Choosing to Be happy is the Key to Invite Meaning into your Experience

Inviting meaning and fulfilment into your experience, starts with you making one of the most important and satisfying choices you will ever make in your life, namely the choice to allow yourself to experience true joy and happiness. Remember happiness is always a choice and the level of happiness you will get to experience every day can never be dependent on any exte al factors. When you have made the choice to be happy and you make the decision that no extrinsic factors, no matter how challenging, will ever affect how you feel.

Where are you headed?

Action Idea: Set aside some quiet time today, to allow you to walk into the future, where you can invest some time to explore and discover, exactly what you would like to experience when you get there, one day? After uncovering all you desire, pack a suitcase filled with all these pictures of possibility and bring them back to today.r

Do What you Love, Or love What you do

Is your greatest aspiration in life to retire one day and sit under a coconut tree? I challenge you to grasp all the possibilities available to you and to accept that to live a life of meaning and fulfillment, a life where you will get the greatest pleasure and satisfaction, requires you to commit to stay involved in doing something you love and at the same time trying to make the world a better place. I am not necessarily talking about just doing earth shattering work or ground breaking work. I am talking about committing to find a way to do what you love and to love what you do.

Whatever Gets Measured Gets Done

The thing you need to consider as you review your actions, daily, weekly and monthly, is whether they are delivering the desired results. Planning is important, but unless you are ensuring that you are taking the right actions every day, they remain just words on a piece of paper. Assess your progress as often as possible to ensure that your actions are delivering the desired results. Follow a simple cycle of “Plan, Do, Review and then if necessary Improve the actions you are taking”. To succeed, all you need to do is to keep repeating this cycle, until you achieve the results you desire.

Overcome Fear and Invite Success into your Experience

Are you destroying your ambition for meaningful success, because you are allowing yourself to remain trapped in FEAR? Fear, as you know, is our way of looking at our world and seeing “False Experiences Appearing Real”, instead of exploring our world and seeing opportunity and possibility. How often do you look at a possible situation and fill your head with all sorts of negative self-talk, filling your head with all the possible ways you can fail and only looking at all the ways things can go wrong?

Share in the Abundance, Which Ebbs and Flows all Around Us

I very often get asked by people, why I write an article every day, in which I aspire to add inspiration to as many people’s lives as possible and freely share my take on personal development. They cannot understand how I can give so freely to others and ask nothing in return. My answer is always very simple, we live in an abundant universe and the more we are willing to share and give to others. The more open we are to receive ourselves.

Who doesn’t want to be a Winner?

Yes, I know it is not politically correct for you to want to want to be a winner. The truth though, is that inside; we all have a desire to be one. I believe that we are all engineered for accomplishment, designed for success and that we are all endowed with incredible potential to be great. If any of this offends you, read no further, because, this article will challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone and may ask you a few uncomfortable questions about why you have not realised all the possibilities, which are available to you.

How can You Turn Tiny Sparks of energy into success?

re you and your company still doing business the same way you did 12 months ago or worse still, are you still operating your business the same way you did 5 or 10 years ago? Our grandfathers could afford to keep doing business the same way they had for decades, as the business cycle in the 1950’s was estimated to be around 50 years. The ever increasing pace of technological advancement and other changes, has dramatically shortened this cycle and today that same business cycle, is estimated to be as short as 16 months.

Allow your Dreams to Soar in 2013

If you feel like you have tried really hard in the past to realise your dreams, but you feel like nothing ever seems to go right for you, you are not alone. The majority of people I speak to feel exactly the same way. They feel like they have tried really hard in the past, but nothing ever seems to go right for them. They feel like they just don’t have what it takes to achieve greatness.

Stop Attempting to Solve Problems Any Longer – Just Make Different Decisions

Working with the concept of problem solving, introduces a number of challenges for me. I believe that what we think about, we most certainly, through our thoughts and actions, eventually bring about. So the very act of viewing something as a problem causes us to engage in negative thought processes. These negative thought processes sees us approaching any event which has occurred from a very negative standpoint. We view the event as something we need to overcome, rather than simply an event, which has occurred that, is not aligned with the outcome we want to achieve.

Unleash the power of visualization

Have you got any idea where your life or business will be one year or five years from now, or are you satisfied to leave that to chance? You are most certainly going to arrive somewhere, one year or five years from now. My question to you is “WHERE” is that going to be. You can continue to fly by the seat of your pants and hope that things will work out, or you can finally make a far wiser choice and create a crystal clear written down vision for how you want your future to turn out.

Is your pursuit of “Money” what you really want?

Is your pursuit of “SUCCESS” giving you a skewed perspective on what is really important and is it creating imbalance in some areas of your life? Society’s definition of success, fame, fortune and bucket loads of money can be completely misaligned with what is really important to you. This misalignment will cause you to experience stress and although you may start to acquire the trappings of what society believes are the measure of success, you will still feel out of alignment and there will be no harmony in your life.

How Committed are you?

Before any motor race, the drivers of the various cars compete with one another to try to be the fastest during the qualifying rounds, so that they can earn pole position at the start of the race. The driver in pole position starts in the front of the race and does not need to work to try to pass anyone else during the race. He simply needs to hold his position and he or she will win the race.

Understanding how to get from mediocrity to super achievement

The best way to convert a fantasy or a dream into a goal, which you can readily achieve, is to write your dream or fantasy down and then to formulate a broad plan to achieve that goal. This simple step begins the process, of goal achievement, by creating something concrete in your mind. This then programs your mind to start looking for opportunities, which are aligned with turning your intangible dreams and fantasies into real and meaningful realized outcomes. Get Clarity

Happiness Should be Your Drug of Choice

Unfortunately your brain does not come with an operator’s manual. So understanding how to use it optimally may seem very difficult and in some cases even overwhelming. Trying to understand that your body creates some really powerful chemicals, which can affect your mood and how you feel, can be rather intimidating and just trying to pronounce all the different names can be challenging enough, without trying to understand what all the different chemicals all do for us.

To Network using social media or not to Network that is the question.

Keynote Motivational Speakers - If you want your company to stand head and shoulders above the competition, you must commit to use a blend of traditional networking strategies combined with a targeted social media strategy. Traditional networking requires face to face meeting and developing meaningful connections with people that can make a difference in your life or business. A targeted social media strategy requires that you use the incredible volume of information and contacts available on the internet, but you carefully select who you will target and connect with.

Prospect only qualified Leads

You can never expect to consistently exceed your sales targets, unless you learn the art of utilising your available time as effectively as possible every day. Time is a limited resource, which when invested wisely will allow you to achieve remarkable results and when wasted, will keep you trapped in average. Chasing after every possible lead or prospect, without first qualifying them, is as effective as screaming at an approaching tornado and demanding it go away.

Spread your Grace and Blessings Freely

Almost everyone I have met wants to make a difference during their lifetimes, to leave some sort of a legacy after they have completed their last revolution around the sun. Making a difference is not just about volunteering to assist people, who come from a less advantaged background than you do. If you want to begin making a real difference, it is time to shift your thinking away from seeing making a difference as an event or something you must do. Make the shift today and start to see, making a difference, as a new way of being. See it as a new way of conducting yourself.

Designing your Power Plan for Peak Performance

Success always leaves clues. No one around you that has achieved great success has done so in a vacuum. The path they have traveled, to achieve the remarkable success they have achieved, is paved with their own personal recipe or brand for success. One of the easiest ways to invite similar levels of success into your own experience is to explore what they did and to uncover their recipe. This recipe can then form the foundation you use for building your own “success blue print” or strategic plan. If you fail to plan, you are most certainly planning to fail.

Is your Conversation with yourself, serving you?

Research shows that we are talking to ourselves every waking moment and even during some of the time, when we are sleeping. It shows that there is an on-going dialogue, which we hold with ourselves, about everything going on. I am sure that you are no different and that you are also conducting a running dialogue with yourself, every moment of every day. This running commentary goes on relentlessly, without you even being aware that you are doing it, in most cases. This on-going dialogue explores and comments on every event you are exposed to and your resultant reactions to those events.

What is Really Important to You?

I often visit my mother at the Ihlati Senior Living centre, where she lives in Primrose. The thing that astounds me the most about everyone I speak to whilst there, is that none of them wish they had spent more time at work, or growing their fortunes. Without exception, every single one of the folks in their twilight years, wishes they had done more with their families, visited the countryside more, looked after their health and done more good for their communities.

Accept that nothing ever happens to you, know and believe in your heart that things happen because of you and you have taken the first step towards living the life you desire and deserve. Once you make this crucial realisation and you accept that the only thing standing between you and the success you desire is “YOU”. The next step is to look around your world and find out what all the successful people around you have done, to achieve their remarkable success and then to find ways of learning what they know, doing what they do and believing what they believe.

As part of my research towards my PHD, I have had the incredible privilege of studying a number of super achievers, from around the world. It has been an excellent opportunity, amazing experience and very fascinating time, during which I have learned much and made a number of very interesting observations. I have spent time observing from both a distance and where I was invited in, as closely as possible, trying to uncover common denominators or pointers, which made these people stand out and become super achievers.

Many university studies have shown that people who have achieved above average levels of meaning and fulfilment in their lives, all have two major things in common. They firstly have a crystal clear vision, which defines exactly what they want to achieve in the future and secondly they have an absolute belief in themselves and their ability to do whatever it takes to invite just that picture of possibility into their experience. I have written numerous articles about vision, today I want to focus on the second crucial element, namely your belief in self.

Sales Tips to help you Secure Long Lasting Sales Relationships

The first step towards developing long term relationships with people who you have qualified as perfect prospects for your product or service, is to think long term. Do not try to make a sale, focusing on a single transaction. Take a long term view of the value proposition you offer and work to show the long term value you and your product and/or service bring to the table. When one of these prospects says they are satisfied, that does not mean that the satisfaction they feel is permanent.

Stop trying to Shout Louder than everyone else to make the sale

The secret to sustainable sales success is not found by trying to shout louder than everyone else out there. The secret is to move away from the crowd and the noise and to begin the process of building connection with the right people, in the right place at the right time. This is a case of going back to basics and instead of trying to spray your message out into the world and sitting back and praying that someone will hear it and miraculously get to know like and trust what you have to offer.
