SAFETY ISSUE:

If you have a Safety Issue, most likely you have these ongoing fears in life:

a) Fear of change

b) Fear of trying something new which feels unfamiliar or scary

c) Fear of traveling alone to foreign cities or places

d) Fear of abandonment in relationships

e) Fear of trusting your intuition, feelings, and gut responses

f) Fear of supporting yourself later in life financially. Fear of being a "Bag Lady," "Living On the Street," or poor when old.

g) Fear of the future (in general), and feeling unsafe with possible outcomes that you imagine lay ahead for you.

HOW DID I GET MY SAFETY ISSUE:

It is important to understand that these fears all stem from early childhood. These fears are accentuated when you experience a sudden incident (like an accident, death, divorce, or unforeseen loss). Such incidences often cause anxiety, depression, fear, lethargy or emotional procrastination.

You may believe or have heard your parents say:

"The world isn't safe. Survival is difficult. Things in life don't come easy. What goes up must come down. Don't take risks. You have to be like me to be safe and get ahead. I love you, BUT don't be so physically talented, active, or experimental because I am concerned about your safety when you do these activities."

When you learn that not being safe comes from childhood, this is the first step for self-healing. If you have a SAFETY ISSUE, you will notice it in choosing responses from the AspireNow Advisor.

It is not uncommon to have a value issue in today's competitive world.

Your self-image is affected by the interactions with your parents, bosses, friends, romantic dates and partners. Value issues are normal. As you learn to appreciate the "real YOU", your value issues can actually become guidelines in choosing who is, and who is not, emotionally healthy for you.

If you have a value issue, you may relate to these feelings and situations:

a) You feel intimidated being around people who you admire.

b) Fear of being rejected by a person you love, and setting aside your needs temporarily, which becomes a way of life.

c) Fear of authority (not asking for your needs).

d) Need to please friends or strangers to win their approval or support.

e) Feeling guilty when you say "NO".

f) Shy about sharing your ideas.

g) Feeling shame or depression when others criticize your ideas or needs.

h) Feeling angry with others when they don't step in to help you when times are difficult.

i) Looking to others to define your true worth (parents, friends, partners, the media, teachers, etc.).

j) Putting your needs second in life.

k) Living in a "dream world" as a child, and still hoping this dream will come true.

When you lack value, this means you are NOT giving yourself continuous self-love. Whether consciously aware of this or not, pleasing others becomes a way of life. Lack of value directly affects our sense of empowerment - or may lead to power issues.

You may have learned that the only way to get what you want is to manipulate life and the events around you. Sometimes you win -- other times you lose. In time, you will likely ONLY win over people who also have value issues. Watch as you are left behind, ignored, or used by those who love and value themselves without any fear.

This can, in turn, make you feel unsafe in attracting monetary needs or meeting your relationships goals.

Lesson: if you don't value yourself, you can succumb to a power issue. And if you slip into a power issue, you can feel unsafe, and end up lowering your standards, thus developing safety issues.

POINT OF VALUE: Re-learn your value, so you can claim your power. Re-learn your value, so you can always feel safe in life.

HOW DID I GET VALUE ISSUES IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Most likely as a child you remember:

1. Parental emotional anger, including being told:

a. Don't speak back. Do as you are told.

b. You need to please to win in life.

c. You will never make money doing what you love.

2. Being victimized through incest as a child.

3. External emotional abuse, including:

a. Being embarrassed at a critical moment and making a decision to never stand for yourself again.

b. Feeling the need for popularity in order to enjoy success and be liked.

Remember, YOU ARE valuable. Enjoy going through the AspireNow Advisor and think VALUE with every STEP. Get ready for Level 2 (coming soon), where you will identify clearly how to break through your value issues in a fun experience.

Power issues usually stem from being a truly powerful person who has been limited over a long period of time.

If you relate to power issues, you may feel these examples relate to you and your life:

a) Feeling angry and out of control when you cannot get your needs met.

b) Seeking out powerful people who you hope will help you, but being afraid of their power simultaneously.

c) Simultaneous fear of success/failure, resulting in self-sabotage.

d) Fear of being in the same situation years from now, but not taking the steps to make a change.

e) Procrastination.

f) Staying in a relationship that is not going anywhere, and you are aware it is a dead-end deal.

g) Having a dream and not moving toward it.

h) Spending money beyond your means and ignoring the fact.

i) Any type of addiction, (alcohol, drugs, food, sleep, sex, etc.)

HOW DID YOU GET POWER ISSUES:

Most likely as a child you were very sure in your thoughts and needs.

You were likely excited, anxious or aggressive in expressing your wants and desires. If your parents supported your focused nature with love and social awareness, you are likely a powerful person who enjoys consistent success. However, if your parents questioned or suppressed your independent ways, you likely developed a power issue.

Unless an individual, such as a teacher, friend, coach, or grandparent nurtured your outgoing and intense personality, you may have been squished into a smaller you, thus creating a power issue.

Enjoy exploring the AspireNow Advisor for tips to feel more powerful with every response. Think back to when you were powerful as a child and thereafter when you gave your power away. Keep focusing on becoming powerful at every turn in life.

If you lost your power as a child, you most likely didn't feel safe to move toward your desired goals. If this lack of safety continued for a period of years, it affected value issues, further spiraling you into a state of depression, lack of motivation, and state of procrastination. Get busy remembering that you are powerful!

Know that your destiny is to be powerful, successful, happy, charismatic, and loveable, thereby attracting abundant success.

Powerful people are basically fearless people who achieve their goals with the help of other powerful individuals.

It is important to note, that whether you are hitting safety, value, or power issues, that the following applies:

It is normal to have a safety, value or power issue (or issues). Almost everybody does.

If you have an issue, it probably feels as described (above), and you are right in your feelings.

Your issue may be easy to resolve through using the AspireNow Advisor.

The end-result is what being in safety, in value, and in power feels like: being empowered to realize your aspirations. You deserve it!
