I was playing football and shouted for a handball. Everyone stopped and after debating for a minute or two they decided it wasn't a foul. That was when one of my team players turned round and said "Shut up Bobby!"
Well I wasn't expecting that but decided to take it literally, after all he was a 'better' player than me (his opinion, not mine).
As the game went on I was unable to shout for the ball when I was in a good position so we missed opportunities. There was another obvious handball but I couldn't call it, waiting for someone else to - but everyone played on. When my team mate was being chased down by the opposition, I didn't shout 'man on' so he was taken unaware and tackled. Clearly none of this was beneficial for anyone.
I couldn't figure out why it always appears that our communication issues are always someone else's fault!?
So even though the communication was clear for me to not say anything, by me not communicating meant it made the game worse for my team too. A lot of the camaraderie and fun of playing football also disappeared. Think I'll say what I feel is right next time and let the 'better' players let their football skills do the talking instead.
How do you communicate with people? Words can be very powerful - even by merely using them or not. Clarity is also important to make sure your message is received. You can use positive words to inspire your team as easily as using negative words to discourage them.
The words that come out of your mouth really do create your reality. What words do you hear every day in your environment and from the people around you? More importantly, how clearly do you communicate and the mind the language that you use?
Sometimes it's better to say nothing at all. Did you know that Buckminster Fuller took a “year of silence” during which he pondered his purpose in life?
Happy thoughts lead to happy words and vice versa. Putting a smile on someone face is just as easy as not doing. What choice will you consciously make next time you open your mouth?

I'd met Debra Brown from Global Hugs at the Chris Howard seminar and she invited me to an event run by Mastery Gym in Manchester. As my car was awaiting repairs, I'd managed to borrow the neighbour's car to drive over because he's on holiday till the weekend, isn't that lucky...
I was intrigued when the speaker was Clayton Ainger, who works with intuition and healing. When I checked out his site, my friends Anita Langley and Nicky Pool were top of the testimonials and you can't get a better recommendation than that.
Clayton Ainger is a Spiritual teacher, Shamanic healer, NLP master practitioner and gifted public speaker. Combined with his experience as a successful Accountant and Tax Consultant, he now works as a highly sought after business consultant for national and international companies such as Hewlett Packard, Lloyds TSB and UK Ministry of Defence.
It was an interesting evening. I had been looking for an intuition person for the last few weeks and one had been manifested in Manchester and he already had testimonials from a couple of friends. I like how we always turn up in the right place at the right times. As we can't be in the wrong place, since we're not there! :-)
We discussed what our priorities in life should be to live the life we want. First to accept who you are, which is a spiritual unified being. Then finding what gives you joy and simply doing it, before sharing it with others that enhance your life and finally being open to receiving.
If we work from the other end focusing on the 1% of what we don't have and want for our ego, by looking at the lack it creates an awful feeling of fear, hurt and inadequacy; missing the 99% of the things already in our lives which are good, give us joy and part of our higher self. The ego wants things now and the spirit knows it is a journey and to enjoy the longevity. By being aware, it creates presence which brings us into the now, from where there is a choice to be proactive (soul) or reactive (back to the ego).
When coming from a place of gratitude, it is so much easier to enjoy life and the rest takes care of itself. Put the intention out to the universe and it will deliver in it's own time.
I know I'm definitely on the right path. As the night before I'd just mentioned that I was going to find a job with a professional company with unlimited upside of £1m+ and offer to work for free and on a commission only basis. I seem to be able to spot the problems in other people's businesses, lives and relationships that they are unaware of. Prior to this evening's event I received a call from a friend, another fateful chance meeting, asking me to come and see them about such a position; this was before I'd even told anyone about it! The world works in mysterious ways.
“The thing that is most amazing about Clayton’s programme is the impact it can have on any individual and member of a company or organisation. I have seen it happen over and over again, the transformations are unbelievable. He is an amazing, amazing presenter as well as an extraordinary human being. I highly, highly recommend all his programmes. Being True To You really will transform your life” - Joe Williams, Tony Robbins Head Trainer, Consultant, Author, Coach
Clayton also does readings and retreats around the world. The Real You and the Soul Awakening retreat is a culmination of Clayton’s spiritual journey. This is his passion – helping people to embrace their individuality and to experience the very best of who they are, so they live a life that truly makes their heart sing!

David Price, a business coach from Price Property, explained how we need to measure our marketing, as you can't improve what you don't measure. Also he discussed how to automate things, in such a way that you put procedures and flow charts in place so that anyone can pick up a job and complete it without having to 'think' too much, just like a McDonald's franchise.
John Lee was doing a talk on business and NLP. Techniques that you can use to build rapport with people and how to overcome objections. His website is BMV Tips if you want some more info. He will be at the Northern Property Network meeting in 2 weeks to discuss how to do BMV deals and how to effectively negotiate with vendors and estate agents.
One of the funny things someone said when I explained NLP as sometimes just being 'common sense' (a very simple explanation in layman's term), he asked where he could get it and how much I charged! This made us both laugh as we all have it and fail to use it a lot of the time.
Most of the people I've helped with coaching has been through the application of 'common sense' and NLP to deal with any issues and problems that just needed to be viewed in a different light. It's easy when you know how: Find out more about NLP here
John and myself went to La Tasca for a chat and to discuss a few ideas. He had a flight to Turkey with his girlfriend at 6am, yet sometimes time just flies. Especially with discussions that stretched out beyond the realms of current reality and NLP. Like how experience allows us to just know things. I'm reading a good book called Blink at the moment about 'knowing'. How we can know a situation or a person in a split second and then try to justify it or intellectualise it to ourselves. I also told him about a couple of plans I just wanted to put 'out there'.
Instincts, they're a wonderful thing when we listen to them!
And on the way home the clutch went on my Audi Coupe! It had been slipping for a while and I should have know better. Was it a sign? Maybe it was; to get my Mk.1 Golf GTi out of the garage and put it back on the road.
I had offered to crew with BTS, as I'd already been last year but the crew have to be there a day early on Thursday, which was my friend Andy and Tricia's wedding. So I was unable to crew with the team for the event and thought I would just turn up as a participant, enjoy it again and help out in any way that I could in the spirit of sharing and giving.
It was to be a weekend of going through various issues such as self worth and confidence and obliterating emotions using techniques for lasting change. Having forgiveness for others and self - and reasons to live and grow more. I'd even managed to get on stage when they asked for a a volunteer. I was on a high and ready to take on life with a new outlook, especially after Transformation Day!
Afterwards I should have gone home but stayed around a little too long. This was to be my best and worst event ever...
I'd waited for the crew to finish as I was going to go for drinks with some friends and then get a lift home with them. Having helped the crew over the last few days, providing some with a place to stay whilst up north and looking after the VIP's (as a fellow human being as opposed to official crew member,) I thought it would be OK to hang out with them.
My bag had gone missing from outside the main room after the end of the event. Having asked hotel staff, someone had moved it to another part of the hotel. The guy took me to a back room where they had it, which was through the crew's afterparty room. As I went to get it I felt a little awkward passing through as I'd not been invited, although decided to stick around on the way back as I thought it was a sign to be there. I wasn't there for the reason I thought, I was to discover later.
My awkwardness meant I did not feel comfortable enough to even have a soft drink as even I would view that as more than cheeky. I helped Bubbles take her stuff to her car whilst the crew went through one of their group rituals. When I got back and sat down, I explained to one of the crew members that even though I was there in body, it felt like my spirit was waiting just outside the door to the room, as I'd not officially been invited in by anyone. She replied that many of them were glad that I was there and it didn't matter - just as she said this, the crew manager came over and asked me to leave. It was just a couple of words, though they cut right through to my heart at that moment in time.
When I asked if I could stay, as it was 'just me' and having been around for a while, she replied that they can't let one participant in, else they would have to let them all in. The rest had gone home when the event had finished 2 hours ago and I was the only one there, though that was not a good enough reason for her. My expression must have said it all, because she tried to politely ask me to come back next time and crew - it was too late. The damage had been done. I'd been in an open state all weekend as I'd been in a trusting and controlled environment and now I was feeling vulnerable and alone with all these awful feelings and a pain in my chest. I didn't want to be invited back, I just needed someone to say I was welcome now and allow my spirit to be present as well. I walked straight out without getting a chance to say goodbye to anyone and off to the train station with tears welling up in my eyes... What did this mean? Was I not valued? Did no-one like me? Why did this woman not want me there? Why was I ejected and rejected again? Why did I feel like I did? After such a wonderful weekend and having finished with a changed mindset, why did this happen to make me question all the positive shifts that had happened?
What meaning could I attach to this event and what could I learn that was positive. I sat in an intense upset state in the railway station asking myself why! I could only come up with more negative and bad feeling towards the woman and myself for over 20 minutes! After all, I'd asked for the situation by sticking around and ignoring my intuition when my body told me it shouldn't be there by having left 'me' outside the door to the room.
After half an hour of what felt like an eternity and a reason to roll up and die, I managed to find some positive meaning of why I had to go through the experience that I did. It was just an event involving myself, a couple of words from a third party and the meaning I had given them. The woman didn't mean any harm and had rules to follow, which were more important to her than allowing me to stay. My friends and the other crew are good caring people and wanted me there - and they are always welcome in my home and at my parties anytime. If my confidence had taken a knock again it was because I'd allowed it to happen. I should have listened to my intuition and trusted my gut instincts. I shouldn't go to parties or events that I've not been personally invited to by the host or organiser. I boarded the 10.42pm train for Huddersfield and left my baggage in Manchester.
Would I recommend that you attend a Chris Howard seminar? Personal feelings aside, it is reasons like this that you DEFINITELY should. Events occur in our life when, during a certain state, a negative thought pops into your head and attaches a particular meaning to an event. It occurs in a moment and can affect the way you behave in many similar situations for the rest of your life. By attending this seminar you can deal with such issues and challenges that you have had in the past and allow you to move forward in your life by getting rid of limiting decisions and un-resourceful states of emotion by replacing them with positive ones. Ironically, I may even have to go back to get right on what happened to me this evening.
Knowing these techniques as an NLP practitioner and having NLP friends will allow me to deal with what was brought up for me.
I've had much better experience crewing with Tony Robbins, the team and trainers I worked with are much more welcoming and caring, as I have met them many times since crewing at UPW (Unleash The Power Within). This one small moment had created a negative anchor for BTS and the Chris Howard group and I'm in no rush to remove it. I will question my earlier decision to do the Fast Track in favour of doing Mastery University. Will I be crewing at the next BTS? Definitely not! If I don't feel valued as a person before applying for a place with them, I don't wish to be in such an enviroment. It was only a supposedly harmless comment made by one person, though it has left a meaning that, at best, tells me not to go anywhere unless I've been personally invited!
It is scary how far the echoes travel of even the smallest of comments and how long the vibrations can still be felt and heard! Words are more powerful than you may think and even I was surprised, as a NLP practitioner, the effect I allowed the words 'can you leave' have on me! The smallest of things can also be just triggers for something bigger and deeper rooted to come up at any time. Instead of sharing about a brilliant weekend, I am sat here telling you about what it meant to me at the end...
Are you thinking why do I share some of my innermost thoughts and feelings with you and anyone else reading this? It's because my soul feels lighter for writing it and hopefully it will help you learn a little about yourself too. So thanks for stopping by and helping lighten the load.
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.
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.

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."
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”.
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:

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 ;-)
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.

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."
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
A long standing member of the YES Group Martin Boothe passed away and though I didn't really know him, you could feel the love in the air. He was the dance co-ordinator and had worked with many great singers and at UPW with Tony Robbins and the crew. Someone who had touched many lives and will be loved and missed by friends and family alike. My sincerest regards go to everyone who was in his life, especially his wife and daughter.
Just wanted to mention it was great catching up with Natalie M from UPW crew the day before my NLP course started, as she was over from France for a few days. Went into London and spent most of the evening in Victoria actually. Didn't do anything special and it was still lots and lots of fun! :-) Also got to meet her cousin Charlotte who is a self-classified 'plastic' who likes Dolly Parton (!?) and thinks all 'chavs' should be exterminated... no, really! She's a really nice girl and could do with just meeting and being friends with a few people from different backgrounds, to realise there is more to life than what people think of you. Just be yourself! Which nicely brings me onto...
Dr John Demartini was talking at the YES Group in London on love, life and relationships. If you've never had the opportunity to hear him, what have you been waiting for?
John Demartini presents a captivating blend of science, sociology, history and philosophy, presented in a completely accessible way, to give you a fresh new look at human behavior. He is as entertaining and humorous as he is profound and insightful. His work is the culmination of 34 years of research and study into the practical application of more than 28,000 texts in over 200 different disciplines ranging from psychology, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, neurology and physiology.
I almost had to beg Nicky to let us finish our NLP course early on the Wednesday so we could go and see him. She finally agreed and told me to get off my knees. We took most of the people on the course along, Steve T, Caroline E, Nicky P, Paul C, Chris, Amelia, Eileen, Nawar and Alex.
Karl P's mum, Elaine, also came for the first time in 15 years since her son founded the first YES Group in London and had a blast! I also got a chance to catch up with some friends including Andrea S, Anita L, Vaishali P, Richard, Chris J and Fiona W whose birthday it was and Peter S who had dried off since the soaking I gave him at Wealth Mastery.
John Demartini talked about how men and women differ, men are from apes and women from centipedes (shoe joke). The fact that it is not possible to fail as we will always do what is in accordance with our values and not neccesarily anyone else's. And the only way to screw up is if you're on the bottom ;-)
We have time, money and energy for those things and people that are important in our lives. When a partner's values are different, you need to look at how those different values still contribute to your life and allow you to do the things you love. Only then can you truly appreciate the one that you are with.
Everyone has different values and expecting them to change is as if someone was to come and ask you to CHANGE to honour their values more instead of yours. Having to accept someone for who they are and be willing to let them go if you cannot find some common ground. To put someone on a pedestal and be infatuated is to belittle ourselves and to look down on someone and put them in the dog house does not make us better!
How we attract into our lives the things that we need most and challenge us. Even all the great things we look in a partner can be found in the people around us, just not in one package. And as we wonder about look for the one, we then find them and wonder about the many. After all, we can only see in others what already exists in us. And these traits will manifest themselves in people until we deal with it and accept it.
"Until we learn the lessons, we are doomed to make the same mistakes again and again."
I went to talk with him afterwards and to ask for a picture and all I could say was thank you for such a wonderful talk and how we appreciated him taking the time to come and talk to us. He has such an aura about him and a presence that you feel.
The biggest message that I took away was to just say "Thank you and I love you!" to everyone in your life. Even those that you think have challenged you along your journey.
I prayed as I drove home. To get in touch with my spiritual side you ask? Nope, I'd got lost in London yet again (after my GPS had fun with me in Soho last weekend) and I was also running on vapour, as I'd not passed a petrol station.
You'd be amazed how far faith can get you when running on empty! ;-)

I attended a NLP Practitioner course to get certified, with trainers Nicky Pool, Paul Crick and Chris through The Positive Learning Practice There was 1 week of pre-study and a full on week with 70 hours of classroom and practical to integrate everything we were learning and around 25-30 hours home play. Now that's an accelerated learning program!
The people on the course were the best who will be friends for life. They wanted to improve their lives, whilst sharing and contributing to those around them by learning new skills. It was a challenging week and worth every moment. We laughed, cried, pushed the limits, sweated and then laughed some more :-) Steve has a great anchor on his right arm that will remind him of a fun week for the rest of his life...
What is NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) you're asking? My definition of NLP is the use of language to get positive results. It bridges the gap between the mind and body and the conscious and (sub) unconscious to get the outcome you desire. This is done by modelling excellence and using techniques to apply it and integrate it into your life. By using language positively and literally changing your mind about the way it thinks about things that were previously an issue. You can think of NLP as a user's manual for the brain. NLP is a form of counselling using an interpersonal communication model and an alternative approach to psychotherapy. Some consider NLP to still be a set of techniques or strategies for enhancing communication and personal influence rather than a model. More about NLP at wikipedia
Using techniques such as the Milton Model and Meta Model, Reframing, Phobia Models, Anchoring, Swish Patterns and Time Based Therapy it is possible to change your perception of problems, challenges and events in your life - even if you have had issues for years. It is about getting results by seeing things from a different perspective and understanding that anything is possible and within your reach, no matter how big you believe it to be. Getting to be at cause and away from effect is the only way to take back control of your life. Whether it be stopping smoking, going to the gym more, giving up unhealthy foods, overcoming fears and getting rid of phobias, personal problems you've had for years, dealing with depression, events in the past that left you with more baggage than you want to carry any more. If you want to change, you can!
Many people see psychiatrists for years with issues and just talk about it. Others just read books and don't apply the ideas. Why not go see someone and deal with it? How much better do you think you will feel being able to walk out and get on with your life... Living it the way you want and on your terms!
What did I personally deal with during the training? Techniques on how to handle pain. The fear of public speaking. A phobia of cockroaches and insects. How to dissolve feelings of anger, sadness, fear and guilt in your life using time based techniques. I've even got rid of burgers and pizza from my diet - and I did like my pizza!!
How can I help you? I specialise in property, business and life in general. My mentors in personal excellence are Tony Robbins, Chris Howard, Topher Morrison. In property I look up to people like Donald Trump and professional UK investors. In business there is Brad Sugars, Roger Hamilton and Richard Branson. In life Bob Proctor, Wayne Dyer and John Demartini to name just a few.
I can help you by finding out what your unique model of the world is, getting rid of limiting beliefs and integrating models of excellence. Enabling you to overcome challenges you are dealing with and getting the fantastic results that you want.
We all use NLP in our lives already, you just don't know it. The choice you do have to make is are you going to carry on getting the same outcome in life or live the fabulous life you've always desired and deserve?

"hold true to the the ideas that people should 'aim to misbehave' if it means doing the right thing, that a government shouldn't destroy the rights of its citizens, and that anyone can make a difference even if they don't believe it."
I was playing football and shouted for a handball. Everyone stopped and after debating for a minute or two they decided it wasn't a foul. That was when one of my team players turned round and said "Shut up Bobby!"
