Champion or Amateur?

I am fortunate enough to have some fantastic friends in my life who help me correct my thinking when i am thinking like an amateur! One particular friend (Nick) introduced me to a fantastic book that gives you some superb lessons on how to ALWAYS think like a champion. Contrary to popular belief champions arent born they are made....like diamonds over a period of time. It happens through hard work, constant maintaining of the highest standards and going the extra mile that amateurs wont do. So ask yourself the question at work or play are you going the extra mile and being and thinking like a champion? If not what are you going to do differently from now on. I will be putting ideas on here to keep you all in a champions mind set. Remember think like a champion, talk like a champion, dress like a champion, live life like a champion and you will become healthy, wealthy (spiritually, moneytarily, emotionally) and wise.

Life coaching.......

Do you ever feel like you need to move forward with your life but you don't know where to start? Do you ever feel like you lack the structure to achieve your end goal? Or do you just lack someone that is going to hold you accountable for the actions you should be taking?

If the answer is yes to any of the above then look no further.......I am a qualified life coach and I would welcome the opportunity to assist you in your coaching and taking your forward in your life.

My sessions can be done face to face or over the phone and last an hour for a period of 3 months if needs be.

So if you are interested in taking your life to new levels or are in the process of doing it already and need some guidance then please either e-mail me at david.davies@marveldevelopment.co.uk or 07888 665 868.

Have an amazing weekend and remember:

"People who consider themselves victims of their circumstances will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives." Stedman Graham

Quote......

I was watching The Dark Knight (Batman Film) and heard a fantastic quote which was......

"The darkest part of night is just before the dawn".....so when you are feeling in despair and you feel low remember GOOD TIMES are just around the corner.....

Quote of the day......

Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

George Washington Carver

The very curable disease.......

...........there is an epidemic sweeping the nation and it is effecting millions of people....no its not flu, but something much much worse.......the symptoms are easy to spot, the cure is easy to administer and it doesn't take long to feel better........You may well have had it before or you may know someone who has it right now......its called.....dare I say it.........Excusitis.......

Excusitis is a horrible disease that prevents people from reaching their goals.....the clear symptoms usually display themselves in the form of the following:

• Blaming other people for the situation they find themselves in
• Blaming their age, sexual orientation, gender, height, weight, race for their situation
• Blaming social circumstances for their problems
• Blaming the "credit crunch" (what a horrible phrase) for their problems
• Blaming their upbringing
• Blaming their peers
• Blaming their company or their boss

The list goes on and on and on (most people who suffer from excusitis normally say more than one of the above)!!!

Now how true are these things? The answer is...However true you want them to be!!!! You have to ask yourself whether Helen Keller allowed her disability to prevent her from becoming an Author, Lecturer and Political Activist. Do you think that Barrack Obama used his ethnicity to prevent him from becoming the first black President of the USA? Do you think Elton John used his sexuality as a reason for him not to become the famous entertainer he is today.....the answer is NO not at all.

Look at your current situation and believe with an utter faith that it is not because of your size, shape, colour, creed or economic climate, educational level or upbringing that have put you where you are......its down to the decisions you have made or not made.....

Realise NOW that you can change your situation today if you take simple and effective ACTION!! You create your life NOT the other way round.....

So if you are suffering from excusitis and want to rid yourself of it then get up and decide what you want to change in your life....and then simply change it.

I can hear some people now saying "Its not that easy" trust me it is.......From being 17 stone, single, driving a fiesta and not performing at work....I decided to take simple yet drastic action and within 3 months I was 15 stone, driving a BMW, going out with an amazing woman and had drive and clarity at work.......Now I don't say this to impress you, but to impress upon you (as Tony Robbins would say) the simplicity of taking inspired action NOW!!!!

Something I should have done ages ago......

I completed something today that I should have dones ages ago......and it is riduculous that I haven't done it sooner!!!!

I wrote my vision for 2009 today and let me tell you my 2009 is going to be awesome.....its full of adventure, love, laughter, new places, shark dives, table mountains, weddings, nieces, friends, family, life coaching, personal development, spiritual development and much much more......

Writing a vision helps you to plan how your year (or a certain time frame) is going to go in advance, its bascially putting down on paper what your vision board says to you in pictures.....(those of you that haven't done your vision board might find a written vision better for you)

Your vision should get you energised and excited when you read it, it should be full of emotive words and bold statements, it should always be in the present tense and most importantly it should be full of things that you whole heartedly believe in......

And good news is....you can take it with you anywhere you go. In your purse/wallet, in your diary, in your car.........you could even transfer it on to CD and listen to it as you go on your way to work......

Its a powerful tool to help you create the life you want for yourself......if you want any tips drop me a mail david.davies@marveldevelopment.co.uk

Quote of the day.......

"Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth."

Bruce Lee1940-1973, Martial Artist, Actor and Author

I'm in the mood for dancing.........

Have you ever been listening to a piece of music or singing to yourself and then broken into a dance? Come on you know what I mean.....you have been in the kitchen and singing away and all of sudden you don't know how but you have ended up in the middle of the kitchen using the salt and pepper shakers as maracas and dancing to Loco In Acapolco.....(yes I admit it I have done it...)

These bouts of movement and energy happen because your body is pure energy and it is this energy that is screaming to be let out, they certainly make you feel energised after doing them and it shows you that you have energy deep inside you that can be summoned when you need it.

So what am i getting at apart from using kitchen utensils as stage props? Well remember this.....when you are feeling like you are lacking in energy......dance or run or sing or exercise....move yourself and because your body is made of pure energy you will become energised........sounds weird eh.......sometimes to recharge your energy you need to move your body and shake it up......awaken the energetic person inside you and you will feel like you can achieve anything.......
