The Power of Faith

Most people think:” I’ll belive it when I see it”. But reality works the other way: You see it if you believe it. This has been stated many times, by great thinkers, and in all time classic bestsellers like the Bible, because it’s true. Whatever you belive in with feeling, becomes your reality. If you [...]

Fly With The Eagles

Your reference group, or in other words, the people you hang out with, have a great impact on you. You unconsciously, and unwillingly copy their attitudes, their behaviour, their thinking patterns and feelings, and these are the things, that will determine your success in life. If you are around people who are always complaining, who [...]

How To Bring Out The Best Of People

November 16th, 2011 admin

Did you know, that people instinctively grow up to the expectations of others? This means, that  if for example you expect somebody to be trustworthy, they will subconsciously feel this, and soon will become really trustworthy. This is simply human nature. Wether you expect good or bad of people, they will act accordingly. In some study years ago, researchers interviewed prisoners, and most of them reported that their mother said to them over and over again, that “Son, one day you’ll go to prison”. So, be careful what you expect from people.

But why do people act the way we expect them to act? You see, nobody has a really clear image about himself, the only mirror they can rely on are other people. If other people treat them well, they will think and feel that they are worthy of good things and act accordingly. If you expect good things, it will change their sellf-image, and they will start to believe in themselves, and as we know, belief creates the fact, so they will become better people.

The good thing is, that you don’t even have to tell them what you expect from them,  you just have to act and talk and look at them according to your expectations. They will feel it. For example, one day I was with my older brother, looked at him, and seen that his about to do an “evil scheme” with me, you know a playful one, but still an evil scheme. He stated my name, like he’s about to burn me to the ground… Then I heard a voice inside my head: “Seek the highest and the best in everyone”. I looked deep into my brother’s eyes, seeking the highest and the best that is within him, then a miracle happened: His facial expression changed, his eyes started to sparkle, a smile appeared on his face, and told me: “I… just want to hug you”.

Seek and expect the highest and the best in everyone.

Follow Your Bliss

June 27th, 2011 admin

“When you follow your bliss, doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn’t be a door for anyone else.” – Joseph Campbell

In life, it’s easy to end up in the “wrong place.”

We’re doing a job we hate. We’re living with people we dislike. We’re keeping secrets, when we’d rather be open and genuine.

We get stuck and don’t feel authentic, because we’re not truly doing what we want.

Does that sound like you? If so, you need to find what makes you truly happy.

American mythologist Joseph Campbell summed up that process of seeking your own true happiness and authenticity in three simple words: “Follow your bliss.”

Sometimes in life, we all stray and lose direction. We’re half- way up a ladder we didn’t want to climb, rather than at the bottom of one that we do. By not following our bliss, we permanently limit our happiness and stop ourselves truly enjoying our lives.

Are you following your bliss? One thing bliss is not – and that’s money.

Bliss is what you’re doing when you’re wrapped up in the moment. When you’re so thrilled just to be doing it, it ceases even to be work anymore. Your bliss occurs when you’re living in the moment, and time doesn’t really matter anymore.

My bliss is helping to run a number of really big businesses, while teaching self-development. In fact, I love it so much that I’m typing this rule while on holiday in Thailand. It’s not for the money, it’s for the pleasure. I’m immersed in my own bliss.

So, what’s YOUR bliss?

You may love teaching tube surfing on the beaches of Australia. Or running your own small accountancy firm. Or helping teenagers discover and appreciate the world of art.

When you were a child, and played with a kite, you were immersed in your bliss.

As an adult, what makes you feel like that again? And how can you increase that in your life?

Follow your bliss.

You know, I have a theory that absolutely everyone in life knows what they need to do in order to become happy. It’s just that most aren’t brave enough to take the steps to do it.

So, that’s your challenge.

Take those steps, follow your bliss – and you will be happy.

How to Effectively Grow Your Network

April 28th, 2011 admin

Growing the network of people you know is really important, for the more people you know, the more opportunities, possibilities, and fun you have.

Here are some steps that you can take to grow your network effectively:

  1. Participate in social and business events related to your interests.
  2. Go, and introduce yourself to people. If you are a shy person, do it anyway, it’s only hard the first few times, then it becomes more natural and easy.
  3. Smile :)
  4. Ask them about their business, and find ways to help them. Maybe you’ve got a great idea, or can send customers to them.
  5. Tell them what you do in a way that it sounds like a cool mission.
  6. Give them your business card, and ask for theirs. Take a look at their business card before you put it into your wallet. It shows that you respect them, and that you appreciate the fact that they gave it to you.
  7. Find something good in them or what they do and make a compliment. Do this honestly.
  8. Make them feel valuable and important.
  9. In your free time, take time to think who you can help in your network. Do help them, without expecting anything in return. You’ll have a great reputation, and people will love to give it back to you.
  10. For those whom you want to build a closer relationship with, organize parties, social events. Ask them to bring their friends, and network with them as well.

Say Yes More

April 27th, 2011 admin

“I will say yes to every favour, request, suggestion and invitation. I will swear to say yes where once I would say no.” – Danny Wallace

“No!” is a wonderful word.

It’s powerful, it’s universally understood, and it stops everything in its tracks. By saying no, you’re instantly slamming the door and holding it shut, ensuring nothing else gets through.

But how many of us say “No!” way too often?

You see, “No” really holds us back in life. It closes us off to many of life’s wonderful experiences, and causes us to resist what happens around us.

When we say no, we’re swimming against the current. When we say yes, we’re swimming with the current.

Which do you think is easiest? Which produces less stress? Which is faster, and more enjoyable?

We say “NO!” to life’s funny randomness, when a passing bus splashes rainwater all over our new jeans. We shout “NO!” to our emotions, resisting and fighting grief, when our pet rat passes away. We yell “NO!” when we don’t get that promotion, which we’d been working so hard to achieve.

Long story short: we say NO to everything, too often.

We fight against what happens to us in life, rather than allowing it to be as it is. We resist it, rather than accepting it. We say “No!” rather than saying “Yes” – or even just “Okay.”

By saying “Yes!” more to life, we go with the flow. Things become more enjoyable and positive, less stressful and anxious, and often the situation turns out for the better regardless.

So, SAY YES MORE.

And what about saying “Yes!” more socially too? Say “Yes!” when you’re invited to that party. Say “Yes!” when you’re asked if you’d like lunch with the boys. Say “Yes!” when you’ve asked to go on that speed dating night, which you wouldn’t normally even consider.

(That’s what Danny Wallace did in his great comedy cum self-help book “Yes Man.” He said yes more. It changed his life.)

So, if you’d like to flow more with the current of life… If you’d like to inject a little more excitement into your day… If you’d like to enjoy the random twist and turns of fate…

Then SAY YES MORE.

The Australians call it a “bias for yes.” The Spanish say “Si a todo.” Buddhists describe it as flowing with the river of life. In this book, we simply say yes more.

Try it out, even if just for a week. It’ll change your world.

Say yes more – and you will be happy.

The First Step to Become Wealthy

April 26th, 2011 admin

Wealth never occurs by chance. Every wealthy person once decided that they will become wealthy, so your first step to become wealthy is that you decide that you are going to be wealthy. With this firm decision in you, your mind will filter events, and will start to spot opportunities that have the potential to bring you big money. If you don’t have this decision, your mind won’t take care of these.

Your decision has to be a strong one. If it is a hope or a wish, it won’t work out. Once I talked to a legionnaire, who told me, that when they got on a deployment, they were told, that the only words that were permitted to say when reporting to the headquarters were: ” Mission accomplished”. If they couldn’t do that the headquarters didn’t send the helicopter to bring them back, they would’ve been left there in Afrcia, or wherever they were. Your decision has to be this strong. Like 50 cent said : “Get Rich Or Die Trying”

How To Be Loved

March 24th, 2011 admin

The first step to become a beloved person is to love yourself first. There are two reasons for this:

  1. If you love and accept yourself, you will love and accept others. They will feel this, and in return, they will love you.
  2. Others treat you the way you treat yourself. If you love yourself, other people will feel this, and will think that you are a lovable person, so they will love you.

It’s that simple. You can reinforce the love that you feel for yourself by stating the affirmation “I love myself” over and over again.

How To Keep Yourself Motivated

March 17th, 2011 admin

When you work on a goal, you may feel discouraged sometimes, and you may loose your motivation. When this happens, write down all the benefits that will come with your reached goal. Imagine these benefits, and think about how would they change your life, how would you feel with them. If you have enough good reasons to achieve your goals, you will get back your motivation every time you think of the benefits that you wrote down.

Another good motivator is when you think about the pain that will come to you if you don’t reach your goal. This pain can be the pain of a lonely life, of unworthiness, of shame, the pain of working on job that you hate, or anything else. If you just think of these, you can be sure that you will get back your motivation.

Walking Step-by-Step

March 16th, 2011 admin

If you have a huge financial goal, give yourself enough time to achieve it. Break it down to small, realistic steps. Wanting a lot and wanting it fast can lead to discouragement if you notice that you are not getting what you want in that short period of time, and this can lead to giving up your big dream for your whole life. Great wealth rarely occurs overnight. It can happen, but it’s rare. Give yourself enough time. It doesn’t matter if you achieve your million dollars in one year, or ten years. What matters, is that you enjoy the excitement of the process. It’s not the destination that counts, but the journey. Of course it’s good to get there, but you will notice that it wouldn’t be as good to arrive, if you had no mountain to climb.

So, be patient, give yourself time, be happy with what you have now, and enjoy the present moment. That’s one big secret to successfully achieving your million dollar dream.

Creating Your Ideal Self

March 14th, 2011 admin

You can be anything you want to be, if you know what you want to be :)

Successful men and women are very clear about the person they want to be. Having a clear picture of your ideal self will move you toward it.

Do you know exactly who do you want to be?

If not, take time to think about it. Try to write down your values, your skills, your attitude, your look, your behaviour. Stephen Covey suggests that you write down how you want to be remembered at your own funeral. This is a great exercise, because it will bring up your deepest and truest human values.

When you’re finished with the list, take time everyday to read it in the morning, then act accordingly all day long. At night, right before falling asleep, imagine yourself acting like the person you want to be, in all areas of your life. Imagine yourself being excellent at work, being very friendly with people, or having great sex with your love. Imagining in your mind, is like practicing in reality. The mind will get used to the pictures of your success, and you will tend to act the ideal way in reality.

Be Grateful

March 14th, 2011 admin

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhardt

We live in a fast-paced, microwave, drive-thru, Buy-It-Now society.

It’s a society that has forgotten to be truly grateful for the things around it. We only tend to be grateful for things when we no longer have them.

Think of the sense of relief you gain when you just get over an illness, and are so thankful that your turbulent tummy has now settled. Consider how appreciative you are when those tests come back clear. Or when the speeding camera doesn’t flash. Or when you finally find your lost child in the supermarket.

These are the moments in life when we realise how blessed we truly are.

Yet how many of us truly appreciate that on a day-to-day basis?

My guess is very few of us. We only become grateful of things when we think we don’t have them.

But here’s the thing: by counting our blessings every day, in a very literal way, we become happier people. Research across the globe in countless studies has proven this over and over again.

So, when was the last time YOU were truly grateful?

Think of all the wonderful things you have to be grateful for right now. It could be your family. Or your health. Maybe your home. Your friends. Your brain. Your heart. Your spirit. Even your DVD collection.

We’ve all got amazing things in our own lives that make us smile with joy. Things that bring a secret, loving tear to our eyes.

And if we can only learn to count these blessings every day, we’ll discover a true happiness and greater appreciation of the beautiful world we surround ourselves with.

So, if you can, make that part of your daily ritual. Count your blessings, briefly in the morning, and briefly at night. Then smile at the world for sending such great things your way.

Be grateful – and you will be happy.
