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

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.

How to shift from survival mode to growth mode.

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.

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.

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!

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.

and i'm sure many others in Ottawa

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

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.

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.
