How to Become a Star at Work by Robin Sharma

2007-07-18T13:44:00.000-07:00

The only way you will ever truly succeed in this new knowledge-based economy is to become a star at work, that is, an individual who stands far above the crowd and one who is totally unique in a world where most people are trying to be more alike. The moment you make a deep commitment to becoming a star at work and burning all your bridges to the person that you once were, your life will change in an unmistakable way. The day you decide to start acting like the person you were destined to become is the day that you begin to tap into the wellspring of human talents that will lead you to your own form of personal greatness.

These are not the simple musings of yet another professional thinker spouting hackneyed euphemisms in the hope that one day someone will take note. These are the hard, cold facts of life - and they have been so for hundreds of years. And to deny them and continue living a life of complacency is to abandon your duty to do something special with your life.

As Ashley Montagu observed: "The deepest personal defeat suffered by human beings is constituted by the difference between what one was capable of becoming and what one has in fact become."

To become a star at work and to start seizing some of the matchless opportunities that are out there in what I believe to be the most exciting time in the history of humanity, you first need to make the decision to raise the standards that you will work and live by commit to living by a benchmark far higher than anyone would have the right to expect from you. Take a good hard look at the way you spend your days and ask yourself whether your agenda reflects your priorities. If there is an incongruity between the activities you invest your energies in and the values you hope to live by, you have a problem and need to make some immediate course corrections. For example, if your goal is to have a meaningful and rewarding work experience but you devote your days spinning your wheels on mundane tasks that never advance your professional goals, you need to do refocus yourself on the things that truly count. If a rich and happy family experience is high on your list of life priorities but you have not been to your son's soccer game in a year and you cannot remember the last time you sat down to do homework with your daughter, you need to sharpen your pencil and rework your schedule. The facts never lie and the activities of your schedule will ultimately reflect the quality of your life.

The next step in becoming a star at work is to dedicate yourself to becoming "a person of action". In life there are three types of people. First are those that make things happen. Second are those that watch things happen. And third are those people who wake up one day, at then end of their lives, and ask "What Happened?" Today, make a firm decision to join the first group - the group of human beings who have decided that life is a gift and every day is a new opportunity to learn, grow and contribute.

As you go through this day, look for opportunities to bring a sense of excellence and mastery to your work. What little thing could you do over the next few hours to build relationships at work or make your clients say "Wow?" What mental attitudes could you adopt to reframe what is negative into positive and rekindle that enthusiasm that you had when you were just a kid? What simple gestures of decency could you do to show your teammates that you care and are committed to showing leadership in a world where real leaders are few and far between? As I wrote in my latest book "Who Will Cry When You Die?": "the smallest of actions is always better than the noblest intentions," and today is your chance to make a difference. "There's nothing really difficult if only you begin.

Some people contemplate a task until it looms so big it seems impossible but I just begin and it gets done somehow. There would be no coral islands if the first bug sat down and began to wonder how the job was to be done," noted John Shaw Billings.

Here are seven more things you can do over the next 10 days to become a star at work:

Take your hero to lunch. Find someone who has created the kind of professional and personal life that you want and have the courage to take them out to lunch. If there is an author you admire and she lives in your city, pick up the phone and ask for a meeting. If you just read an inspiring article about someone who had turned adversity into advantage and you know you can learn from him, send out an e-mail and open up the lines of communication. In this new knowledge economy, the person who learns the most wins. Learn from heroes.
Set "learning goals." Most wise performers on the playing field of business set career, financial and personal goals but few set specific learning goals. For this year, I have set clear objectives as to how many books I will read, how many seminars I will attend and how many personal growth retreats I will visit. I also try and set a daily learning quota of three new things every day to keep me stimulated and excited about my work as a professional speaker and leadership coach.
Become indispensable. While working at a major league legal firm after I had completed law school, I asked one of the senior partners what one had to do in order to become successful at this firm. His response has never left me and has been exceedingly helpful. "Robin," he said, "the real secret of success is to be so good at what you do that this firm will not be able to run without you. Be so good at what you do that you are the first person that we all think of when we need advice. Be so good at what you do that you become indispensable. Then your success will be assured." So my challenge to your is this: pick your best three talents - 3 core competencies that you have that truly make you special - and then commit to refining them over the coming twelve months until they set you apart from the crowd. Make a personal vow that you will become so good at your professional craft that you become indispensable to your team and to your organization as a whole. Then watch your career soar
Make time to think. It is a strange paradox of the frenzied age that we live in that we have become so busy that we do not even have time to think about the things that we are so busy about. We spend our days on projects that need to get done and in meetings that need to be attended. We spend our evenings with people we need to meet and doing activities that need to be completed. But let me ask you? When was the last time you went for a solitary walk in the woods and deeply reflected on the way you are working and living? When was the last time you took a few hours to gain some real clarity into where you want to be professional and personally five years from now? Henry David Thoreau said: "It is not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is what are you so busy with?" Carve out at least one hour every week for some serious reflection, introspection and self-examination so that you will keep learning from your weeks.
Start a reading group at work. If you want to be a leader, you must first become a reader. Knowing how to read and not doing so puts you in precisely the same position as someone who cannot read. We live in an age where ideas - not bricks and mortar - are the currency of success. One idea, well executed, can transform your team, your culture and your entire organization. One idea, read in a single book, can reshape your thinking processes, transform your character or renew your health. Here's the thing: you just don't know which book contains that one idea that will revolutionize your life. But believe me, it is out there. And it is waiting for you. Read daily and ensure those around you to do the same. The company that learns together stays together.
Look like a star. Get serious about physical mastery. Commit to being in peak shape so you increase your energy levels and enhance your stamina. Rekindle that healthy glow that comes from running or swimming or going for a brisk walk at lunch. And make the time to dress and conduct yourself in a way that conveys your commitment to excellence, not only in business but in life.
Think contribution. We all have a deep human hunger to be a part of something larger than ourselves. We all carry within us a core craving to do something important in our work lives and know that, at the end of the day, our energies have been invested in activities that have added value to the world and made a difference in people's lives. Begin to see the higher meaning of the work that you are doing and stay focused on adding value to others. As the 13th Century philosopher Rumi said: "When you are dead, seek for your resting place not in the earth but in the hearts of men."

BECOMING WHO WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN

2007-05-20T14:25:00.000-07:00

"To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are."
- Author Unknown

The best thing about growing older for me has been discovering and becoming who I've been all along. Once that truth is uncovered and we recognize the beautiful souls that have been with us since the beginning of time, we'll never go back.

There is such clarity in this awareness… to accept… love… respect and admire our unique qualities. It would be crazy now to hide this truth.

I can now speak from this truth with confidence. Yes, the words at first sounded foreign and sometimes stumbled out because I didn't recognize where they were coming from. Yet, my intuition felt right and inspired me to keep going until eventually my words were defining and strong. And with each word my confidence grows and looks more beautiful.

"If we really love ourselves, everything in our life works."
-- Louise L. Hay

In confusion

2007-05-15T12:13:00.000-07:00

"It is while trying to get everything straight in my head that I get confused."
-- Mary Virginia Micka

When I become confused, when my spirit fights with what to make, I learned how to give up my processes of thought completely. The best solution, I discovered, of the lies by asking for my heart the direction. This requires that I stop my mental chattering, while resting in silence or by doing something completely different. In peace, motionless space, I often know what is necessary, with a clearness which I never obtain to work of my spirit.

And I now know, undoubtedly, that when I am confused is not never the hour to act. I must await clearness.

"I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks."
-- Daniel Boone

Remove the filters

2007-05-01T16:11:00.000-07:00

"You got to look at things with the eye in your heart, not with the eye in your head."
-- Lame Deer, Medicine Man of the Oglala people

Whenever we're thinking, our experience is being filtered through our minds. For example, when I say to myself, "What a beautiful sunset!" I am not fully experiencing the sunset because I am involved with the words in my mind.

Explore letting go of the thoughts, the words, and connecting directly with your experiences. Tune in to the silence and the sensations in your body. Be aware of the spaciousness this brings because this is truly living in the present moment.

Being present doesn't mean that we have to abandon thinking entirely. That's not feasible, of course. But we can experiment with what it's like to stop thinking once in a while!

"Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world."
-- Hans Margolius

Awareness is the key to all change. Penetrate blocks and find your authentic self. Open to new possibilities using your imagination and intuition. Develop your basic and higher awareness.

Two Choices

2007-04-26T03:15:00.000-07:00

By : Stephen Edwards

How do we change the way we feel at any given moment? How do we generate powerful thoughts, emotions, and feelings consistently? We know what fear is and how we allow fear to negatively impact relationships, careers, and finances. We must find the courage, strength and determination, patience and persistence necessary to resolve these issues and create the life of our dreams and the life of fulfillment we truly deserve. How do we access our most resourceful thoughts and feelings, and how do we face our fear and feel our power? Well, let me tell you of such a person who's done just that. His name is Michael, a gentlemen I once worked with.

Now, Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I'd be twins!" He was a natural motivator, and if an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look at the positive side of the situation.

Seeing him consistently having this type of attitude made me curious. So one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be positive all of the time. How do you do it?" Michael replied, "Each morning, I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today: I can choose to be in a good mood, or I can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim, or I can choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining, or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all of the junk, every situation is a choice. You can choose how you react to any situation. You can choose how other people affect your mood. You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood. The bottom line is, it's your choice how to live your life." I reflected on what Michael said.

Soon after this, I left that company and started my own business – I made a choice about my life instead of just reacting to it. We lost touch, but I often thought about Michael and his advice. It helped me at several critical junctures of my life.

Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery, and weeks in intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident, and I asked him how he was. He replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins! Do you want to see my scars?"

I declined to look at his wounds, but I did ask him what was going through his mind when the accident took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then as I lay on the ground, I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live."

"Were you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "The paramedics were great; they kept telling me everything was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes I read, 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well there was this big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael.

Today is the Day to Turn Your Life Around!
Every day is the day that turns somebody's life around forever. Is TODAY that day for YOU? By the end of this note, you'll know the answer.

Think about the successes you've experienced so far in life, and I'll bet you can point to a particular moment in time when each one began, just like the heroine of this brief but powerful story:

One evening, not many years ago, a young housewife realized she didn't have enough cash on hand to buy some of the groceries she needed for the rest of the week. As a stay-at-home mother and wife, she was entirely dependent upon her husband for income. So, when he arrived home from work that evening, she asked him for an extra 10 dollars.
Hearing the question, he turned to her with visible irritation. He heaved a sigh, rolled his eyes, and asked, "What for?"

Why do you want money?

2007-04-08T01:34:00.000-07:00

“Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.”
-- Henry David Thoreau

Money is nothing more than a medium of exchange. While we may want more money to get out of debt or to have more cash to play with, we want to set goals that represent more than just making money. And so we might ask, “What do I want money to do for me?”

Look to the values beneath money. What is happiness to you? What things, qualities, service, purpose do you value in life?

"If all the gold in the world were melted down into a solid cube, it would be about the size of an eight room house. If a man got possession of all that gold -- billions of dollars worth -- he could not buy a friend, character, peace of mind, clear conscience or a sense of eternity."
-- Charles F. Bunning

Paid In Full

2007-04-05T11:33:00.000-07:00

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and he handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:

For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: .50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: .25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00

Total owed: $14.75

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me: No Charge.
For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No Charge.
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: No Charge.
For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead: No Charge.
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge, Son.

When you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight up at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".

Going for guilt-free play

2007-04-02T12:43:00.000-07:00

"There is no pleasure in having nothing to do. The fun is in having lots to do and not doing it."
-- Mary Little

When you're tempted with a promise of pleasure, does guilt promptly spoil it for you?

For many of us, the work ethic still rules supreme. It keeps our life out of balance and our health at risk. There will always be lots of work to do. We can't wait for it to go away to enjoy ourselves.

Today, we invite you to become aware of your attitude towards rest, relaxation, pleasure and fun. When you give yourself a break, do you carry guilt through it? Deep down, do you believe that you don't deserve to have a good time, that you haven't earned a holiday? If you do discover these thoughts, send them packing.

"Guilt is the source of sorrows, the avenging fiend that follows us behind with whips and stings."
-- Nicholas Rowe

Problems Can be Opportunities in Disguise

2007-03-16T13:18:00.000-07:00

By : Denis Waitley

One of the most desirable attitudes of a leader is an ability to view problems as opportunities and setbacks as temporary inconveniences. This positive attitude also welcomes change as friendly and is not upset by surprises, even negative ones. How we approach challenges and problems is a crucial aspect of our decision making process, whether in business or in our personal lives. In companies and environments in which criticism, pessimism, cynicism, and motivation by fear prevail, an attitude develops that leads to avoiding failure at all costs. The trouble with failure avoidance is that it's simultaneously avoidance of success, which depends on big risks.

Innovation and creativity are impossible when people are in fear of being penalized for failure.

Early experience often teaches that failure is to be avoided at all costs. This begins in childhood, when we encounter the first "No!!" It grows like a weed when we are criticized by our parents, other family members, our teachers, and our peers. It leads to associating ourselves with our mistakes, and to a self-image of clumsiness and awkwardness. Not wanting to be criticized or rejected, many adults also seek security rather than risk looking foolish or appearing awkward. They quietly ride with the system, not rocking the boat.

All lasting success in life is laced with problems and misfortunes which require creativity and innovation. Winners turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones.

In the 1920s, when Ernest Hemingway was working hard to perfect his craft, he lost a suitcase containing all his manuscripts. The devastated Hemingway couldn't conceive of re-doing his work. He could think only of the months he'd devoted to his arduous writing - and for nothing, he was now convinced.

But when he lamented his loss to poet Ezra Pound, Pound called it a stroke of luck. Pound assured Hemingway that when he rewrote the stories, he would forget the weak parts and only the best material would reappear. Instead of framing the event in disappointment, Pound cast it in the light of opportunity. Hemingway did rewrite the stories, and the rest, as they say, is history.

This week, concentrate on framing your challenges as "opportunities to grow" rather than "disappointments and problems."

By : Mark and Tina Shearon on marriage

Tina Shearon
Mark and I have been married for 18 years now. But a few years ago when we were introduced to Bob Proctor and the principles that he teaches, our marriage was okay. You know, it was fine, and definitely had rocky stages in it that I'm not sure that we would have survived to this point now and our relationship be at the point where it is if we had not been introduced to the principles that Bob teaches. Now, my husband will tell you absolutely without a doubt he knows we wouldn't be together today.

Even if you feel like your marriage is good, and on a good day you would say you would rate it a 10, well, believe it or not, there's such a thing as an 11, and a 12, and beyond. And that's where we've taken our relationship.

Mark Shearon
There's not a doubt in my mind I would be divorced and wouldn't be able to talk to my children on a one on one basis 'cause we can talk about anything and that's important to me, when you really can apply something that somebody can teach you to your relationships, to your family.

Now, I love my wife, as much as anything in the world. I have three children, and we're able to communicate simply because of some of the things that Bob's taught us. He's gotten me to look at things in a different way of not reacting but responding and it's just amazing with those principles and the way he's gotten me to really look at my life in a relationship manner that's really supporting me to be the person I am today.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME WEALTHY?

2007-02-24T13:08:00.000-08:00

by Loral Langemeier

Imagine never worrying about money ever again. Allow yourself to get lost in this fantasy for a moment: your bills are always paid with ease, you own several beautiful homes, your kids are attending the top colleges, and the money just keeps rolling in quicker than you can spend it.

Did you get a clear image? Or did you starting thinking things like, "It's silly to get lost in a fantasy," or "That's nice for someone else, but it won’t happen to me," or even, "Who am I to think I could have that?" Some of us can more easily visualize our dreams than others, and when it comes to being wealthy, your ability to do this is a key factor in your success.

Absolutely anyone can become a millionaire

Anyone can become a millionaire. Yes, I mean anyone, including you. I don't care how much debt you're in, or your line of work. And, not just wealthy,but a millionaire. I know because I'm a wealth coach who specializes in doing just that: making people millionaires.

If you think you can't become a millionaire, you won't. But if you want to become wealthy, you'll have to change your attitude and behavior when it comes to wealthy.

I cover the many aspects of this process in my book, The Millionaire Maker,but for now let's just focus on the mental aspect. As essential first step in becoming a millionaire is the ability to open up your mind to the very real possibility that you can have whatever it is you dream of.

What would you do differently if you knew that you couldn't fail?

Every circumstance you have in your life is the result of your thoughts,from which you base your behavior. When you believe you can succeed, you end up doing things differently.

Right now you probably have a lot of beliefs around why you can't be wealthy. A large part of my work with my clients involves reconditioning their minds so that they can clearly see the abundance and wealth possibilities that constantly surround them.

The next step on the road to millions is creating a vision of wealth. This is where you write out specific financial goals you want in your life. I usually have my clients write out what they want by the end of a year’s time, so that their goals are measurable.

Your vision of wealth may include quitting your full-time job to start a new business, lowering your debt by half, or making $500 extra a month in passive income. It’s really up to you.

When you create this vision, you need to use what I call "unlimited thinking." However, you also need to set goals that are realistic and do-able. This is where the help of a mentor or wealth coach is key. Such professionals will have a realistic sense of how far you can stretch your mind and still be able to achieve your yearly goals.

Lastly, you need to be patient. Becoming a millionaire does not happen overnight, it takes time. It also requires work and commitment. Millionaires are active creators of their futures, and they always have a plan. And although they ultimately expect to succeed, they don’t let failure (an inevitable challenge on the path to success) hold them back.

Your wealth is your choice. And the question is, would you rather dwell on what you don't have and why you can't have it, or spend your time creating what you do want?

Thinking of poverty or wealth?

2007-02-23T13:28:00.000-08:00

"Being poor is a frame of mind."
-- Mike Todd

What do you think of money?

Our beliefs create our reality. If you have struggled with money most of your adult life, chances are that something happened when you were young to create limiting beliefs around money and prosperity. Look back to your early years. What beliefs did your parents and other influential adults have about money? Chances are you’re also carrying those beliefs. Are they serving you?

“The law of abundance is that everything replicates after its own kind. Like is attracted to like. If you want more wealth, concentrate of wealth; think thoughts of abundance and wealth.”

--Delfin Knowledge System

The Power of Positive Feelings

2007-02-20T01:01:00.000-08:00

You feel powerful and strong. You feel an energy inside you that says "I
am here to do something great!" You feel yourself walk into any situation,
confident and at peace. You feel successful.

Ah, how good it feels!

Have you ever noticed that we ask each other, "How are you feeling
today?" I have never met anyone who asked me, "How are you thinking
today John?"

Why is this?

Perhaps it is because how we feel is how we live. If I feel miserable, my
life reflects that misery. If I feel confident, then I act confident and I
attract into my life that which I desire because I feel I deserve it.

In every moment, you and I feel something. And these feelings we have shape
our destiny. Notice I write "these feelings we have". Feelings do not
have us; we have feelings.

Most personal development focuses on thinking. Change your thinking and you
change your life. I agree, but thinking arises from feeling. If I am holding
tension in my body, if I feel tense, then my thinking is shaped by tension. And
I react accordingly.

That tension is the result of accumulated thoughts and feelings. And the more
thoughts that accumulate, the greater the tension (also known as stress) until
ultimately I make myself ill; both physically and mentally.

Positive thinking is a great idea, but it has limitations, does it not? Can
you tell me what your next thought will be? Not without thinking about it! And
by the time you have come up with an answer your mind has already moved on to
something else.

Plus all thoughts are found in the past. One cannot think in this moment. One
can only experience this moment and it is this moment and the succession of this
moment that make your life. Right now, plus right now, plus right now, equal
your life and the results you create.

To make a change in how you experience and what you do with "right
now" you must act on the feeling level to make true changes. And by
changing how you feel right now, you change your destiny.

We all know of this power. It is a power we are born with that becomes
discarded when we are told to stop feeling and start thinking. All limitations
exist only in our thinking, yet that is exactly what everyone is telling us to
do! Get an education and learn your limits!

If you have ever watched a young child develop, you will notice how they do
not accept "no" for an answer. Failure does not stop us until we learn
that failure means something bad. We then spend the rest of our life trying to
reprogram our mind with clichés about how failure is the foundation of success,
but do we really believe it? As children we fall, we hurt, we let the feeling go
and we take off running again. As adults we fall, we hurt, and we tell stories
about it for the rest of our life to anyone who will listen!

If you want to achieve a breakthrough in any area of your life, stop trying
to reprogram your mind and notice how you feel. When you set a goal, notice the
feelings that arise for you. Fear? Anxiety? Doubt? They are nothing more than
feelings; electro-chemical impulses.

The good news? You can learn to let these feelings go and when you do, your
potential has new life and it expands beyond the limits of thought. You feel a
new energy when you realize all that prevents you from having all that you
desire are these feelings which you have chosen to hold on to because you think,
yes you think, they serve you in some way.

No analyzing is necessary, nor programming or re-programming, nor words; just
feelings. Powerful feelings.

feeling discover the Sedona Method Course. Click

The Time to Act by Jim Rohn

2007-02-02T14:03:00.000-08:00

Engaging in genuine discipline requires that you develop the ability to take action. You don’t need to be hasty if it isn’t required, but you don’t want to lose much time either. Here’s the time to act: when the idea is hot and the emotion is strong.

Let’s say you would like to build your library. If that is a strong desire for you, what you’ve got to do is get the first book. Then get the second book. Take action as soon as possible, before the feeling passes and before the idea dims. If you don’t, here’s what happens -

- YOU FALL PREY TO THE LAW OF DIMINISHING INTENT -

We intend to take action when the idea strikes us. We intend to do something when the emotion is high. But if we don’t translate that intention into action fairly soon, the urgency starts to diminish. A month from now the passion is cold. A year from now it can’t be found.

So take action. Set up a discipline when the emotions are high and the idea is strong, clear, and powerful. If somebody talks about good health and you’re motivated by it, you need to get a book on nutrition. Get the book before the idea passes, before the emotion gets cold. Begin the process. Fall on the floor and do some push-ups. You’ve got to take action; otherwise the wisdom is wasted. The emotion soon passes unless you apply it to a disciplined activity. Discipline enables you to capture the emotion and the wisdom and translate them into action. The key is to increase your motivation by quickly setting up the disciplines. By doing so, you’ve started a whole new life process.

Here is the greatest value of discipline: self-worth, also known as self-esteem. Many people who are teaching self-esteem these days don’t connect it to discipline. But once we sense the least lack of discipline within ourselves, it starts to erode our psyche. One of the greatest temptations is to just ease up a little bit. Instead of doing your best, you allow yourself to do just a little less than your best. Sure enough, you’ve started in the slightest way to decrease your sense of self-worth.

There is a problem with even a little bit of neglect. Neglect starts as an infection. If you don’t take care of it, it becomes a disease. And one neglect leads to another. Worst of all, when neglect starts, it diminishes our self-worth.
Once this has happened, how can you regain your self-respect? All you have to do is act now! Start with the smallest discipline that corresponds to your own philosophy. Make the commitment: “I will discipline myself to achieve my goals so that in the years ahead I can celebrate my successes.”

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

Change With Resolve

2007-01-12T12:38:00.001-08:00

By Renita Kalhorn

Last year, I attended a seminar on how to change your life in four days, presented by Martha Beck, a Harvard-trained sociologist and well-known life coach, to a packed house. Many people, it seems, wants to change their lives. But how many of them really knew what they wanted? One sure test is to check in with your body. "The body never lies," said Martha, and called several people up to the stage, one by one, to demonstrate what she meant.

To establish the premise, each volunteer was asked to name their favorite food, hold out one arm firmly in front of them and say, "I like chocolate ice cream [or whatever their favorite food was]." When Martha pushed down on the extended arm, it didn't budge. On the other hand, when she had them say, "I like to vomit," and pressed down on the person's arm, it dropped like a rock. She then went on to "test" various volunteers who proclaimed they wanted one thing – a career in counseling, for example – but whose unsteady arms told otherwise.

At one point in the evening, an older Indian woman in the audience became very insistent that she wanted to lose weight but simply wasn't able to. "Are you sure you really want to lose weight?" asked Martha. "Oh yes," said the woman, "Since I came to America to live with my daughter and her family, I have gained so much weight and I want to get rid of it."

Martha called the woman up to the stage, and asked her to hold out her arm and say, “I like chocolate.” Her arm stayed firm. But when she said, "I want to lose weight," her arm immediately gave way when pressed. The audience gasped audibly – it really was quite startling. "Hmmm," said Martha, "I don't think you really want to lose weight.". "But I do," said the woman, "I want to be able to play with my grandchildren."

"Ahhh," said Martha. "So it's not that you want to lose weight, you want to be healthy and have energy so you can keep up with your grandchildren. Now that you've identified what you really want, see if the weight doesn't start to come off." The woman walked back to her seat looking stunned but enlightened.

The moral of the story: it"s time to reevaluate those tired old New Year"s resolutions you"ve had since the '90s. If there's something you just haven't been able to do, maybe you don't really want to do it. Once you identify your true objective, motivation will follow. Here are some guidelines to help you stay on track through January and beyond:

Pick a date. A deadline is imperative – without one, your goal is just a dream. (That's a large part of the motivational power of marathons or other competitive events that take place on a specific date.) A good time frame is three months, which allows enough time for significant progress but provides enough urgency to keep you from procrastinating.

Use the present tense. Express your goal in the present, not the future, visualizing yourself having already achieved it: e.g. "It is March 31, 2007 and I am earning $20,000 in monthly commissions." The words "I am" are extremely powerful: They form a statement of intent, and the universe will respond accordingly.

Make it concrete and quantifiable. If your goal is vague or ambiguous -- "I am thin" or "I have a better work/life balance" – how will you know when you've achieved it? But if you say: "I work out at the gym for 45 minutes three times per week," for example, then you have specific parameters for charting your progress.

Think small. Part of the reason New Year's resolutions so often fall by the wayside is that they tend to be all-or-nothing: "This year, I’m going to lose those 30 lbs once and for all." The surest route to dramatic, lasting transformation, however, is through gradual, incremental change, and studies show that we can adapt to a new habit as quickly as four days. What's the smallest possible change you could make in your routine for the next four days?

And I do mean small. If you haven't been to the gym in a year, don't dive in with an intense cardio and weight-training routine that will have your muscles screaming in agony the next morning and giving up a few days later. In fact, for the first four days, you might just put on your gear, walk to the locker-room – and then walk right back out. The next four days, get out on the gym floor for 15 minutes. And so on. The key is to build up momentum with a series of small successes.

Trial and error. Did you know that an airplane traveling between two cities is on course only 5% of the time? The other 95% of the time is spent getting back on course as a result of the wind and air pressure. What if the first or second time the plane wavered from the route, the pilot got discouraged and said, "Okay, that's it. I’m giving up, heading back."

As long as you keep your destination in mind, it's not important whether you get off track, only that you keep going. If going to the gym three times a week isn't happening, you simply need to figure out where the weak link is and tweak your plan – go in the morning instead of evening, enlist a workout buddy, join a volleyball league – not chuck the entire goal.

Keep the momentum going with small steps, enjoy the process of figuring out what works and what doesn't, and you can't help but see progress.

Synergy Creates Energy

2006-12-20T10:16:00.000-08:00

by : Denis Waitley

Living by comparison is fatal vision, for always there will be those who appear better off and worse off than ourselves at any given moment in time. In truth, there is no such distinction as superior and subordinate. We all have unique talents that will blossom and flourish when nurtured.

In past decades, there was a more "look out for number one" and "don't bring in people who might want your job" style of leadership. You generally would hire those people who would do as they were told and who wouldn't challenge your ideas or authority. This type of thinking led to bulging bureaucracies and mediocre middle management that accomplished little. This mind-set also created a scarcity mentality that there wasn't enough to go around: so don't share ideas, don't brainstorm with others who might steal your concepts, and above all, don't help your coworkers or employees succeed. We have seen that this approach clearly will not work in the global marketplace of the knowledge age.

Today the challenge is to establish networks, strategic alliances, synergistic relationships, and ad hoc teams to solve problems and help everyone accomplish their goals. You now look for those people who are not satisfied with the status quo, who are striving for excellence and have talents and abilities that you don't.

This requires that you "check your ego at the door" and that you don't get intimidated by others who may have different talents or strengths than you do. This is what synergy is all about. As we value the differences and look at truly working together, one plus one really can equal three or even more.

This week, focus on "working with others" rather than "competing against others."

Health and help

2006-11-19T10:09:00.000-08:00

"More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones."
-- Mother Teresa

If we are prompted to ask for spiritual blessings for ourselves or others, how do we best do this?

Speaker Kimberly Herkert offers that it is best to simply ask the divine for health and help. As human beings, we are not capable of seeing the big picture for anyone's situation. As a result, we are not able to judge what is best for anyone, including ourselves.

The Higher Power always knows best, and the general prayer for 'health and help' acknowledges the wisdom that exists there and our faith in divine will.

"God answers prayer in His own way, not ours."
-- Mohandas Gandhi

Awareness is the key to all change. Penetrate blocks and find your authentic self. Open to new possibilities using your imagination and intuition. Develop your basic and higher awareness.

by Robin Sharma

It takes great courage to be true to your values, hopes and dreams. Being authentic isn't just about speaking your truth - it's also about becoming the person you were meant to be and doing the dreams that reside within your heart.

So many people would rather be a part of the crowd than stepout and live their greatness. Too many amongst us wouldrather be seduced by the illusion of security than take somerisks to get to their personal mountaintops. And so theirlives stay small.

You are meant to shine. And you are meant to be your bestyou. Comfortable in your own skin. Authentic. I had dinnerthe other night with one of my best friends. He shared thathe's never been happier in his life. His secret? "I'vealways been my own man."

Nothing worse than getting to the end of your life andrealizing you lived your neighbor's life. Live your values.Enjoy your passions. Live life on your own terms. Live yourtruth (and the gigantic potential that resides within you).It doesn't matter if others laugh. You'll be you.

Release Your Fears, Re-kindle Your Purpose

2006-08-17T11:29:00.000-07:00

Subjects like Your Brave Heart (release your fears, re-kindle your purpose and embrace the challenges in your life), The Art of Connecting (having the internal and the external aspects of our communication in harmony and not in competition) and The Art of Attracting (the concepts and principles that will allow you to create smart vs. working hard) all have a common theme - getting to the heart of the matter and touching and affecting others with your passion (Passionate People Produce)!

A little over a year ago I had the pleasure of witnessing an incredible event with 8 fantastic speakers. There was one speaker that I was unfamiliar with. Her message was amazing. She spoke of how she immigrated to America 14 years ago with little resources. She then began the process of attracting according to her purpose in life. Her message was inspiring and her "life lessons" were full of great insights, but what made an even greater impression upon me was the constant group of people that were lined up the rest of the day waiting to talk with Ellie Drake and seeing her effervescent smile and personality. She truly did understand and operate with the gift of Connecting and Attracting.

Ellie recently gave us permission to offer these 4 programs (individually or as a group) at substantially lower prices than she has on her website or events. But she made it clear that this would need to be with a strict deadline and a one time offer.

Treat yourself to a special gift that will touch and enlarge your heart and world!

Ellie Drake has implemented the principles of vocal awareness as taught by her vocal coach Arthur Joseph. These methods have allowed her to be more in her power and connected while she strives to connect and attract.

"Arthur's work is not an assignment for me. It is a conscious choice to empower my Self. This work has assisted me in creating and attracting. The music within my voice, my inner communication, is much more effective. Vocal Awareness is the art of empowerment. The art of empowerment is the essence of the art of attracting." --Ellie Drake

How To Beat The Monday Morning Work Blues & Jump Start Your Week

2006-04-21T13:02:00.000-07:00

By : Robin S. Sharma, LL.M.

Link Paycheck to Purpose - One of the deepest needs of every human being is the need to make a difference in the lives of others. Take the time to connect with all the people who count on you and the lives you affect through your work.

Often we forget the men, women and children who rely on our work to live high quality lives of their own.

Find Work that Excites You - We spend most of our lives at work so we might as well find an occupation that fires us up and engages our hearts. Most people stay in jobs they don't like because they feel they need the security or because "it could be worse."

Yet, one of the most universal truths of all is that when you find work you love and have the courage to pursue it,success is certain to follow. We are all here for a special purpose and we all have unique gifts and talents. Discover your calling and have the self-discipline to follow it.

Set Weekly Goals - Goals offer hope to the hopeless and inspiration to the uninspired. Big, exciting goals give you a reason to get up in the morning and fuel your thoughts as you move through your day. People without life goals are like a leaf drifting in the Fall wind, moving in whatever direction it decides to take them.

Get Up Earlier - Rather than beginning your week in the eye of the tornado, why not get up 1 hour earlier and take the time to enjoy some of life's simpler pleasures, pleasures that you may have neglected in your fast-paced lifestyle. Go for a walk in natural surroundings, watch the sun rise or read a good book.

Contemplate how you will spend the week ahead and create a plan for success. Remember, failing to plan is planning to fail.

Stop Blaming Others - Successful people accept complete responsibility for every aspect of their lives. They realize that if the way they are living is not ideal, they have the power to make changes and improve their life's quality. They accept total responsibility for their current circumstances and continuously strive to make things better.

They understand that for their life to improve, they must improve and so they read more, learn more and do more than the average person. They don't blame others for setbacks but, instead, have the wisdom to know that they alone affect their destinies.

Keep Your Perspective - Too many people focus on the little annoyances of work. They complain about colleagues they don't like or a boss who doesn't care. They complain about the long hours or the endless commutes. But when you remind them that many people are unemployed, their sense of perspective returns.

When you inform them that some people have been searching for work for years, they begin to appreciate their good fortunes. When you mention that their salary is far higher than most salaries in the rest of the world, they grow more positive about the positions they hold. Maintain a sense of perspective about your work and your life.

Focus on the Positive - Our thoughts form our world. Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Through the thoughts you run through your mind every minute of every day, you can create a rich, rewarding life or a living nightmare.

Remember, there is no objective reality. We see the world through our own set of unique lenses and we all have the power to interpret the world in a positive way if we so choose. As one wise thinker said: "we see the world, not as it is but as we are."

Grow Wiser - Rather than wishing for fewer problems, wish for greater wisdom. Rather than hoping that life will get easier, why not focus on working smarter. In these change- crazed times, he who learns most wins. Become a lifelong student.

Learn more about your industry and field than anyone else around you. Read more than others. Go to more seminars and get serious about the work you do. This is how you become a person of great value whose success is assured.

Support Others with Your Presence

2006-04-11T11:35:00.000-07:00

"The purpose of therapy is not to remove suffering but TO MOVE THROUGH IT to an enlarged consciousness that can sustain the polarity of painful opposites."

-- James Hollis

How do we support others who are suffering?

When we understand how soul works through us, we begin to see how pain generates the impulse to change. We see that our aim in supporting someone is NOT to get rid of their pain and suffering. Instead, we want to assist them to understand what the pain is trying to teach them -- to find meaning in their distress.

Often, all we need do is be fully present to them. It also helps to be present to our own experience and genuine in our feelings. Living our own truth helps create the space for the other person to live theirs.

"The first duty of love is to listen."

-- Paul Tillich

"With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing."

-- Catherine de Hueck Doherty

NOW AVAILABLE! - The Soul Journey – a 6 e-book program by Andrew Schneider – an in-depth, practical guide to healing the personality and developing soul consciousness. Take a journey through the traps of ego. A journey through consciousness. A journey into a life of meaning, purpose, joy and service.

The Power of Your Beliefs

2006-04-07T18:13:00.000-07:00

by Lisa Jimenez, M.Ed.

Your beliefs are the driving force behind your behaviors. Beliefs send powerful messages to your brain that affect your actions (and their outcome) in either a positive or negative way. Your beliefs will cause you to do one of two things:

Be fearful and RETREAT, or
Be empowered and ACT!

That's how powerful your beliefs are. Your beliefs about failure, risk-taking, and success will either cause you to repel success, or act and attract it to you. Success takes two ingredients: belief and time. The more belief you have, the less time it takes.

How can you ensure your belief system is empowering and is actually attracting success to you? Three things:

First, it is imperative that you are making daily efforts to get the negative messages out of your life. You need to create an obsession with filtering what you allow in. Television, newspapers, some movies and songs, negative thoughts and people, all need to be limited - even banned from your day.
Second, you need to expose and replace the negative beliefs you presently have. Think about what you say on a daily basis. Observe your habitual behaviors in different situations. Tell the truth. Expose these negative beliefs. Only then will you be truly free. Then, replace these negative beliefs and bad habits with empowering ones. Think on these new thoughts and beliefs about success and over time you will retrain your mind and change your heart.
Lastly, create a compelling vision of your success. Craft a picture of you - as the person you want to be - in your mind and THINK ON THIS throughout your day. Not only with this vision put a smile on your face, this habit will actually create success.

Remember middle school science class? You learned the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is energy waiting to happen. Not until it's moving and active will you see it in its kinetic energy state. When it's in the kinetic state it is a reality. Wow! That means you can create reality (the kinetic energy) with your thoughts and beliefs (potential energy). Never underestimate the power of your beliefs!

Change Your Beliefs and You Change Your Behavior

Change Your Behavior and You Change Your Life!

Have a great day!

Master Your Destiny

2006-04-04T10:23:00.000-07:00

by : Kurt W. Mortensen

In spite of all our planning and preparation, unexpected challenges are certain to arise. The bumps in the road are unavoidable, but you'll never get to your destination if you aren't willing to drive over them. The difference between catastrophe and triumph lies in whether or not you're buckled up, prepared and willing to weather the storm. If you're ready, those bumps will become stepping-stones. Even though you had to endure some discomfort along the way, you'll ultimately end up on higher and better ground. Sometimes we find ourselves surrounded by people who seem to work the same amount we do, or even less, and they still get better results. Drives you crazy, doesn't it?

The key thing to realize is that working harder is not necessarily the same thing as working smarter. How do you work smarter? You need to have the right tools at your disposal. Consider any professional who uses tools for a living. Having the right tool available makes the job easier. Suppose you had to cut down a tree, but you had to do it with a pocketknife. Eventually the job would get done, but what if you had an axe or a chainsaw instead? The same job would get done better and faster—two factors we would all appreciate more of in whatever our jobs may be. Sometimes, when using a new tool for the first time, we need some special training. Then we need practice. Finally, repeated practice will lead to seasoned experience.

Acquiring the Exponential Factor can be compared to training and exercising to get your body in shape when you haven't followed an exercise routine in years, or ever in your life. There may be some pain and discomfort in the beginning stages, but if you keep at it, it starts to feel good. You are being stretched and pulled out of your comfort zone, but in the end, it’s definitely worth it.

My early mentor Jim Rohn taught me two important lessons. The first thing he said was: "Do you want to spend a day at the beach or own a piece of the beach?" Sure, this next step toward exponential success will take some energy and effort. Will it be worth it? No question about it. You have to do things you don’t want to do to be able not to do the things you don’t want to do. In other words, if you pay the price now, you can do whatever you want in the future. The second thing Jim said was: "For things to change, you must change, and for things to get better, you must get better. To change your life, your income, your relationships, you need to change you. We find the biggest challenge to our success in our mindset. Ironic how this is the very thing most people work on last. I'll admit I was in the same boat. I would go to the seminars, read the books and listen to the tapes. I would listen to successful people talk about vision, goal setting, mental programming and attitude and say, “Yeah, yeah, whatever, just give me the tools."

Hello—those things are the most important tools. When I finally realized that if every millionaire I listened to and every success book I read talked about these important principles, I better do them. When I realized this important truth, my life and my income changed. Then in a flash, it came to me. The universe will not reward you physically until you believe in it mentally. It is the mindset that matters and which is the biggest obstacle to your success and happiness.

You understand now how all this changing and growing is a process. But how much change is necessary? How much growth is required? The answer is: as much as possible. Have you ever noticed how every life form on Earth except human beings seems to strive to reach its maximum potential? How tall will a tree grow? It will grow as tall as it possibly can in its given environment. Part of the problem in our tendency to underachieve, ironically, is that we, as human beings, actually possess the ability to make choices. Some of us will choose to excel; others of us will be content with the status quo. Sure, desire is innate, but action is not. Jonathon Winters once said, "If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it." Are you swimming, treading water or watching from the shore?

"There is that part of ourselves that feels ugly, deformed, unacceptable. That part, above all, we must learn to cherish, embrace, and call by name."
-- Macrina Wiederkehr

Each of us has characteristics we define as 'good' and those we define as 'bad.' The parts of ourselves that we continually reject want to be acknowledged and loved. Until we honour these aspects, they will continue to assert themselves. They will do whatever they can to get our attention.

What aspects of yourself do you reject?
Take a few moments to open to the parts of yourself that you do not love. See each one honestly for what it is. Explore the wounds and the motives that gave rise to its condition. Love a wounded part of yourself and it will heal.

"...self-contempt never inspires lasting change."
-- Jane R. Hirschmann and Carol H. Munter

"The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That's all you have to do. Change is not something you do, it's something you allow."
-- Will Garcia

Defining Yourself

2006-03-11T01:44:00.000-08:00

by : Jim Stovall

All of us spend far too much time, effort, and energy worrying about what other people think about us. We would spend far less time worrying about what other people think about us if we realized how seldom they do.

In the final analysis, the only opinion about us that matters is the opinion we hold of ourselves. This involves a level of self-evaluation and honesty that few people achieve.

One of the great writers of all time, William Shakespeare,wrote, "To thine own self be true." This is very simple but not very easy. In order for us to fully understand who we are, we first have to be clear on who we are not.

The great sculptor, Michael Angelo, when asked how he was able to take a block of granite and turn it into a beautiful woman, replied, "You simply find a block of granite and remove everything that is not a beautiful woman."

All of us have talents and abilities that, if fully exploited, would make us successful. Unfortunately, we too often perform outside of our level of talent and expertise.

One of the advantages I find in being blind is that there are so many things I cannot do. This leaves a handful of things I can do where I can focus my efforts and energy.

This narrow focus has brought me a high degree of success, happiness, and satisfaction. If you have all five senses,you will have to take on the added task of focusing your energy in certain areas while eliminating others where you could perform if you wanted to.

Remember, Michael Jordan was arguably the best basketball player that has ever played the game; but when he decided to play baseball, he was barely a mediocre Minor League player.

Playing in the Minor Leagues is great if that's all you can do. I would argue that each of us has Major League talent and ability if we will simply play the right game and not play the wrong ones.

Everyone you can think of who has ever achieved greatness has focused their talent in a narrow range. Anyone attempting to be great at everything is destined, at best,to be average at a lot of things and great at nothing.

Try observing yourself objectively as if you were evaluating an employee. Give yourself an annual review. Determine what you do well and where you perform at only an average level.

Begin to work on eliminating the average until you only deal with the things you do well. The more specialized you become as you focus on your greatness, the more you will succeed.

As you go through your day today, determine to undergo an honest self-evaluation. Move toward your area of greatness,and away from everything else.

Inspired Living

2006-03-01T14:05:00.000-08:00

Do you wake up with a smile and feel excited about your day or do you feel stressed and wish for things to be different?

Most people define themselves with the second group and what is even more fascinating is that they accept it as 'normal' and they believe there is nothing they can do to change it.

For the majority of people when they pursue a goal or a dream and they don't achieve it time after time, they begin to adjust and talk themselves out of their desires and into living life far below their capability and needs. They would say “well, I don't really need to think that big... it is not really me” only to avoid PAIN. Pain they associate with failure, disappointment, what other people say, etc. By allowing fear control our decisions we get seduced into this thing of 'being comfortable' which leads to a state of stagnation, and when you are stagnant what are you experiencing; frustration, feelings of overwhelm, feeling of 'why even try', no sense of meaning. The vast majority of us have lowered our standards and adjust our dreams to the current circumstances to we don't have to deal with the disappointment. The secret to fulfilled life is to constantly grow, to find a way to improve our lives in a very deliberate and measurable way, so you live with passion every day, instead of being caught in the role of making a living.

What is very common in human experience is that so many people know what to do but don't do what they know. They gather information even get inspired for a moment, but they don't develop the habits that cause them to consistently use what they know.

Why? Because it means they will have to take personal responsibility and face two of their primary fears of not being enough and not being liked or loved by others!

Imagine how it will feel like being free of limiting beliefs and negative fears. Have you ever wondered what shapes human behavior and how can we create lasting change in ourselves and others?

Anthony Robbins has passionately pursued the answers to those questions through interaction with a tremendously diverse group of people- from presidents of countries to prisoners; from parents to professional athletes; from children to managers; from gang members to high-powered executives- he synthesized some fundamental tools and strategies to help maximized our capabilities as human beings and measurably accelerate the pace at which we can achieve our true goals and desires.

Anthony Robbins is a world-renowned writer and speaker on the subject of leadership and self-determination. He is a recognized authority on the psychology of negotiation, organizational turnaround and peak performance, and he has been honored for this strategic intellect and humanitarian endeavors. His non-profit Anthony Robbins Foundation provides assistance to the homeless, elderly and youth, and feeds more than one million people in nine countries every year through its international project “Basket Brigade”. Anthony Robbins has directly impacted the lives of nearly 50 million people from 80 countries with his best selling books and audiotape products, public speaking engagements and live appearances.

In addition to global efforts to facilitate leadership, peace and philanthropy, Robbins is an award winning speaker who has addressed such distinguished audience as the British Parliament, Harvard Business School, the Gorbachev Foundation's Cold War Forum, the Presidents' Summit for America’s Future, World Economic Forum. Robbins has joined forces with Cloe Madanes through the Robbins-Madanes Centre for Strategic Intervention to create formalized training tools and programs for the therapeutic community. Madanes is one of the most recognized educators and trainer of therapists worldwide.

Anthony Robbins' flagship seminar is called Unleash the Power Within which is really an awakening call, an invitation to sharpen your awareness and to raise your standards. In one weekend participants experience the power of life changing decisions and are coached to push out the boundaries and on night participants get themselves into highest energized state and walk on a bed of glowing coals! Once you have walked on coals you are ready to ask yourself “what else can I now achieve which I used to see as impossible?”

In one weekend your perception of life will be transformed as you will challenge your model of the world, your beliefs and values and will begin to unlock your potential. You will become aware of your choices and be exposed to refreshing insights into the psychology of success conditioning: Neuro-Linguistic Programming, mastering emotional intelligence, management of stress and dealing with conflicts and fears, elimination of limiting beliefs and installations of empowering alternatives, re-igniting the inner power that make you feel even more confident, motivated and passionate about your life.

Would like to discover how you can create that long lasting change and enjoy an even more rewarding life; first, think what is it that you would like to better, secondly, think and feel what would having/not having it in your life mean to you. Thirdly, take an intelligent action towards it, right Now!

If the 'voice in the head' tells you not to bother because “you have tried so many times before and have not succeed” this is the Fear talking, and it is time to eliminate it as the past does not equal the future! Make sure you book to see Anthony Robbins in his last appearance in the UK for the foreseeable future! These are going to be the most powerful, entertained, empowering days of your life and the only thing you invest is your time, as this seminar does deliver that it promises and this is truly a priceless experience.

Seek the inner cause of problems

2006-02-28T11:00:00.000-08:00

"When you arrive at your future, will you blame your past?"
-- Robert Half

What holds you back from being and doing more? In your journal, list what you believe is holding you back.

Have you blamed people or factors outside of yourself? It's important to understand that ALL problems are rooted inside us. Even the blocks that appear to be outside of us are only reflecting back an issue we have inside that we have not yet owned. Once we address our inner issue, the outer situation no longer troubles us.

The buck always stops with us. We step into our power when we accept responsibility for our lives.

"The most self-destructive thought that any person can have is thinking that he or she is not in total control of his or her life. That's when, ‘Why me?’ becomes a theme song."
-- Roger Dawson

"...look at that word blame. It's just a coincidence that the last two letters spell the word me. But that coincidence is worth thinking about. Other people or unfortunate circumstances may have caused you to feel pain, but only you control whether you allow that pain to go on. If you want those feelings to go away, you have to say: ‘It's up to me.’"
-- Arthur Freeman

"Don't make excuses -- make good."

Motivating Yourself To Succeed In Business

2006-02-25T16:47:00.000-08:00

by : Ted Lewis

You’ve got an idea for your business. Maybe it’s a million-dollar idea. Most business ideas that end up being even remotely feasible could be turned into a million-dollar idea with the right tweaking. So you start out, gung-ho, to set the world on fire and get your idea off the ground. Then BAM! It happens. Your first obstacle.

You try this, and then you try that; you try to go around it, up it, over it, through it, but nothing is working and you’ve just about given up hope. You’re ready to throw in the towel. You hate to just walk away, but yet you’re so down and out about it now that you just don’t see any other way.

Maybe you’ve faced a situation like this before, and ended up failing. We’ve all probably been there at one time or another. Even Thomas Edison said that he “failed his way” to success. It’s the rare individual who makes it big on his first business deal. No baseball player learns to hit a homer on his first time at bat, so why should we think we’re any different? It takes hard work and perseverance to succeed at any task, especially if it’s in a new area for us. And for most of us, being in business is a new area for us indeed.

So instead of getting all down-in-the-mouth about the obstacle facing you, decide – no, DETERMINE – that you’re going to beat it. Look outside of your own little world for examples of how others have beaten the same obstacle. Every business out there that is successful, even if they’re in a totally different field, has probably faced an obstacle similar to yours. And you can be certain that businesses in the same or similar field you’re in have faced obstacles similar, if not exactly the same, as the one now facing you.

If your obstacles are more of an inner nature, and not from an external source, you might need to plug into some of the personal motivational stuff that abounds these days. Try looking at stuff from Norman Vincent Peal, Zig Ziglar, or Tony Robbins. These guys have all made careers out of teaching people how to motivate themselves and bootstrap out of a trying situation.

But you must first DETERMINE that you’re going to win. Think of the door-to-door salesman. He knocks on a lot of doors, and most lead to nowhere, but he knows that numbers are on his side. It’s a statistical game – some of those doors will open up, and you never know which of those will lead to the sale. So the lesson from them would be that YOU CAN NEVER STOP TRYING!

Till next time…Success to you!

Is Your Purpose as Strong as a Mosquito's?

2006-02-21T03:37:00.000-08:00

By Sue Urda

How can one small mosquito create such a huge stir? It’s simple. It decides what it wants - your blood, and it takes action - bites you. In that moment when the mosquito bites you, sucks your blood and then withdraws, it is fulfilling one of the primary functions of its’ short life. The mosquito needs protein from the blood of a mammal, so it can lay eggs. Without it, the eggs cannot be laid. The only other purpose a mosquito has in life is to mate.

Are you fulfilling your primary function, your purpose in this life? Do you know what it is? Many of us cringe when we hear these questions. “I have a purpose in life? I can’t figure it out. Why didn’t anyone ever tell me what it is? It’s not on my birth certificate.”

Maybe our purpose isn’t blatantly obvious to us, and maybe it doesn’t become clear to us until many years into our lives, so we struggle with questions of direction and meaning. What is important to remember is that no matter what we do or what we don’t do - in each moment of each day we are making a difference whether we are aware of it or not - whether we intend to or not.

Our actions and words set examples for everyone around us; our children, coworkers, family, friends - everyone around us is affected by what we decide to do or not to do. Spending even a single dollar at the grocery store can affect the economy of many countries and the people in them. Throwing one soda can into a stream can affect the ecology for miles around. Planting trees on a hillside can affect the air around our whole planet. A smile to the gas station attendant can make his whole day!

Here are a few single individuals who have made a BIG difference in this world: Helen Keller, The little boy with his finger in the dike, Erma Bombeck, Your Parents (you’re here, aren’t you?), Oprah, Sadam Hussein, Mother Teresa, Your neighbor, Martha Stewart, Gloria Steinem, Anthony Robbins, Mary Kay Ash, T. Harv Eker, Elanor Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Marie Curie, Debbie Fields, Rosa Parks, Wayne Dyer, Susan G. Komen, Walt Disney, Princess Diana, Mrs. Barrett (my 8th grade teacher).

What did these people possess that transformed them from someone ordinary to someone extraordinary? They started with a dream. They honed their purpose. They created a clear vision and added the desire from their heart and soul. And then, perhaps the most important part - they took action. They believed in the beauty and importance of their dreams so much that they took action. They were conscious and aware that what they chose could make a difference, and they moved forward. They did something.

Never underestimate the effects of your actions in one moment of time. What can you do right now? What WILL you do?

Now, that’s Powerful!
