Quote of the day.......

"I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves."
Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
1767-1835, German Statesman

Knowledge is only ever powerful when you share it with others......

I have recently been reading a book called 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class by a chap called Steve Siebold......what an amazing book. For those of you who are focussed on self development then this is the book for you....

I have just read Secret Number 74 which talks about the power of knowledge and what to do with it. It is a common misconception that knowledge is power, but I am of the opinion that it is the application and sharing of this knowledge with others that is the powerful aspect of it.

Champions share the wealth of knowledge that they have have with others as they are coming from more of a spiritual level as opposed to an egotistical one. The ego feeds of the need to feel important and regard yourself in a higher position than others. The spiritual side of us is a self confident and loving entity that feels no threat when sharing ideas and knowledge with others.

So for you grow into a champion you MUST realise that the sharing of knowledge can only help you grow and reach your goals. So what are you holding back on today that could help someone? Where have you thought that you don't want to give someone some knowledge for fear that it might make them better than you?

Go on be a champion and share all the wonderful information that you have.......and there's plenty more than you think there is.......

Quote of the day........

"Remember, success is not measured by heights attained but by obstacles overcome. We're going to pass through many obstacles in our lives: good days, bad days. But the successful person will overcome those obstacles and constantly move forward."

Talking to yourself isn't a sign of madness......

.....its talking negatively to yourself, thats where the mad part comes in!!!

We all talk to ourselves in some way shape or form at some time and the content of what we say is massively important.

Have you ever had a situation where you have done something or said something and then have proceeded to verbally berate yourself because you didn't get the outcome that you wanted? This is an important and vulnerable time in which you can either positively learn from the experience or negatively reinforce the mistake that you have made which could prevent you from growing, cause you to continue to make the mistake or, even worse, never attempt to achieve the result you want in the same situation again.

It is crucial to look for the positives in the situation whatever the result is and immediately ensure that your language is positively reinforcing the lessons you can learn. So ask yourself what you could have done better? What are you going to do better next time? How are you going to positively reinforce the next time?

Remember the following equation:

E + R = 0

Experience + Response-Ability = Outcome

From positive reinforcement you can learn from your experience and next time you are in the same situation you can decide on what your Outcome needs to be, by drawing on your experience and knowing that you have the abilty to deal with any response.....perfect......

Have a cracking weekend.

A limerick....

HAPPINESS

OK, another limerick…

It’s hard to find joy, some say

In a world full of decay.

The pursuit of happiness

Amid all the crappiness

Seems like trying to swim through clay

…so it’s time to start molding that clay, shaping it, forming it.
Before you know it, you have a swimming pool you can fill with warm, tropical water. The world is not decaying as long as you are forming it.

Quote of the day.......

"The great successful men of the world have used their imaginations.....they think ahead and create their mental picture, and the go to work materialising that picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this bit, but steadily building, steadily building" - Robert Collier

What are you putting........

Time to sharpen the decision making skills again!!!

What are you putting off in your life that you KNOW must be done for you to feel like you are moving on? What are the clear decisions you are not taking and what are the reasons for this?

It could be anything - business, family, friends, health, wealth.........

Believe me the moment you clean out your closet of decision making you will have masses of empty space to put other useful things in there.....

Is there something that you are putting off because you are scared of what will happen.......believe me the result won't be as bad as you think it will be!!

Are you putting something off because you feel you don't know how to say or do it.....believe me when you DECIDE to do it, they way will materialise for you......

Or is it simply because you don't know whether its the right thing to do......well there's only one way to find out.......do it......

It is our moments of decision that our destiny is shaped and once you make the change your life will change for the better, even if the result of the action you take isn't a positive experience for you, it still means that you have flexed those decision making muscles and you now know that you can do it!!!

So make list of the the things you have been putting off and start ticking them off one by one.....you will have an amazing release of energy and feel like the weight has been lifted off your shoulders....
