!!!</p>
<p>So if the above has inspired your soul to be more and you want to unlock the numerous benefits of working together to overcome daily frustrations, then you are ready to invest your money, time, and energy to create success in any critical areas within your life. From providing expertise-specific advice tailored around your needs to developing trust rapport swiftly, efficiently, and effectively right through accessing exclusive resources unavailable elsewhere – all these things add up and result in a powerful combination of various elements working together to create the synergy form a cohesive whole. Together we will work on bringing forth magical transformation seen, witnessed, felt, experienced, lived, breathed and simultaneously leaving behind past mistakes. So if you want boundless possibilities, you must embrace your calling for growth, seize the moment, and invest all you have in learning how to live to your fullest potential, something you can read more about in <a title="A Path to Excellence Audiobook" href="https://tonyselimi.com/product/a-path-to-excellence-audiobook/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Path to Excellence</a>, the award-winning book. Clients from all professional backgrounds used my integrated coaching approach as a great way to extend their current capacity to the maximum and grow their capability to push boundaries to reach greatness and growth.</p>

Selimi</a><p>Welcome back, fellow growth seeker and change-maker!</p>
<p>I am writing this newsletter in Northern Macedonia, where I just finished teaching my ten-day Vital Planning Life and Business Mastery client-focused coaching and training program and helping my clients dissolve many mental and emotional blockages and solve business and employee issues that were causing them headaches, sleepless nights, and lead to him feeling stressed and burnout. I also coached an army general, a private hospital owner, a celebrity singer, and aspiring entrepreneurs.</p>

<p>Furthermore, I was interviewed on five T.V. stations in Northern Macedonia and Kosova on various business, leadership, human behaviour, personal success, and relationship-related topics. It also included stories and experiences of the recent Quilly® Award I received in Hollywood for The Unfakeable Code® book, Book Excellence and the Maincrest Media Book Award for A Path to Excellence book and the Hollywood Premier of The Truth About Reading documentary that tackles the growing illiteracy crisis in the USA.</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s newsletter was inspired by the growth, success, and breakthroughs I helped my clients achieve and the gratitude comments I received from everyone I met and interviewed. It is about The Octagon of Excellence® Method I describe in more detail in <a href="https://apathtoexcellence.com/">A Path to Excellence</a> book, and how it can help you through tricky times and when you feel powerless, stuck, stressed and uninspired.</p>
<p>Before I share more, I trust my previous newsletter topic, So Busy That You Have No Time for Love, was valuable for you and your family, relationship, entrepreneurial, career, business, and financial growth and saying yes to love. For those looking for a more empowered and meaningful relationship, check out this article published by <a href="https://issuu.com/sciencetosage/docs/science_to_sage__dec_2016/18">ISSUU magazine</a> and learn why love is the destroyer and creator of life.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get your creative juices flowing by answering the following questions first:</p>
<p><strong>Are you ready to break free from your current limits and get unstuck? Do you want to be more productive, <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/theartofcreatingyourdreamlife/">create change in your life</a> and reach the goals you have worked on for a long time faster? Would focusing your mental faculties on the things that help you achieve personal excellence benefit you? </strong></p>
<p>If so, then this week&#8217;s newsletter is the guide for you!</p>
<p>One topic that has interested me since I was very young is what makes some live an average life and others willingly strive for personal excellence. My fascination with top mathematicians, physicians, and inventors such as Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, and Thomas Edison inspired me to study their lives more thoroughly. I learned that they all showed attributes of personal excellence and what it takes to leave a legacy that stands the test of time.</p>
<p>Having <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/services/business-coaching/">coached and mentored businesses</a> from all market sectors and individuals from all professional backgrounds, I realised they faced similar issues. What was happening in their heads was the root of all their challenges. After I wrote and published The Unfakeable Code® in 2021, I felt inspired to <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/book-writing-retreat-lets-do-it-in-italy/">write and recently publish A Path to Excellence book</a>.</p>
<p>The reason is I wanted to share the process I used to help myself and all of my clients achieve personal, relationship, professional, <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/from-coal-to-diamond-attain-financial-success/">financial and busienss breakthroughs and attain</a> unshakeable confidence in The Octagon Method® with a mission to help others create phenomenal growth, fulfilment, and success. It is a step-by-step system that shows you how to transform your life by transforming perceived blocks into life breakthroughs and creating new opportunities.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s based on the teachings that took me over thirty years to acquire, teach, and master. As someone who has delivered over 25,000 coaching and training hours and helped thousands of people do just that, I know those who learn the eight principles shared and apply them daily will increase their chances of <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/five-vital-steps-successful-people-use-to-help-master-your-life/">success in any of the critical areas of life</a> they want to empower.</p>
<p><strong>What is The Octagon of Excellence®?</strong></p>
<p>It is a set of principles, a tool that helps you to get unstuck and move forward. It&#8217;s an eight-step process that can help you get unstuck and move forward. The Octagon of Excellence is a way to transform your life. You can read more about the book and the eight steps <a href="https://apathtoexcellence.com/">HERE!</a></p>

<p>Each step will help you clarify what you truly want in life; it will show you how to break down each item on the list you will be creating as you answer the questions into its most essential parts, then show you how to ask yourself what you need to do or change to achieve each item on your list. The key is focusing on one part at a time until it&#8217;s done right before moving on to the next.</p>
<p>The Octagon of Excellence® is a revolutionary approach to getting unstuck and <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/achieving-business-excellence/">achieving excellence</a> as you move from one life cycle into the other. For instance, the end of a job, career, or relationship and the start of a new one. Throughout life, you will experience <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/fear-of-losing-identity/">identity crises and lose</a> a loved one. Sometimes you need to close one chapter of your life and start a new one. This robust framework can help you move forward and achieve whatever you desire as you go through various life cycles.</p>
<p>The first step to this method is understanding what each side of the octagon represents and looks like in your life. An octagon has eight cycles, transition, regeneration, focus, rebirth, balance, service, unity, and infinity, just like how you have eight areas of your life that are wise to focus on empowering simultaneously as you go through the various life cycles: Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical, Relationship, Social, Career/Business and Finances. When these eight sides and eight processes are managed effectively and mindfully, there&#8217;s no limit to what you can accomplish!</p>
<p>To help you get unstuck, it&#8217;s time to get what blocks you out of your head and here are four questions that can help you do this:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>What is the worst thing that could happen?</strong></li>
<li><strong>What am I terrified of?</strong></li>
<li><strong>What is the best possible outcome?</strong></li>
<li><strong>How can I turn this into an opportunity?</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Do write down your answers before you continue reading. What came up for you? Have you noticed how many people often respond to the question &#8220;Why?&#8221; with &#8220;That&#8217;s the way it is. Because that&#8217;s what I chose, it&#8217;s not personal; it is what it is.&#8221;</p>
<p>But when you have a problem and you don&#8217;t know why, or any other thing or situation in life where there isn&#8217;t an obvious answer right away (or even at all), you can use this technique to help yourself find your reasons for things and situations in life by asking yourself questions such as:</p>
<p><strong>Why did I do that? What was my reason? How did I feel at the time? How do I feel now? What else could I have done instead?</strong></p>
<p>You are reading this article because you want personal excellence deep down. To help you don&#8217;t his journey, here are three truths worth remembering:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>The first truth is that we are all worthy of excellence. That means you, me, the athlete across from you at practice, that guy who&#8217;s been struggling in class&#8230; Everyone has the potential to <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/achieving-business-excellence/">achieve excellence</a>. We can do it with hard work and persistence, but most importantly, with being smart and believing in ourselves and our abilities.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The second truth is that we are all capable of excellence. You may think, &#8220;Well yeah, but I&#8217;m not a natural athlete, singer, scientist, engineer, entrepreneur, CEO, etc.&#8221; Or maybe your schoolwork isn&#8217;t coming easy for some reason—you&#8217;re getting B&#8217;s instead of As or A pluses like everyone else seems to be getting. That doesn&#8217;t mean anything! Anyone can become excellent at anything if they want to and put forth the effort required for success (the same way anyone can get better at any skill if they practice enough). I never imagined going from homeless to being honoured and celebrated in Hollywood for my work that took over thirty years to bring forward.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The third truth is that we all have the potential to achieve excellence through hard work and persistence. The key here is being persistent—no matter how often something doesn&#8217;t seem right or feels uncomfortable (like failing a couple of tests, failing in busienss, a relationship, creating a fashion brand, etc.), keep working on it until finally, one day,y everything clicks into place!</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>As I was coaching my client in Northern Macedonia, I wrote this quote I created a while back on one of the white stackable whiteboard sheets I use when I coach clients:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t give up on yourself; give up the gremlins in your head.&#8221; Tony J. Selimi ( do share it) </strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to get anywhere in life, you need to believe in yourself. Don&#8217;t give up on your goals. Your goal isn&#8217;t the only thing keeping you going—your goals keep you going! Don&#8217;t give up on your dreams. You&#8217;ve got this! Nothing stops you from reaching them but yourself; if there were, we&#8217;d be too busy being happy with our <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/five-hassle-free-tips-to-stop-living-in-a-coma-and-to-wake-up-your-greatness/">lives to stop</a> and think about it.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t give up on your family (unless they&#8217;re gremlins, some of my family members are, and I learned to appreciate and love them from a distance). It can be tempting when things get tough or when everyone seems so much happier without us around—but trust me: no one is ever pleased without their family around to annoy them occasionally for their good.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t give up on your friends (unless they&#8217;re gremlins). Take it from someone who knows: sometimes the most challenging part of an argument is remembering that neither side has a monopoly over truth; both sides have valid points that deserve respect and consideration before coming to any conclusion about which side deserves more empathy than another.*</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t give up on your health (unless you are already dead, in which case you aren&#8217;t reading this). Sometimes, something gets in the way of our exercise routines or eating habits; humans are imperfect creatures, prone as we are by nature toward laziness and gluttony!</p>
<p>But that doesn&#8217;t mean we should throw in the towel entirely; rather than giving into temptation every time something comes along that makes us feel guilty or distracted from our goals&#8230;why not try asking ourselves, &#8220;Is there anything I can do right now?&#8221; instead?</p>
<p>Chances are good that there is at least one small thing within our reach right now (like walking downstairs instead of taking the elevator) which would make all those oversized things seem less daunting tomorrow morning when everyone else is off doing their best while we&#8217;re stuck lying awake again thinking about how hard.</p>
<p>Another quote I shared and used to help my client grow is this:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;To <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/achieving-business-excellence/">achieve personal excellence</a> is to master self-discipline and commit to achieving values-driven goals and a vision beyond oneself.&#8221; &#8211; Tony J. Selimi </strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go ahead and get right to it.</p>
<p>Self-discipline is a skill that can be learned, but it takes time and effort. You can start small by focusing on one thing at a time until you&#8217;ve mastered that skill. Then move on to the next task or project aligned with your values and goals. The key is to keep going; don&#8217;t give up when you feel like quitting or getting sidetracked. Investing in <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/product/clarity-coaching-consultation/">coaching and mentoring</a> can significantly increase your self-discipline.</p>
<p>You can use tools and apps to help you stay motivated and self-disciplined when working toward your big dreams (like I did use The Octagon of Excellence® Method), but ultimately, improving your self-discipline comes down to doing more of what you already do well!</p>
<p><strong>Here are Eight Simple Steps To Transform Your Life</strong></p>
<p>Now that you&#8217;ve familiarised yourself with the Octagon of Excellence Method, it&#8217;s time to put it into practice. Here are eight simple steps to get you started:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Take daily inspired action.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Appreciate the negative and the positive, and focus on the positive.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Be grateful for what you have now. (And who you are now)</strong></li>
<li><strong>Forgive yourself and others as needed.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Invest in coaching and work with a qualified coach and experienced mentor that equally challenges and supports you.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Be patient with yourself and others when they make mistakes or fail to get back on track.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Be kind to yourself and others in your life.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Have fun!</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>By following the above eight steps, you can get unstuck, heal your life and reach your goals without feeling like you&#8217;re doing anything special! Use <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/a-path-to-excellence/tony-jeton-selimi/9798765229538">The Octagon of Excellence® </a>Method to help you navigate the eight inevitable cycles of life transition, regeneration, focus, rebirth, balance, service, unity and infinity.</p>
<p>This method is based on what I have learned from ancient wisdom, the world&#8217;s best teachers, thirty years of working experience and the latest scientific discoveries, which provides you with a proven map for navigating through the ups and downs of life.</p>
<p>It offers practical tools to understand what is happening at any time in whatever life cycle you find yourself in and how to deal with it to create more freedom and order from stressful situations. By following this method step by step, as outlined in <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Path-Excellence-Blueprint-Achieving-Potential/dp/B0B8317KN8/">A Path to Excellence</a> book – which essentially involves paying attention to what is happening inside and around you – you can obtain clarity about your own lives as well as other people&#8217;s lives too and what you can do to grow into your fullest potential.</p>
<p>To conclude,</p>
<p>When you read the word &#8220;excellence,&#8221; do you immediately think of something lofty and unattainable?</p>
<p>I know I used to. But as it turns out, excellence is pretty simple. The Octagon of Excellence® Method will show you how to reach your potential in all areas of your life by following just eight simple principles:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>To break free from ambiguity, clarify what you want, why you want it, and when you want it, this will help you identify what&#8217;s necessary; </strong></li>
<li><strong>Awakening your astronomical vision requires committing to something bigger than yourself. This will help you focus on those things that will get you there; </strong></li>
<li><strong>To build resilience, it is wise to immediately confront any issues and respond mindfully and objectively. This will help you get unstuck from negative thoughts; </strong></li>
<li><strong>Making mistakes is human, correcting them awakens your excellence. Asking yourself quality questions when faced with mistakes and obstacles is a wise thing to do; </strong></li>
<li><strong>For better, more efficient and more effective results seek expert advice, coaching is a great way to help you remember that whatever happened yesterday is today&#8217;s lesson for tomorrow; </strong></li>
<li><strong>To grow on the inside and expand on the outside, collaborate. This will assist you practice self-discipline through daily connecting with others in more meaningful ways; </strong></li>
<li><strong>To unleash the power of gratitude, graciously give and accept compliments. Appreciating others promotes trust and learning from other people&#8217;s experiences by listening closely and empathempathisingothers&#8217; feelings.</strong></li>
<li><strong>8) Continuously celebrating small wins can change your physiology, strengthen your psychology, and maximise your potential. </strong></li>
</ol>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tony J. Selimi <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/how-to-break-the-illusion-of-not-being-good-enough/">How to Break the Illusion of Not Being Good Enough</a> <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/author/admin/">Tony J. Selimi</a><p>We are born whole, yet from the moment we come into this world we are constantly told by our parents, the religion in which we were born into, and the schools that we attend that we are not. We are programmed to constantly seek validation that we are good enough from external sources and create the illusion of not being good enough within ourselves.</p>
<p>The truth is, it is impossible to go through our childhood, teenage years, and adulthood without some situations or someone infecting you with the belief that you are not enough. That unless you do something that others want you to do, you are made to feel you are not worthy of love. It is precisely this feeling of unworthiness that it is the root cause of the many of the humanity’s problems such as illness, poverty, high divorce rates, rise in extremism, nationalism, phobia&#8217;s, etc.</p>
<p>This way of perceiving our reality from a place of not being good enough is extremely painful to our human experience and therefore we spend most of our lives trying to proof we are good enough.</p>
<p>The feeling of not being good enough is one of the major catalysts that changes, controls, and commands our behavior, attitude, and affects the quality of our life. It also impacts our self-esteem, self-worth, and in general our overall well-being.</p>
<p>If you are someone who is seeking a way out of your current situation and a way in into a new reality that is more favorable to you, then you may want to keep reading on. Reason being, I am going to share with you what one powerful practice you can do daily to fill the empty hole that you feel inside from within yourself.</p>
<p>In every coin there are two sides, similarly, for every negative emotion, there is the opposite positive emotion that in most cases we unconsciously do not acknowledge.</p>
<p>For instance, this feeling of not being good enough also has a positive side, it can drive us towards achieving some astronomical goal and inspire us to become legendary. For instance, my drive to proof to my parents that I am good enough helped me go from living homeless in the streets of London, to obtaining an Engineering degree at one of the UK’s prestigious university &#8211; University College London (UCL). It also drove me to climb the career ladder, become a successful entrepreneur, and internationally award-winning author of two books.</p>
<p>Having spent over twenty years doing personal, professional, and spiritual development, I know now that this is not the most optimal path to <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/the-mindset-billionaires-use-to-achieve-success/">achieving success</a>, wellness, and most importantly wholeness. Reason being, doing things in your life to disapprove the model of not being good enough comes with high cost, in worst cases it costs you your health, wealth, and most importantly your time.</p>
<p>This way of living your life is what makes you give your power away and become dependent on others to validate your worth. Daily I see many clients who come to me for a whole range of problems, from health related issues to relationship, money, business, or leadership challenges. Recently, a client of mine who is a successful CEO came to see me because he felt his children did not appreciate him for everything he was giving them. This grow into anger, frustrations, and tremendous resentments towards his wife and his kids.</p>
<p>When he would come home his expectation was for his children to behave in certain way, when they would not meet his expectations he would feel rejected, unworthy, and not good enough.</p>
<p>This is a common behavior for many people that expect to be praised, validated, and noticed. If this expectation is not met, then they go into a tantrum, some people like my CEO client felt unappreciated, not respected, and deep down rejected.</p>
<p>For most of you, it is difficult to see this underlying behavior, as in those moments when this happens, you will not literally think that you are not enough.</p>
<p>Having read over 20,000 books from various life disciplines, attended many seminars on personal, spiritual and business development as well as working with some of the world’s best experts, I concluded that the voids we try to fill do not come as a result of rational choice – but instead by conditioning and habit. And thus, many of us live our lives feeling not good enough based on limiting crules and outdated cbeliefs about pretty much everything – health, relationships, career, education, love, work, money, parenting, sex, and so much more—which we inherit and pass on from generation to generation.</p>
<p>But, what if you could find most effective ways to fill in your voids that you seek in others from within yourself? What would your reality look like if you could forget the crules, brules, chabits of the past, and redefine what wholeness means for you?</p>
<p>This is exactly what the TJS Evolutionary Method that I use in my daily coaching practice to assist people from all walks can do for you, support you in your journey to filling an invisible hole you feel inside.</p>
<p>Use the first of the <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/the-five-step-formula-for-unprecedented-success/">five step</a> TJS Evolutionary Method to consciously engineer the reality in which you experience balance, gratitude, and feeling whole.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Acknowledge the people who trigger your <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/from-emotional-rhapsody-to-perfect-health/">emotions as they are the perfect</a> teachers to address the unconscious voids that keep you seeking validation from outside of yourself.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>For instance, if you get triggered by someone criticizing your way of parenting, then find that part of yourself that loves to criticize others, this is what is normally referred too as your disowned part.</p>
<p>To do so, list all of emotions you experience in that moment you feel criticized, as they are there to help you find your voids.</p>
<p>By owning these disowned parts of yourself i.e. recognizing that you have this trait in yourself, you start to change your behavior. In doing so, instead of pointing out the finger outwardly, thank them for being the mirror to recognize your disowned traits. This modification in your behavior is what will help you step into your true power, the one that comes from experiencing the wholeness of your being.</p>
<p>There are many self-help books that mention universal laws that help you break free from the shackles of not being good enough. In my best-selling book <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/books/a-path-to-wisdom-the-alarm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Path to Wisdom</a> you can learn the rest of the <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/about/tjs-method/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TJS Evolutionary Method</a> and the other steps that you can use daily to help you address the feelings of not being good enough and equip you with the knowledge and the tools required to live in a state of wholeness.</p>
<p>For those of you who are already well ahead in your personal, professional and spiritual development you may also want to read my newly published international award-winning book <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/books/loneliness-the-virus-of-the-modern-age/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#Loneliness –The Virus of The Modern Age</a> where I share in more details the amount of crules (crap rules), cbeliefs (crap beliefs), and cbehaviours (crap behaviours) that are at the root cause of not feeling good enough, being rejected, and the cause of life adversities that can take you deep down into the wretched caves of isolation and deep loneliness.</p>
<p>Lastly, learn to dance with the angel and the devil in you that represent the many counterparts of the polar opposite of the “good” and the “bad” sides of your being, be curious about any external triggers that may put you out of equilibrium, acknowledge them, and <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/product/open-your-heart-and-awaken-your-soul/">open your heart</a> to the power of the infinite wisdom that resides in the vibration of love.</p>
<p>If you are ready to breakthrough the things that keep you in the loop of not being good enough and live a more connected, inspired and purposeful life then say yes now, book a clarity coaching consultation, and get in touch asap.</p>
<p>To your success, dreams and abundance!</p>The post <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/how-to-break-the-illusion-of-not-being-good-enough/">How to Break the Illusion of Not Being Good Enough</a> first appeared on <a href="https://tonyselimi.com">Tony J. Selimi</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tony J. Selimi <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/transform-hopelessness-to-greatness/">Transform Hopelessness to Greatness</a> <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/author/admin/">Tony J. Selimi</a><p>There comes a moment in our lives where no matter what we do, we don’t seem to see an end to our troubles. We end up feeling emotional, down, and hopeless. We lose faith in our abilities, we start to ride a never ending emotional rollercoaster, and we end up feeling vulnerable to the external stimulants that have the power to create an emotional storm.</p>
<p>When this happens, just like the many of the clients I see daily, many of you too end up closing down, withdrawing, and pushing away the people who may be there in your reality to help you grow. It is during this time that you can understand better the reasons you feel that way and get the clarity required for you to go from feeling hopeless to being inspired and stepping into your greatness.</p>
<p>It is rather strange, that it is also in such moments that we stumble across people who feel amazing, are successful, and are living inspired lives.  They radiate confidence, kindness, and have a very smart appeal that deep down within ourselves we tend to resent them for and equally find them irresistibly attractive.</p>
<p>They tend to be funny, loving, trustworthy and most of all passionate in what they do. If you make a choice you too can change the destination called hopelessness. No, this is not a blog post to tell you all about somebody who has high self-worth, self-esteem, or self-confidence so that you feel even worse about yourself.</p>
<p>This is not a post to talk about how everything in other people’s life is going perfectly and so can everything in your life. Also, this is not a post that is going to tell you that the world is actually less complicated, less difficult and less challenging than it actually is. This is a post to awaken you, to remind you that no matter what you are going through in your life, you have a voice. And you are important.</p>
<p>Whilst the world may not be perfect and you may feel hopeless at times, one important thing to remember is that you are not alone and things will get better… but you have to use your reasoning, your choice, and your voice.</p>
<p>Recently I delivered a speech at <a href="http://inspiredinlondon.com/september-7th-2015/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Inspired Stage</a> on the value of the instrument you all play-your voice. Your voice is your own. It is your own personal projection of the way you are inside. It is the voice of your opinions, of your thoughts, of your emotions.</p>
<p>It is the way in which you inform and communicate to the world about your aspirations, the struggles, the achievements, the good things and the bad things you go through. By using your voice, you are able to express yourself to the world in a way that only you can do.</p>
<p>My talk with the audience at The Inspired Stage was about the importance of using our voice by first telling the audience that I know what it is like to be a refugee, depressed, and homeless. I know the deep, dark despair found in the Syrian refugees that are being uprooted from their homes is the feeling of homeless, hopeless, and fearful.</p>
<p>Once I was a person who thought of me as kind, smart, funny and loving, I slipped into a depression, helplessness, and my self made inner prison during the times when after the civil war in former Yugoslavia broke out, I ended up homeless in the streets of London.</p>
<p>The fact that I was only 19, alone with no family, friends or roof over my head I went through very severe bullying as a refugee and someone who sought safe haven in UK from the atrocities of civil war.</p>
<p>I became very depressed and very suicidal and actually attempted suicide as back then I thought there was nothing more to lose.</p>
<p>While I was in the lowest point of my life, I also began to question myself and my identity. I began to question why I am here, how come many of my comrades died and I survived, and what is it I can do to take back the direction my life was going. I questioned everything about my life, my ability to speak, to be happy, be great and even to live a <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/activating-your-purpose-lifes-driving-force/">purposeful life</a>.</p>
<p>But I know I was rescued by the many people that fortune put on my path. It is in their kindness, compassion, and love that I found the strength to overcome the post war depression, the fears from living my life in a limbo, and from not knowing if I will ever see my family again.</p>
<p>Despite feeling hopeless, despite feeling as if I was not valuable, worthy, and despite feeling like I didn’t want to live on this planet anymore, deep down I felt a connection with something greater than I have ever experienced before. It is this inner voice that spoke up to me, it is the love that many people showered me with that became the light that started to shine my path from the darkness that had enveloped my heart.</p>
<p>I knew then I had to listen to my inner voice and the many people that God put on my path or I would end up losing the life that I was born to live. The point here is that I was not strong enough to use my voice, so the many people who fortune put on my path became my voice that slowly started to take me into hope, gratitude, and access my greatness.</p>
<p>I was strong enough to tell few of the people I had developed trusts of my suicidal thoughts, but I was not strong enough to ask for help outright. By making the choice to listen to this inner voice, I saved my life.</p>
<p>If you are someone going through feeling hopeless, acknowledge within yourself the voice that knows that no matter what you are going through, you have a voice and you are important. You too can connect to your authentic voice, listen to your cry for help that can help you prevent from potentially feeling overwhelmed, depressed, and in the worst case scenario commit suicide.</p>
<p>Thus, the importance of using your voice, have coach, or a mentor to help you through this journey is priceless. It could save your life or even the life of a friend. We have all heard it before the saying “There is a light at the end of that tunnel.” The truth is that back then, at the age of twenty, with no family, no income, and no friends my tunnel was black, and so was the many people I came across on my frequent trips to the Home Office in Croydon.</p>
<p>Remember, no matter what you are going through in your life, you are a voice, an authentic being, and you are important.  Use your voice. It is the only thing that is uniquely yours that can help you communicate the greatness that lives in every cell of your body. It could save your life. It could save the life of a friend, and it could save your relationship too. Either way, when you’re feeling helpless you need to listen to your voice and the ALARMs that your body is sending you and make sure you communicate them to someone. That is the only way anybody will ever know you need help, that you need support. It’s okay to need that, it’s not okay to not voice your need.</p>
<p>To unleash your greatness be ready to act on those emotions that can put you in the prison of your creation and do what the greatest achievers do in order to rise to be the best in world in their work and personal lives.</p>
<p>To help those who get a thrill in wanting to make the choice to go from hopelessness to greatness in their own lives, in their way of being, as well as create lives they adore I created TJS Evolutionary Method: The ALARM and TJS Meditation Solutions that you can learn this powerful tool that you can use to achieve greatness in all of the eight key areas of life: Spiritual, mental, Emotional, Physical, Business, finances, relationships and money.</p>

<p>And I know you totally get that your days (and mine) are numbered. So this day&#8217;s the right day to start living FULL ON&#8230;</p>
<p>With this outcome in mind, I spent many hours reflecting on and then writing 5 of my best ideas for living in a way that will cause you to be in your greatness and make history&#8230;</p>
<p>May these 5 insights fuel your rise. And transform your inner game&#8230;‎</p>
<p>#1. ‎Dream up a vision so brave it makes all around you roll with laughter. Or reply with ridicule.</p>
<p>#2. Care a lot more about how many people you help than how helpless you feel inside.</p>
<p>#3. Become the master of your craft. The undisputed titan of your field. And&#8211;quite simply&#8211;the best there ever was.</p>
<p>#4. Protect your pristine reputation. It&#8217;s an asset of priceless value. And each day, make your good name worth even more by doing acts of excellence, work that astonishes and gestures that inspire.</p>
<p>#5. When you feel helpless, feel the pain. And then make a choice to stand up. You were born for victory. Use failure as your fuel to propel you to your greatness.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tony J. Selimi <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/fear-of-success/">Fear of Success</a> <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/author/admin/">Tony J. Selimi</a><p>I decided to write this blog in the early hours of Monday morning after having a conversation with an old friend of mine whom I was meant to meet today but we did not as he felt ashamed to meet due to being broke and feeling uncomforteable to speak his truth.</p>
<p>Before I go into the details on how fear of success can show up and impact your life, let me tell you a story about this guy. This friend is someone I love and respect very much, despite all the time and efforts he has put to attend many personal development workshops, publishing a book, and starting a life coaching company he is not making any money.</p>
<p>Many entrepreneurs that I have coached, <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/product/clarity-coaching-consultation/">mentored and helped to create and develop their business</a> go through this stage where no matter how much effort they put they simply do not make money. What’s been interesting to observe with hundreds of clients is that some people manage to get out of this space of lack easily, and others get stack in this space where they find it difficult to manifest money for years until they decide to do something about it.</p>
<p>Are you also someone who no matter what you do you feel stuck?</p>
<p>The Good News!</p>
<p>You’re a not alone in this situation, what you ought to remember is that you are a doer. You’ve got the brains and the potential to move mountains. But you’ve also got this pesky habit of wanting to avoid the spotlight no matter what. In meetings, you’d rather say silent than voice out your amazing idea.</p>
<p>You fear <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/why-unleashing-the-power-of-transformational-leadership-matters/">power and leadership</a>, because you’ve seen others hurt by it. You know you could earn more money, but you’re paralyzed by self-doubt and procrastination. When you think about your past, there may be one or two incidents where your friends or family members were jealous of you and your accomplishments.</p>
<p>This fear just like any other fear doesn&#8217;t affect you all the time, but it can still do some damage when you least expect it. Watch out for it, and try to make a mental note of the scenarios in which it creeps up on you.</p>
