Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

This weeks Motivating Mindset will revolutionize the way you see, act and feel about your day.


THE CHALLENGE

Your mindset challenge this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself: "Am I feeling joy?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question and you will uncover the roots of the problems that have been plaguing you and discover answers that will lead you to a life of pure bliss.


THE TIPS

Whenever you arrive at a fork in the road a great question to ask yourself is "Am I feeling joy?"

A fork in the road could be represented in your life as: making a decision, taking a course of action or choosing to be, think or feel a certain way.

Whenever you notice that you are at a crossroads ask yourself "Am I feeling joy" and then listen carefully for an answer.

Excitement and nervous energy are both excellent clues that you are following your joy.

If you aren't feeling enthusiastic, excited or even nervous about something than chances are likely that you won't put yourself fully into whatever situation demands your attention.

It is important to put your full attention into a situation because where your attention goes your energy flows and the results will show.

You reap what you sow and you get out what you put in, so if you were not happy enough to fully put yourself into a situation than why does it make sense that you would expect to be happy when you are finished?

If you put in an orange, a banana and an apple into a blender you wouldn't expect a chocolate milkshake would you?

It doesn't make sense to be upset at the fruit for not turning into chocolate right? Yet that is what we do when we go into a situation grumpy and ungrateful and expect it somehow to be magically transformed into an adventure of pure bliss.

Some people might feel overwhelmed at the realization that the same emotions that you put into a situation are primarily responsible for the type of energy and feeling you will get out of the situation. If this is you then you may take a while longer to deal with your new found responsibility.

But you don't need to make things unnecessarily overcomplicated for yourself by trying to look for, identify and manage a dozen emotions. The feeling you are looking for can be answered in one question: "Am I feeling joy?"

If you are not feeling joy in this moment then there is not a problem with the circumstance because circumstances are neutral, rather there is likely a problem with your internal joy meter.

A circumstance like someone breaking their arm seems to be a 'bad' scenario if you are the one who broke it, however, if you are the Doctor's office that is employed when circumstances like this happen, then the event would be viewed as 'good'.

Since this is the same event it cannot have both mutually exclusive feelings attached, unless the emotions that are generated are only subjective, meaning that only the person experiencing, not the actual experience, produces the feeling.

How can you change your beliefs about a situation in a way that allows you to be happy?

A master of their emotions allows them self to embrace every situation and find a way to accommodate the change or circumstance rather than resist the current.

Accepting and allowing joy in any situation is a sign that someone didn't get caught up in the current of emotion and is capable of going with the flow.


THE SECRET

Your joy meter is the automatic feeling of exhilaration when you are doing something you love.

Other questions to stimulate your thinking could be "How could I be feeling joy in this moment?" and additionally, "In what ways could I be feeling more joy?"

If you aren't quite sure how to tell if you are doing something that you love you can always learn to follow your fear or chase your goosebumps.

The goosebumps that can stand up on your skin even when you are merely discussing a idea that has your full attention is a great indicator that you are following a passion.

Alternatively, while most people associate fear as a bad thing, it can also be used in a more positive and productive way by indicating your feelings about a situation.

Just because you are nervous and anxious doesn't mean that you will fail and are not meant to succeed. Fear is just a way of telling us that the circumstances in front of us are important.

Successful people feel the same fear that unsuccessful people do, sometimes even stronger and yet they still manage to go through with it anyway.

When you are enjoying yourself you are living fully and completely in the moment, your face is lit up with a jubilant smile and, you are likely to lose track of time. If more people lived this lifestyle we would not have the mental pollution and poverty that plagues us today.

Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

This weeks Motivating Mindset will help you live with more focus, joy and gratitude.


THE CHALLENGE

The Mindset challenge I am proposing this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:

"In this moment, what is most important for my success?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question before every activity or challenge you come across this week and the promise is that you will be clearer about your actions and inspired to do more with your life.


THE TIPS

Before you get out of bed tomorrow, lay there awake and ask yourself "In this moment, what is most important for my success?"

There is no "right" or "wrong" answer to this question, only an answer that will either move you closer toward or further away from your goals and dreams.

If you want to supercharge your successes and activate the Law of Attraction to bring you more positive results then the default answer to this question could be..."feeling gratitude".

Being in a state of gratitude is always the best action in every moment because the feeling of being appreciative for your life will automatically attract more to be thankful for.

What can you be thankful for as you ask yourself this question?

Regardless of whatever it is that you are grateful for make sure that the rest of your daily actions are also guided by that question and aligned with that feeling.

After you have grounded your day in gratitude then ask yourself the same question as you make your way out of bed, ""In this moment, what is most important for my success?"

Keep asking yourself the question as often as you can to guide you closer toward your dreams and to make sure that those dreams come true, be sure to book some personal "you" time.

The first hour of your day is an ideal time to give yourself some quality time alone.

"In this moment, what is most important for my success?"

Some ideas that you can utilize this hour with are: visualize the goals and dreams that are important to you, look at a vision board, affirm positive intentions, read a book, meditate in stillness, or quietly review your long-term goals.

Take this time to set the tone of your day, ensure that you are focused on your goals and to help amplify the Law of Attraction to bring you what you do desire.


THE SECRET

Ideally the earlier in your day you make time for yourself the better, however you are not limited to specifically utilizing the morning.

Experiment making quality time for yourself in the afternoon or during the evening before you go to bed. Find out the best time to activate your peak mental and physical state.

To speed up the time lag between your dreams and your results you should find the time to do this exercise twice a day.

Also, if 60 minutes seems too long or you don't feel that you have time in your day then try starting with personal time of 15 minutes. Gradually increase your time to 30 minutes, 45 minutes and then to an hour.

Thinking that you do not have time to slow down and find out what is most important for you in each moment is admitting that you would rather continue to be blinded by your behaviour then to be motivated by your mindset.

It is only an illusion that you can continue to do what you are doing and get what you want.

To get what you want you must do what you've never done, otherwise if you have already done it you would have already had it.

Most people do not develop the habit of putting their dreams and goals in front of them and then they wonder why nothing ever happens.

Skipping your personal quality time is like skipping breakfast and wondering why you don't have any energy. It seems silly to wonder why if you haven't had any food right?

Similarly it doesn't make sense to think it is strange or mysterious that you don't have the results you desire in life without first finding the time to make the important goals an important part of your every day.

Ask yourself the question "In this moment, what is most important for my success?" to help keep you on track.

Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

Apply today's Motivating Mindset and you will gain power and confidence in dealing with any fears that hold your life back.


THE CHALLENGE

The Mindset challenge I am proposing this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:

"Is It True?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question every chance you get every day this week and the promise is that you will gain courage and grow greatly in the areas of reasoning and emotional control.


THE TIPS

The seeds of fear, worry and doubt grow to produce pain, drain and anxiety.

The good news is that fear, worry and doubt are beliefs... and you can still choose your beliefs.

If you can choose your beliefs then you can change them.

A belief is basically an evaluation of information relating to a person, place or thing.

You can always change your evaluation of something by considering new information.

The best way to gain new insight when feeling the same fear, worry or doubt is to ask yourself:

"Is It True?"

Reflect further with questions such as:

Is this situation true? Is this the only way of adding up the facts? What are all of the facts?

Fears, worry and doubt are often evaluations of information that are incomplete, inaccurate and incorrect.

What beliefs have you accepted that perhaps aren't true?


THE SECRET

Unfortunately there is no easy way to determine what information that we accept as part of our lives and use to make decisions with has been completely misinterpreted.

Gently laugh at yourself for fostering your limiting-beliefs and give yourself the present of presence when consciously choosing not to continue feeding false fabrications.

Questions to follow up with are: "How do I know this is true?" and "Could I be making any false assumptions?"

The questions are only as good as the answers that you come up with.

You must be willing to gain new information if you want to move past old thought processes.

Your fear, your worry and your doubt all reside in belief systems that you can rebuild and renovate to rule.

"There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings." --- Dorothy Thompson

All you need to do is change the way you evaluate something, because then you also change the way you feel about it.

When you change the way you feel about something, even just a little bit, your belief about it has also changed.

Remember to celebrate the small wins in your belief breakthroughs.

You are stronger and more powerful than you can believe.

Seek the truth.

Ask and thou shall find.

Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

Apply today's Motivating Mindset and you will gain the power of clarity and control.


THE CHALLENGE

The Mindset challenge I am proposing this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:

"Who am I" as well as... "What do I want"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself these two questions every day for this week and the promise is that life will move you closer to your answers.


THE TIPS

Asking the question "Who Am I?" and "What Do I Want?" are two fundamental questions that everyone should ask themselves yet most people avoid.

The biggest roadblock in-between people and their desires in life is their inability to ask for it.

Wayne Gretzky said "you always miss 100% of the shots you don't take" and when it comes to your wants, you never get what you don't ask for.

When it comes to asking what you want in life, try not to over-complicate it.

Begin by asking yourself, "what makes me happy?" and "out of all my strengths what do I enjoy most?".

These are merely clues to what you want in life, it is your job to fully investigate where the answers lead you.

The only way you can investigate the journey of your happiness is to know who is travelling with you.

The only way to know who is travelling with you is to ask yourself the three worded question: "Who Am I?"

Yet the majority of people in the world neglect to answer this question until it is no longer possible to ignore it.

The reason most people fail to ask themselves this question is because they fear the answer.

Some fear that the answer they find will cause them to feel like weak, inadequate, misunderstood or maybe even like a mistake.

So they avoid asking themselves this question and pretend to live in balance and harmony without it.

Which paradoxically begs the question, "how can anyone be in harmony and balance if they are not getting what they want?"

This is equally ponder-some when people say they are getting what they want and yet they don't care to know who they are.

Believing you know what you want in life without first knowing who you are seems a little backwards don't you think?

It's like a Dog trying to Meow because he thinks it would make it happy, yet can't perform to it's level of desire because the expression of such is not programmed into its genes.

When the dog realizes that it is a dog it will stop trying to make itself happy trying to conform to it's previous perception of itself.

This is why it is important to understand what you want most in life as well as knowing who wants it.


THE SECRET

The question "Who Am I?" brings perspective into your life and the question "What do I Want?" will bring control.

Control gives you confidence.

The more control that you feel in your life means the more confidence you will act with day-to-day.

Perspective is having vision.

Gaining perspective is like a rising plane because of the ability to see things in a bigger scope and anticipate future problems.

Without control you will never gain perspective.

Without perspective you will soon lose control.

It is just as important that you get perspective as it is to gain control.

Ask yourself these two questions and give yourself permission not to know the answers right away.

Believe and know that just by asking the questions the formulation of the answer will inevitably arrive with persistence.

Remember to keep an open mind about the delivery of your answers, they never come typed up in an address envelope with your name on it.

Answers are found in synchronicity, coincidences, chance occurrences and what some refer to as blessed events.

Your answers are out there, all you must do now is seek and thou shall find.

Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

By taking the application of today's Motivating Mindset you will live a life that is more purposeful.


THE CHALLENGE

The Mindset challenge I am proposing this week is getting yourself in the habit of asking yourself the following question:

"How many days left?" or asked differently... "Could today be my last?"


THE PROMISE

Do this every day for this week and the promise is that you will make giant strides towards living with less regret and more purposefully!


THE TIPS

Today's question refers to the number of days you have remaining in your life.

Do you know how many days left on this Earth you have left?

Unfortunately while no calculator or person can ever give you the exact answer, the answer could come today, a week from today, or many many years from today.

Regardless of whether you accept it or not, the fact is that we all must return to sender one day.

The sooner that you accept and deal with the fragility of life the sooner you will be on your way to improving your life.

It may seem like a grim outlook to start your Monday but don't be mistaken, only those who have understood and accept this fully can take control and power back into their lives.

In fact, understanding and accepting this question allows you to immediately create more purpose and passion in your life.

The more you fully accept that your time here is finite the more that you will strive to live your life to the maximum.

You live to the maximum when you pursue your hearts desires.

You live with heartbreak when you don't fully live your life.


THE SECRET

Try asking yourself this question at the beginning and end of the day.

Keep asking this question when you find yourself in conflict with other people.

Are you communicating with others the way you would spend your time and energy if you knew it was your last day?

How can you treat people you come across today as if this was the last time you were ever going to spend time with them?

How would you like your friends, family and loved to remember their last moments with you?

You have the ability to treat each day as if it were your last. What is stopping you from doing this?

A New Earth of Awareness

Have you seen the 1999 Movie the Matrix?

A lot of people have, in case you haven't the movie synopsis is about the realization that people live in fake reality to obscure them from the truth.

Yes I am talking about a movie and not "real life", although many of the parallels and metaphors in the movie are uncanny to real social situations.

We need to see through the Matrix of our own lives in order to create a New Earth. A new paradigm for awareness and consciousness.

There is a movement that is going on right now that started with a highly-awakened teacher of our time Eckhart Tolle and has blow up to affect millions when collided with the juggernaut known as Oprah.

Oprah is featuring Eckhart's New Book, "A New Earth" in her 10-week book club.

The Memory Formula

10 - 24 - 7

Need to remember something? Here's how to make it a habit:

10 - 24 - 7 is the number you need to remember as a formula for making a habit of things.

Here's how it works:

10 = 10 Minutes.
You need to do the desired behaviour for at least ten minutes.

24 = 24 Hours.
You need to do the desired behaviour within 24 hours of the last time.

7 = 7 Times.
You need to repeat the desired behaviour for 7 times.

For example: If you wanted to committ a specific routine from your favorite yoga instructor you would do the following:

- Practice the yoga routine for at least 10 minutes.
- Practice the same yoga routine within 24 hours.
- Practice your yoga routine regiment 7 times.

Voila!! you now will have impressed upon yourself the memory of doing the yoga routine without instructions.

*Interesting note: 10 - 24 - 7 = -21 (number of days to turn something into a habit)

Have You Conquered Yourself?

Sometimes in the heat of battles between people, ideas, and institutions we become lost in the narrow focus of our best efforts. For example we might be so emotionally attached to an specific outcome it can blind us from seeing both reality and the best solution. We might have too much of a vested interest in "being right" or doing things the way we've always done them versus doing something new or doing the right thing.

“It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles." --- Buddha

To conquer yourself one must first know them self. Without knowing our emotional tendencies and hot buttons introduces an emotional bias to any situation and is as effective as it would be to put on a blindfold before you go sightseeing. In these situations if we truly intend to produce the most effective and efficient answer, then we need to focus on the parts of the equation that we DO have control over, ourselves.

“Conquering others takes force, conquering yourself is true strength." --- Lao Tzu

High performance is about getting through all the fog that's from your past and stepping into your greatness, the real you. Stepping into your own personal clarity and power allows you intentionally perform in full capacity. It's not about who you were or how you did things before, it is about deliberately and intentionally creating who you see yourself to be.

The process of growing into yourself is really all about the Law of Unfolding.

Read this powerful passage from the 1917 classic the 'Conquering Yourself' manual to gain a better understanding into this Law.

All progress of the individual is a matter of inner unfoldment. Life moves from
within, outwards. The germ or vitality is always at the center, not on the surface. The growth of the tree or the plant, of the animal or the fruit, is not that of adding on the outside, but a supply from the inside.

The individual determines his own position in life, according to the amount of
intelligent effort exerted. It is for this reason, that people NEVER WILL BE EQUAL, because there are those - the majority - who will not work to acquire this Inner Power

You, then, must rank among the Great, or the mediocre.

You have the conscious right to determine who you are at any given moment, no one can tell you who you are. You have the power to choose whether you will remain in the mediocre or rank amongst the great. No one can give this power to you, it is your birth right. However you can build a support team that can help you unlock your potential, and that alone could be all the difference.

During your growth you must constantly remember to exercise patience with yourself. Love yourself. Nurture yourself as if you were an acorn waiting to be fully expressed as a tree. Don't beat yourself up for being a seed, celebrate your unfolding greatness of what you will grow into. Be you. Be great. Make your move.

Are You Accountable?

Many times when we are presented with a new idea, whether it be a new company target, friend/family request, or group goal, it is often stated as in the subject of "we". Two such examples would be "we can make a difference together", or "we can accomplish this goal".

The question is: Does the word "we" have and advantage or disadvantage versus using the words "I" or "you" when it comes to accountability.

The answer: Absolutely Yes, Yes, Yes!

The biggest problem with stating things in the "we" mentality is that it excludes the "I", "you", and "me" from the accountability side of the equation.

The word "we", suddenly becomes the perfect justification for the excuse of "if 'I' don't do it, where it is a job for 'we' or 'us', then I bet somebody else will pick up the ball."

The following short story describes what really happens when we turn our heads and cop out from personal accountability.

This story is about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Are you picking up balls and running with them regardless of who "owns" the problem. If they are on your team then why not?

Excerpted from Mel Gil's book "Uncommon Sense" below is a list of personal accountability excuses to be aware. Try to avoid using any of them as they are all poor excuses for not completing a job and the more often you catch yourself using them, the more aware and accountable you will become.

1. I'll try
2. If ____ then ______
3. I forgot
4. It's not my fault
5. I had no choice
6. I can't
7. I had no control
8. I'll wait and see
9. I don't know
10. It's not my job
11. That's the way I am
12. Nobody told me

Do you drink to enjoy yourself?

I had a talk with a coaching candidate who was looking to understand why they felt the need to drink socially but not regularly, unless of course they were out in social frequently.

At that moment I was cautious with my answer, I mean if we fully knew the underlying cause about any addiction it would likely cease to be addictive by definition right?

Regardless, the first thought that came to mind is that drugs and alcohol are a perceived enhancement for a deficit inside ourselves that we both consciously and subconsciously are experiencing in a situation.

Please allow me to explain. My belief comes from the observation and personal experience of drinking to break free from the "normal" or habitual way of being. The way we behave repeatedly become what is referred to as our conditioning. Whatever you want to call it, we often seek drugs and alcohol as the medium that brings out an altered and ultimately more desired state.

The hidden problem with this strategy is that the demonstrated solution (drinking or drugs) is just an illusion. The illusion is that you, or anyone else for that matter, requires something external to complete us or augment our experience. When it comes to drinking, the false belief is that we require alcohol to loosen us up, allow us to have fun, and make the experience much more enjoyable.

The downside of these fantasies is that for a small time we actually may see results, that is, we actually might think we are more socially functional by having the drink. Often, if only for a short time we are right, and the enhancement gets us through the stress or awkwardness of the situation.

Humans see things when they believe it, hence the phrase "I'll believe it when I see it" or "Seeing is believing". This becomes a problematic factor of human nature because now we "see" our actions (drinking) produce result and then we start to "believe" it is the answer. This only ensures that it will become that much more difficult to stop the no longer desired behaviour.

In our drinking example in order to get past the next social situation that they feel inadequate, you either use the alcohol as the crutch again or you will need to either come up with a brand new plan. The brand new plan is a feasible option only if given enough time and resources to commit to action, if either are missing then the effort is futile and you are highly likely to choose the path of least resistance which is the way you did it last.

So how do you combat this downward spiral of illusion? You must become conscious of the "positive intent" behind your actions. Every action we do is motivated by either a conscious or subconscious desire. When we detach ourselves from judgement about our actions, we make room to become aware of the positive intent behind our behaviour. Only when we have become clear about what this is can we empower change.

In our example of drinking the positive intent could have been "feeling confident and able to speak in public". With that desire identified the person could finally begin to seek alternative solutions to bringing them that feeling. For example they could join Toastmasters or a local speaking club, or join a networking group to expose themselves to others in a different setting.

There are many ways to beat your behaviour and with the right support you can do it! How are you currently identifying and empowering your desired change in your behaviour now? I'm definitely curious, drop me a line and let me know what works for you or if I can help.

Here to serve and humbled by your greatness!

Looking for a bonus holiday gift?

Looking for action to make the most of this new year? Take this challenge!

Take 3 minutes out of your hectic schedule today to just breathe, observe yourself, your thoughts, just be. If you have never done this or do this infrequently it will probably feel a little uncomfortable for a while, you may not even see the point and stop after a brief moment, either or is still great. If silence is still too foreign for you, take those 3 minutes and repeatedly tell yourself that you are loving, loveable, worthy and deserving.

I realize fully that sometimes life "seems" to have a nasty way of getting in the way of our goals and higher aspirations. I've been to the point of dire frustration when just as things seemed like they were breaking through "something" else would go wrong. I've been caught up watching the successes of others who get more far easier and wondered "why not me?". I would set goals and then not have the desire or willpower to follow throught and then feel like the only idiot on the block who can't get their poop in a group. I thankfully learned that it is postively pointless and painful to associate my success with my self worth.

For many years, so many years I used to almost feel embarrassed by not being able to achieve what I wanted. I've been blessed to be able to see through the illusion and now the things I want to experience come easily and effortlessly. I've been on both side of the fence my friend, and this is why I am offering the people who are looking to break-free or break-through in 2008 an special holiday gift. Take a moment to e-mail me at successssensei@hotmail.com with the subject line "Re: Send Me My New Years Gift" and I will send over 7 simple yet extremely powerful tools for immediately increasing willpower, self-confidence and awareness. Send your e-mail over right away, as I will be packaging these gems into some material and possibly charging for it, so get yours while the gettings good!

Revised Response to Everything Counts Entry on Influencing Future Generations

Do You Have The Power to Influence Future Generations?

Even whether we believe it or not, we all have the power to influence future generations. Many of us often mistake the real power our words and actions have, unknowingly by default, pass on our subconscious negative belief-patterns and unproductive habits.

Through the power of living deliberately, in the present moment, also know as the ever unfolding now, will our actions speak out our passion and our passion imprint any situation with the potential for future positive growth.

In the stream of consciousness we are aware of our actions and our words, which is the place we want to be operating from since we act as role models and major influence sources for the young in our lives. Your sphere of influence should be treated with the utmost respect because out of all the possibilities and probabilities to exist on this planet in this particular time and space, the young leaders of tomorrow gave you the opportunity to shape their future!

Whenever you are in a situation you have the power to make it better than when you weren’t a part of it at all. That is the power of living consciously and it can leave people feeling great or leave them feeling small. If it’s necessary for you to shine, now is the time to heal painful wounds immediately so that you can step into that person they desperately need. Commit to being conscious about ensuring that the “net-effect” of your words and actions are viewed as “energy” deposits into their emotional bank account rather than registering as withdrawals.

Gain clarity by asking yourself this question “Could the person benefit from you not saying anything at all?” If the answer is yes, then it is likely best to be quiet for now or keep your comment of wisdom to yourself. However, if the person in no way benefits from you keeping your mouth shut, then surprisingly or not my friend it is probably your job to tactfully provide them with that benefit.

It is great that you probably already knew most of that, because that is the easy part of positively influencing others. The real test arrives in the form of consistency, where you must pass the continual test of self-discipline in order to make life in your sphere of influence better for everyone. Your challenge: Reach out today and help a young person by being the quality role model that you know is best!

By helping others get stronger we get stronger ourselves. Let’s start winning together! The world needs your unique contribution towards youth leadership! If you need some advice in your corner or are looking for more members on your team let me know, (mailto: successsensei@hotmail.com) I would love to help!

Humbled by your greatness,

The Success Sensei

Revised Response to Everything Counts Entry on Influencing Future Generations

The original comment that vevveh makes below is so true because we all co-create our lives, whether or not we actively choose to participate.

Even whether we believe it or not, we all have the power to influence future generations. Many of us often mistake the real power our words and actions have, unknowingly by default, pass on our subconscious negative belief-patterns and unproductive habits.

Through the power of living deliberately, in the present moment, also know as the ever unfolding now, will our actions speak out our passion and our passion imprint any situation with the potential for future positive growth.

In the stream of consciousness we are aware of our actions and our words, which is the place we want to be operating from since we act as role models and major influence sources for the young in our lives.

Your sphere of influence should be treated with the utmost respect because out of all the possibilities and probabilities to exist on this planet in this particular time and space, the young leaders of tomorrow gave you the opportunity to shape their future! If it’s neccesary for you to shine, now is the time to heal painful wounds immediately so that you can step into that person they desperately need.

Whenever you are in a situation you have the power to make the situation better than when you weren’t a part of it. That means leaving people feeling great versus small.

One way to do be conscious about this is to ensure that the net effect of your words and actions register with the receipient as energy deposits into their emotional “feel-good” bank account as opposed to registering withdrawals.

Think to yourself “Could the person benefit from you not saying anything at all?” If the answer is yes then perhaps it is best to be quiet or keep the new found comment of wisdom to yourself. If the person in no way benefits from you keeping your mouth shut, then my friend it is probably your job (given the right opportunity) to gently make a difference.

It’s great that you already know that, because in fact, that is the easy part of positively influencing others. The real test arrives in the form of consistency, where you must pass continual test of self-discipline in order to make life in your sphere of influence a bit better for everyone.

Reach out and help a young person today by being the quality role model that you know is best. By helping others get stronger we get stronger ourselves.

Let’s start winning together! The world needs your unique contribution! If you need someone in your corner or on your team to help you win, let me know I would love to help.

Learning from your greatness,

The Success Sensei
