    Posted in Uncategorized    |    

Well what a week it has been, and two weeks since we started growing for Movember! Must say, this year is somewhat different from other years.

So what else has been happening? Well in the past few months I have talked a lot about personal growth, and the journey that we are on. It is fun filled, and not necessarily in the sense that you might think. I have been getting feed back through other mediums and it is fair to say that it has been very humbling and has truly hleped me to grow, and after all, is that not what life is about? As Kurek Ashely says "Your either Evolving, or your Desolving" You see, nothing stays the same!

There is a lot to be said about 'getting to know yourself' you can have some massive insights in to your self and your habits, after all, we are creatures of habit. I know that I have been far from perfect in the past, and there is nothing to predict that I will always be perfect in the future, that does not mean that I should give up, although this is what most people think you should do.
"Never let perfect get in the way of better"
What does that mean? It simply means this, do not let the fact that you are not perfect at something in particular keep you from trying, and giving it another go.

Have you ever heard of the fast food franchise called Kentucky Fried Chicken? Well if not it was founded by a man by the Name of Colonel Harland Sanders. Col. Sanders received his first social security cheque at the age of 65 of $99, he was broke, and as you can read right here. All he had was a chicken recipe. Long story short, he was told no and had the door slammed in his face over 1000 times. Who would have given up after the first one, or the tenth, how about the fiftieth? It would be safe to say that he did not let perfect get in the way of better.
Another example, when we first learn to ride a bike, we start off, well most of us, with training wheels, and then slowly we get weened off those and slowly but surely we ride, not perfect at first, however we do get better.
If we let perfect get in the way of better then we may have never learnt to ride.

So where I am going with all this is here, as long as we keep refining and honing our skill, and as long as we keep moving on, we are going to have success. Here is the kicker though, it starts in your mind. I know too simple right?
Wrong. It is not too simple at all, the problem is that we as creatures of habit like to over complicate things, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Simple.
It is safe to say that during the time we have been here I have been working on me, and I sm so pleased that I have, it has helped me to see things in a light that most people never have the pleasure of, and that is something I am truly grateful for.
When you are truly grateful for what you have, how ever little or large it may be then every problem, or issue fades away. Its not that it disappears, it is more the fact that the universe will give you the right tools needed to cope with what ever is going on.

Thats about me for now, however I wanted to leave you with this, a little something that Tony Rush posted on facebook, its great "I Got Scammed" Enjoy the read, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Be…..Do……Have!

    Posted in Uncategorized    |    

It is safe to say that one of the very the corner stones of Personal Development is the principle of BE, DO and HAVE.
You hear it all the time, be the person you want to be, do the things that person does and then you will have their results. I have spoken of this before, and it something that has been bugging me, why has it been bugging me? It was bugging me for one simple reason, when I first heard it, I was open to it, in fact it made perfect sense. As I began to put into practise the principles of BE DO HAVE I immediately got results. Wow I thought, how simple is this, why are not more people using this simple philosophy? Obviously it works! There are any number of reasons why people are not using the principle, fear, lack of faith, self doubt. These would be the most common. I want to go back to my experience however, and the reason for this is quite simply because I was not actually using the principle correctly, and because of this I inadvertently caused a few people a bit of frustration, and for this I do sincerely apologise. Those people should know who they are, and if not, my thoughts are with them regardless. As I have previously posted, I have not always got it right, and I really do need to be, and am truly thankful for that, as if that had not happened I would have never really seen how the BE DO HAVE principle really works.

I spoke with a friend of mine today by the name of Kurek Ashley, this is a guy who really knows what its like to have been down and climbed back up, he is a shining example of what 'can be'. For those of you who have not heard of Kurek he is a 'Peak Performance' coach, he coached the Australian Woman's Olympic Beach Volley Ball team to a gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He gives one of the best examples of the BE DO HAVE principle on his book 'How Would Love Respond?' in Chapter 11 'The Fortune Teller'. I suggest if you have not read this book that you must!
If anyone knows about pain and suffering Kurek does, and as he said to me today,

"I've been down the road of being at the bottom, there is nothing new for me to experience there".
If you were not looking for it, or did not quite understand the BE DO HAVE principle then you might well miss the message, not that it is not written well, in fact the contrary can be said, no what I mean, is that if you are not ready for the message, you may not see it right away.

I listened to the wake up to success call this morning with Tony Rush from Liberty League international, and he had a guest on the call, another person that I am blessed enough to call my friend, Shannon Lavenia. Now what Shannon and Tony were talking about was about playing games and being able to create cash on demand because of the games. It was very entertaining and very insightful. She also highlighted the very heart of the BE DO HAVE principle. It was because of this that I finally can see the easiest way of explaining it.
When you are in a state of BEing, a lot of us miss the point. Some of us think that acting in the certain way is BEing, and I guess in part that is true. For me however I think the best way of BEing is by living in the end result let me say that again just to sink in;

Living in the end result

For Natalie Cook, 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist, it was buying her display cabinet for her gold medal 3 years prior to winning it.
It is BEing able to live in the moment, even tho the moment may be years away. It is BEing able to stay true to your outcome in spite of what others are saying or doing to cause adversity.

To me, and of course this is my opinion, to be able to see your future so clearly and vividly in spite of what is actually happening around you, and actually living with a knowingness that what you are doing is the right thing and that it will produce amazing results is where your power lies.
When you are consistent with BEing then the DOing becomes apart of your natural flow, and therefore you must HAVE the Results.
Never ever let go of that clarity and vision, for the moment you do, you have a long climb to get back to where you were. It will not insermountable, however it may take more time.

I can not explain it any simpler than that.

I want to leave you with something Buddha said;

'There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way'
