Chris Howard - Breakthrough to Success

Went to see Christopher Howard last year in London with some friends and I can't believe the number of people I ran into. Friends old and new, the expected and the unexpected. The tales I could tell...

Get your free complimentary tickets to the next event by CLICKING here

Stop for a moment and think about your business and personal life and ask yourself these three very important questions...

* Am I achieving the goals I want in my life?
* Am I free of unwanted habits and beliefs?
* Will I reach my goals if I keep doing what I've always been doing?

If the answer to any of these questions is anything, but a resounding YES!, then it is time for you to read on, take action and set a new course for success!

------------------

'Breakthrough to Success' gives you invaluable tools and techniques to change your behaviour using the power of your unconscious mind. The concepts presented are based on NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)… the science of human communication. Simple yet very powerful tools for changing behaviour to produce fast & lasting success.

Wish I'd done Chris Howard before Tony Robbins - as it makes you compare them unfairly. They are both very different. It is like comparing Back To The Future with The Shawshank Redemption and arguing which is a better film and why!
I liked Chris's informative style of more explanation and knowledge on how NLP works and how to use it. His Erickson stories were ace and effective. I loved his flight story which covered 'baggage' and think people who aren't aware of what NLP is would definitely benefit. Something else to add to my study list!

The great thing was that it was free and also gave me some serious A-ha! moments. Well worth the trip and some. Chris Howard combines NLP with Eriksonian hypnosis and probably other techniques I'm not fully aware of as well. The holographic universe was discussed amongst many other eye-opening possibilities. I realised my limitations were due to external influences which my mind had decided were fact. All you have to do is learn to let go of these feelings and thoughts and you can start over. I realised that I already was successful in many ways and should move towards goals instead of away from pain. Also, that I should change the things I am capable of changing for the better and accepting the few things that I can't. The Billionaire Bootcamp programme sounds great as well. So many lessons were learnt, yet here is so much more to learn about. If we can understand ourselves better, only then can we understand others.

My life is currently great and could always do with improvement though. I like to learn new things and meet like minded people. It is a great reason for me to go to these events and Yes group meeting as I always get a pick me up and it keeps me moving forward.

This is a fantastic event and ideal for:
* Entrepreneurs & Business Owners
* Managers & Business Consultants
* Sales Professionals & Sales Managers
* Athletes
* Life Coaches & Executive Coaches
* Teachers, Trainers & Speakers
* Network Marketers
* Anyone who wants to achieve more in their life or career
* Anyone who feels that they're not living up to their full potential
* Anyone interested in learning more about the results that can be achieved with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
* Business leaders who want to create a catalyst for transforming the culture of their organization.
* People with ambition who want to get a promotion or simply enjoy their work a whole lot more

--------------------

I ran into a lot of forum property investors whilst at the event this weekend and some UPW/Tony Robbins facebook friends who are now 'real world' friends as well, there is a pic of some of them attached. They truly are a wonderful group of individuals and I'm lucky to be able to call them my close friends.

I also met Jelena F. as she ran on stage and won a training course, I'd spoken to her before but we'd never met and I didn't expect to see her there. Wayne P. was a person whom I couldn't place, my subconcious gave me an answer when I least expected it (we'd met at a coaching course in manchester) and I chased him down for lunch. Jules W. (from the YES Group North) ran on the stage and owned Pete (Chris's co-presenter) and the stage. The crowd loved her and she demanded a roll of the dice for 'fact or crap' - I was buzzing and cheering her on - action really does get results and I'm glad I know such great and positive people. I enjoyed catching up with everyone there - the list includes Jim H, John R, Les B, Tee B, Fiona W, Cindy E, and especially Hagop T who came to see me at the hotel bar from across London to chill out till 2am. (Andrea said it was OK to drink then sneaked off). Anyone else that I've forgotten I apologise, as hopefully most of you are in the 'family' picture below! Including Juswant, Sylvia, Tim, Heather, Ian, Satie, Satnam, Andrea, Karen, Jane and Lizzie

Give your life meaning...

Michael Bradford, Intuition

Last Monday I went to see Michael Bradford, who I met at the XL Life Shift. He was the reason I was in London. Michael is the author of 'Spiritual Healing' and uses intuition to deal with a whole range of challenges that people have. He also has a company called Intuitive Advantage and deals with business, health and relationship problems. Knowing what to say and how to say it is a very delicate art. It can be learnt by anyone with an open mind, as we are all human and intuitive beings.

The same way that we sometimes get scared and hold our breath momentarily until we have to breathe again. The same can happen emotionally and our energy may not open up as it thinks it is protecting us. Health ailments need to be cleared at source to fully allow healing.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8euI0Alf_Ao

We discussed some of the things that I was currently dealing with and he asked me a couple of deep questions, that I would never have considered or thought to even ask myself. As he did, my subconscious found the answer and my breathing issue I'd had for a few weeks instantly cleared! It was as simple as accepting that a decision I'd made in the past was not benefiting me now and then deciding to do things differently. I had some affirmations and want to learn more on the subject. I also needed a vision for the future as something to aim towards rather than seemingly aimlessly drifting through life up until now.


YES Group with Susie Mitchell

On Wednesday Susie Mitchell came to talk at the YES Group. She is a Tony Robbins Trainer and author of the book 'Sat Nav for The Soul'.

She did a great talk on creating anchors and having positive incantations (affirmations) as a means to create lasting change and to attract things into your life including money.

Anchors can be created by getting into a really positive state and make an anchor by squeezing your fist. After repeating this a few times, you can just squeeze your fist when you need that state and you will end up feeling positive. Brilliant!

Make decisions on what you do what in your life. Know what it will be like, see it, feel what it will be like to have it. Future Pace. If you have any limiting beliefs (thoughts that pop into our heads on a daily basis), know them and change them to empowering beliefs. Eg. from: I'm not worthy, to I AM more than worthy.

When your conscious mind wants something and your unconscious mind thinks that you don't deserve it, then you will fail in getting what you want and attract what you don't think that you want. Conscious beliefs are what you think you believe, unconscious beliefs are what you really believe! The unconscious wins, so you need to align both the conscious and the unconscious.

Incantations / Affirmations can be used as powerful statements of intent. Frame them in the positive and say them out loud whilst in a positive state, mentally and physically. Embody the feelings and do it for a minimum of 21 days to create a positive lasting change and habit.

At the end of the talk we were given some Smish affirmation cards and the one I got was an Energy Card that said: Give your life meaning.

Anyone could have got this and it was important to me because the topic of life had come up since my conversation with Michael. I'd also caught myself automatically replying to someone earlier that day, when they asked how I was, with "still alive." Now to some people this may be a positive comment, to me it wasn't. Sometimes it isn't what is said, it's what isn't said that is important. My affirmations earlier were to start saying I AM ALIVE and I AM Life. So to get this card did have meaning.

Having met even more authors and seeing lots more books around AND now getting this card, I can take a hint... it's time to write that book! That way I can help expand minds, enrich lives and help you rediscover your soul and find your purpose. Give your life meaning too! The only way is forwards.

"Star Trekking, across the universe Boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse"

Listen to the language that people use

In today's society many people prefer to deal with facts and science and act as if things are all OK. Talking to people about feeling and philosophy makes them uncomfortable. Listen to the words that they use, as the subconscious speaks the truth. I now catch myself saying things that I would never mean, yet I do at a deeper level. Stopping myself and changing my language will also retrain my brain and therefore make the new affirmations true, as we DO create our own reality.

When people talk about feeling upset, angry or suicidal - they mean it. Or when they comment on how working all week and getting drunk at the weekend is 'a great existence' - they know it is exactly that, an existence and not a life!

Being a little scared of change and feeling uncomfortable is natural. The comfort barrier is there for a reason to ensure our primitive survival, it is protection from the unknown. Although honouring it all the time will mean that you will always stay where you are and not get what you want in life. There isn't anything to fear on the other side, you just don't consciously know it yet. Are you prepared to take the first step to break out of the box? No-one keeps you there except you!

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

Ask the question: What's the worst that can happen? Mine is I'll go on holiday and spend some time on a beach having fun and nothing to concern me. Now is that something I should worry about happening if things don't go as planned!? Not at all, it actually sounds quite appealling!


Creation: A Sioux Story

The Creator gathered all of Creation and said, "I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality."

The eagle said, "Give it to me, I will take it to the moon."

The Creator said, "No. One day they will go there and find it."

The salmon said, "I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean."

"No. They will go there too."

The buffalo said, "I will bury it on the Great Plains."

The Creator said, "They will cut into the skin of the Earth and find it even there."

Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said, "Put it inside of them."

And the Creator said, "It is done."

Bob Proctor - The Science of Getting Rich weekend

Bob Proctor was in London, 18-20th July 2008. Bob is a direct link to the modern science of success and The Law of Attraction, stretching back to Andrew Carnegie, the great financier and philanthropist. He is widely regarded as one of the living masters and teachers of the Law of Attraction and is featured in blockbuster hit, The Secret.
Created exclusively for people of action who are absolutely committed to creating and attracting abundance in all areas of you life, we were invited to experience:
- An increase of awareness about why you are NOT receiving the income and life you know you should be.
- Secrets of wealth from those who have already achieved it;
- How to get past the beliefs (even the unconscious ones from childhood) that are holding you back from total success;
- Why you should raise your expectations to start reaching your goals;
- How to differentiate yourself in the marketplace.
- Quantum leap your business and your sales.


Bob Proctor is (in my view) 90% genius, 5% eccentric and 5% madman? Why is it people say that I must have got on well with him when I tell them this?

The guy is in his 70's and more alive than many of the people I know. His positive attitude and continually pushing his limits through the comfort barrier (terror barrier) has meant that Bob is excelling in business and life! He has researched the book "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D Wattles and it is the foundation of the Law of Attraction and the Secret.

You can download "The Science of Getting Rich" e-book free when you register at www.NetworkBillionaire.com

He was joined by: Paul Martinelli of the Guardian Angel movement is now a partner and President of LifeSuccess Consulting. Wolfgang G. Sonnenburg, businessman and author of 'The Basic Millionaire Spirit'. Gerry Robert a best selling author 'The Millionaire Mindset' and book publisher at Life Success Publishing.

The crowd were mainly the usual personal development crowd from XL, Tony Robbins, Chris Howard etc. The amount of information we were given and things we learned would take me many hours to share and probably take up an entire weekend seminar ;-) If you knew Bob was coming to London and didn't commit to come yourself, it probably means you don't want to know about it anyway! :-p

Maybe I will add a few blogs in the upcoming weeks. In the meantime you can sign up for their Free Lessons here.

One of the lessons learnt, was to have awareness and not follow the masses. Surely people can make a decision to do something without having to ask the person next to them if they are going and what they think. Change your thinking and be prepared to step out and achieve! Change the paradigms you think that you are stuck in, they are just habits that have now become comfortable. Be prepared to live to your potential. When is that Bob Proctor Cruise?

"It is a sad thought that a child can be scared of the dark, it is a sadder thought that an adult can be afraid of the light!"

I'd caught a train to Kings Cross, London for this last trip and stayed in a dodgy bed and breakfast. Not being a fan of public transport or grotty sleeping arrangements, it was the most logical course of action! I can't believe Bob Proctor was complaining about his hotel, he should have tried that B&B. Thankfully Dan Storey and Fran put me up for the evening on the last night, on the most comfortable couch ever.

I'd been talking to Andrea about the reason I was in London and regarding health and business. People are starting to say that maybe I'm a seminar junkie, which is far from the truth. I'm just out searching for some answers. I might not always get the ones I'm looking for, although they always come in useful for someone else that I meet along my journey.

I also realised that 1 in 2 people that I now meet are published authors or writing books! Surely half the population of this country can't be writing books!? OR did I manifest them all?
More authors and books, is the universe sending me signs? Hmm... there's another idea.

I went to see Michael Bradford on Monday, after having met him last week at the XL Life Shift event in Manchester. He was the reason I was in London, it just happened to be the same weekend as Bob Proctor. Michael is also the author of 'Spiritual Healing' and uses intuition to deal with a whole range of challenges that people have.
He asked me a couple of deep questions. And my breathing instantly cleared! Time to get on with my life and start living!

My train came back through Peterborough, where another property author and friend lives, on the way back to Hudds via Leeds and Bradford. Why Bradford? I caught the wrong train, I'm only human after all - and it was probably the 'right' train in disguise as everything happens for a reason!


The Law of Attraction is revealed.

You will see how to shift your mind to consciously and knowingly attracting that which you desire. You see, whether you know it or not, the results you are getting in your life are a mirror image of the thoughts you have been holding in your mind. In fact, you might be experiencing frustration because – try as you might – you can't seem to jump to a higher, consistent level of success.

Life Shift with Dave Rogers, XL Manchester

On July the 12th I went to a XL coaching in Manchester with Dave Rogers.

"A truly extraordinary weekend full of so many personal (and life-changing) insights. And just as importantly, you'll be working with and interacting with your fellow Life Members from around the globe, developing brand-new working relationships that have the potential to change your business and personal success."

It was a great weekend where I got to meet virtually all the people that I needed to, to help solve all my current challenges. Syncronicity or coincidence? Who knows... it is the end results that are important. With so much going on how can I put it all into one post. Like everything in life, you have to be there to experience it.

I got the chance to meet some great people who I look forward to seeing again soon. To name a few, they were Dave Rogers who was brilliant and his presentation skills dynamic.

Michelle Clarke runs the Manchester group of XL and organises the local events. She also does a good karaoke once she gets going :-)

Denis Noble, who works with Just Debt, if you need help with your finances, loans, credit cards, just give him a call for a free consultation on 01423 541317.

Michael Bradford of The Intuitive Advantage. He uses intuition to help you overcome challenges in your business and personal life.

Naomi Johnson is the Dream Architect, she can help you build a foundation to your dreams and help put a plan in place to ensure they become a reality. What a great idea!

Justin gave me a tough time on making decisions, pushing the comfort factor and going for it. After all everything great is on the other side!

Colin Fu is The Mac Daddy! He is also going to be taking over and partnering on the Network Billionaire site. This was one of the opportunities I offered to people at the event.

Another opportunity I offered was Free NLP coaching to get some testimonials to build my business and no-one accepted. This was a tough crowd. They all insisted on giving me something or bartering (trading) services. A win-win situation! It's about time I put value on as not many regular people appreciate something that's free any way.

Now this is what happens when you surround yourself with a quality peer group. Find out more about XL here.

Did I have a Life Shift? Yes... you're reading about it now!

Dave Rogers is coming to London on September 6th-7th

Dave is also the Chief Coach with XL Results Foundation as well as incoming President of the Asia Professional Speakers"

Synchronicity! Always the right time and the right place.

Expect the expected!

Have you ever had a truly profound thought and said WOW to yourself? Like you never realised you were that deep a thinker? Then have you come across that same thought later in a book, on the radio or on TV? Plato, Aristotle and other great thinkers and philosophers have had these same thoughts centuries ago, they aren't unique but they are part of the cosmic mind, universal intelligence, ether that we all have access to. Ask the question and the answer is there, somewhere!

Here is something I wrote after reading a book in 2006, which is as true today as it was then.

--------------------

I had a really profound though and think this hasn't been covered yet and just wanted to share it with you, only if you can handle having you mind stretched and your beliefs challenged! That though is this: Positive thinkers and motivational coaches tell you to focus on your goal, see it in your minds eye and you will get it, which is a good way to go about things. Whilst reading Healing Words by Dr. Larry Dossey p.68/69, I came across the following phrase "The mind is non-local in space and time" and the following experiment to back it up:

"Studies done at Princeton University's Engineering Laboratory (PEAR Lab) have indicated that subjects can influence the outcome of random physical events and can mentally convey complex information to other subjects from whom they are widely seperated, even by global distances. These studies show not only that a sender can mentally transmit detailed information to a receiver on the other side of the earth, but also that the receiver 'gets' the information up to three days BEFORE it is sent. These experiments demonstrate that the mind is non-local not only in space but in time as well." - Research Reference Margins of Reality

So following on from this I thought - Do things happen because we expect them, or did we 'expect' them because we subconsciously 'knew' they were going to happen? I know, it nearly blew me away and sent my brain into meltdown, I've not even got past these pages in the Healing Words book, it has so many great ideas and theories in the first few chapters. I'll let you ponder on it now cos i don't have the answer... yet... When you've finally let it settle in do you want to discuss this issue?

Maybe it describes what we call Coincidence, Serendipity, Chance, Fate, Deja Vu or Synchronicity (meaningful coincidences of seemingly highly improbable random events) - synchronicity -link 2

Conclusion: We attract into life everything we get - yes even the bad stuff. Stop expecting it to happen and slowly it will stop. Look and expect good things to come your way and eventually they will. you'll just have to trust me on this one.
--------------------


Right Place, Right Time

Little seemingly meaningful (or meaningless) events or connections that happen everyday. There's been a lot more happening recently as I've now been looking out for them and paying attention, so let's see where they lead, if anywhere at all.

Is it possible to be in the wrong place at the wrong time!? There is only ever the right place and the right time for us to be. An event is just an event, we perceive it to be good or bad, yet it is the right place as it is where we're at. We do not need to know the reason, just that there is a purpose to the universe and that it conspires to help us get what we want and need. It is necessary for things to happen in a certain way and at a certain time. Sometimes we find out later why we met a person or something strange or different happened. At other times we are none the wiser.

Like dropping a stone in a pond, sometimes it may feel like only dropping a grain of sand in a vast universal ocean - just know that it will have ripples and move the shore line. So every little thing is important.

I have had a very interesting month with a couple of down weeks, during which I considered hiding away for a while, then still went to an XL Event with Dave Rogers last weekend in Manchester where strange coincidences started to happen. To ending up going to London and seeing Bob Proctor this weekend just gone. I took the action to follow up as many inexplicable connections as I could to see where my life would lead me. Hide away? Are you kidding, life is out there waiting to be lived!

Every little action has a knock on affect, are you awake and ready to see the opportunities in front of you?

I'll add the details of these two weekends over the next couple of days... I'm still processing them :-)

Is the sun shining behind the clouds?

The sun is still shining behind the clouds

I was having such a great day with the sun shining and happy people to talk to. I'd called some random friends from facebook, with similar interests, like Tony Robbins, who that lived in London. I wanted to give them a free ticket to Akasha. I had no takers, although the conversations were all energetic, positive and a welcome change to what I was used to. Thanks Andrea S :-)

Then a friend called on the phone and she asked why I was so bubbly on a miserable day!? And was I in the same town as her (I was only 2 miles away)!
That was when it was brought to my attention it had been a rainy day, I looked out the car windscreen and she was right - I'd not realised it had been raining most of the day and it did look 'miserable'.

It was cloudy and the sun was nowhere to be seen. Now before I let my mood change, I reminded her that all I'd seen today was the sun! And all she had to do was focus on the gaps between the clouds, then she could see it too.

Your perspective defines the world that you live in. People can look at the same things, hear a sound or feel something and have a completely different viewpoint. The only person in charge of what you experience in this lifetime is YOU! Are you aware of how you live your life every day, or does someone else decide for you?

The sun will always shine and it is the clouds that are just temporary. If we didn't have winter would we enjoy the summer as much?

-------------------------------------

The meaning of life

Here's a cool story I just came across about a 6 year old girl called Meg.

She put her head in her hands and said to me “I just wish I knew more about what life is all about”…

Just imagine the responsibility I felt at that time. I stood there, with a thousand thoughts whirring around amuck inside my mind. I looked through the window and let providence guide me. As I saw the flowers and plants waving gently in the wind, something came to me that would let us both feel more relieved.

“See that plant outside Megan”, I said. “Yes”, she replied happily. “Well as you watch that plant grow, it would start from just a stem and growing leaves as it gets older. It doesn’t know what flower it will be all at once, but all the information for the plant is in the seed, so the plant will always know what to do, but only one leaf at a time”.

"A positive attitude is always better, as it shines even when it is raining!" - Bobby

The economy today and what it means to you!?

Do you really want to read about the economy at the moment?

People are either 'struggling with problems' or 'dealing with challenges'. How do you describe it? As that is how you will find that it is.

Credit is not now readily available as it was and it is called the credit crunch. Banks are not lending to each other or to individuals. The economy actually needs this at the moment and although it may mean people are suffering, it is necessary for the long term - the party of over-borrowing and throwing money away is now over. Not what anyone wants to hear but it is fact.

Petrol prices are going up, along with home fuel and food costs! All sounds bad so far right?


Everything will get better... There are more opportunities in a re..cess..ion than at any other time. The economic climate is challenging AND it WILL change for the better. It is a matter of sticking it out. There are many ways to get through these tough time, mainly by spending less AND earning more!

SAVE MONEY: Cut back on your travel. Eat less (bonus for your diet!) Reduce your utility bills (contact me to find out more: SAVE money on your bills). Spend less on clothes and luxuries.

EARN MORE: Get a part-time job, some entrepreneurs I know are going back to work to earn more as they know it is only temporary. Earn an extra income with a part-time (or full time) franchise, cheap start up (contact me to find out more: EARN a passive income)

DEBT MANAGEMENT: Are your debts becoming unmanageable? Speak to someone about it. Once again I can recommend someone to you who will be able to deal with your finances and give you more options than struggling through the week, trying to make ends meet and have it affecting your health.

Daniel Latto (Think Tank Group) gave me a great Star Trek quote:

"Ferengi Rule of Acquisition 109: Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack."

ie. Pride -v- an empty bag, people will settle for an empty bag so that they can save face. Every one does what is right depending on their circumstance, no-one does the wrong thing intentionally. Change your view point and take a look at your finances with a view to surviving over the next few months.

NETWORKING: The positive people and still attending networking events and investing in their educations. Those that do are the few that will succeed. A lot of business is done between people and referrals. Those that are positive and can help you make a difference to your business are those people that will be remembered and still be making money. Look around and see if the peer group around you represents where you want to be going...
(Check out the events to the right of this blog and below in one of the other posts)

MINDSET: Develop a positive mindset and look to the upcoming times as challenges to overcome and know you will come out better and stronger for it. The people you spend your time with are how you are going to turn out, in business and in life. Hang around with positive people with solutions. Those passing out problems should be avoided and that includes the newspapers and TV!

You can't wish away the months, you just have to get through it. Learn the lessons now so you don't have to repeat them in the future and just KNOW that it will all be better.

Well I had to get that off my chest. I'll bring you some good news tomorrow! Just remember the following:

Learn how you can generate positive cash flow right here in the UK in a way you thought was only possible in America, Australia, New Zealand and every other country in between!

David Lee is coming to Essex and WEst Sussex with Rick Otton to share their secrets on "How To Invest In Buy to Let, Use Little Or No Money, Never Visit A Bank And Have No Mortgage Debt!"

You could follow the herd with a buy-to-sell strategy that can sometimes go like this:
- Buy 25% below market value
- Get completely stressed out managing and refurbishing
- Incur months of mortgage overheads and resell costs
- Also sell below market value for a quick sale

Or, you could try something that often goes like this:
* Buy around 15% below market value (easier to find)
* Do zero refurbishment and have my tenant-buyer do it themselves
* Incur weeks of mortgage overheads while they do the work and have minimal resell costs
* Sell at full market value, not giving away your profits, in exchange for time for tenant to buy later

Writing in The Sand, Dancing in the Rain and Possibilities

Writing in The Sand

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Do not value the THINGS you have in your life. But value WHO you have in your life!


Dancing in the Rain

I found the above story that I wanted to share with you. To me, it asks the question why carry the hurt from past events when you can let them blow away in the wind? The things that really matter in life should be the one that will always be with you.

Life is too short to not focus on the great stuff we have - live with an attitude of gratitude! Remember a time when you were super motivated, happy and enthusiastic about life? The enthusiasm didn't go anywhere, it is still there within you waiting for you to acknowledge it and accept that it is a part of you, not something you need to find.

What a couple of days I've had, especially with the weather being as wet as it is. If you ever felt like me, that when it rains - it pours, we have a choice. To sit it out or go dance in it, what are you going to choose to do?

I've had lots of stuff to deal with that I was hoping would go away. Surprise, surprise - It didn't! So I'm taking the bull by the horns and showing it who is the boss. Breaking everything down into smaller chunks has made it all manageable, who'd have thought that just getting on with it would actually get it done ;-)

Want some dancing in the rain? Check out the talented George Sampson on youtube.




Possibilities

There are no limitations. The world is full of possibilities, you just have to open your eyes and see them. There was a great quote I heard in the new film Wanted

"If no-one ever told you that bullets fly straight, what would you do?"

It really makes you think as there is so much action and over the top stunts, yet no-one ever told us that they weren't possible, we just thought that all on our own! What else is there that you don't know is possible because you haven't tried? Great film by the way, much better than the trailer, reminds me of a cross between Fight Club and The Matrix.

Our Deepest Fear. NLP Manchester with Jamie Smart.

Last Tuesday I attended the Manchester NLP and EI Group with Karen S. (whilst she was on Emmerdale Farm at the same time, I didn't know they still made the show, never mind watched it!)
The timing seemed to be just right having completed my NLP certification last week.

Jamie Smart was the guest speaker. He is the founder of Salad, an NLP Institute based in Leicester and is known as one of the UK's most innovative NLP trainers.

He did some changework with a couple of people and discussed a few ideas. For example if you ask anyone how they would choose to feel at any moment, what would you say? Most people would obviously reply with a positive state such as joy or happiness. The thing is, when we're not choosing to feel this, who (or what) is choosing for us? Hmm....

The fact is that we are diamonds, covered in crap and a hard outer surface. The outer surface is who we pretend we are, the crap is who we fear we are and the diamond is who we truly are. When we're doing something we enjoy and is from the heart, we shine as the diamonds that we are - and whenever we drift from this we get further from our true selves.


This quote elegantly sums it up:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."- Marianne Williamson
