It has been some time since I have said anything. Do I apologize? Do I explain my absence? Or do I just continue as though life is the same? I feel that I need to express what is going on in my life to the people that have taken the time to enter my domain and have shown a genuine interest in what I have to say. Thank you all.
Through my own journey of personal development, I have discovered that you do have control of your thoughts. Sometimes though those thoughts will take you where you really wish not to go. But my god at least I know that I have the ability in me to change the path of my thoughts, even though it may appear a difficult road.
There have been a number of changes as of late in my daily routine. I have taken on new responsibilities – a new job – that in it’s own is hard enough. I am continuing to operate a business for a good friend that is going through major changes and challenges. I am also promoting a personal development program that I believe is the best on the market.
Then my Mum, my hero, is rushed to hospital.
Life changes.
Life changes dramatically.
She is OK. But Life Changes.
Priorities change.
It’s time to rethink. Take another look. Time to focus.
I found this today on MySpace. It fits perfectly with my own journey of personal development and wanted to share with you in the hope that it can and will assist you on your own journey.
We sometimes walk around with our head in the sky or even blind folded and miss the possibility of a new opportunity to change for the better. It is my determination to open my mind to the endless possibilities that unfold in front of me every moment of every day. And to take that to the next step and take action. The capability of taking these possibilities and expanding is in us all. It is our choice whether we choose to take action.
When you read these short lines think back on the day and the possibilities that presented themselves to you and how you reacted. It may be an eye opener, the jolt you need to move forward to take action and accept change with the new possibility!
Possibility has no colour, form or shape.
You could walk right past possibility everyday and not notice.
Once you see possibility, it is really impossible to ignore.
Possibility has no voice, yet it can move you to act on it’s behalf.
Possibility has no weight, yet can achieve momentum that is impossible to stop.
Possibility has no direct value of it’s own, yet is in the heart of everything of worth.
Possibility motivates your actions and changes your thinking when you see it.
Possibility is difficult to deny once you know and understand it.
With your active help and involvement, possibility will bring things you only imagined.
Do you see POSSIBILITY?
It is yours when you do.
Until next time ……… don’t forget to open your mind ………..
This is a wonderful story of Sylvester Stallone told by his friend Tony Robbins. We all know the movie Rocky but do we know the real story? Listen to Tony tell the story. After listening you may take another look at your goals and how much desire you have to achieve them. Never give up on your dream. Make sure your actions are taking you closer to your goals. You may climb many mountains and tumble backwards getting there but with determination and persistence, you will reach your goal.
In the corporate world and your job, you more than likely a contributor to the success of the company you work for. Your good performance, excellent attitude towards work and strong work ethics, all contribute to your boss seeing you as being an outstanding employee. And you enjoy working so hard everyday, you feel that you are where you should be.
Then one day, you feel like not going to work anymore. While working you lose focus easily. Attending meetings or simply the idea work again the following day make you bored and you feel tired. Even the way the clock ticks bore you so much that you want move away from your desk. You become easily irritated with your colleagues. You usually want to be alone, isolate yourself from the crowd. What happened? BURN OUT, that’s what happened.
If you’re drained physically and emotionally due to stress, take heart. You are definitely not alone struggling against burn out.
Irregardless of the possible reason, burn out is a common symptom of losing motivation and stress especially if you do the same kind of tasks everyday. Loose motivation and you will not see success. Remember, for you to win and succeed, you will have to develop personal mastery and perseverance to your personal success. But the question is: are you ready?
Listen to your inner boss:
Congratulate yourself on the smallest of accomplishments.
Re-itemize your goals:
Without definite goals, you are working for the system, not you.
Direct your thoughts on personal success
See yourself as already successful. Focus on success and you will regret nothing.
Sound easy? It really is but you must have the burning desire to succeed, not just a wish. Loosing focus will make loose motivation. Trust me, I’ve been there. Never ever loose focus. Always keep those goals in focus. Sure you may drift from time to time. But for you to start that engine again will take more energy each time you start over. We all get complacent, we all get lazy.
Ask yourself each and every morning: Is this really where I want to be? Is this it? Most of us dream of a better life, a more fulfilled life.
Well don’t just stand there – do something about it!
