Being "Centered"


Living a good life is a matter of being "centered", i.e. self-confident, goal-oriented, well balanced. Difficult to achieve? What do these adjectives actually mean? The first one indicates confidence in one's powers and abilities. Do you believe in yourself and in what you are capable of doing? To explain goal-orientation, this statement might help: "Achievement doesn't usually happen by accident, and it's not the result of luck. Instead, it's the culmination of planning and hard work". How well do you plan? Do you actually have a plan to improve yourself and your life? And finally..."well balanced". Synonyms could be "mentally stable", "sensible" and "sound". Do you see yourself as such? Self-examination on these points might provide useful guidelines.
