Motto of Paul J. Meyers..Attitude is everything

I have a goal to write out my thoughts in hopes of assisting others along my same journey. Moving from the Employee mindset to business owner. It's been a great ride however I still find myself getting stuck.

Facebook is a great resource for me to be inspired by great quotes of others' postings. I saw this one today. What struck me were the words pursued and attracted.

"Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become" ~ Jim Rohn

My first response to getting started on any day IF I am feeling like I'm falling behind is to begin pursuing activities. Figuring out, planning my days activities. Nothing wrong with that but it puts me in my usual habit of busy work. The saying BE DO HAVE stays firm in my mind and busy work is simply hustling around "doing to have"....where's the "BE"?

I love to read and found this article in Success Magazine ... By Todd Eliason, writing about Paul J. Meyers.
Interesting point that was made was in Paul's reflection of his parents teachings. His dad was a carpenter and taught very wise lessons.

Paul states, "One tool that stands out in Paul’s memory is his father’s magnet, because his father used it to demonstrate an intriguing law that Paul would use his entire life. “Experimenting with this magnet brought the law of attraction to life for me,” he says. “Positives attract, and negatives repel. When people allow fear, worry, doubt, indecision and other forms of negative thinking to determine the direction of their mental attitude, they shut off the positive power of their magnets.”

So the first part of the facebook post was how pursuing was NOT the answer to success but attraction was. When I read this part from the article, it made sense and re-centered me in striving to become the person who attracts success.

A second part of the article that impacted me was when he described what it takes to become a winner!
Paul states, "Over the years Paul realized even more fully the powerful role attitude plays in determining success and winning in life. “When people think of themselves as successful, they succeed,” Paul says. “When you believe in yourself, others tend to believe in you. When they see your self-confidence and positive expectancy about your goals, they believe in you and begin to accept your ideas.”

I am successful therefore I succeed daily.

I live in my power, therefore my belief in myself and my venture is embedded in my soul

I accomplish my goals easily, quickly and efficiently

I am grateful for all the money I have now

I love people

People love me

I am enough

Currents...ride them dude - Righteous!

Currents are everywhere! In our life, in the ocean, in the air, just to name a few. Take the ocean for example:

There are two types of Ocean Currents:
1. Surface Currents--
These waters make up about 10% of all the water in the ocean.
2. Deep Water Currents--
These waters make up the other 90% of the ocean

AND these Ocean Currents are influenced by two types of forces
1. Primary Forces--start the water moving
2. Secondary Forces--influence where the currents flow

Webster's Dictionary definition: a current reverses its direction at regularly recurring intervals

If we look at how simple that explanation is, then comparing the ocean & life's currents is not so hard. In life, as in the ocean, there are primary forces. Those are the forces that begin movement. It's called life desires, a desire to figure out a different result, a plan to accomplish something different than what we are currently doing. Each one creating momentum.

This is where a new current begins to take shape. Surface currents make up 10% of all the water in the ocean, we could then say, 10% of all change in life comes from desire. Desire is good, it begins the process of changing or improving our current situations. It starts the movement. But it goes deeper than that.

If you really want to improve, then you must get down to the deep water currents, like the oceans... 90% of what happens in the ocean stems from here. 90% of what creates our truest form of change is in our core belief's.

Let me explain by using my equation: ( Belief's x Thoughts = Sub-conscious) + words + Action = Results

Our Ego (Sub-conscious) is made up of our beliefs & thoughts. Ego is about accomplishment. Ego is happy when it can protect you. Let's talk about how our Ego is created, becoming an issue or under current for our discussion.

Our Ego began forming the minute we were born. Our minds picked up on everything that was said & felt, adding how we interpreted our experiences as we got older. Think of an experience in your past, something significant. Like your first day of school? did you feel insecure, were you afraid, thinking you will make a fool of yourself, feel inferior? were you excited? Well, how much did you dwell on that?

The time you dwelt on it, imprinted it deeper and deeper into your subconscious to create --- (almost like a record) --a rule for the EGO to work with. Ha Ha, most of you reading this are too young to remember records. Well, I’ll tell you they created records by creating grooves and those grooves are what created the music. If you got a scratch on the record, it would skip and skip over and over again. In essence a scratch created an interruption to the music.

I’ll share with you one of my experiences. I remember Christmas. I always have my excitement of anticipation build and build until I could hardly stand it. I still do...can’t keep Christmas presents a secret without a great deal of control :) ha ha, that’s why we open our Christmas presents at 3:00am ---- way too excited I simply can’t sleep.
I remember one Christmas more than any others. I received so many presents I was lost. I couldn’t remember what I got to save my life. What made this so impressionable? I wanted a certain dress more than anything. I believe I was 5 at the time. I couldn’t stop talking about this dress over and over. My thoughts were obsessed, I was so excited, I just knew I was getting it. The point I want to make is I kept hearing my Mom tell me to have “faith” and IF I had enough faith it would come “true”. I fully believed her!

Well, with my little girl understanding, I prayed and prayed to “get” the dress. Who can guess what the outcome was? NO I didn’t get the dress. I was so disappointed I had to figure out how to deal with that level of disappointment. What rule do you think my Ego took on? You got it, “don’t get your hopes us because you will only get disappointed, dreams don’t come true” Now, how do you think I went forward from this point. Exactly, not hoping for something because my EGO graciously reminded me “you won’t get it anyway”. In essence, my Ego took away my choice. My Ego dictated my thought process.

Is it time to create a scratch in your Sub-conscious record? If you answered yes, stay tuned for the next blog...

Create yourself a fabulous day!

Unveiling...

Today is Wednesday, a day that is offering great reflection. I am reviewing my business plan for 2011, my marketing plan for 2011. Reflecting on thoughts that have assisted me...Rambling on in my head. I thought this morning I would do something most would never even consider, that is a 20 minute writing. I do them often but I usually am writing, not typing. I promise I will go back and reread this to make sense out of my random thoughts. When you are writing, that is one of the "rules", not to rewrite your words. When you reread them you will know what your core issue is hiding deep down. The more your do these exercises, the deeper you clean.
This is being pretty open for me. I am walking through what I guide my coaching clients through to give them an awakening. I thought I had already been awake, but now knowing we all go to sleep as well and awakening is an ongoing activity. Funny how I learn so much from my 20 minute writings. I can do them because no one else ever has to read them. My kids or husband may find my notes in journals then all the truth will come out. A part of me wants to know when I am to die, I have considered burning them. What good would that do? keep me hidden from the ones I love? Silly statement when I see it written out. But truth is like that, learning to know who you are with full acceptance, well anytime you want to hide you are not accepting. I feel resistance in writing down what is in my head for fear of retribution or criticism. Funny how that always is the case, I try to be open but when I am I get reprimanded because I'm not following someone 's. I have simply learned to keep it to myself. Interesting. When Doug and I were driving home from Highland, UT we stopped at a red light. Doug mentioned we could turn and get to Draper from here. Great idea but I was still drawn to go straight into the traffic, construction and willing to participate in a longer drive home ALL because it was familiar to me. I was startled at how hard it was for me to deviate from my norm, my normal actions. Long story short, we turned and enjoyed a pleasant drive to Draper without the traffic and construction. Beautiful views, great weather and great company.
If any of you reading this... you can see I simply ramble. Pause, Pause, Pause, I'll do it! I am faced with negative thoughts, thoughts of me not good enough right now. I only have three houses I'm working on, to me that's not enough. I find myself in the same cycle over and over never doing or being enough. That right there is false! I know I am good enough and I know I do enough. I can only do what I do that moment and it's the best I can give right then. Can I become even better? YES that is the goal but you notice I said "even better" which gives me the words of acceptance but improvement all at the same time. It don't hear lack of anything. It pushes me forward to become even better than before. That feels good.
I was wondering who I could talk to, receive council from but I realize I have put myself in the position of leader. People come to me to get council not to give it. Being that leader is sometimes a lonely place so I revert to my 20 minute writings.
I am learning to be more open to others about my feelings of lack, my feelings of not being good enough. That is hard all reverting back to the fear of being criticized, fear of rejection, fear of retribution. Interesting facts I have learned about myself. Showing me I have more work to do to walk through these fears.
After this writing I am more motivated to enhance my killer marketing plan, my killer business plan :) Love it!!!! I get so pumped after I write because of clarity --- the reason I do what I do becomes the driving force of my day. Love it!!!
