20 Dec 2010 People Are Awesome
Author:  |  Topic: Decisions  | Tags: , , , , ,  | Leave a Comment

I recently received an email from Stuart Stirling with links to 2 incredible videos. One of these videos is entitled: “People Are Awesome”.

This video shows some incredible feats by many different and daring folk. Some of these feats appear totally impossible to achieve because gravity itself is challenged. Yet, man has even defied gravity (using speed) and performed these incredible achievements.

As I was watching this video I was thinking:
Human beings are capable of doing incredible things. This is true of YOU. You were created with the potential to achieve whatever is in your heart to do, and you CAN do it!

IF

Yes, there is an “IF”. You have the potential within, but you also have the responsibility to DEVELOP and USE this potential.

What would it have taken to achieve these feats?

Desire – a deep desire!
Here is a question for you: How much do you REALLY want to achieve your dreams. Your dreams are in your heart. They are things you would like to do, but “like” is not enough.

You need to REALLY want to achieve those dreams and goals you talk about. Strong desire turns to passion. Passion for your dreams and your why will drive you to achieve them.

Determination
I am sure that every one of these achievements took a lot of determination to conquer. Certainly not one of them was achieved at the first attempt right?

  • What is in YOUR heart to achieve?
  • How many times have you tried?
  • Are you determined to achieve it? (This means never, never giving up).

Dedication
It takes dedication and discipline to do the training and practice that it takes to be able to achieve the extraordinary.

This is why it takes extraordinary people to achieve extraordinary results.

Today’s question for you is:
Are you an extraordinary person? (And the answer is a DECISION that YOU make.)

Note:
You were not born any more or less extraordinary than anyone else.
The extraordinary comes from these three steps to great achievements:

Desire — Determination — Dedication

11 Oct 2010 The Missing Link

The missing linkA lot of interest have been stirred up in recent years concerning learning to create positive mindsets and related topics.

Much of what is being taught is good but not all of it.

Why not all of it? There is too much being taught with a very important step missing. In fact this step is so important that without it, the rest of the teaching will not work.

We are being told to focus on the positive to overcome the negative, and this is good. I teach that too, BUT not by itself. By itself it is not the whole story.

You will probably find it hard if not impossible to see a change in your life and circumstances by simply speaking and thinking positive words.

This is only the beginning.
There is another important ingredient which I call the missing link.

What is this missing link? ACTION.

You cannot change your life or your circumstances without action.
Yes, you start with changing your thoughts, but you cannot stop there. Those who do stop there end up very very frustrated and are usually the ones who say that changing your thoughts to change your life does not work. They are half right. But only half right!

All too many folk are looking for a magic wand that will sweep them away to the land of success. Such a thing does not exist.

It takes discipline, determination and dedication to achieve your dreams.

Everything you and I do, we do in our minds first.
So yes, the FIRST step is to change your mind. Change your focus and belief system.
Then take action, and this is where many fall down. They don’t take action.

What stops you from taking action:

  • Are you waiting for inspiration? Think about this:
    Doing doesn’t come from inspiration inspiration comes from doing Billy Cox
  • Are you sure enough of goals? Perhaps you dreams/goals are not crystal clear. Make sure you order a copy of Find Your Why Now RIGHT NOW.
  • Are you confident enough in yourself?
  • Are you passionate about your goals?. Are you dreaming?- allow yourself to dream, and dream big.
  • Just plain laziness – some folk spend their lives waiting for the magic formula (not you though).
Procrastination will steal your dreams and keep you on the sidelines. Successful people are willing to take massive action each and every day until they reach their goals. Billy Cox

JillDream – focus on your dream – change your belief system – think positive thoughts AND take action!
