Key to Success - Part 1

Key to Success - Part 1
In my work I meet lots of people who read many self-help books, listen to great CDs, go to motivational seminars, know a lot, and yet somehow nothing, or very little seems to go the right way in their lives. Why is that? Why having all this knowledge is not making them successful? When I talk about success I talk about success in all areas of your life, professional, money, relationships, friendships, spiritual life (not necessarily religious life) as we are one person and we can not separate those areas. One area affects all other areas.

So, why all the knowledge they accumulated through those great books is not getting them where they want to be?

They are where I was some time ago. They have the pieces of the success puzzle scattered all over their table and they desperately try to put the puzzle together and the pieces do not fit. Sometimes, they might wonder if all those pieces come from the same puzzle as nothing seems to fit at all. I used to ask myself the same question. I owned over 70 self-help books, over 250 hours of motivational tapes and I went to every seminar I could. Why wasn’t that enough?

Knowledge without the understanding of that knowledge is not enough. You might say that you understand it, but if you have all the knowledge and still things in your life do not go your way, that’s means you do not understand the knowledge enough to apply it. I thought I understood it, but soon I realized that I did only in some degree, not enough to achieve success.

A great tool that will help you with understanding of the knowledge is Thought Mail, free personalized motivational messages that come Monday through Friday.

Reflection In the Mirror

We very often blame everything and everyone around us for the things that happen to us. We say I would be very successful in my business if the economy wasn’t bad. I would have great relationships if my spouse/partner changed his/her behavior, I would have lots of fun time if I had great friends, etc.  Let me explain something to you.

Imagine you are looking in a mirror. What do you see? You see your reflection. Let’s say you are wearing a white top. Can you change the reflection in the mirror? I mean change the actual white color of your top into blue in the reflection in the mirror? No, it is impossible to change the actual reflection. The only way you can change the reflection is to change the object that is reflected. If you want to change the color of your top in your reflection you have to change the top you have on, to a blue one, to see your reflection with the blue top. You see your whole life, in every area, money, relationships, health, friendships, spiritual life ( not necessary religious ) is a reflection of what you are thinking. We are trying to change people, change circumstances and that is a futile task. It is like changing a reflection in a mirror. Impossible task! The only way you can change your life (the reflection) is changing your thoughts ( the object that is reflected). When you change your thoughts you will find that the reflection is going to change. Your life will change. The business that wasn’t doing well suddenly starts picking up, the relationship that was on the rocks becomes a dream come true. Your family becomes more loving, friends are different and the list goes on. And one day you look at the mirror and you gasp at the reflection. It will be just awesome. And you will know that all it took was to change how you think.

Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.”
Andre Maurois, 1885-1967, Author

P.S.
Concentrate on great things. Let go of the small unimportant ones.

“Nothing Happens Until Something Moves”

“Nothing happens until something moves.” – Albert Einstein.

How true! You can set the most magnificent goal, you can have the most amazing dream, but if you don’t act on it nothing is going to happen. Thinking and acting are two lines of the same highway. You can not achieve your dream without the right thinking, but the right thinking is not enough to get you to your dream. You have to act on it!

Imagine you are a fisherman or fisherwoman. You decided you are going to have the most successful day in your life and you are going to catch many fish. You are all excited as you know how to think in the right way. You go to your living room, set on your couch and you think positively. You think that you are catching  so many fish, so many…  At the end of the day you look around and you ask yourself, “Where are the fish?” No, fish. You see, you can not get it by thinking only. In order for you to get catch the fish, you have to go and get your boat and go to the sea, and you have to do all the necessary things in order to catch them. It is not going to happen by itself.

There are two basic ingredients of success; right thought and action, and you have to apply both in order to succeed. So, remember, thinking in a right way is great, but “Nothing happens until something moves.”

Staying Focused on Your Goals

How often we set goals and we get very excited about them. We can see ourselves having or living the fantastic dream and then we face an obstacle. What happens then, in most of the time, is that we concentrate on the obstacle. We analyze it, look at it from different angles and soon instead of concentrating on our objective, that is our dream, we get engulfed by the obstacle. By doing that we made the obstacle grow to a size of a mountain, and we lose sight of our goal. It is like driving a car, paying attention to the road which leads us to the destination – our goal, and suddenly having a big bug splashing on our windshield, just in front of our eyes. We try to concentrate on the road and there it is, that big spot, just in the middle of our view.  It is just a bug, and we can still see where we are going, yet for many people that bug takes over and soon it feels to them like the whole windshield is covered with it.

My advice to you is: concentrate on the road to your goal and forget the bug. Don’t let the bug, bug your life. After all it is only a bug. Don’t let the dead bug control YOUR life!

How Do I Change My Thinking? …continuation

You have learned in the last blog, that the first thing you need to do to change your thinking is to start talking to yourself the way you really deserve.

The second thing is to change what it is that you are thinking about. Your world is a mirror reflection of what you think. You can never change the reflection in the mirror without changing the object that is reflected in it first. In this case the reflection in the mirror is your life, the people in it and how they react to you, and treat you. The object we are talking about here that is reflected in the mirror, is you. The only way to change anything in your life is to change yourself. What it is that you are thinking about most of the day? Are you worrying, are you scared that bad things can happen to you? Are you afraid of sickness, or that you won’t be able to get that job, or to pay those bills, or to get that promotion, or to make that sale? If that is so, then realize, that everything you think about is what you are getting in your life. You get everything you worry about, everything  you are scared of or afraid of. So, what it is that you want in your life? If you want something different than think about what you want. Concentrate on the great things you want. Use the incredible potential you have to create your life the way you want. You can do it! You are born to do it. If you have any doubts about that, email me amanda@totallyuniqueideas.com

Remember, abundance is your birth right. Claim your right!

This is the only way you should see yourself. Why? Because that is the truth about you.

How Do I Change My Thinking?

You set your goals and now you realize that in order to achieve them you need to change your thinking. How do you do that?

Who is the person we talk to all day long? It is us. We talk to ourselves all the time. What is that you tell yourself? Do you tell yourself, that you can not achieve your goal, that you set it too high and it is unrealistic? Do you get mad at yourself when you make a mistake, or lost an opportunity, or simply that you are not smart enough to achieve what you want? Do you tell yourself, that you are too fat, too ugly, too….etc, etc.? If this is what you are telling yourself everyday, THAT IS WHO YOU ARE!

The point here is that all of the above are LIES! You are lying to yourself. The truth is you are amazing, brilliant, intelligent, handsome, pretty, special and unique. You are capable of achieving anything in life, but for you in order to achieve it you need to see yourself for what you really are, the amazing human being!

First thing you need to tell yourself the truth. You need to get up every morning and tell yourself while you looking at your reflection in the mirror how special you are. Tell yourself how smart, how brilliant, how handsome, beautiful and amazing….person you are. Talk to yourself like that all day, build yourself up instead of putting yourself down. See the beauty and brilliance in you. And pat yourself on the back every time you do a great job. Remember what people see in you and what they think about you is the reflection of what you are talking to yourself about all day long. So, the next time you want to make a comment about yourself to yourself, think what it is that you want others to think about you.

Thoughts and Actions

Thoughts and Actions.
Have you ever heard about the definition of insanity? Most of the sales people have.

The definition of insanity, is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. How it is really explained to us, and how it was explained to me; that if we take the same actions and we expect different results, that is the definition of insanity.  We know that there is truth to it but it really goes much, much deeper than that. If you change actions, for example you make more sales appointments you will get more sales and better results this way. Yes, you will change your results, but only a little. You will never achieve your dream by doing that. The real meaning of the definition of insanity is thinking the same way and expecting different results. It is never going to happen!!! Our actions are results of what we think and they produce results. So if we are thinking the same way, we will act the same way and we will have the same results we always had. Only when we change our thinking, we will change our results. When you think in a different way, you will act in a different way and you will achieve your dream. Where you are at this moment is the result of what you have been thinking till now. And that is great news, because they are your thoughts and you can change them any time!

Always remember, you have absolute power to transform your life. What you need to do is to transform your thinking.

You Set Your Goal. Now What?

On a very special day, you set down and you wrote your goals. You wrote on a piece of paper or on your computer what it is that you really want. You wrote about you dreams. You probably looked at them and wondered, and now what? What am I going to do to achieve them?

You don’t have to know how to achieve it. You have to believe that you are going to achieve this goal. Believing in achieving your goal is not enough. The right thinking and the best positive thinking you can imagine is not enough to achieve your goal. You have to act on the idea. You have to make a plan of action.

How do you start?

You start by taking another piece of paper or just sit at your computer and start writing. You need to write what is the best you can do, with what you have, from where you are. Write everything that comes to your mind. Keep writing until you run out of ideas. Then stop. Look at what you wrote and answer a question for yourself. “Is this the best I can do?” Then write some more ideas. Then ask the same question again. When nothing comes to your mind, start acting on your ideas. Never stop! Ad new ideas and keep the ball rolling until it hits the goal.
