How to turn negative into positive

"Mr. X " is suppressing our Results.

2011-11-22T16:34:00.000-08:00

"Mr. X" is suppressing our Results.

How we can talk ourselves out of our own winning Attitude?

How can we be wining in one area of life and loosing in another area and think that it works in some area of life and that it doesn't in another?

The Laws of this Universe are so precise we can send a space ship to the moon and we can time the landing with a precision of a fraction of a second.

These Laws work every single time in every situation in every area of life.

So what is this Power that stops us from reaching towards our Purpose, Vision, Goals?

This Power is called Paradigms or Conditioning or "Mr. X" as we will refer to it and it is very easy to get caught up in the trap.

"Mr. X " is controlling your thinking - and that is the reason why when you are not going in the direction you want in life, you think you're justified in doing what you are doing -you feel perfectly justified.

So, "Mr. X" is in control - this is so Insidious and it becomes clear/very obvious why so very few people win in every business in, every Industry - right now there are people wining hands down when almost everybody else is loosing ~ there are people right now that are doing very well in Real Estate - this down in business as we read everywhere has not effected them - in fact they start to look at it as a plus - because they start to notice that everyone started to quit so there is no competition.

But we can change that - all we need is understanding, awareness and willingness to do it.

You are making a Big Mistake if you are underestimating the Power of "Mr.X"

In our next post we'll take it a little deeper in How "Mr. X" was formed & why we have the Conditioning we have.

Please share with us your thoughts.

Leadership is : Sending people in a new direction towards a New Vision.

2011-10-25T18:14:00.000-07:00

Leadership is : Sending people in a new direction towards a New Vision.

Leadership Is influence.

Leaders help ppl. get over their fear and give them a Vision that's worth failing for/worth taking a risk for
Effective Leaders build an Image of what they want to achieve, they don't look at their present circumstances and make a decision on what they think they can achieve based on that.
Effective leaders look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them they make them.
True Leaders use their Imagination to build a magnificent Vision of what they want and continually aim at it ~
Einstein put it very well : Known knowledge is only going to take you so far ….IMAGINATION will take you anywhere
They hold the Image / the Idea on the screen of their mind and use their Intellectual Faculty (Will) to stay focused and start to move towards their Vision.
As they move towards their Goal their Goal starts to move towards them.
What do I mean by that?
The thoughts we are thinking are moving into form all the time.
The Law of Perpetual Transmutation states - Energy is always moving into form - trough form - and back into form.
There is tremendous power in thoughts.
What do you believe you can achieve?
What do you believe about yourself?

Please share your thoughts.

We can never change things by fighting existing reality.

2011-10-11T14:20:00.000-07:00

We can never change things by fighting existing reality -to change things we creating a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

We are experiencing change that is unprecedented - everyone is experiencing change - the whole world is changing, but personal growth is a choice.

We have the choice to grow or to let the change control us.

I think we have to build New Models - for our personal life and for our Company.

If you are a Leader you have to stop and ask yourself : Am I providing the tools, the information, the environment to help the ones I lead so they can adapt to the change that is taking place?

If you are an entrepreneur or a sales person ask yourself : do I know how to deal with my thoughts about myself as a person so I can adapt to change and have the courage to continue to take chances, to grow, to change?

You know, in today's leading-edge environment it's very easy to get overwhelmed and stuck at so many levels, and if we do not look for new ways and tools to get unstuck - what do you think happens to our Self Image?

Yes, you got it right our Self Image takes a beating and over time we become weaker and we feel defeated.

Our Self Image has a very important role in the Results we get in life in all areas of life - be that financial, relationships, health etc.

Our Self Image dictates every action we take - every action we take is continually motivated by our Self Image and every action we take creates the Results we get in our life.

Self Image also dictates how we interpret other people's reaction to us.

Our Self Image also determines the Attitudes we adopt in any given circumstance or towards the people we interact with on regular basis (like our new prospects, our clients, our colleagues or our loved ones).

So how are you doing on that? How are you dealing with change?

Build your Self Image in a way that it will serve you- do not allow outside circumstances control your Results in Life.

Today, Self Development is becoming a necessity my friends or growth will be difficult and slow.

The purpose of a Goal is to become the person who will have it.

If you have a specific Goal that you want to achieve -find someone to show you how to create the mindset to reach it, to quickly become the successful person you want to be.

Please share your thoughts with us.

To our success.

Know your power, believe in your power, and take action.

2011-08-30T06:28:00.000-07:00

Know your power, believe in your power, and take action.

We can never get what we don't have - unless we are willing to do what we have never done.

No matter our level of success, wealth, and education, when we aim toward a New Big Bold Goal that we have never achieved before ~ we feel doubts, fears and flaws.

And, when that happens we get STUCK.

But understand that the feeling of fear or doubt is only a sign that you reached the end of your Comfort Zone nothing more ~ by no means this is an indicator of your potential.

It is simply your Old Conditioning trying to rationalize (ration lies) to your mind - trying to come up with very good reasons why you can't achieve your Goal.

Do you know that your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you?

Your Results are a direct reflexion of YOUR Self image that is lodge deeply in your Subconscious Mind.

Results in all areas of your life are controlled by your actions and your actions are continually motivated by your Self Image. And get this, we can never surpass our Self Image.

What is Self Image anyways?

Self Image is - Image of Self or ~ what we believe we can achieve , it is part of our Sub Conscious Mind (or Conditioned Mind) and it has been transferred to us from generation to generation.

Our Self Image has nothing to do with us - it has to do with the Ideas that were going on around us as children, yet it is what drives us or stops us.

So, it would make a lot of sense to start to study ourselves , to start to understand how our Self Image impacts our Results in all areas of life.

Share your Ideas and how you think our self Image is preventing us from taking big steps towards Success?

Until next time ~ Live life like you mean it~

Gathering information will not make you more successful - APPLYING IT WILL..

2011-08-23T16:12:00.000-07:00

Gathering information will not make you more successful - APPLYING IT WILL..

In the past few days I've been thinking how can I give back a little to the community that really is committed to help everyone grow in awareness but more important - this wonderful community #Leadfromwithin is the perfect place to begin to Move Out of Your Comfort Zone / form new Habits / challenge the "Status Quo" / take time to look at the steps / actions we take towards our Purpose / Vision / Goals from different perspectives.

This is all very nice but here is the part I would really encourage you to hear : gathering information will not make you more successful - APPLYING IT WILL..

Just like reading a book - the purpose is not to just finish the book but what did you learn? What new Ideas from the book will you apply to your Goal, to your life?

It's not what we know that will take us the Next Level Success, to Increased Performance, to better Relationships, to more Prosperity in our Life but - What we do with that what we know.

So, if you forgot about one of your Goals you chose at the beginning of the year :) (as New Year resolution) let's choose a Goal.

What is the Goal you will apply new learned Ideas from #Leadfromwithin to?

And more important (just what I ask my clients to do) - what New Habits will you commit to based on what you learn each week from #Ledfromwithin ?

Because you see very successful people make thing they don't like to do "Habits" (when something becomes a habit we don't have to think about doing it anymore it's automatic)

Call to Action:

1. Choose a Goal that you will apply learned information toward

2. Each week make 1 Idea you learn a "Habit"

Live life like you mean it and keep playing to win!

High achievers....doing the wrong thing perfectly.

2011-08-09T16:42:00.000-07:00

High achievers....doing the wrong thing perfectly.

Have you notice how even high achievers would rather do the wrong thing perfectly than try a new approach and suck at it until they perfect the new Habit?

We all know that "Sign of insanity is - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different Result" - It's never going to happen.
Why do you think that is?
It is fascinating in how many ways our Old Conditioning / Self Image is trying to stop us from improving our results.
You see, we will never surpass our Self Image, our Self Image dictates every step we take.Our Self Image is like a Cybernetic mechanism in a thermostat - it's set to achieve a certain goal and until we re-set we keep achieving the same results.

Now, what is Self Image?

Self Image is Image of Self - what we believe we can achieve, what we believe about ourselves.

Your Results in any area of life are a direct reflexion of YOUR Self image that is lodged deeply in your Subconscious Mind - that would be your Conditioned Mind.

Your Results are controlled by your actions and your actions are continually motivated by your Self Image.

Therefore the Results we achieve in our life, in all areas of our life have nothing to do with how intelligent, how smart we are or our level of education.

Do you know people that are brilliant but they are broke and unhappy or depressed?

It really makes no difference how much information we have in our head - what really makes the difference is what we do with that information, that is what makes the difference - the application, how we apply that what we know. And the application of what we know is controlled by our Self Image.

All of us we know we can do much better that we are doing. Why are we not doing it?

For example: If you have a Sales Team -The high achievers in Your sales team go trough the same training, they sit in the same meetings with the rest of your team, they are exposed to the same information. Yet, why is such a big difference between their achievements?

Or the person that wants to loose weight - trying really hard, getting some improved results - then they go right back to their initial weight or in most cases they add some extra weight.

Why?

Our Self Image dictates where we are going in life. And until we correct, re-set where our Self Image is pointing no real improvement, no quantum leaps will happen in our results - and we get results in all areas of our life - health, wealth, relationships....etc.

Having the tools to re-set our Self Image is a crucial element to our Success, to improved Results, improved performance.

Self development, understanding Self, understanding the role of our Mind and the role of our conditioning in improving our results will determine how much your results will change in the next year and the year after and so on.

So if you feel that your results in any area of life have not improved dramatically doesn't matter how much you try, how much you work, how much education you have - the reason probably is your Self Image.

Please share your experience with us, and if you have any related questions please don't hesitate to ask.

How to shift from survival mode to growth mode.

2011-07-26T04:31:00.000-07:00

How to shift from survival mode to growth mode.

Thinking is the highest function we are capable of - wherever we are there is an energy flowing into our consciousness - and that energy has no form we give it form - and we have the ability to choose if that form is positive or negative. And that's what thinking is.
Thinking is bringing form from nothing. It's putting it into something. Building a picture- an Idea.

We do not have to accept what IS coming at us from the outside - so when the information comes in we stop and think about it - ask ourselves - Is this information going to serve me? If it doesn't we can reject it.

With the Conscious Mind - using our Reasoning factor we can think about all the information coming from outside / we have the ability to reject Ideas from the outside - and do not have to buy into the Idea that we're going to have a tough time.

Do you know that Our Sub-Conscious Mind can not reject any idea - and it can not differentiate between what is real and what is imagined - it must accept everything we give to it - we can use our Intellect to make better choices for ourselves - If we are going to use our Intellect we should use it for something constructive - and if we're going to get Emotionally involved - we should get emotionally involved with the Image / Idea that we Originate - and we WANT.

Do not allow your environment or CNN choose for you.

Call for Action: Take this week and start choosing the Ideas that you get emotionally involved with. Do not allow your environment to dictate how you feel.

Let me know if you have any questions on this subject. Would be my pleasure to answer them.

Live like you mean it.

Change others...not at all. Conform...not at all.

2011-07-19T06:29:00.000-07:00

Change others...not at all. Conform...not at all

Loving yourself a little more today than yesterday, and a little more tomorrow than today really is the most wonderful Journey, the Journey of personal growth, the Journey of Success in all areas of Life.
Loving Self allows us to walk around radiating inner peace,allows us to understand and love others in their uniqueness.
So, The Journey of becoming an effective leader for example begins with understanding self, loving self and leading self.
Unfortunately we have this habit of trying to change others instead of changing our own attitude.....How's that working for you? LOL.

Of course not very well.Focus on yourself, your attitudes and behaviour, focus on your relationship between you and yourself, will help you so much more.
As leaders we encourage and inspire change and growth, but others will choose to take part in a change driven environment or not based on our ability to motivate them.
An effective leader's job is to send people in a New Direction, towards a New Vision and that requires courage, understanding, motivation and trust.
I believe part of becoming an effective leader is knowing who we are and especially in this fast developing, leading edge environment Self Development is becoming a necessity.
Do you know who you are? Do you understand yourself?

Choose Beliefs that support where you are going in life.

2011-02-24T03:15:00.000-08:00

Choose Beliefs that support where you are going in life.

What are beliefs anyways?

Beliefs are simply thoughts we keep thinking nothing more, they are not "The Truth" they are just something we told ourselves often enough, until we started to believe them.
Over our lifetime we accumulate many beliefs, some that support and help us and others that hurt us.
I find that the beliefs that hurt us the most are some of the beliefs we have about ourselves.
So how and why would I hurt myself?
Let me give you a little example : many years ago in your childhood someone said to you "You are so disorganized" or "You will never be like...",or "You are just like ....." so you hear statements like this a few times and then you start looking for evidence to support that statement, and of course because when you are looking for something you'll find it, you keep noticing evidence of that.
Little do we know that all we need to do is just stop affirming that to ourselves and start looking for things that we believe are our strengths.
If you are on the wrong track, all you have to do is STOP and find a better track.
It is in your hands and in your best interest to empower yourself my friends, or you can keep doing the opposite.
So what do you choose starting today?

If what you are doing isn't working the way you want it to work, don't be afraid to change it , start approaching it a little different.

If you want to do better this year than you did last year, you must choose thoughts and beliefs that will take you in a different direction, right?

So, starting today, compliment yourself, use superlatives when you think and speak about yourself, choose beliefs that support where you are going in life.
It is in your hands and it is up to you.

How are you doing on that?

Life is an opportunity, capture it!

2011-02-04T02:58:00.000-08:00

Life is about choices.
There are two ways to start our day. We have a choice every day the moment we walk out our home to go one or two directions.
We can be the person determined to have a good attitude because you know that if you have a great attitude you can be with people that treat you with dignity and respect and care about you or we have the choice to be negative, angry, mad and hostile.
The choice up to us.
We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it’s a continuing choice.

It's Wednesday morning, 5 AM Ottawa Canada snow storm (-?°C) i didn't even dare check the temperature, I'm on Twitter (one of my favorite places for inspiration) as well as TV turned on - news are coming in, updates, warnings - and most of us still at home comfortable, warm (some even grumpy/no caffeine yet :) or irritated about the storm and the mess is about to start), and I really started to think about it : here they are, a dedicated group of people that make a choice to be our inspiring guides at 5/6 AM everyday and throughout the day, to bring their good positive attitudes and their creativity into our lives, to do it with a smile on their face, be uplifting and set a good start of the day for so many of us.

Dedicating this blog post to you, all media - TV, Radio, News papers - special thank you to the ones i interact with on Twitter and keep me updated about Ottawa events and good music - @CTVCanadaAM , @neilhedley , @AMorningOttawa, @ErinLannan , @daytimeottawa , @EZBreakfastShow , we appreciate what you do everyday, we appreciate the fact that you leave so many people with a feeling of increase and a positive start of the day, you make it easier to start our day with a smile and a good attitude.

Most important lesson - you teach us how we should start our day :)

Choosing your Attitude /The Power of Thoughts

If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellows will,
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can

Enthusiasm and belief can achieve more in a day than reason can accomplish in centuries.

To all of you for a very successful 2011.

Lorena Heletea
and i'm sure many others in Ottawa

Don't wait for others to treat you better, treat yourself better.

2011-02-01T12:46:00.000-08:00

Everything you see is a reflexion of your own Mental Attitude towards yourself.

Taking responsibility for your attitude, your behavior and results is probably the most important step on your way to improved Results in all areas of life.

When you focus on the negatives about a person or a situation - you are in the same vibration - in the same energy, that is the reason you notice what you notice about that person or that situation.

Every change in life begins with awareness and responsibility, you can not change your circumstances by blaming anybody or anything. Right?

Don't give your power away. If you blame, you allow others to control how you feel, to control your results in life.
When you blame you loose, you set yourself up for failure.

If I hear people say to me : But you don't understand she or he did this to me, or said this.....
My short answer is : Yes I do understand. But, does that change the situation in anyway? I guess your stuck then, aren't you?

People are so focused on proving how right they are about the situation they are in, they never get of that track, therefore they don't see they have choices.
You do have choices, lots of choices.

If you want to change your results, if you want to be a winner in life you must take responsibility for your actions, for your present results and your present circumstances.

How do you begin?
Ask yourself, what can I do different? How can I change my own attitude?
What beliefs/habits do I need to change? What behavior do I need to change?

Then go out and do it different, take responsibility for your results in life. Don't wait for others to treat you better, treat yourself better.

Empower yourself my friends. First and best victory is to conquer SELF.

How are you doing on that?

Soft Power Leading.

2011-01-26T02:49:00.000-08:00

Leading with "Soft Power".....

When you enter a conversation do you expect people to agree with you or you would rather leave people with an impression of increase?
Do you like to grow in awareness , learn from a situation - and by learning I mean sometimes we can learn what to do other times we can learn what not to do, or you would rather keep learning the same life lesson over and over again.
Because you see in life we keep getting "The same" Lesson until we learn it - we can not move to the next level of success or prosperity until we learn the lessons we must learn at the previous level.
Me personally don't write blog post or comments on other posts so I get every one's approval - growth is part of life, growth is part of the journey we are on, growth is going from one goal to another towards our Purpose.

I love reading other people's comments so I can understand and a different point of view, so I can learn a different way of approaching a problem or a goal of mine - a different way of thinking.

Approaching something slightly different next time around will give me different results right? That being the truth I believe it serves me to stay open minded to new ideas and not stuck in the same kind of thinking that created my current circumstance, my current level of success.

I strive to do better this year than I did the previous year and the year before - therefore change is inevitable.

One of the things that changed my life dramatically in the past few years was - learning and understanding more about myself, taking responsibility for my actions, my results my attitude and my own behavior.

Now what has attitude got to do with my results?

Everything.

A fascinating aspect of self development is I got to the point where by guiding my own attitude towards other people I can guide their attitude towards me....

If you are a Leader, you must understand that you your words will be better heard and understood if you guide people with your own attitude - which I call "Soft Power".

What approach to leading works best for you? What gave you best results?
In my next post I will get into this a little deeper.

Please share your experience with us.
To your Success.

Shake off what most people might perceive as failure.

2011-01-18T02:42:00.000-08:00

Shake off what most people might perceive as failure.

Talking to myself this morning, deciding what steps will I take today towards my Goal. And some mornings decisions are easy especially when things go your way and what you worked on gives you the results you expected... wright? You are inspired to take more action, that's when self-motivation is not a problem at all.
But what happens when for a couple of days things just don't go the way you wanted them to go, when it seams like everything is just biting you in the butt?
What happens then? How do you act, how do you decide to use your energy then, will make the difference and always has.
Passion, persistence, stepping out of our comfort zone, and most important getting back up after failure...these are the traits of a true champion! Getting up again and doing it different and better.
How do I find the inner power? How do I keep advancing? How do very successful people do this?
It takes confidence and self belief. You can have all the knowledge in the world all certifications, diplomas but nothing will help you if you don't believe in yourself.

Do you know you can have all the plans in the world - but if you don't work on your mindset you'll be stuck there for a while.
We must spend as much time on the MINDSET for SUCCESS as we are on the marketing and planning and all that which will be useless without the mindset for success.

The Success JOURNEY is one of the most profound personal growth Paths you can take.
And any new level of success you achieve becomes a new level of personal growth.

We all have amazing talent and potential within us.
How do you use yours?

Hope you give this some serious thought so you don't have to be stuck there for a while.

Please leave your comments or questions bellow.

Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

2011-01-12T11:17:00.000-08:00

Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

Starting 2011 - we can get into it like a lost sheep or WE CAN Make up our Mind we are going to do it Big , we are going to do it Different.
So, I decided to go for the second. What did you decide?
The way I look at it : If what we are doing isn't working the way we want it to work, don't be afraid to change it , start approaching it a little different, right?
Sounds easy enough.
I mean Commitment to a New Goal it's easy, no big deal (especially for the first 2 weeks of the New Year ha,ha,ha) but buying into it, keep our commitment, creating new habits and beliefs not so.
Choosing New Habits and committing to a new way of doing things is an Art I would say.
So if you decided to do it different and by that I mean do it better and bigger this year, here are some aspects you could incorporate in the process, because changing habits is a process, a system.
1. Don't change things by fighting existing reality, to change things you need to create a New Model - that makes the existing model obsolete.
2. Write it down - make your commitment in writing, sign it and give your written commitment to someone you respect and trust - This is like a Policy against failure. Make 2 copies and keep one.
3. Read your commitment out loud every morning - first thing in the morning and just before going to bed.

And here we go getting into Habits again...hum, fun part begins.
ACT!

P.S. Now make sure your signature means something, something as simple as keeping your promise to yourself will build or chip at YOUR SELF IMAGE.

Please share your experience with us and if you have any questions please ask, it would be my pleasure to compare ideas with you.

Do you believe it's Talent or Practice?

2010-12-16T02:51:00.000-08:00

Do you believe it's Talent or Practice or Hard work?

If you rely on talent to get you there, will it get you there? Where?

Well, where you're going in life. Where are you going? What do you really want?

And before you'll be willing to make the kind of commitment that is required to get there my friend, you must have a very clear answer to that question.

So, don't read any further until you make a commitment that you'll take 30 min. today and write down the answer to that question.

Do you believe you'll achieve higher levels of success if you poses innate talent for excelling in your field?

OR

Do you believe very specific practice will get you to higher levels of success?

If you have the right answer and you believe that, there is a chance that you will do the work that is necessary to achieve high level performance, to achieve world class levels of success.

So what do you choose to Believe?

Please share with us your answer?

Stop seeing yourself the way you are; start seeing yourself the way you want to be.

2010-12-15T03:15:00.000-08:00

Stop seeing yourself the way you are; start seeing yourself the way you want to be.

How fascinating.
While doing some Self Development, practicing some things....that I must improve in(I do actually have some of those) ha,ha,ha, I found myself just part paying attention to what I was doing, while another part of my energy was focussed on worrying about not making a decision on flight to beautiful scuba-diving destination "Corn Island"....

Re-focus Lorena, re-focus! So, I do, just to find myself off track again....Then the fascinating part happens.
This "little voice" said : It's O.K. Lorena, you always figure out how to do it in the end anyways.

Good "little voice"! Supportive, powerful,empowering, building on Self Image. But is this always the case? Am I always empowering myself? You know what mean?
Then I stopped to think: It might be worth making a habit of listening to what I say to myself in other circumstances as well. What do I believe about myself in other areas of life?
You know, our beliefs can make us or break us. Our beliefs can help us move towards our Purpose, Vision, Goals or in the opposite direction, or away from.
It is our BELIEFS that will take us towards higher levels of success in all areas of life.

Call to Action :
Take time today and think, I mean really think.
What are your beliefs? Your core beliefs? The ones that you act on without giving it any thought.
Write it down.

Will pick it up here in our next post and take next step, to replace some of our beliefs that don't serve us any longer.
Please leave your thoughts below.

Giving 2011 another try the old way? Or you DECIDE to improve your Results?

2010-12-13T03:22:00.000-08:00

Giving 2011 another try the old way? Or you DECIDE to improve your Results?

You know in your heart that if your don't change your approach to what you do, you will end up in the same place, getting the same RESULTS by the end of 2011. Right?
Remember the saying : Clear sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different Results.
You can DECIDE to change/ improve your results in all areas of your life , wealth, health, relationships, you have the power to make an "irrevocable DECISION" to approach your goals with a different set of Habits and Beliefs in 2011.
Do you think you spent enough time waiting for the economy, for other people, for your circumstances to change?
Tell you the truth : Nothing is going to change until YOU Change.
If you believe that everything and everyone else is the Cause or your problems your going in circles my friends.

It all begins with you. You'll be surprised how everyone changes when you change.

Call to Action: Take 15 min. today and write down what do you Believe about yourself, what do you Believe you can achieve.

Next post will talk about how what you believe about yourself will dictate how you spend your days, your years, your life.....

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and share your experiences with us.

Here is the secret to success: Work like hell!

2010-12-08T03:30:00.000-08:00

Here is the secret to success: Work like hell!

Self Development is becoming more and more my favorite thing to do. And if you frame the definition of Self Development right, you can make everything that happens during any day a Lesson / an opportunity to grow in awareness or as a human being.

A Lesson in what we want to Be or do, or a Lesson on what we don't want to Be or do.
Blaming other people or our circumstances, not taking Responsibility for our Actions, for our thoughts, our Results in all areas of life will just send you around and around in circles your entire LIFE.
We can't change other people. We know that....Right?
The only thing we can change in life is our awareness, how we approach a situation the next time around. In other words taking responsibility and approaching a situation or a person differently next time around.
The question is how do we grow in AWARENESS?

Well, Successful people get it done in one easy step… the extra one!

Study/Learn everyday, take time for Self Development everyday, Practice everyday.

And most important crate NEW HABITS continuously / habits that will take you towards your Purpose, Vision and Goals.

Practice becoming better at what you do both personally and professionally everyday.
Sounds easy enough?Right?
But, if it's so easy WHY most people are not doing it?

You were not Programed to do it "That Way", and a lot of the things you do must be Re-Programed, well that's if you want to improve what you do, improve your life, your success.

Most of us can't do it alone. We need mentors to help us look at thing from a different prospective, help us get out of our Comfort Zone on regular bases, create new habits, stay motivated and taking steps daily.

Call to Action : Make 2011 different, take a Quantum Leap on this beautiful Journey you are on. Life is short my friends, make the best of everyday you've got.

DO THE THINGS YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IN THIS LIFE.

Surround yourself with people that know where they are going in life,people that are going somewhere specifically, find a mentor to get you out of your Comfort Zone daily.

Make a decision to start TODAY you've already waited enough, you've been in the same position in life enough.
Grow , take the extra step my friends.

Share with us your commitment to do better in 2011. What is your first step?

Don't give away your power... Join "The 1%" Group

2010-12-02T03:35:00.000-08:00

Isn't it interesting how we give other people and circumstances credit for our challenges in life?

Don't give away your power my friends...

Have you noticed that there's the Group of people that I call "The 1% " that have the "Anything is possible" attitude, and the willingness to take action & they excel far greater in life than those who blame others for their limitations.

"The 1%" choose their thoughts, their feelings and their actions. Always!

Call to ACTION : Starting Today make a decision to keep your energy focused on where you are going in life,on your Purpose, keep your focus on Improving yourself, drop yesterday's mistakes and just focus your energy on how you can do "Today" better.

Write down one area of your life where you are limiting yourself. Then, write out your dream results in that area.

All the "Results" you have manifested in your life are a result of your thoughts.

Talking to successful people provokes us to grow, to think biger, to think in dimensions in which the average person never goes to, change the direction of our life. Surround yourself with people that have positive attitude and know where they are going in life, who have a Purpose.

And remember focusing on what you don't like about you takes away any energy you have to change it.

The Fixed Habit I need to create to achieve my Goal. 90 Day Challenge.

2010-11-30T03:58:00.000-08:00

The Fixed Habit I need to create to achieve my Goal. 90 Day Challenge.

To improve Results in any area - be that taking our business to the next level, increase our Sales Performance, Weight loss, Improve our Relationship (s) - we must apply a few New Rules until their application becomes a Fixed Habit of ours.
Sporadic or occasional application of the Rules will be of no value to you.

The Achievement of any New Goal starts with Persistence. Persistence - is the essential factor in Changing/ Improving your Results.
The basis of Persistence is the power of WILL.

We must build an Image of our Goal and keep planting the Image in UR Subconscious Mind until the Image manifest into Form.
In other words forget the past, build a New Image of yourself and buy into it. We buy into it trough repetition, day in and day out.
And let me tell you my friends, that is about the only difference between the very successful and the not so....
The very successful are not any brighter than anyone else, they just learned to do day in and day out what the not so successful are not willing to do.

It is their PERSISTENCE that separates them from the rest.
In our next post we will be talking about our Intellectual Factors and how we can use them to take quantum leaps towards our Goals.

First Intellectual Factor - WILL.

Please share with us any ideas you might have.
Thank you.

Taking responsibility for your actions is an absolutely necessary step for advancement, growth and #SUCCESS.

Today - please take 15-30 min. and write down in what area of your life you think you are stuck getting "THE SAME RESULTS" - over and over and over.....year after year, after year.
Could be your Relationship (s), your Finances, your Health,etc. - write it down, then think of 3 things you know that if you would do different starting TODAY, those Results would change. Write down the 3 things as well.

Please write it down. Remember ! Who doesn't do step NR.1 will never do Step NR.2

If you are not changing your ATTITUDE, you are choosing it....

2010-11-25T03:38:00.000-08:00

If you are not changing your ATTITUDE, you are choosing it....

So, here we are on our 90 Day Journey towards Calm, Peaceful,more Aware Confident Self. In the next few months I will help you guide yourself towards better understanding why you do some of the things you do or why you don't do some of the things you want to do.

You know it is so easy to remain a victim of the past, and I have this conversation with many clients and friends on regular basis.

Unfortunately we have not been thought in school how to think, how to behave,how to understand ourselves (basic things wright?)
But even more important to take responsibility for our own Attitude and Results in all areas of life. And I promise you something as long as you think / blame other people or circumstances for your Results in any area of life you are stuck my friends.
As long as you believe that for you to get better you have to change everybody else or to send everybody else to the psychologist you are going around and around in circles.
DO YOU KNOW WHY?

Because you can only control your own Actions, Reactions and most important YOUR OWN ATTITUDE - nobody else's.

Let me give you a great example: Two days ago I was talking to one of my clients (she is very upset with someone in her life) - and she asked me : Well, what would you do if he did ........to you? My answer : First he didn't do it to you - nobody can do anything to you without your approval. Second - a few years back I would have done exactly what you are doing - today I would control my own ATTITUDE, mind my own business and wait for the person to raise to my own level of awareness.

The only level you should be debating at is your own. Because that is the one you are a "Pro" at. If you allow others the get you to their level, they'll beat you with experience.

So, what do you choose?

Do you choose to be right or you choose to stay CALM, CALCULATED, PATIENT?

Please share your experience with us so we can all learn.

AS A MAN THINKETH
BY
JAMES ALLEN

Serenity

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.
A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought-evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought. As he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.
The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Even the ordinary trader will find his business prosperity increase as he develops a greater self-control and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a man whose demeanor is strongly equable.
The strong calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweet-tempered, balanced life? It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character which we call serenity is the last lesson culture; it is the flowering of life, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold - yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money-seeking looks in comparison with a serene life - a life that dwells in the ocean of Truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the Eternal Calm!
"How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of self-control. How few people we meet in life who are well-balanced, who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!"
Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.
Tempest-tossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this - in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are smiling, and sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does but sleep; wake Him. Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power.
Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"

90 Day Self Development Calm, Confident Challenge

2010-11-23T04:44:00.000-08:00

90 Day Self Development Calm, Confident Challenge

My life changed dramatically when I decided to improve my own Attitude. Both in business and in my relationships.

You know, staying calm under any circumstance is a choice, self-control is a choice.
As adult, thinking human beings we can make that choice.
First place to start is awarness. In my case I started to be aware that I could do a better job in some areas like : being more patient, more understanding, and most important guiding my own attitude.
As we all know, making a Commitment it's easy, but living into it not so.
To keep a commitment requires daily self development,self study,new information in the area of human potential/ self development, understanding and aplication of the new information.
Studying with and being mentored by one of the most wonderful people on this planet Bob Proctor helped me understand that the only way to get to a more calm, relaxed, peaceful, confident me was trough creating a New Habit and replacing the old habit that was not giving me the results I wanted anymore.
Now the question is : how do we create a New Habit?
And the answer is: trough repetetion just like we created the current habits that we have, some good and some not so good.

The purpose of self-discipline is to build habits. Winners do daily what losers do occasionally as my friend Randy Gage would say.
So, some of the things I expleined above might give you the answer to why so many people fail at keeping a commitmen, any kind of commitment, like New Year resolution for example, or just our simple everyday promisses to ourselves like : I'm never going to do that again...fail.

So in the next 90 Days I will guide you towards improved, calm, confident, patient, more aware you.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.
So, to begin find here the page that we will all read, understand and apply.

If you have any questions or if you would like me to expand on a topic please feel free to ask. We are a team.

Today is my first day on WordPress so for now I'll have a post here as well as on Blogger, untill I figure out how to maximize this experience.

Endless planning to take.... Action!

2010-11-09T03:40:00.000-08:00

Endless planning to take action! Or, I'll do that as soon as....

Do you find yourself in the position where you have lots of aspirations but you are stuck?
You have been planing for the last few years but another year has gone by and you are in the same place as you were last year....

There are many absolutely brilliant people that never take action, they are forever in a confused state.
WHY?
Do you think it is a Self Image problem? Most probably so.

Our Self Image will dictate every single move we make.

Now you might ask yourself what is Self Image?

Self Image is nothing more than what we believe about ourselves, what we believe we can achieve. And let me tell you something that you really need to know if you ever want to achieve higher results in life. You will never out perform your Self Image.

If you want to improve your results it just makes sense that you have to improve you.

First place to start is Self Development. To be able to guide self trough life one must understand self. All great achievers understand self, they take time everyday to grow as human beings.

Another very important step would be to set a goal that you don't know how to achieve. Goals are to grow, the purpose of a Goal is growth.

You have to go after what you really want. The prerequisite is you got to want it. And if you don't want it the first little bump in the road and you'll quit.So, go after what you really want.

Then I think your goals should be illogical, should be unrealistic, you've got to break trough that logic barrier that is controlled by your paradigm.

Call to Action:
1. Imagine yourself doing all the things you want, go wherever you want, when you want, hanging out with the people you want.

2. Write down How your Perfect Day looks like.

So, spend some time really thinking and writing and we'll pick it up where we left it in our next post.

To your Success.

Success doesn't happen by accident.

2010-10-28T05:08:00.000-07:00

Success doesn't happen by accident, you must look for the circumstances you want and if you don't find them YOU MAKE THEM.

Napoleon use to say : Circumstances??? Hell, I make them"
So go out everyday and create the circumstance that are necessary for achieving your next Goal.
There's nothing better than setting and achieving meaningful goals - goals that bring people alive. But you know what is even more fascinating and rewarding? It is the person we become while working towards the big goals, vision, purpose.

Taking responsibility, taking action and recognizing that you can do something about the circumstances you might be in and that it is totally in your hands will take you faster towards where you are going in life.

Most people allow themselves to be overwhelmed and depressed, just blaming the circumstances, blaming everything and everybody and living life like this is a practise run and like they'll be able to come back and do it perfect next time around.

Most people don't understand one thing: "THIS IS IT FOLKS". We've got to give it everything we've got and live life at it's best, enjoying every single day to the fullest.

Understanding self and walking around everyday with peace of mind, knowing that we can totally control and guide our Attitude (Attitude is a composite of Thoughts + Feelings + Actions = Results) - can not be described, must be felt. Find a Mentor/Coach that will guide you toward that feeling of empowerment.

Success doesn't happen by accident, you must commit to put in time, effort and money to achieve your next worthy Goal.
Commitment is deciding that the price is worth paying for the goal that will e achieved.

Commitment is one of those things, realities that doesn't’t really take hold until is difficult….

Give your Commitment to someone - your Mentor/Coach and ask them make sure you do what you promised you'll do.
Being Committed and accountable to someone - is like an Insurance Policy against failure..

Have a clear understanding that we need to commit to doing what we want in life and if that is really what we want from the core of our being we'll figure out how to do it. And that to achieve bigger goals and to get into a bigger game it takes a Definite Commitment, it never happens by accident.

As you work toward your Big Goals enjoy your Journey of growth and prosperity. I sure enjoy every second.

May only good come your way.

Three steps to Change Your Income....

2010-09-28T03:15:00.000-07:00

Three steps to Change Your Income....

You Don't have to figure out how to get there before you leave? Just START.....Start by guiding your own Energy.

*Choose your Goal

*Choose the thoughts that will set your body in the vibration that is necessary to attract the circumstances and the people that are necessary to ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL
*STAY IN THAT VIBRATION.

Do you know that your Energy is forever moving into form?
And guess what? You can choose if it's Positive or Negative Form.
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT CHOOSES/GIVES IT FORM.

All the great Leaders for Centuries have agreed that "We become what we think about" so wouldn't it be smart to choose your THOUGHTS carefully?

When we choose a negative thought, it is negative energy that leaves our body, that negative vibration can only attract negative circumstances and people in the same type of energy. How do you like that?

Winners, in life as in poker, aren't dealt better hands. Winners play the hands they are dealt better.

Very successful people EXPECT SUCCESS, THEY EXPECT TO WIN. They believe they can achieve everything they set their mind to.

Your Actions are caused by the vibration you are in. Think positive, believe you can do it. Now go out and ACT on it.....

You see most people are extras in their own movie. - You can choose to be the Director of yours....

Be an Achiever! Most people tip-toe trough life hoping they'll make it safely to death.
To Achieve better Results, great Success, to win in a BIG WAY we've got to get out of our Comfort Zone....Aim High in Life.

NR.1 Find a Mentor/ Coach

NR.2 SET SPECIFIC GOALS

NR.3 ALTER Your SELF IMAGE BECAUSE YOUR RESULTS IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE ARE ALWAYS A REFLEXION OF YOUR SELF IMAGE.

Example : IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR INCOME BUT YOU DON'T CHANGE YOUR SELF IMAGE YOUR GOING TO BE DEAD IN THE WATTER, IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.(It is your Self Image that dictates what you believe you can achieve)

YOU SEE WE ARE ALL TRYING TO GET TO A POINT WE ARE NOT AT - WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS, WE ARE SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS ALL THE TIME....

"The first and best victory is to conquer self." - Plato

You are the one who wants better Results right? If you are in sales you are the one that wants more Commission. So doesn't it make sense that you will have to IMPROVE YOUR SELF?

Abundance is, in large part, an attitude.
My definition of ATTITUDE is the Composite of THOUGHT + FEEL + ACTIONS = RESULTS

First Laws of the Universe are ORDER AND MOVEMENT. Chaos, when left alone, tends to multiply.

The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.

The energy of the mind is the essence of life.

Sometimes in life you don't feel like a winner but that doesn't mean you're not a winner.

Please share your thought with us.

Listen : If you are not tough you'll quite.Weaklings quite.

2010-09-22T03:12:00.000-07:00

Listen : If you are not tough you'll quite.
Weaklings quite.

How do I approach each Day!!!

The truth is You have to be involved in a Mission with PASSION otherwise your going to work!
Also You have to be one tough cookie if you are going to win in a big way….
As I very often tell my clients: If it would be easy everybody would be #Successful, everybody would be doing what they love to do most on this planet and actually get payed to do it.

The sad truth is only 1 - 3 people out of 100 do it…

Yesterday alone two people told me how lucky I was that I am my own Boss,that I don't have to be at work by 8 AM, I make my own schedule and how much they would love to feel the way I do about their job.

No man you don't, if you have to tell me about it you are not prepared to do what is required, you've got to be tough if your going to win in A BIG WAY. You have to leave victim hood behind a few times/a day, and when you hit a wall that nearly knocks the daylight out of you.... you must treat it like that was normal.... Wasn't it???? Ha,ha,ha. And very important: learn from your Lesson and keep going.

Oh, and almost forgot to tell you this and if you didn't LEARN YOUR LESSON you'll keep getting the same Lesson until you will learn it...
In any Project there are escape patches…and if U don't weld those escape patches closed I guarantee you'll hit them, you will.

And if your not strong you don't deserve to win. That's about the way it works.

So here's the answer:

What you do with your life is in your hands!!! We should only do what we absolutely love o do. We only have one life to live. This is not a practice run, THIS IS IT.
We don't get a second chance. Give it all you've got, do what your passionate about and do it with all your heart....

P.S. And if you are my client my promise to you is : I will not do my best - I WILL DO WHATEVER IS REQUIRED TO HELP YOU AND ME WIN IN BIG WAY.

To your # SUCCESS

Reshape your Confidence.The SUCCESS ZONE - Is a way of thinking

2010-09-07T05:29:00.000-07:00

Reshape your Confidence. The SUCCESS ZONE - Is a way of thinking.

What is Confidence? How do you define Confidence?

For me CONFIDENCE is Belief in myself with every cell of my body.
Believing that I can do and achieve everything I set my mind to. The ability to give myself a command and finding the strength to follow trough. Take full responsibility for my actions and Learn from mistakes. Take Risks and always, always go the Extra Mile.

The ability to take action regardless of the obstacles in my way.
Choosing to always focus on finding the solution in stead of focusing on the problem.

But I think most important, constantly choosing to STEP FORWARD INTO GROWTH instead of stepping back into Safety when a New opportunity to Grow presents itself.

To achieve a New Goal - it's never possible without feeling uncomfortable - Why is that?

Well, to achieve a New Goal means becoming somebody we have never been before, becoming a person with a higher Level of Awareness.

How do you define CONFIDENCE?

May Success come your way in all areas of life.

I think THE BIGGEST MISTAKE A LEADER CAN MAKE..& YOU?

2010-09-01T14:20:00.000-07:00

I think THE BIGGEST MISTAKE A LEADER CAN MAKE… and YOU?

What an interesting variety of answers...wow, love it, love it - i think my level of awareness grew by 100 centimeters...LOL. See what it does to yours.

Earlier I was watching a very empowering video and you know as a coach my mind is just fascinated with the variety of points of view and definitions of words or phrases and how people see,understand or define the same word or circumstance in a completely different way.

So here are some of the answers of some great Leaders in no particular order.

NR.1 Being Certain.

As we know things are rapidly and constantly changing, things are unpredictable. We can't act as if we know. When you think you know u don't pay any attention anymore, why bother, you know it already. A Leader should learn to exploit the Power in uncertainty. (Love this one.)

NR.2 Betraying Trust.
Absolutely, I mean who will give it her or his best to someone they don't trust.

NR.3 Not living up to their values.

NR.4 Being so enamored with their Vision that they loose all capacity for Self doubt.
True, what are the voices you are disenfranchising.

NR.5 Personal arrogance.
Creates social distance and power distance - which is demotivating and could lead to big mistakes.

NR.6 Acting to fast before thinking trough the issue.
Take a step back seek advice and approach with a new VISION OF where you are going

NR.7 It's all about the Leader.
It has to be about something larger than yourself…

NR.8 Not being authentic and consistent.
Be the same nice human being at all times.

NR.9 Not be Self reflective.
Great Leaders are constantly reviewing their behavior, thinking about developing themselves and how their behavior effects other people.

My Opinion is:
NR.10 Being judgemental.
When people feel judged we loose all power to influence them. And as Leaders we have to send people in a New direction towards a New Vision.As a Leader you must influence the thoughts feelings and ACTIONS of those you Lead. And that requires a lot of understanding.

Please share your points of view below and if you are a Leader take a few minutes and reflect. Are you making any of this mistakes?

L.

Have a very Successful Year.

How do I change my focus from "THE PROBLEM?"

2010-08-24T06:00:00.000-07:00

Replacing Conditioning for SUCCESS!

All Great Leaders have agreed that "We become what we think about"...

So why are there so many people that are extras in their own movie?

Take a little time today and think about the next phrase: To become more successful we must become the Director of our own movie....

But where do we start?

Well, Self development is a great place to start, understanding and guiding Self, letting go of resentment, focusing on finding the "Solution" not focusing on"The Problem" will improve your results faster than anything.

Two of my clients asked me yesterday: "How do I change my focus from THE PROBLEM?" I wake up and I feel down, I'm negative and sad.

Do we agree that we can not solve "The Problem" at the level of "The Problem"? Or that we CAN'T use the same kind of thinking that created the problem to solve the problem! Right?

I think it would be safe to say that we need to change our Attitude.

ATTITUDE is a composite of THOUGHT + FEELING + ACTION = RESULTS

As we know our Energy is forever moving into form, and we can choose if it's Positive or Negative Form...Everything "Just IS" - it is neither positive or negative until we give it form.

Our Actions are caused by the vibration we are in....an our vibration is caused by the pictures we think to focus on, we bring positive pictures to our Mind we think positive,we feel positive, we ACT based on that vibration.....WE GET POSITIVE RESULTS.

Probably some of you are saying....yes Lorena, easier said than done.
No, it is not but trough repetition can be achieved.

Stradivarius did not become great over night....like all great achievers he became great trough repetition, practice etc.

You see thinking positive, speaking positive, feeling positive, looking for solutions etc. are Habits that we create.

We create them trough REPETITION and PERSISTENCE the same way we created our Old Way of Thinking....

Just think for a minute, It took you your entire life to create the good "Old Conditioning" you've been using up until this point.... you invested a lot of years and energy in it,you have a lot of practice using it, you've put a lot of effort into it right?
The next question I usually get is: Do you mean it's going to take as many years to change it?

No absolutely not, but don't disappoint yourself by expecting to change over night.

There are no prizes for finding negativity .....we must find our positive way in life if we are looking to change the direction we take in life.

The opposite of Courage is not cowardliness it's conformity…..it's just moving with the crowd…doing what everybody is doing, doing what you've been doing your entire life.

So What do you really want in life?

Are you committed to make the changes necessary to achieve it?

Please leave your thoughts below.

To your success.

How to form the 'HABIT' of making and keeping your RESOLUTIONS...

2010-08-17T07:19:00.001-07:00

It is their Conditioning that will say "NO" to your offer...

How to form the 'HABIT' of making and keeping your RESOLUTIONS...

Any resolution or decision you make is simply a promise to yourself
that isn't worth a tinker's dam until you have formed the HABIT of making it and keeping
it.

And you won't form the HABIT of making it and keeping it unless right at the start
you link it with a definite purpose that can be accomplished by keeping it.

In other words, any resolution or decision you make today has to be made again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next, and the next, and so on. And it not only has to be made each day, but it has to be KEPT each day for if you miss one day in the making or keeping of it, you've got to go back and begin all over again. But if you continue the process of making it each morning and keeping it each day, you will finally wake up some morning a different person in a different world, and you will wonder what has happened to you and the world you used to live in.

Here's what has happened.
Your resolution or decision has become a habit and you don't have to make it on this particular morning. And the reason for your seeming like a different person living in a different world lies in the fact that for the first time in your life, you have become master of yourself, and master of your likes and dislikes by surrendering to your purpose in life.
That is why behind every success there must be a purpose and that is what makes purpose so important to your future.
For in the last analysis, your future is not going to depend on economic conditions or outside influences or circumstances over which you have no control. Your future is going to depend on your purpose in life. So let's talk about purpose.....

Ha,ha,ha.....in our Next Post we will talk about Purpose

Until then read this over and over again... make it a Habit

LH

Will tell you where this part is from...

Surround yourself with people who shall make you what you can be.

2010-08-12T06:47:00.000-07:00

Surround yourself with people who shall make you what you can be.

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd." James Crook- in other words if you want to be a Leader you can't follow the crowd, the masses right? You must do it differently, you must be unique, you must go in a different direction, and leave the Status Quo( "statu quo") behind.

Are you a Leader or a Follower? You can be in either category, the world needs and rewards both...

Choose Today to start learning about you!I mean really know yourself.
How are you going to change your approach if you are using the same kind of thinking?

You see, as my mentor Bob Proctor(one kind, ready 2 help human being..love the man) would say "We've seen the enemy and it's us"(Pogo)....this battle is strictly between me and myself. It's me,me, my fault - nobody else's.
Under any circumstance the person I should have a conversation with is always available for consultation....(Me).

Nobody and no circumstances can hurt me without my approval! We allow another Person or a Circumstance to hurt us or not. But they need our consent.

Start recreating the person you want to become and the results you want to achieve in life : First Step - TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!!!

If you want to reshape Your Life you MUST leave "Victim hood" behind.

If you want to be a Leader you first need to learn to LEAD YOURSELF.

And how can I do that?

Well First Step - If I want to lead Me - I better know who me is....right?

I hear more and more people start on the Journey of Self Improvement!Happy for you!

Self Improvement has different Forms, but I tell you if you make Self Improvement a Habit,a Priority in your day...i mean right next to "brushing your teeth" - your on your way to a life as a "Magnificent Adventure"

Failure and success both begin in the mind. ~S.Whyte

Habits and Attitude will move you in whatever direction you choose……

2010-08-05T04:47:00.000-07:00

Habits and Attitude will move you in whatever direction you choose……

Every time you fall, you can choose to fall forward…
You will bounce back…..maybe not to the same place or to the same you but you will bounce back...

One of the things most of my clients struggle with I find (all of us actually), is letting go of Old Conditioning, old Beliefs that don't serve them any longer, as a matter of fact it actually stops their growth and hurt them everyday.

Please give next phrase a lot of thought!

Don't live with the results of other people's thinking.P. Martinelli

What do I mean by that?

We have been Conditioned to accept many Limitations (we have been dragging some of our past into the Future.

You have the power to control what enters your Sub Conscious Mind, process the new information using some critical thinking and change the Old Conditioning.

Life begins when you are ready……not a minute before and not a minute after. A Sutcliffe

Have you noticed that a lot of people go trough life with what I call "Yes, but" Attitude. They allow past experiences to control their Present and their Future, control the way they feel....Makes me so sad. They don't seam to understand that they are in complete control of how they feel.

Everything other people say or do "JUST IS" is neither good nor bad, you give it Form....and you can give it Positive or Negative Form.

The greatest inspiration can be born from adversity so stay open minded and LEARN, then move on.
Back to balance, back to business and yes back 2 success….
In our next post we will talk about steps to Create a positive, winning ATTITUDE.

Please share your thoughts with us.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading

2010-07-28T10:10:00.000-07:00

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

"I have had this thinking for so long… it just seems second nature". ….

Have you ever stopped to think how conditioned you are? How most of your responses are on autopilot, you don't even think about what you do or how you respond to any situation? You've been doing it your entire life…..so, you must be right!

You even hear people say things like: This is who I am!

Can you imagine? We define ourselves by our Conditioning, by our Beliefs and Habits.

Not so, that's not who you are. That's your Conditioning nothing else.And you can totally change that....

Tell you something even scarier - You and I are the product of someone else's habitual way of thinking - Your Subconscious Mind was programmed by someone who new very little about your potential.

Challenge you to take some time this week to think about my previous statements and then I have some very important questions that I would like to ask you.

How are you going to change you RESULTS in any area of life if you don't change your approach?
How are you going to change your approach if you are using the same kind of thinking?

Are you going to use the same old excuses and allow others to dictate your Results in life, in all areas of your life? Or are you going to start Self Development?

As my mentor Bob Proctor would say: A clear sign of Insanity is to keep doing the same thing and EXPECTING different Results.

Our thoughts keep us powerfully connected to Source and Self, Sanity and Sweetness.
“How are you creating your World?”

Join me let's start first steps towards Self Improvement together.

Know who you are and you will change your life.

Since I started Daily Self Development my life changed like night and day. I have never felt so at peace with who I am in my entire life and I as a result I have the time and energy to focus on where I want to go in life as oppose to where I have been....

P.S. All we have to do is understand Self and change our thoughts, so we can have Time and money freedom - to do whatever we want, when we want to do it and to have the money to afford it.

Isn't that what life is about? To do whatever your little heart desires?

Self Development will take you where you want to go in life.

Share your thoughts.

Are you stuck in the Past? First Step to get UNSTUCK....

2010-07-20T07:18:00.000-07:00

Are you stuck in the Past?

One of the people I admire (a must follow) wrote a very cool Blog post @Randy_Gage
"How Programmed are You?" you can find the post here http://bit.ly/bPQDhn -
at one point he said:You decide you don’t like this trait in yourself, so you read a Wayne Dyer book and proclaim yourself cured. If only it was this easy…
We keep doing things the same way over and over again even when they hurt us for a reason Programing - Self Image and it's not going to change over night.

And you know something else, most people can't do it alone.

We are attached to our own opinions, to our own way of thinking, of doing things.

Let's find first Step to get UNSTUCK....

Just as every Company has a Corporate Image every person has a Self Image.

Science and Psychology has isolated the number 1 primary cause of Success or Failure and it is the hidden Image you hold of UR Self.
This Image controls your Mind just a surely as your Mind controls your Heart Beat -

If you want to know what kind of Self Image you have - you only have to look at your present Results- in various aspects of your Life.

Your Results in all areas of life - are the outer expression of your Inner Image.

As you start to alter your Inner Image - everything outside begins to change- and believe me it does, and it changes dramatically - I do live by this rule or Law of the Universe....

One of the greatest mistakes everyone makes is - they are attempting to change their income, their position, their business - their attempting to change something outside of themselves - without changing what is going on inside. And you know what? It's never going to happen.

Emerson said: - "Of what use to make heroic vows of amendment if the same Law Breaker is going to keep them".

How many times you hear people say I am going to change that....I'm never going to do that again but they don't change their Self Image and 10,20,30 year from now they keep doing it - because they never changed their Self Image.

Ex. Sales people know how to do a better job than they do but they don't seam to be able to do it, you know you can do a better job in your relationship but you don't seam able to do it.

WHY?

It is THE IMAGE YOU HOLD OF YOURSELF!

Trying to Change the Results in my life - in other words what is going on outside of me without changing what's going on inside - would be as foolish as trying to change my reflexion in a mirror without changing my physical appearance.

That's what people are doing - trying to change what is going on outside without changing what is going on inside.

And I know because until I found my mentor and this information I was one of those people.

So First Step to getting Unstuck is AWARENESS.

How do we increase Awareness?

Realize that The only thing that separates us from what we want is information….
Stop being a Victim of your Circumstances.

Create the Circumstances you need to achieve your Goals.

Bernard Shaw said : "People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in Circumstances. The people who get on in this World are people who get up, look for the circumstances they want and if they don't find them they make them".
So, stop fooling yourself.
Find a mentor and start studying, or you'll find yourself in the same position getting the same Results next year, the year after, etc.

Please share your experience with us.

Move Out of Your Comfort Zone by improving Self Image

2010-07-13T08:21:00.000-07:00

What do I have to do to change / change my Results?
Do I have what it takes to be a winner?
I have a lot of great Ideas but I never get any Results....

We reinforce poor Self Image…We perpetuate Self Doubt with dozens of Questions we ask ourselves everyday….

The Time to be a winner is Now not tomorrow - the key to being a Winner is to improve UR Self Image.

Avoid becoming attached to YOUR Opinions .....choose to grow....

Move Out of Your Comfort Zone by improving Self Image.

Make a decision today that what was, was and WHAT WILL BE IT'S UP TO YOU.

Your Self Image is your own conception of the kind of person you are. It determines what you believe you can achieve.

Your Self Image was very likely unconsciously formed from past experiences: your successes and failures, your humiliations and triumphs.

This Image you have of yourself will determine how you interpret other people's reaction to you and significantly affect your success in everything you are ever going to do.
Your Success in any undertaking will never be to a greater degree than the image you have of yourself.

The only way to improve our Results in any area of life is by learning about self, making Self Development an everyday Habit, learning new things, INVESTING IN OURSELVES (time and money) and most Important :It's not just about Reading and Learning - IT'S ABOUT UNDERSTAND AND APPLY THE NEW INFORMATION....

I'll leave you with something to think about....
Bernard Shaw once said "People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in Circumstances, the people who get on in this World are people who get up look for the circumstances they want and if they don't find them they make them.

Or how Napoleon put it very simple.... " Circumstances…hell I make them"

What are the circumstances you must create today to help you get closer to your Purpose, Vision, Goals?

If we want different results, we have to be committed to change

2010-07-07T09:16:00.000-07:00

If we want different results, we have to be committed to change.....

You know from my experience and just listening to people speak about themselves - what I hear is that they believe they are the person they are and they are stuck for life.

But as human beings we are designed to progress, to grow, to advance - everything around us changes, advances so fast that if we don't change and advance with it we are actually going backwards(there is no staying still).

Where do we start?
Well, I would say - Decide what you love to do and spend your life doing it...

Get out of you Comfort Zone - Change the way you do things, change the way you approach a discussion at work or in your relationship for example - one little change in your ATTITUDE will change your Results dramatically and you will take a completely different direction in life. Doing the same things the same way day in day out is boring.

Setting goals that you have already achieved and you know you can achieve? - there is no inspiration in that.
Set a big bold Goal that will scare you and excite you at the same time.

But see that's where most people are stuck - For your Results to Change - YOU HAVE TO CHANGE

Let me tell you something so, so true - to achieve a Bigger Goal - different Results in any area of life - professionally, relationship, financially, health - we must Change our Conditioning, we must let go of some of our most cherished Beliefs and Habits.

Only when our belief system changes, our world changes – our Self Image is changed....and most important our RESULTS change.

Don't forget to take it slow(be patient with yourself) because it took you your entire life to create your Conditioning(how about your last 4 generations) - because you know you inherited all kinds of Beliefs from your....grand grand parents, grandparents....etc. - so do not expect for that Conditioning to change over night - just because you made a decision on January 1 st. LOL

Choose a new Habit that you would like to change this week - think of something that you know that if you would do daily - your Results in your Business would change dramatically.

Me for example - have been on a Intense Daily Self Development Journey - there is nothing like understanding SELF / adjusting Image of Self in all areas of life -or learning how to control and direct my ATTITUDE in any circumstance.

This week's New Habit for me is - Get up @ 5AM to do Self Development and study (so I can improve my ability to do what I'm doing more effectively) 2h./daily -

How about you?

Stop seeing yourself the way you are; start seeing yourself the way you want to be

2010-06-22T10:15:00.000-07:00

Stop seeing yourself the way you are; start seeing yourself the way you want to be.....

I know, it feels overwhelming but I can say this to you from my own experience - chaos, when left alone, tends to multiply....so we absolutely must start creating the Self we want to become.

And don't just sit there and feel like you are a victim of your circumstances... you are not, you have infinite potential.

You are not alone, it is normal to feel overwhelmed, you can't possibly know everything, you are the best at what you chose to do for a living or what you are passionate about.

If you don't know enough about self development(and most people don't) find a mentor, a coach, someone who will bring clarity to your marvelous Mind, someone who will help you get out of your Comfort Zone and help you grow as a human being.

Someone who will help you set specific goals and help you alter your Self Image - BECAUSE OUR RESULTS ARE ALWAYS A REFLEXION OF OUR SELF IMAGE.....that is the ONLY way to achieve Success or better Results in your life (Financial, Health, Relationships).

Really successful people are not afraid to ask for help when they need it.

You must first see yourself Successful, feel successful, feel good about yourself, believe you can achieve whatever you want to achieve.

As Plato would say : The first and best victory is to conquer self.

For Example : If you are trying to increase your Income without improving your Self Image you are dead in the watter.

You see, because Our Self Image dictates the Results we are getting IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE - we will never outperform OUR SELF IMAGE......

SELF IMAGE = What we believe about Ourselves = What we believe we can achieve

Next Post we'll take it a little further.....

What do you believe is the most important step in becoming more successful in life?

We tend to compare our weaknesses to other people's strengths..

2010-06-17T09:39:00.000-07:00

We tend to compare our weaknesses to other people's strengths...

Can you describe your Strengths as well as you can describe your weaknesses?

To remake your Self Image is to remake your life.

Our Self Image can be our biggest support or our most difficult challenge. How do you chose to see yourself?

Success = Self Image

So let's see how Self Image will control our Results in all areas of life and how we can use it to better our Results.

Our Self Image was formed by our past experiences.

Do You know that the smallest negative incidents(failures) from your past (1,5 10 years ago) can still influence your Results today and 50 years from now if you don't understand how that works and how you can change it?

Is that's what you choose to remember about yourself?

This is actually the reason I'm writing this blog post today.

A few days ago while asking one of my clients questions to determine where we are at (where we begin) she described some of her weaknesses with unbelievable accuracy.

So I said, you know when we learn how to describe all our strengths with same exact accuracy we are all set.

You know why?

It is because when we begin to focus on all our successes, our strengths, victories - our Self Image starts to change - our feelings, our vibration starts to change and there for our RESULTS start to change.

Thought = Feelings = Actions = RESULTS

Your Self Image controls your Mind just a surely as your Mind controls your heartbeat.

The degree to which you change is in direct proportion to the amount of truth you can accept and the amount of positive change you put into engineering your NEW SELF IMAGE.

Are you ready to change your Results? (financial, relationships, professionally)....

In our next post will take this a little further.

Please share some of your experiences with us.

As an example will take our financial RESULTS.

One cannot get New Results with Old Habits.....

2010-06-08T10:36:00.000-07:00

One cannot get New Results with Old Habits.....Period. Do we agree on that?

In our previous post http://ow.ly/1VMgm we talked about Self Image and how that impacts our results and that the level of success we achieve in our life is directly proportional to the Image we hold of ourselves - our SELF IMAGE.

OK, lets see how to approach this and today we are going to apply the information to our professional life.

Our Self Image is controlling the direction we take in life.

Are you trying to change your RESULTS?

Let me tell you a little Secret: If you don't change the Image you hold of you, your Results are not going to change.

So let's take this little chunks at a time.....

Maxwell Maltz explains - Cybernetics is the science of control and communication found in animal and some machines.

You know it's the Cybernetic mechanism in the thermostat that controls the temperature in your home?If the temp. drops the thermostat will bring it back to where you set it.

Let's take an airplane - the automatic pilot is a Cybernetic mechanism - the pilot sets it and the Cybernetic mechanism keeps the plane on course - any deviation and the Cybernetic Mechanism brings it back on course

The Cybernetic Mechanism in human beings is Our Self Image.

It is OUR SELF IMAGE THAT CONTROLS THE COURSE WE ARE ON

So, we said we will connect today's lesson to our professional life.

Example : If you are a Sales Person selling $1.000.000 worth of product every year how do you think you can improve your sales when your Cybernetic Mechanism(Self Image) is set to achieve 1 mil.?

Or let's say you are an entrepreneur and you want to grow your business or if you want to interact differently with your colleagues at work how can you do that?

Well the only way is by changing your Self Image first.

- If you don't change the Image you hold of you, your Results are not going to change because your Cybernetic Mechanism is set to achieve exactly what you are achieving now.

What are your thoughts about this? Please leave a comment below and in our next post we'll talk about steps to change Self Image.....

Self Image - What do you really believe about yourself?

2010-06-03T07:34:00.000-07:00

The level of success we achieve in our life is directly proportional to the Image we hold of ourselves - our SELF IMAGE.

WHAT IS SELF IMAGE?

SELF IMAGE is - what we believe about ourselves, what we believe we can achieve.

This is all great stuff - but do you know that - we never deviate from this image unless we make a conscious decision to do so.

We may be inspired to become experts by studying the successes and failures of others. But we actually BECOME experts when we experience our own successes and thrive through our challenges.

Kenya K

Most people live and die and never fully understand the Power of Image Making.

The Image you hold of yourself is a foundation upon your entire personality is built.

This Image not only controls your behavior it also control your circumstances as well.

"What we believe, we achieve." or "The me I see is the ME I'LL BE"

And HABIT can be a Prison.

What do you believe about yourself? What do you honestly believe you can achieve?

Take some time over the weekend and give this some serious thought. Write it down, and in our next Post will talk about some tools that will help you Create The Image of our Self that will help you reach New Levels of Success.

Emotional Surgery? Learn to be your own plastic Surgeon!

2010-06-01T06:00:00.000-07:00

Emotional Surgery?

Learn to be your own plastic Surgeon!

We are a composite of hearth-aches and happiness of miss fortunes and good luck ...and we must realize that frustrations are there for us to rise above them and to turn them into a productive force of confidence.

What is CONFIDENCE? - is our capacity to rise above a mistake said M Maltz

For a more successful life we must learn to remove some of our emotional scars within us that we put there ourselves.

Great example of the best plastic surgeon is @Randy_Gage you can read his phenomenal Blog Post http://su.pr/2zVevd

We must learn to be our own plastic Surgeon! M Maltz

How can we do that?

Well, first place to start is to learn about self, understand self and most important to guide self.And we all have the ability to do that.

What do you know about yourself? Make sure you know something very nice about yourself...

We all have a combination of good and not so good memories, combination of failures and successes and we all have the ability to choose what are we going to focus on when we start our next Project or when we work toward achieving our next Goal or even more frequent when we start each and every day.

It takes as much effort to remember our successes as it takes to remember our failures. What do you choose for today?

HOW DO YOU USE YOUR MEMORY TODAY?

Us human beings, operate based on our Self Image and we never deviate from that image, we do that in every area of our life, be that in our professional or personal life.

Self Image is - what we believe about ourselves, what we believe we can achieve.

Very Important - The Results I'm getting today are exactly as the picture I hold of myself....remember one of the good pictures from your past

So, for today take 5 minutes and remember some of your successes, some of the times you have been a victor.... and write them down.

Please share your thoughts with us.

Next time we'll look at Self Image a little deeper.

Change your RESULTS by conquering self .....

2010-05-27T04:50:00.000-07:00

Change your RESULTS by conquering self .....

In my previous post "How can I change everybody else?" http://ow.ly/1QzTx I talked to you about being on a fascinating journey in the last two months. Have been growing as a human being in the last 2 months more than ever before, and believe me I have never seen people around me "Change so much".... LOL

Today I will share with you one of the phrases that I live by and please read it carefully multiple times it is very powerful:

There is NOTHING on the OUTSIDE OF YOU that can ever help you or hurt you - it is what's on the INSIDE that counts.

So, where do I begin?

Let's take the word "RESULTS" because this is what we get in every area of our life - professionally, in our relationships, our health, wealth etc. we get RESULTS right?

Thoughts ---> Feelings ---> Actions = RESULTS

What do I mean by this?

We think certain thoughts, this causes us to feel a certain way, causes us to ACT a certain way -- and gives us the RESULTS we are getting. Pretty cool explanation right?

Any aware person would like to better their RESULTS ( in some or in all areas of Life)..... and if this is you please write the next phrase down and start testing it:

"To change MY RESULTS, first I have to change MY THOUGHTS, which then will change my FEELINGS and ACTIONS"

Please share your thoughts below and we will pick it up here in our next post.

P.S. Fascinating, one of my favorite people on this Planet @Randy_Gage wrote a Blog post http://ow.ly/1QCfO on the same topic "Are you taking responsibility for your marriage, friendships and other relationships? Or are you playing the blame game about your partner?"

You don't want to miss his Blog Posts - He is AMAZING.

How can I change everybody else?

2010-05-19T13:14:00.000-07:00

How can I change everybody else?

Life and human beings are so fascinating! So is self development.

Have been on a fascinating journey lately and I will share my experiences with you, maybe you have tested this to some aspect of your life, be that business or family and would like to share with us as well.

Couple of months ago some very powerful words hit me straight in the head,.again .... and this time I was ready to hear them with different ears.

"The people around us are like mirrors to us"- that implies that we can change the image in the mirror and we are in complete control of it and my friends let me tell you that is about the only thing that we can control in life, our own attitude.

My definition of ATTITUDE = Composite of THOUGHT + FEELING + ACTION

How we respond to every situation, to what people say or do is of Paramount importance when it comes to the RESULTS we get in all areas of life.

Before we go any further would like to talk to you about something that I had a big misconception about for many years and because us human beings are very similar what I'm about to say might bring clarity to your Mind as it did to mine.

- Nobody can do anything to us without our consent, what do I mean by that?

Nobody can MAKE US SAD, OR MAD, nobody can UPSET US - WE HAVE TO DO ALL THAT TO OURSELVES.

Please give this some serious thought, understanding this helped me immensely.

We do the things we do in life, some things better others not so good, not because we are bad people but because of our Programing our Conditioning since the day we were born.

We copy and do everything we see and hear from authority figures in our liefs as we grow up(our teachers, parents, grand parents, etc.)

So, my way of doing things is no better nor worse than yours.... IT JUST IS.

In other words when we think something like : " How can she,he do this to me? He hurt me so bad! The truth is nobody did anything to me it is simply my conditioning,my programing versus somebody else' s.

Important : When we talk to another person we don't talk to the person we are talking to their CONDITIONING, PROGRAMING, to their BELIEF SYSTEM and it's not what people say that will make a difference in our lives but how we respond to it.

Lots to think about, lots to analyze and this process will take time, we form Habits and Beliefs over an extended period of time, forming new ones or replacing some of the Old ones that don't serve us any longer will also take some time and effort, be patient with yourself.

So, how can I change everybody else?

Give this some thought and please share with us your take on this.

Will pick it up here in the next post.

I believe that understanding and guiding self is a very important part of life and have been doing that for the last 4 years on regular basis - everyday a dose of self development and it feels so good to be able to guide the mind (our vibration) in our daily actions. How about you?

Never allow what hurts you, to damage you ....

2010-03-09T07:17:00.000-08:00

Never allow what hurts you, to damage you ....

Very true...hard thing to do! is the answer I hear the most.

You know, growing in awareness, learning about self, understanding self and guiding self in life are some of the few things in life we have complete control over.
Our Attitude will shape our life(5,10,15 years from now) and our Results in all areas of life - and we can shape that little by little everyday.

How I approach something that hurt me? To make a better point will give you an example.

Just yesterday while reading a Great Blog post by @Randy_Gage "Protecting Yourself from Crazy People" http://bit.ly/aokXSv became aware that I was allowing something that was hurting me to damage me...

As I was reading realized that I'm doing a great job protecting myself from everyone except people I love and are closest to me.
Have no problem standing up for myself and walking away from allowing crazy people to drag me down to their level and then beat me with experience, yet not doing such a great job when it came to loved ones.

So first step became aware, then made a decision to read Randy's post once a day for a month so I keep it fresh on the screen of my Mind and start carving away...

As human beings we were blessed with Intellectual Factors and we have the ability to change anything in our life including Self, Old Beliefs, Habits and Attitude.

And yes it takes time and commitment but we can sculpt exactly the person we want to become...

We do that trough repetition - the exact same way we created all the good or bad Habits and Beliefs we have TODAY.

Please share your experience with us on this topic. How do you deal with something that hurts you?

The way we've always done it's usually the reason we're in the mess we're in....

2010-02-25T09:24:00.000-08:00

The way we've always done it's usually the reason we're in the mess we're in....

You know something? If you ever hope to become more successful in any area of life you have to know that awareness gives meaning to life. Awareness will be reflected in our results.

The awareness we are seeking requires replacing old conditioning. Our old Conditioning, these old Ideas are holding us back and don't allow us to grow.

Take some time for the next 2 days and think about some of your Old Ideas,Conditioning that keep you stuck where you are. Once you've done that and understood that in order for you to get new Results you got to be open minded and start letting go of old Habits, you took your first step towards a more successful life.

The shape of your life is determined largely by your ATTITUDE.

Successful people are people with great attitudes, they expect success and get success.

ATTITUDE IS A COMPOSITE OF THOUGHT, FEELING and ACTION

Successful people choose their thoughts carefully and are consciously aware of their actions.

The only way to improve the results you are getting in life is to take full responsibility for your ATTITUDE.

The smallest change in your attitude will dramatically affect where you will be five years from now.

Do not allow Old Conditioning keep you stuck.... because it will... Find a Mentor and start...Changing and creating Habits is a lifestyle ....

Keep learning and improving self... it is the only way to SUCCESS...

Leave your thoughts please so we can all learn from your experience....

"Stop seeing yourself the way you are; start seeing yourself the way you want to be."

2010-02-17T07:04:00.000-08:00

"Stop seeing yourself the way you are; start seeing yourself the way you want to be."

You know most people look at their present RESULTS and allow current RESULTS dictate their future...

My advice to clients is: don’t let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

We were programed to think from the outside in, in other words we listen to TV or Radio, to conversations around us - which are usually about how bad The Economy is and how something can't be done and we allow that to influence our thinking.

As adults we have the ability to study Self and understand that we can reprogram our Mind, that we don't have to continue doing things the way we have always done them. We have the ability to choose brand New Habits and Beliefs...
Do you realise that the way you've been acting and thinking since the day you were born it is simply your Ancestors' way of Thinking and Acting?
It is not who you are, it is an unwanted 'PRESENT' from your environment.
Some parts of the 'PRESENT' are better than other parts, pretty sure you know what I mean.

Today, writhing just to encourage you 'STOP' for a few... and THINK, analyze how you've been doing things and the reasons you've been getting the RESULTS you've been getting in ALL AREAS OF LIFE.

Just a few years ago I was not aware of the fact that 'I don't have to behave,act,think,respond' like my mother or my father do...I can create a brand New ME., a unique ME.
How did I do that?
Continuing where we left it in our previous 2 posts http://su.pr/2VXNfU

Us, human beings were blessed with 6 Intellectual Factors, today's 2 Factors that we can use to create a brand New Us and Results in every area of life are :

Perception - This is your point of View. You can use this ability that was given to you to shift your perception to change your RESULTS.

Imagination - As children we are highly creative. As we get older, we put a lid on our creative Potential. We can use this ability to dream and develop ideas.

Can't tell you in words how much my life has improved since I started to study this vital information. Self Improvement is a continuous process - most people finish school and they think they are done learning....think again.
Understanding and Improving Self is the only way you can improve your RESULTS in life, you can become more Successful....

What are the Habits that you inherited from your Family that keep you stuck getting the same Results in life that you've been getting?
What are the Beliefs that you hold on to that don't serve you anymore?

Please share your experience with us below and know that there is something you can do to change some of your Thoughts,Habits, Beliefs that keep you stuck in the same circle.

Next post? I guess you'll just have to come back to find out.

Create your Success.

Don't just keep doing what you've been doing...You'll get the SAME RESULTS!

2010-02-05T04:42:00.000-08:00

Don't just keep doing what you've been doing...You'll get the SAME RESULTS!

To get different RESULTS today than yesterday you'll have to bang your head in a different wall.
In other words if we approach what we do the same way over and over again we'll keep getting the SAME RESULTS as we did yesterday.

Best I can relate this to my childhood - thinking back my mom and I used to have the exact same arguments over and over again. Or looking at mom and dad they use to have the same discussions that would end with the same RESULTS every time.
I mean, for sure you know people in your family that 20, 30, 40 years later have the same arguments.

Now why is that? Well, if we don't change the way we approach any problem or conversation...guess what, the answer will be the same as yesterday.
It's called a HABIT, we are in the Habit of doing things. We don't give our actions any conscious thought any longer.

Habits are expressed automatically, once something passed our Conscious Mind and it's implanted in our Sub-conscious Mind it just keeps expressing itself until we make a conscious decision to change them.

This is the reason why Habits are not easy to Create or Change.
Well, most people are not even aware that they have the ability to change something in their life.
This is the reason why people make short lasting" NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS" - to lose weight, to start own business, to improve relationships, to improve sales(if they are in sales), etc...

A Habit that has been programed in Our Subconscious Mind since childhood takes awareness and REPETITION to Change.....It took us how long to create that Habit??? (10,20,30...years to create it) it's kind of silly to expect to wake up January 1 and expect to have brand new HABITS created over night.

But we have the Habit to allow ourselves to get disappointed over and over again because we don't make the commitment to and the investment in ourselves.

Self improvement should have same importance as eating or brushing our teeth....Well, not unless we are happy to get the same RESULTS in any area of our life.

As adults we can create the awareness that is required to improve anything in our life.

Sow where do we start?

In our last post http://su.pr/47IqPB we talked about our Intellectual factors and today we can start learning to change Habits by using other of our Intellectual factors.

WILL - We have the ability to hold one picture on the screen of our Mind to the exclusion of all else. This is our ability to concentrate.

MEMORY - We all have a perfect memory. We can improve it trough practice.
We can remember all our failure and focus on them or WE CAN REMEMBER ALL OUR SUCCESSES AND VICTORIES and focus on those.

These thoughts are from "The Goal Achiever" http://ow.ly/12XnZ - my mentor Bob Proctor

So, if you would like to achieve different RESULTS in life you can only achieve them by creating NEW HABITS it doesn't happen any other way....
And it all happens in OUR MARVELOUS MIND ... because it is the mind that sets the body in action.

What Habits do you believe you need to Change or Create to achieve better(different) RESULTS in your life?

In what area of your life you feel you keep getting the same RESULTS and you know you need to change?

Time to change the wall you bang your head into...cuz you will...but failure is part of SUCCESS..

Home work for today: Write down 3 things that you know that if you start changing today your life will improve....

It takes as much stress to be a success as it does to be a failure....

2010-02-02T04:36:00.000-08:00

It takes as much stress to be a success as it does to be a failure....

Lets continu where we left it in our last post http://ow.ly/12W0k please read so you can benefit more from this post.

So, because as little kids we were programed to gather our information trough our physical factors they are like little antenna and are to: See ,Taste, Hear, Smell and Touch people listen to all the bad news on TV, listen to conversations around us exmpl.: why something can't be done - (please promise you will start to choose the people you surround yourself with) - people look at their current situation and take that as reality.

Well, it must be true right?

Well NO!

We can create our own reality regardless of current Results. We have infinite potential.We can achieve whatever we want in life.
You see the way we ACT (the things we do on regular basis) our beliefs and our habits or better said our ATTITUDE is what gives us the Results we are getting in life.

ATTITUDE is a Composit of THOUGHT - FEELING - ACTION = RESULTS

So, if we look at our RESULTS we Think a certain way, we Feel a certain way, we Act a certain way and those are the kind of Results we are going to keep getting because we believe that is what we can achive.

The MIND controls the Body.

What you think dictates your RESULTS.

The thoughts or images you consciously choose automatically IMPRESS upon your Sub-Consciuous and then move your body into action.

The actions with which you are involved, determine your RESULTS.
THOUGHT> FEELINGS > ACTIONS > RESULTS

These thoughts are part of our "The Goal Achiever Program" http://ow.ly/12XnZ

So until our next post please start paying attention to the kind of images you choose to allow to your Sub-Conscious Mind... your Results and achieving your Goals depends on it.

There are better ways to collect information than trough our physical factors and that is trough our Intellectual Factors.

All together we were blessed with 6 Intellectual factors and today we will describe first two which are: REASON and INTUITION

REASON - This is our ability to think. It separates us from all other beings. We take thoughts, develop plans (take action) and create RESULTS.

INTUITION - This is our ability to pick up vibrations from other people or circumstances. This allows you to tap into vibrations, hunches and feelings.

Please leave a comment about your experiences so we can all learn from each other.

In our next Post will talk about PERCEPTION AND WILL and how we can use them toward achieving any Goal we set our Mind to achieve.

Until next time... great success

It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know...

2010-01-20T17:24:00.000-08:00

It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know...

or Bruce Lee way: "I can teach you what I know but you have to let go of what you know"

So true, in order to become more successful or to achieve more in life we have to be open minded and willing to learn everyday,study faithfully everyday and apply what we learn to some area of our life.
Just because we finished school it doesn't mean we have to stop learning.
For some years of my life I had the "I know that" Attitude.... without understanding why I was doing it or how it was affecting my life.

So, how and why I woke up?

Today I call them "Lessons"(Life Lessons)....realized that I was getting the same "Lesson" over and over again but because I chose not to listen or learn from it...I kept signing up for another "Lesson"
Now, can smell from far away when I'm about to get another lesson and don't sign up anymore, actually trying to help friends to do the same,but we can't,everyone needs to do that on their own when they have signed up and got enough "Lessons"then they are ready to keep paying for the same lesson.

Interesting part about changing my attitude was realizing that the person I was hurting the most by choosing not to "listen"was ...you guest it "ME (there is a big difference between hearing and listening - we hear with our ears and we listen with our emotions).
We don't do this on purpose to ourselves obviously and thinking back my reason for not listening was.... "I didn't ask for anybody' s opinion" (felt like I was back in my childhood when my sweet mother used to "order me" to do something, and couldn't get her to understand that the stubborn kid will not do it until asked nicely... that was a lot of fun :) ) .....Oh, that's where the resistance came from.

As an adult the word "Opinion" means something very different to me.

Whatever another person said to me it is simply their opinion nothing more, don't have to accept that as my reality and can use"my marvelous Mind" to decide if I accept or reject the information, but must be open minded.
One of my rules is, I don't take advise from someone just because they are willing to give it to me, I ask myself "Does this person know what he/she is talking about?" Then consider what to do with it.
In order for us to grow in awareness and to understand self better we have to constantly challenge our old beliefs, we have to have new information coming in.
Studying and learning faithfully everyday for the past few years about the human mind and behaviour, helped me understand why all that fear of other people "telling me what to do" and it makes a lot of sense.
As little kids we were programed to gather our information trough our physical factors they are like little antenna and are to:

See
Taste
Hear
Smell
Touch

We were tought to: "Listen to what your father said", "Watch what your older brother does" etc...
Old programing if not recognized and corrected keeps us going nowhere FAST....and gives us the same Results over and over again in all areas of life.
There is a better way to collect information and that is trough our Intellectual Factors which are:

Reason
Imagination
Intuition
Perception
Memory
Will

They are like mental muscles and we can develop them trough repetition.
Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Ford and all big achievers used them to accelerate their success.

Next Post: will give a definition of each one of them and we'll talk about how we can develop and use them to set and achieve our goals,change old habits,walk towards success faster.
Getting a good understanding of these factors and how we can use them will accelerate our success in any area of life.

Please share with us your experience and how you feel your old unrecognized beliefs kept you going in circles life so we can all learn from your experience.

Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing...

2010-01-13T06:04:00.000-08:00

Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing....

You know it is so easy to remain a victim of the past, and I have this conversation with many clients and friends on regular basis.

Unfortunately we have not been thought in school how to think, how to behave,how to understand ourselves (basic things wright?)

I mean Math and History and Geography is great stuff but if you don't know what to do with yourself in life how does all that help you?

We were not thought what self image, self esteem, self motivation, self confidence is...

Therefore so many people can't look you in the eyes and give you a powerful hand shake - clear sign of lack of confidence... some of you might say ...o big deal - oh, yes it is - in more ways than you can imagine.

You know the expression....We never get a second chance to a first impression?

Probably you lost your job interview at hand shake....A good leader has great Intuition and will sens your lack of confidence in 2 sec. flat and this is just one example.

Another very important aspect of life that we were never explained is that as adults we have the power to change our Habits that don't serve us any longer.

As children we copy what our parents do and say we know that, then as adults we continue....

I used to hate my mothers nagging growing up....and guess what? I grew up to do exactly what I hated ....we don't do that because we are bad people, it just feels normal and familiar,we copy authority figures in our lives.

So, as an adult I took responsibility for my actions and decided that what I didn't like probably nobody else liked and change it.
Yes, it takes awareness and commitment but trough repetition we can change any Habit (I mean it took us 15,20,25.... years to form that Habit it's not going to change overnight) but the same way we formed that Habit we can form another.

But you have to know that it takes awareness,understanding, self study and self control.....and it also takes leaving victim hood behind and taking responsibility for our actions.

Most of us can't do this on our own, we all need guidance,mentors,help,we need someone to challenge our beliefs so we can brake trough our Barriers. Until we do that no major changes will happen in our lives.

As adults we have the ability to choose and to control our ATTITUDE....
We can control how we do the things we do.

ATTITUDE IS A COMPOSITE OF : THOUGHT + FEELING + ACTIONS

Study self faithfully and learn from any circumstance and situation,learn something new everyday my friends.
How are you doing on that?

There is no luck except where there is discipline

2010-01-07T04:53:00.000-08:00

There is no luck except where there is discipline

The man responsible for all this .....is @Randy_Gage (and if you are not following him yet consider you missed your next glass of watter)

Was thinking......... what a great way to stay creative,motivated and to constantly be reminded to improve yourself and your results. It's called TWITTER.
Well, I guess it's the way we choose to look at it as well. If it wasn't for Twitter I wouldn't be writing this Blog post right now,wouldn't be already in a very good energy and frame of mind (by 5 am) or be inspired to take more action towards my dreams everyday.

All that is true but "There is no luck except where there is discipline"....we have to take action.

Yesterday I got another "Do you believe in the Law of Attraction" question...Now you've got to be careful how you answer that so I said: which part of it do you refer to?.....The part where you just sit at home and watch "The Secret" 11 times? No I didn't say that....
But definitely the first thing that crossed my mind was :"Let's be real kids sitting at home and watching "The Secret" 11 time is not going to make you more successful" as my friend Randy Gage would say http://ow.ly/TE1m (watch this vid.)

So that brings us to... let's start a new Habit this year - let's take responsibility and use our mind to create new ideas and take ACTION on the idea in stead of asking ourselves if the idea is right or wrong, this is not a very efficient way to create new brain cells.

You know, just having information we collect from outside sources go on and on in your mind is not called thinking...thinking is when we come up with a plan(new ideas) and take action daily toward our Vision,Purpose,Goals.
How are you using your mind?

As my mentor Bob Proctor would say: 2% of.ppl. think, 3% of ppl. think they think and 95% of ppl would rather die than think.

Ask better questions. Train yourself to be the sculptor of your moods

2009-12-22T05:14:00.000-08:00

Ask better questions. Train yourself to be the sculptor of your moods...

My mentor Bob Proctor would say - If you ask yourself the wrong questions you will always get the wrong answers.....

Have been thinking....you know, there are enough people using the "Holiday excuse" for taking steps toward their Goals for the next 2 weeks.
Already decided that instead of asking myself if I should continue taking the same steps toward my Project during the Holidays the question to ask is "What should I wear today for my appointment with the General Manager @?....."Oh, did I say appointment? Don't have one I just stop by to tell them about my Project.
The answer to that question was - It is easier for them to just say "NO" on the phone than in person.....and that answer is "I know that my FORTE is who I am as human being" so if they look me in the eyes they can read that very well,but they can't necessarily do the same before they say no on the phone...Right?
The moral is .....we all need to ask ourselves empowering questions, questions that will help us take our next steps from a positive feeling about ourselves by doing that we bring beautiful pictures on the screen of our MIND therefore we set our body in positive vibration,consequently actions will be based on that positive vibration and our RESULTS will be based on that as well....

You see, we think in pictures - If I ask you to think of your home - a picture of your home flashes on the screen of your Mind, if I ask you to think of your car the pic. of your home is gone and a pic. of your car flashes on the screen of your Mind....and we can decide what kind of pictures we bring on the screen of our Mind - we can bring pic. of lack and limitation or pic. or success and victory.

(There are a few Post prior to this where I explain in detail how we can control the way we feel.)

We take actions based on our ATTITUDE...(based on how we feel that day).....

What is Attitude anyways?

ATTITUDE is a Composite of : THOUGHT - FEELING AND ACTION = RESULTS

I other words the Results we are getting are based on our thoughts (The Pictures we bring on the screen of our Mind) - what kind of pic. do you bring on the screen of your Mind?

Start your New Year 2010 by creating the HABIT of using positive pic. about yourself - your RESULTS depend on your PICTURE.....

That takes us to a couple of very interesting subjects - SELF IMAGE and HABITS - will dissect those in our next Posts....

How do you sculpt your Moods?

To Change your Results you have to bang your head in a different wall

2009-12-15T15:31:00.000-08:00

Starting now to study and understand SELF(Self Image) can help YOU make better decisions and commit to Goals that YOU will achieve in 2010.
Here are some STEPS to take now for a successful 2010 - "Create New Habits – Improve Results" in any area of life.

There are reasons why we keep getting the same Results over and over again even if we make a New Promise every year to loose weight,to be healthier,to start our own business or to improve our relationships.

The reasons are HABITS,CONDITIONING,BELIEFS and the truth is that regardless of how many promises, amendments we make it will not make a difference if the same Law-Breaker is to keep them.

To Change your Results you have to bang your head in a different wall...

In other words if we keep doing the same things will always get the same results, but in order to change our results we need to understand where we are and who we are.

Today let's talk a little about knowing where you are....

A personal Evaluation

Rate yourself in the following areas:

Personal Image
You never get a second chance to make a first impression

Personal Evaluation
Dig deep into your feelings and find out what your ATTITUDES are.

Know where you are
On a scale of one to ten,how committed are you to your business?

Personal Improvement
What are you presently doing to improve your ability to sell whatever you are selling?

Your environment
Your environment can have a tremendous effect on your income.
WHO DO YOU ASSOCIATE WITH?

If you have any questions related to our post please feel to ask / and if you have something to add to the list of things to improve for better results I would love to hear about them.

The amount of money you will earn will always be in exact ratio to:

2009-12-10T08:01:00.000-08:00

The difference between a career and a job is a mission.

When you change your thoughts you'll change your results,when you change the picture you hold on the screen of your Mind your results will change....

As we all know people who are successful in their lives are in love with what they do.They are on a "Mission".

The Law of Compensation:
The amount of money you will earn will always be in exact ratio to....

1. The need for what you do
2. Your ability to do it

3. The difficulty there will be to replace you

The first part of this law generally takes care of itself.There is always need for what we do - very rare occasions that the person has to leave the field they are in presently to earn the money they want.

So today lets dissect part 2 of the Law of Compensation...

Your ability to do it - Mastering this part of the law will raise your Results faster and higher that any other factor.

Self development should be on our agenda as one of the first things we do, we need to make that a daily habit.

And practice,practice,practice (makes perfect)....another important habit to create...

We don't have to sell to everyone but we have to tell everyone what we do.. so practice - place your dog on the chair and explain what you do/practice your presentation they are good listeners....

1. How effective are you at selling your product or service?

Rate yourself in the following areas:

Attitude

Selling skills

Management of time

Team player

Enthusiasm

Appearance

Let's compare notes tomorrow....

and then will get into - Knowing where You are -

Focusing on your achievements to create new Self Image and Beliefs...

2009-12-03T07:43:00.000-08:00

Focusing on your achievements to create new Self Image and Beliefs...

Life should always be a learning experience...and as a passionate coach I must take it even further to better help the people I coach.

So what do I mean by that? One of my habits - as a coach is to always analyze daily self growth experiences and be able to translate that to clients so they can better apply the given information - (personal examples make great points).

Here's one of my recent ones..While doing a Presentation "Achieving your Goal by Creating New Habits" to a group of sales people a question came my way...sounded somewhat like this: What did you learn while approaching Car Dealerships as your New Project?

Well, I have to say learned a great deal about myself and my old belief that "I was not the greatest sales person in the World...."

So my very exited voice said ...I learned how to demonstrate to my "Self Image" that "I am a great sales person" and let me give you my way of reasoning with my Old Belief so you can do the same and apply it toward achieving your Goals in any area of life.

My entire life this little voice inside was whispering...you Lorena sales person? ha,ha,ha
you don't know how to sell....and of course being easier to believe the little voice than to get out of "Comfort Zone" we agree with the little voice...I mean really it was true for so many years why would it be different today right?
Then all of the sudden something changed and it was that day.....
What Changed?Well....my Attitude to begin with and then using my ability to Reason started looking at my strengths instead of looking at my(imaginary) weakness....and guess what I discovered?
I discovered that I could use my passion (to coach) people until a New Belief/New Habit is created....

Would you like to know what the little voice is proudly whispering today? ha....Lorena you are a good coach and you have the ability to direct any conversation in the direction you want it to go.... isn't that one of the qualities a good sales person has???? And over night I became a good sales person(in my own Mind)...
What are your beliefs about yourself that you focus on whenever you feel fear? Are you reminding yourself about all your achievements or your failures?

Starting today create a Habit of remembering all your Victories and remind your Self Image what a successful person you are over and over again....

Share your experience with us so we can all learn and grow.....

Reprogram your Mind.Are you creating good habits?

2009-10-26T03:57:00.000-07:00

Reprogram your Mind....Are you creating good habits?

No major change in Results will happen until you do some work on UR self Image.

Our Mind is being programed since the day we were born and because we only get the ability to reason at the age of 7 we accept all information trough our 5 senses (see,smell,hear,taste and touch).

The sad part is that even after we have the ability to reason at this point we reason based on what our programing is.
But as adults we develop an understanding of our behaviour(why we do the things we do) and trough repetition we can create new habits,beliefs,we can change our conditioning.
Our Mind operates in an orderly manner, by Law.
Any thought repeatedly impressed on your subconscious Mind will become habit.
Once thoughts become habit they will continue to express themselves until you replace them.

So, give this a little thought....
For the next 2 days direct your attention at the importance of the type of thoughts and ideas you allow to occupy your Mind.

Awarness is the first step in changing any habits...

Please share your thoughts...

You tell your Subconscious Mind a lie often enough it will believe it

2009-10-23T04:48:00.000-07:00

You tell your Subconscious Mind a lie often enough it will believe it....

As we talked about it in previous posts MIND is an Activity it is NOT that Grey matter - and we can find it in every cell of our being.

This part of you is the most Magnificent.
This is the Power Centre.

Every thought your Conscious Mind chooses to accept, this part must accept - your Subconscious Mind has no power to REJECT.

This part operates "BY LAW"
This part of you expressed itself trough you, in feelings and actions.

And the 'Good' or could be the 'Scary" part about it comes now....

Any thought that we repeatedly choose to impress upon the Subconscious Mind becomes FIXED in this part of your personality.

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A HABIT (Fixed Ideas) - and it be comes automatic - you are not giving it any thought any longer, and it will remain so until it is consciously 'REPLACED'

This is the REASON why we keep doing the same things over and over again therefore we keep getting the same results over and over again.
This is the God -like part of you known as SPIRIT and it knows NO LIMIT.

What have you been telling yours?

Please give me your point of view about Sub Conscious Mind and lets compare what we know.
Looking forward to learning from you.
Also if you feel I can help bring some clarity to your Mind and have any questions please feel free to ask.
Have a successful week.

All Limitation is Originated in The Conscious Mind and it Controls our RESULTS

2009-10-19T09:59:00.000-07:00

Goal Achieving - Habit Changing Series

To achieve any Major Goals in life we need to understand how Our Marvellous Mind work.
Next step....

All Limitation is Originated in The Conscious Mind and it controls our RESULTS

There are 2 parts to the MIND:

- The Conscious Mind
- The Subconscious Mind

Today will be talking about the Conscious Mind -
So let me explain how our Conscious Mind works...

This is the part of you that Thinks, Reasons - your free will lies here.
As matter of fact this is the part of your Mind that you use to analyze the information I'm giving you right now.
This is the part of your Mind you use to accept or reject any new ideas.
Important to hear here that you have the power to choose what you accept as reality, you have the power to select from Ideas and information you hear around you at any time.
No person or circumstance can cause you to think about Ideas or thought that you do not choose.
The thought you choose eventually determine the RESULTS in your life (In any area of life).
All pleasure or pain is Originated in your Conscious Mind or accepted uncritically from an outside source.

Please share your experience below.

Just like every Corporation has a corporate Image - every person has a Self Image(What they think they can achieve)

2009-10-15T06:00:00.000-07:00

Every person has an Image in their Mind.

Just like every Corporation has a corporate Image - every person has a Self Image(What they think they can achieve)
Dr. Maxwell Maltz said:
"We act,behave and feel according to what we consider our SELF IMAGE to be and we do not deviate from this pattern"
What is SELF IMAGE anyway?

Self Image is the result of Ideas about you that were planted in your Subconscious Mind...by other people....before you had the ability to think for yourself.It doesn't sound fare does it?

So again,each person has an Image in their Mind.As an example lets say this person is a sales person.Lets suppose this person sells $1.000.000 worth of insurance every year.

Do you know that any Company can tell you what their sales force is going to sell at the beginning of the year.
If they have a contest for writing so much business - do you know that they can book the seats on the plain at the beginning of the year.
And why is that?

It is because people very rarely deviate from the their set objective. If the Self Image picks up any deviation from the set objective - sends a signal to the nervous system and the person will start behaving the same way they did for their entire life.

This is the reason why we can not OUTPERFORM OUR SELF IMAGE!...
The sales person is just an example but it applies the same way to a student or any person on this planet in any area of life..

Only trough understanding and studying SELF major/lasting changes can be achieved.
This is the reason why motivation only lasts a short period of time,it is understanding of why we do what we do and everyday studying SELF is what will help you get MAJOR CHANGES IN YOUR RESULTS.
Do you know that our SELF IMAGE sets the boundaries in EVERY AREA OF OUR LIFE.

Dr. Maltz also said:
"The Image You hold of yourself is a premise,a base or a foundation upon which your entire personality is built.This Image not only control your behaviour it controls your circumstances as well"

A person who makes $60.000/year they don't make $60.000 because they want that, they make that because they are not aware of how to make $250.000, and it is not because that is their Potential. Our Potential is limitless

That's why studying self is so important- we will not achieve greater result in life until we understand how our Mind works.

Our Mind has two parts:

1. Conscious Mind
2. Subconscious Mind

To better understand how to control and direct our Mind we must have a deep understanding of how it works.Will take it one little step at the time in the next few weeks.

So, don't be disappointed with yourself if you set all kinds of Goals and you never achieve them.I mean you've been acting the way you do/you have the Habits and Beliefs you do since the day you were born.We can't just change that over night.Deep changes must happen for us to act different.And it starts with awareness, and you are doing just that.Be proud of yourself for realizing that there is something you can do to change the things you don't like.

Sending good energy your way.

To get better RESULTS in life we must change the Picture we hold on the Screen of our Mind...

2009-10-14T05:57:00.000-07:00

To get better RESULTS in life we must change the Picture we hold on the Screen of our Mind...

So, what do I mean by this?

Maybe you never thought about this but we really think in pictures.

If I ask you to think of your house - a pic. of your house flashes on the screen of your Mind, now if I ask you to think of your car - the pic. of your car is gone and a pic. of your car flashes on the screen of your mind and the pic. of your house is gone. Right?

Why did I bring this up?

See, the pictures we hold on the screen of our Mind will influence the way we feel (vibration we are in) and that will influence the way we act - and automatically will reflect in our RESULTS.

Attitude is a composite of : Thought,Feeling and Action = RESULTS ( in all area of lifebusiness,personal,health)

Formulated a little different - In order for you to get great RESULTS IN YOUR LIFE you have to take ACTION from a POSITIVE FEELING

Nothing good can come out when we ACT from a NEGATIVE Vibration(Negative Attitude)...do we agree on this?

I have learned and have been practicing to IMMEDIATELY CHANGE my Attitude(feeling,vibration) if I consider it is a coming from a negative thought(picture).
Try it. I promise your RESULTS will immediately improve.
Ex:Be polite and nice to someone - they'll have no choice but to do the same in return you'll see...

So, our home work starting today is to notice our negative thoughts.....
Tomorrow will talk about how to replace them...

May you all have a very successful day.

Don't know what your Purpose is..You'll never achieve your Goals.

2009-10-11T11:32:00.000-07:00

Don't know what your Purpose is..You'll never achieve your Goals.

Do you have a definite purpose that guides your ambitions, vision, and goals? Something that will keep you going?
Because if you don't we we have to work on that.

So, let's start from the very beginning....
Before we can achieve any major Goal in life we have to have a Purpose do we agree on this?

If you fail to determine your definite purpose, everything else is wrong.

It is just like playing hokey without a net.

Without your Purpose identified firmly in your mind,you will just wander through life,you'll just go in circles.

So what is Purpose anyway?

Purpose gives meaning to WHY you’re doing what you’re doing.
Why we do what we do?

It’s time to sit down and have a serious truth session with yourself.
First thing we need to analyze is what do we believe about ourselves?

Do we entertain ANY negatives about ourselves, past or present,real or imagined.
You know negative images have been crowding our minds since our
first week on this planet.

Even our first school papers were marked in red slashes when we were “wrong.” That red mark drew our entire conscious attention...
We were "Wrong"....

Once we’ve found our purpose, how do we express it?
By creating and maintaining a vision.
Vision is what you do with your life.
Vision is the strategy behind the fulfillment of your purpose. You accomplish this strategy by creating several short-term goals to keep you on course....

Our home work for today:

Write down what do you believe about yourself and decide what is your Purpose.

Looking forward to your comments.
Have a phenomenal day everyone

Habit Changing Series - How to choose a Goal?

2009-10-06T08:47:00.000-07:00

Habit Changing Series - How to choose a Goal?

It is always exciting to start a new Project,to start working toward a new Goal and even more exciting when there's new clarity,new tools to work with isn't it?

When we get to try something slightly different the anticipation is different because we ...
know that approaching something the same way over and over again will give us the same results,yet when we change some of the ingredients for sure some of our Results are going to be different.

So, when choosing a goal what do you think are the most important things to pay attention to?

Well, there are a few things we need to work around.

Most important of all I would say would be our Beliefs,our Paradigms.

And by that I mean what do we think we can achieve( or what is our level of awareness) - this has lots to do with our self Image and the barriers we and our loved ones place around ourselves.

Self Image = If you were raised with praises chances are you are very confident,if everything you ever did wrong was pointed out to you chances are that you are not.

Also very important I would say would be good old "FEAR" - and you probably are thinking...I'm not afraid.... well just think fear of failure and most people duck(what will people say if I try and I fail? Or even worse WHAT WILL I BELIEVE ABOUT MYSELF IF I FAIL?

Choose a goal that is big enough to be a stretch (because we need to get excited about achieving this new goal) but is not too big so it's too much of a stretch for your Mind.... that will stop you in your tracks before you even start and you'll come up with the best excuses why you can't possibly work toward your goal...today or tomorrow, etc.

Now,there are 2 kinds of goals: Emotional Goals and Logical Goals.

Emotional Goals - these are the kind of goals we are going to work hard toward.

Logical Goals - I say to sales people that choose Logical Goals-"You are gonna to raise skinny kids"

Example:

If someones Goal is- to lose 2o Lb.- now how exciting is that???? people think diet,starving themselves,running for 1 h. everyday etc. ....who do you think is going to look forward to that?

Yet, if we formulate the Goal something like this -Goal - to be fit by December 25 when I'm going on a 2 week hiking trip in the Alps with my friends - now that is more something to look forward to.

In other words our Goal needs to be something worth failing for.....something we get emotionally involved with.

In a later post I'll talk to you about how we need to have our Goals in the present tense.

Something else that would make a huge difference if you achieve your Goal or not,would be to ask for advise, but not from your neighbour or your mom but from experts.

Look at this scenario - You would like to get in shape but you didn't work out in 15 years and January is here - so you grab your gym bag and...you get there and you are intimidated by the big steroid head guy and you have no idea how to use the machines or what exercises to do/ what amount of wight to use. So you make the wise decision to start with 1 h. running on the Treadmill or even if you insist on doing a workout with weights but you have no idea of the intensity of a bagginess work out - what is going to happen?

1. You are going to be very,very,very sore the next day - so you don't want to work out anymore

2. Embarrassed because you have no idea how to use the machines or other excuses....

This is the reason why by Jan. 15 the GYM is empty..

Other Example: Your current Income is $75.000/year now to set a Goal for your next months income to be $1.000.000 that is a big jump.

Most people s Conscious Mind will have a hard time accepting this new Income we know that right?

But don't worry will have a great understanding how our Conscious Mind works by the end of this Project.

We'll pick it up from here in our next post. There is so much to learn about Habits,Beliefs,Goals that we have something to learn for the rest of our lives and that is the idea - never stop to learn and grow.

Please feel free to ask any related questions would be my pleasure to give you my point of view and also please give us your examples or your point of view so everybody can learn something new.

If you would like a little help formulating your Goal please send me an e-mail lorenaheletea@lifesuccessconsultants.com and pls. let me know you sent me one

Looking forward to your comments and success.

One Month Goal Achieving Steps-Create a new Habit.

2009-10-02T15:43:00.000-07:00

One Month Goal Achieving Steps-Create a new Habit or replace an Old one.

As I was preparing for my Blog post series on Habit Changing/Creating I thought that I could help you more if we actually all choose a goal and we apply all the knowledge,all the information I will be sharing with you for the next month towards achieving our GOAL...

What do you think about that?

I was thinking...I'm giving you all this great content but I don't give you the tools and show you how to use them, it's like I'm doing a half job.

Just like that saying"Give the man a fish and you feed him today..."

So let's do it together.

I think everyone would benefit so much more from the new knowledge if we learn how to apply it together. Working as a team is much more powerful than working alone.

You know in business or in any area of life nothing worthwhile ever happens with one person acting alone.It always takes a team effort.

So, we can all choose a Goal, including me It's my Birth Day-Month so I have a special Goal in Mind.

If you would like to share with us what your Goal is great,if you just want to join the Challenge that is great too, would love to have you here, the more good creative energy together the better.

I'm thinking to create some videos as well and some other little surprises to make it more fun and more educative.

In my next Blog post I will talk about how to choose a goal that is big enough to be a stretch (because we need to get excited about achieving this new goal) but is not too big so it's too much of a stretch for your Mind.... that will stop you in your tracks and you'll come up with the best excuses why you can't possibly work toward your goal...today or tomorrow, etc.

Here to help you with your excuses...and please just give me the excuses you would like to keep.
I'll help you with the rest...

So think about a goal you would like to work toward and post your name bellow or if you are shy for now just start and you can give us your name latter if you'd like.

Same with the Goal you choose to achieve, you can tell about it now or latter or just do it anyway it would be my pleasure to guide you.

Sending love your way everyone.

I'm so excited about this new Goal Achieving Challenge and learning how to create new Habits.

Body is the instrument of the MIND

2009-09-30T13:51:00.000-07:00

Body is the instrument of the MIND

Today, I would like to make 2 very powerful points.,so I'll keep the post short and I'll invite you to read it a few times. This two points are vitally important to your success.

I would like to point out that reading something and understanding something are two very different activities.Do we agree on that?

We only understand something when we can explain it to someone else so they can understand it.

Do you know that the better you understand yourself the better your results are going to get?

So take the lid off your Marvelous Mind....

Mind is an activity it is not that gray matter....and we can find it in every cell of our being...

So Mind is an activity and Body is the manifestation of that activity.

So to create success we need to develop an image and place the image in our Mind.

Tell you a little secret...everything we need is already here it is just a matter of learning how to use it.

The main difference between real achievers and non achievers is "HABIT" therefore pretty Important to learn about best way to create,change and keep the new "Habits" by understanding more about our marvelous Mind.

And another most important aspect in your success would be ENVIRONMENT, the people you surround yourself with are more important to your success or well being than what is built right into your genes at birth.

Whenever you do something or take advise from make sure that the people you talk to, you surround yourself with are successful.

If we think about it we talk and behave just like the people we spend most time with....have you thought about that?

You could choose this to be your first home work - start surrounding yourself with successful people.

Next post will learn about our Conscious Mind in the process of Habit creating.
Sending lots of positive energy your way.

If you have any questions please ask and it would be my pleasure to give you my point of view.

Change a Habit by Controlling Your Mind....

2009-09-28T03:53:00.000-07:00

Change a Habit by Controlling Your Mind

I think a lot of people understand the importance of Habits in our life and how they relate to our success in any area of life.
But I don't know how many people know enough about one of the key parts /most important parts in the process of Changing /Creating a new Habit.

I'm talking about our Mind....

Do you know that Mind is an activity it is not that grey matter...(A lot of people when I ask if they know what Mind is think about the brain)....

Mind is activity not a thing......

The type of thoughts and ideas which occupy your consciousness is of Paramount importance in developing Prosperity in your life.

Your Mind is either in an orderly or a confused state.
Order must prevail in your Mind if you ever hope to see it manifest in your material world.

There are two parts to the Mind.

1. Is our Conscious Mind

2. Is our Sub-conscious Mind

You'll see how fascinating it is to have a clear understanding of how each of then play a major role in our life...and most important how we can direct and control our Mind and therefor the direction we take in our life once we understand about this power....

In our next post will talk about our Conscious Mind in more detail.

So excited to share this information with you.

What do you know about the mind?
Please ask any questions you might have related to Habit Changing or the Mind so we can look at it from different points of view and have a better understanding of how we can make our way faster towards where we are going in life.
Have a Phenomenal day everyone.

Why do you get the same RESULT?You forgot to shake your Paradigm.....

2009-09-24T07:36:00.000-07:00

Why do you get the same RESULT? Maybe because You forgot to shake your Paradigm.....

So what are paradigms anyway?

I mean how are we going to shake them if we don't know what they are right?

Paradigms are a multitude of Habits.
And the scary part is...that they are other people's Habits....that we inherited from our family,friends and authority figures in our life...

....and they are the reason we keep getting the same RESULTS in life because we get results in every area of our life right? We get results in our health,business,relationships etc. so it is kind of important to really understand what they are.

My mentor Bob Proctor has a very good explanation to how we act when it comes to Results.

He would say: "The clearest sign of insanity is when we keep doing the same thing and we expect different Results"

Isn't that the truth?

How many times we end up in the same argument with a loved one 2,3...10 years later?
Why does that happen?

Well, maybe because we don't change our approach to how we interact with that person and we always get stuck in the same place, just like the week before. Don't you think so?

Same thing applies to being more successful in our business....if we don't change our approach how are we going to get different results???

There's lots to talk about on this subject so we can continue in next post.

To change our Results we need to have a clear understanding of things - It is not an easy thing to do.I mean most of us need help with that.

To be more specific even a coach needs a coach....otherwise who is going to challenge my beliefs?
How am I going to grow if I don't start to do things differently?

Would really appreciate your thoughts.
Let's learn from each other.
LH

What to do with our Old Habits?

2009-09-21T08:38:00.000-07:00

What to do with our Old Habits?

If they are giving us great results obviously we need to keep them,but if they just take us in circles we definitely need to change them...Make sens doesn't it?Yes, it does but not that simple.Most people need help with that.

First we need to ask ourselves if our good old habits/belief still serve us, and the only way we can get a good answer to this question is if we have a written Purpose,Vision,Goals so we actually know where we are going.

How are we going to get there if we don't know where we are going right?

I was asked today: So how do you decide what new habit you want to create?

Very important, we got to ask ourselves the right questions...

If we ask ourselves the wrong questions we will always get the wrong answers.

Where am I going in life?(What do I want to achieve?)
What is the one habit I can add/change today that will take me toward my Purpose faster?
What is the one thing that I don't feel good about and just sits on my shoulders?

Example:Couple of years ago I realized I was doing exactly what I used to hate my mother doing...nagging people I loved (we copy our parents behaviour and we call it a HABIT)

Wasn't giving me great results aider....

So recognized I was doing it - Made a conscious decision I wanted to change that - It was hard work at first to just mind my own business but trough repetition I changed/created a new HABIT.

Obviously this was one example but we can apply the same method to anything in life,to our business,our health,relationships etc.

Repetition is the key to changing any Habit.

We created our old Habits trough repetition they become automatic, and the same way we create new ones.

What New Habit did you create?

What do Randy Gage's eyes say?

2009-09-15T14:16:00.000-07:00

What do Randy Gage's eyes say?Oh...lots....

I wouldn't mind going to one of his presentation every weekend,what an experience.If you do have a chance to listen to Randy do not miss the opportunity!

Just back from a phenomenal workshop in Florida with Randy Gage..Workshop on Social Media and in my case also refining my speaking skills(lots to learn from one of my favorite people).
One of the things I like about the man and I'm working myself on polishing for my platform speaking is ability to make great points with humor and fun sarcasm(being born in Transylvania I appreciate and relate to his sarcasm probably even more than most people) in my opinion one gets a lesson in prosperity,self awareness,self image with every phrase.

I think Randy's approach works so well because people like to learn but they don't like to be taught....

My Mind has been analyzing every part of the 3 hours......Quite a few lessons I learned I have to say, and I'll share some of them with you.

So, "The Man" walked in, and you knew he did....actually you felt he did.He brought with himself the energy that totalled and surpassed the energy of all the people in the room (I'm very much a feel people's energy kind of person)then once he walked in the very next thing I noticed ware his eyes.One of his powerful assets are definitely his eyes....of course he has plenty others but you meet his eyes first.

If you have ever been to a presentation by the"Jedi Knight" for sure you have learned that everything he said he confirmed with the intensity in his eyes and backed it up with the wisdom that resides behind them.

So,what did I read in Randy's eyes that I think every entrepreneur or leader needs to know?

First word that comes to mind to describe Randy's eyes is "SINCERITY" a lot of honesty and warmth in this man's eyes and I believe that is the foundation to becoming a great Leader.
If you are a Leader of a team YOU HAVE TO KNOW that the people you are leading are afraid (everybody is afraid of something) and communicating trust and helping them believe in themselves is essential for your business and it all starts in YOUR eyes....

Randy looks at you with his heart and soul there's no room for doubt and even more than that I felt his willingness to be vulnerable so he can help everyone around him feel comfortable and open minded.

I promise you only a great human being will allow himself to be vulnerable so he can help other people grow at a deeper level.It does require a special person....and that he is.

So what do you see in Randy's eyes?

Cary Grant once said : I acted like Cary Grant for so long I became him....

Please share what did you see in Randy's behaviour that you think is worth copying?Or what did you hear him say he does that is worth doing and you know it will shorten our road to success in any area of our life?
I can't stress enough how important it is to copy behaviour of successful people.To do what they do.

And just because you stoped by I'll give you one more piece of the Randy Gage's puzzle that I KNOW is worth applying to your life and that will get you to wherever you are going much sooner and that is....DISCIPLINE.

P.S. Randy this is my way of thanking you for a wonderful experience.My respect toward you grew exponentially.....And how does that go again?Mad love to you or something like that??

Would love to hear about your Randy Gage experience.

May only good come your way.

Today is the best day to stop the noise in our head and start taking control of how we use our MIND.

2009-09-09T06:06:00.000-07:00

Do your thoughts hurt or help you?

Today is the best day to stop the noise in our head and start taking control of how we use our MIND.

As my mentor Bob Proctor very often affirms:

2% of people think

3% of people think they think and

95% of people would rather die than think

Most people only think when they are in a life and death situation and use their mind the rest of the time only to go back in the past and remember what happened "then".... and that would not be such a bad thing either if they would go back and remember all their accomplishments all the times they were victorious.

When we use our mind to remember all our failures and every bad memory we had since the day we were born and how that mean person "made us feel" last week all we do is hurt ourselves over and over again,we deepen our fears and most important we chip at our Self Image(not even talking about how we hurt the people around us).

Nothing creative could come out of using our Mind in this manner.

Turning the information we have in our mind around and around can not be called thinking.

Taking control of our thoughts and coming up with a Purpose,Vision,Goals for our life is how thinking begins.

How are you using your mind?What are your thoughts?Is your mind controlling you or vice-versa?

Would be good to give it some serious thought for the next few days. Your results in every area of your life will remain the same for many years to come if you don't take control of your thoughts and start directing them toward where you want to go in life.

Next post will talk about first step to control and direct our thinking.

Have a phenomenal day beautiful people

The doubt you hold becomes the picture which will turn into your physical results...

2009-08-27T06:14:00.000-07:00

The doubt you hold becomes the picture which will turn into your physical results...

You ask and you receive...you ask for the wrong thing it will be delivered right on schedule...

The doubt you hold becomes the picture which will turn into your physical results...
When you bulid a picture you control from the inside you do not control from the outside, regardless of the circumstances of your present results.
How do you start?

You start with FAITH!

Clarence S. said: "Faith is the ability to see the invisible."

There is a power in every cell of your being that operates in a totally deductive manner it will take whatever image you impress upon it and it will move you in the vibration you have to be in, to act the way you have to act,to attract what you have to attract for the manifestation of the image that you chose to build.

Successful people have Faith in themselves, they believe they can achieve whatever they set their Mind to achieve.

Very few people realize just how much Faith in oneself has to do with your achievement.

Majority on people never seem to understand that Faith is a genuine Creative Force.

Faith is the greatest power you'll ever encounter.
Post your thoughts.
Have a Phenomenal day.

We can not OUTPERFORM OUR SELF IMAGE!...

2009-08-11T07:55:00.000-07:00

We can not OUTPERFORM OUR SELF IMAGE!...

What is Self-Image anyway?

The Self Image is the result of Ideas about you that were planted in your Subconscious Mind...by other people....before you had the ability to think for yourself.

If you were raised with praise,chances are you will be very confident.

If you were raised with criticism where everything you ever did wrong was pointed out to you,chances are you will be very insecure.

Doesn't sound fair does it?

But that's the way it works.

Paradigm is the word that we use to describe all these ideas that are fixed in the Subconscious Mind. (will talk in detail about Paradigm in a next post) .

For now we need to know that our Paradigm controls our life.

Dr. Maltz explains that : We act,behave and feel according to what we consider our Self-Image to be and we do not deviate from this pattern.

The Image you hold of yourself is a premise, a base or a foundation upon your entire personality is built.
This Image not only controls your behaviour it controls your circumstances as well.....
Would love to hear about your experiences and understanding of Self Image.
May only good things happen to you all.

Intuition or ......Not? Intuition...Yes....

2009-07-28T05:13:00.000-07:00

Today's Post I dedicate to my friend @BobBurg who brought up a very interesting Debate(Point)...(well him and @Randy_Gage two extraordinary human beings who are helping people develop and grow in awareness everyday)
Intuition or...Not? in his great Blog Post http://bit.ly/OMddj

To really make a good point a had to get into it deeper so this is more like a "Lunch or and Learn Presentation" than Blog post.

The Conscious Mind
We were all blessed with intellectual factors (OR MENTAL MUSCLES) and they are:

1. REASON - THINKING- the way we explain things to ourselves
2. WILL - Our power to focus on something
3. PERCEPTION - The way you see something, point of view
4. MEMORY - We can use our Memory to remember all Our Failures or all Our SUCCESSES
5. IMAGINATION - Napoleon Hill said: this is the most marvelous miraculous inconceivably powerful force that the World has ever known.

6. INTUITION-Our intuitive factor - It is what we feel about a person or a situation.
This is the part that picks up other peoples vibration,their feelings - the more we develop this faculty we can pick up on other ppl. feelings or what other people are thinking - most ppl. say one thing and think another, the more we develop it we can pick up their thoughts - we can eventually get to the point where you are not going to pay a lot of attention to the words people are using you are going to be more tuned in to what they mean by what they say or what they are thinking.

Did it ever happened to you that you walked into a room full of people and you thought .."I don't have a good feeling about this person.....?" that is Our INTUITION or let's say Have you ever entered a room and you felt the people in the room were talking about you.... ?that is INTUITION again.

Also very important to know that Intuition is like a mental muscle...so you cant train it,the more you use it the more you develop it.
I can tell you that it is fascinating to read between the lines and see where people are stuck and what Believes drives them....fascinating....This is one of the reasons i became a coach.

These Mental Faculties (Intellectual Factors) are in Our Conscious Mind they are our Creative Faculties as a matter of fact these are the Faculties that separate us from the rest of the Animal Kingdom.

In the Play " Secret of Freedom" Archibald M. said The only thing about a man that is a man is his Mind everything else you can find in a pig or a horse.
It is these Mental Faculties that give us Our creative Ability it is Our Mental Faculties that Build the image of Our Goal of wherever you want to go...this is why you can sit in a totally relaxed state and Build an Image of anything you want.

Next Paragraph I dedicate to one of my favorite people @Randy_Gage because I know he likes
Classical music Concerts.

Liberace rented a piano got all dressed up in Tuxedo and he sat and went trough an entire Concert and there wasn't a soul in the room with exception of himself. After each number he played he stood up and bowed to an imaginary audience. He understood the power of an Image,of Imagination and he built an Image and he lived as it was real and it did become REAL
IF YOU CAN HOLD IT IN YOUR HEAD YOU CAN HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND.

Hope you enjoy.
There's lots to talk about on this subject.
If you have any questions would be my pleasure to give you my point of view.
Also would be interested to hear yours.

Sending good energy your way.

You will NOT wake up The NEXT Day More Successful...I Promise!

2009-07-21T07:34:00.000-07:00

You will NOT wake up The NEXT Day More Successful...I Promise!

Being more successful in any area of your life be that Professional Life or Personal life requires Conscious Decision,Conscious and Constant Work. Doesn't happen over night!
Even when we make a DECISION to Change ourselves,how we do things or our ATTITUDE, our SUBCONSCIOUS MIND is Programed since childhood (by the age of 7 we are Programed to Do,to Believe and to Act exactly like the people in our ENVIRONMENT).....How do you like that???

Why do you think sometimes you scare yourself because YOU ACT JUST like your mother or your father?

Do you remember your mother screaming in the kitchen..You are just like your father or DO what your older brother is doing...?

Until the age of 6-7 we have no ability to REASON so everything that happens around us goes UN screened by our Conscious Mind straight to our Subconscious and it becomes a HABIT, A BELIEF... PARADIGM.
Now around age 7 when we start to REASON ....listen to this - WE REASON BASED ON WHAT IS ALREADY THERE,BASED ON OUR PROGRAMING...

The reason I explained all this is for you to understand that OUR PROGRAMING, BELIEFS,HABITS are rooted very deep, and we have been acting a certain way for so many YEARS - don't think You are going to change all that over night... EVEN WITH BEST INTENTIONS.
This is the reason why when you make a commitment at the beginning of the year to exercise or to start eating better you fail after a week or two...

Most of us need help to CHANGE or CREATE A NEW HABIT...It requires CONSCIOUS AND CONSTANT WORK.

Started a 30 Day Habit Changing/ Adding Challenge. Choose 1 Habit you think would accelerate your steps towards achieving your Goal - Lets work as a Team is more Powerful...

We can support each other.
Choose one Habit you commit to do everyday for next 30 Days and just send me a Tweet with the words DONE....

See you soon

ONE CAN NOT GET NEW RESULTS WITH OLD HABITS...

2009-07-12T08:44:00.001-07:00

ONE CAN NOT GET NEW RESULTS WITH OLD HABITS....

Please repeat that to yourself for the next 21 Days or until you get it...

It is so fascinating to me how some of the people I know continue having the same "Discussion" or the same "Arguments" 4,5,10..years later and people get more and more hurt, angry and depressed.

Yet many people I don't think understand that if they continue approaching something the same way they are Definitely going to get the same Results.

Please understand : Nothing Changes = Nothing Changes

Or as my Mentor Bob Proctor would say: The clearest sign of insanity is when you try to do the same thing and expect a different RESULT'''

Same applies to business, if we continue doing business the same way we did business 2,3,10 years ago we are gonna get hurt..

Why do we get the same Results, same arguments?

Well ,maybe because we forgot to change at least one ingredient, one Habit,one Belief so the CIRCLE of Life continues undisturbed... (we think) but it all effects us more than you'll ever know.
Why do we do the things we do Day after day after Day??

Because WE are in a Habit of doing them they don't require any thought any longer...
It's too comfortable why would we put any effort in changing anything that requires work and dedication and commitment and time....

I'll tell you it may be comfortable BUT IT'S A BAD SPOT...
To change a habit requires special attention and a lot of repetition but it is ESSENTIAL for anything in our life to change....

Next time we can talk about where to start...

How does your MIND control YOU,your ACTIONS and RESULTS?

2009-06-30T06:20:00.000-07:00

How does your MIND control YOU,your ACTIONS and RESULTS?

You see every Action we take is based on how we feel....

The vibration we are in causes us to FEEL the way we feel and that starts with the thoughts we entertain.

If our thought are negative,we are in a negative vibration,we don't feel very good therefore our ACTIONS can only be based on Negative feelings...How do you think your RESULTS will be?

On the other hand if your thoughts are POSITIVE,you Feel and ACT POSITIVE and your Results ...you give me the answer.

Our thoughts are based on the pictures we bring on the screen of OUR MIND.
And how do we do that?
Find out in my next post.

Wishing you a Phenomenal day.

Most people do not know they do more harm that good when they speak....

2009-06-26T06:15:00.000-07:00

Do I achieve my goal when I speak?Do I make a difference?

Listening to people interact,more and more got to the understanding that most people do not know they do more harm that good when having a conversation...That goes both for business relationships and Personal.

How to begin? Well first step before you open your mouth ask yourself : What do I want to achieve by having this conversation?What is my goal?

Do I want to make a difference?

Do I want to make a good point and have the person in front of me interact with me a little different next time around?

Or do I just want to be an ass,hurt the person in front of me,make them feel worse than they did before the conversation and me just spit out whatever was bothering me(and ad some spice by bringing some of my previous anger into this conversation as well).......

We can always choose...

Do you know there is one major difference between human beings and animals?

And the difference is that us human beings we have the ability to choose,the ability to direct ourselves in life,the ability to think....

There is a nice saying that I really like... The only thing that separates us from the other animals is OUR MIND everything else you can find in a Pig or a Horse....
YOU SEE - Our BODY is an instrument of our MIND...

Do you direct and control your MIND?
Because IF YOU ARE NOT IT CONTROLS YOU... and most important it controls YOUR ACTIONS and therefore YOUR RESULTS....
Interesting....do you think so too?

Will get into it deeper in couple of days...

All the best to you

TEST: Feel good about yourself?

2009-04-06T13:00:00.000-07:00

One of my friends and client made a very powerful point today... it's still resonating in my ears.

"People have a hard time forgiving until they feel good about themselves"

You know, depression is anger turn inwards. People get upset with someone else and they suppress that anger.

Many people walk around with a stamp collection.What do I mean by that?You know some people have a mental notebook and they keep track of all the wrong that has ever been done to them...

But the people that get ahead in life are the people that learn a lesson from every circumstance(Lesson on WHAT TO or what NOT TO DO) and keep going.

The only person that we hurt by not letting go of our anger is ourselves.

How does anger manifest? Could be depression for example, you know what depression is?Is ANGER turn inward. People get angry at someone else and they suppress the anger.

Nothing good comes out of holding on to anger....

How do you deal with yours?
Letting go of anger and all the wrong that was done to you from the day you were born and focusing on all the good things,all the successes and the achievements you had in life will take you in a completely different direction in life 1,2,3...5-10 years from now.
Being in that kind of vibration can only attract to you more of the same.......

This phrase is so important I'll say it again:
The only person that we hurt by not letting go of our anger is ourselves.
Till next time monitor your thoughts...
Let me know if there is a way I can support you, it will be my pleasure.
May only good things happen to you.

Better Tweet than The News"Create Your own Economy"

2009-03-20T05:25:00.000-07:00

Better Tweet than The News...."Create Your own Economy"

Do you find this as interesting as I do?

It looks like people on Twitter can always find positive things to say, we share good information,learning new skills,working on Self Development,we focus on moving forward in life regardless of "The Economy"I feel good.Just radiating positive Energy!
But take 2 minutes and read the Titles in "The News" and feel down, sad and defeated.
"Which one should I choose?"
It happens to everybody,Unfortunately many times we are not even aware how things we read or hear can change the vibration we are in therefore setting the pace for our RESULTS in Life.
In the last couple of years I have been studying "The Mind", working on Self Improvement,walking away from "Victim-hood Mentality" still lots to do but at least I recognize it and work hard to minimize it.
You know, we learn all our Beliefs and Habits(good or bad) from people we trust and respect - authority figures in our life so the logical thing to do to get rid of some of the bad Habits and learn some new Good Habits and Beliefs by finding new people we trust, NO?
But sometimes it seams that we just listen to ANYONE who is willing to give us advice, it doesn't even accrue to us that we SHOULD and CAN choose the people we take advice from,people we follow.
So my suggestion would be... before you take advice from someone ask yourself: Does this person know what they are talking about?
Find a few people that achieved the results you would like to achieve in life and then "COPY" , learn from them.,do what they do,mastermind with successful people.
"It is the only way to change the direction you go in Life"- YOUR Life
Sending positive vibes your way.

In your heart, what do you Believe it's possible for you to achieve in the next year?Let's mastermind!

2009-03-01T10:26:00.000-08:00

Give your mind a break today.
Then sit down and really analyze your "beliefs".

Listening to my mentor today made me realize how important it is to constantly reevaluate our beliefs. Thank you Paul.
Having someone you trust, challenge your old beliefs on regular bases will help you walk faster towards your goals.
Remember, what you believe you can achieve is based on the evaluation of something and you really need to know what that something is.
Take some time today and think.

1. In your heart, what do you believe it's possible for you to achieve in the next year?

2. Why do you believe this is possible for you?

Lets mastermind!

Let's grow together.Ford knew this is the Key to success.

Have a phenomenal day.

Talk to you soon.

"Success" is energy in the most organized state of vibration.

2009-02-24T04:57:00.000-08:00

"Success" is energy in the most organized state of vibration.
Start working towards your "Success"in any area of your life

Last couple of days I had some rejuvenating conversations with a sweet friend of mine.Probably this subject will help many others find their purpose in life.
How do we define success?
Success Is finding the circumstances necessary for advancing in the diction of our goals but most important if we can't find them we go out and create the circumstances we need.
Success is getting things done.
Success is energy, a certain group of thought that form an idea.
Success is energy in the most organized state of vibration that motivates people to take action - Positive or Negative action depending on our environment,our knowledge or our ability to direct ourselves in life.
Tomorrow we can debate what does it take to start working towards being "Successful".
Please bring on your challenge.

Hope to find you reading here tomorrow.
Have a blessed and Successful day.
From the bottom of my hearth.

One of the most important factors in your "Success"is your environment

2009-02-21T17:03:00.000-08:00

One of the most important factors in your success is your environment, the people you surround yourself with.
What is it that motivates people to do the things they do, to say the things they say and to achieve the things they achieve?
Our genetic structure makes up a lot of what we believe and a lot of what we are but not near as important as our environment
The outside world is the predominant influence of what we are or what we become.
Most people make this decision unconsciously.
Successful people make this choice consciously, they choose the people they associate with, they chose their friends carefully.
Now when it comes to family it's a little harder. But as my mentor very often said "Just don't go so often and don't stay too long".
Do you choose the people you surround yourself with?
You see "Success" is energy in the most organized state of vibration.
So , your home work starting today make a conscious decision to surround yourself with successful people.
Have questions challenge me....
Talk to you soon.

Do we need to change our habits?No, if we want to be in the same place 20 years from now.

2009-02-16T06:29:00.000-08:00

Do we need to change our habits?

No, if we want to be in the same place 20 years from now.
Just being comfortable in life is a bad spot.
Lets be honest, to advance in life we have to change some of our most cherished beliefs and habits.
Habits are things we do automatically without giving them any conscious thought.
Most people tip-toe trough life hoping they are gonna make it safely to death!!!
Think about it please! This is not a practice run. It's not like we just need to learn how to do it perfectly and then we can come back and do it. No,no,no..... THIS IS IT FOLKS. We only have one shot at it.
So be opened minded,learn something new everyday,change some of your not so good habits and beliefs, TAKE RISKS (that's what keeps us alive). Do not follow the "Herd", be you and do what you love the most,be with people you love and surround yourself with positive people.
Change one habit you think doesn't serve you today and please let me know about it.
Hope to meet you here again.

Leave a message if you like what you hear. Or challenge me with your thought provoking questions.

Have a successful day.

Doing the same thing and EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS-You have the power to decide where you will be 1,5,10 years from now

2009-02-12T13:55:00.000-08:00

Do you know that the smallest change in Attitude will change the direction of your life dramatically?
Changed Attitude = Changed RESULTS

One clear sign of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.
What is attitude anyways?
Very simply said ATTITUDE is the composite of Thought, Feeling and Action.
First and most important to understand is that we think in pictures!
Think of something and a picture of that particular thing flashes on the screen of your mind(in front of your eyes).
As Human beings we have the ability to choose our thoughts. We can think negative thoughts, that will keep our body in a negative vibration or we can bring positive pictures on the screen of our mind and set our body in POSITIVE vibration. It's up to US.
So to take this further when We think Positive we set our body in a positive vibration(we feel positive) so the Actions we take that day are Positive.

``Thought of The Day``- as soon as you feel you are in a negative vibration bring all kind of positive pictures to your mind and I promise your RESULTS THAT DAY will be positive. I challenge you to try for today.
Next time we`ll talk about habits and beliefs.

May only good thing happen to you today.

We have to know that we will achieve our goals!!!

2009-02-10T05:19:00.000-08:00

"Do you realize that your life at this very moment is the result of everything that you have ever thought, done, believed or felt up until now? You can start right now to consciously and deliberately attract whatever you desire in this lifetime."Jack Canfield

We have to know that we will achieve our goals!!!
How can we do that? Knowledge!
We must study, learn about ourselves, learn something new every single day, we must give ourselves task and achieve them everyday.

Very Important: Please read the next phrase a few times.
One very important part of the puzzle is to surround yourself with successful people,goal achievers.
Form a MASTERMIND GROUP. The people you surround yourself with are more important to your success than your genetics.

Talk to you soon.

“I refuse to participate in The Recession”

2009-02-06T05:56:00.000-08:00

You don’t have to buy into everything you hear.
Media is programing us 24/7 with lack and limitation, with...why things can't be done in this economy,etc.We can choose to create our own economy.
Opportunity can be found even when the economy seems to be sliding, we are empowered with our own thought process our own conscious awareness to do, be and have what we want in life.
We have the power to switch our thinking around and come up with creative ideas.
When you are excited and have good energy, believe in yourself people are attracted to you because you are a bright bulb.
First step - as soon as you wake up start thinking about something positive,something that makes you smile,start your day by being grateful for everything positive that happened in your life yesterday.
Next time time will talk about our marvellous mind.
Have a phenomenal day, you have the power to do so.
Lorena
