allegiance, trust, fidelity, faithfulness                                                         treason, corruption, infidelity, unfaithfulness      

 AWAKE TO THE GENUINE VALUE: 

Loyalty makes o perfect sense to you. It is difficult to imagine how anything would work well without loyalty. You have allegiance to your values, to your family and friends, country and faith. You are faithful to the highest and best. You are true to yourself. You are faithful, even in difficult times. People can count on you being there and standing strong. Therefore people place a great deal of trust in you.

 PARTIALLY ASLEEP TO THE GENUINE VALUE: 

You can be considered wishy washy, that is, sometimes strong and sometimes not standing strong. This is true in all areas of your life. You cannot dtotally be trusted, because people do not know which side of you is present. You may be less reliable in certain situations than others.

LIVING IN THE IMPOSTOR VALUE:

Loyalty is rarely a consideration for you. It’s more, every person for him/herself. You may have treasonous thoughts and even actions. You can be easily corrupted by a wide range of temptations or so-called opportunites, no matter how shady. You are mostly faithful only to your ego desires. Whatever goes to get you what you want is fine with you.

What to do:

DECISION

Choose. Which do you want for yourself and your world? Which way would you like life to be?

FOCUSING YOUR MIND

Going for the target you have chosen

To shift in the direction of loyalty, select some or all of the following and copy them in order to have them with you. Live with them. Think about them. Absorb them.

·       There are people and ideas important to me, and I am faithful to them.

·       It is important to me to be trustworthy.

·       I pledge allegiance to my highest values.

·       Even in difficult situatiohns, I can be counted on to be faithful and steady.

·       I understand my duty to myself and others, and I do my duty to the best of my ability.

·       I refuse to be a betrayer. I choose loyalty.

REINFORCING BEHAVIORS

Action steps to take to get off the log

•    Dread about the history of loyal people and disloyal people, say George Washington and Benedict Arnold, or Jesus Christ and Judas. Think about which you want to be like. Think about how outcomes would be different if the betrayer had won.

·     If you have ever been betrayed, remember how it felt. If you have betrayed, imagine how the other felt. Choose which you want to be from now on.

·     Make a short list of say 5 people and 5 ideals important to you. Ask yourself in what ways  can you be strong and steady, standing with them, even in difficult times?
