Outside Circumstances Will Dictate Your Life - Only If You Let Them

author Posted by: garryaw on date Nov 5th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Self Impovment

The economic news these days is bleak to say the least. Are you a news junky? Do you make a habit of watching the evening news or perhaps browsing newspapers on a daily basis? I personally had to stop; I cancelled both of my newspaper subscription. I just couldn’t take all of the negativity anymore. If the story on the front page wasn’t about some senseless crime it was about how our economy and banking system is in ruins. Everyday; day after day after day. The story is always the same only the names change. Enough is enough already - repeated bad news will do nothing but weigh you down like a boat anchor.

Before you might even realize it, exposing yourself to bad news in perpetuity can do some pretty bad damage to the psyche. What could eventually happen is you’ll start to fall victim to the negativity. And if that ever does happen; look out. You see, victimhood is a very, very dangerous place to be. Anybody who allows themselves to be the victim of outside influences (such as bad news) is on a slippery slope to a lot of disappointment - don’t let this happen to you.

Here’s the deal - all you ever have needed and will ever need to succeed is already inside of you. What you’d need to do to bring out your greatness is believe in yourself and NOT let outside influences get in the way. This may sound simplistic but it is the absolute truth. Having a firm, committed belief in yourself is the foundation of everything you aspire to in life. Think about it, when you have a can-do attitude you’re giving yourself the power and energy to accomplish anything. The “how to” will always appear to the person who believes that “they can do”.

It really makes no difference what beliefs you may’ve formed for yourself. Your beliefs are what you will act on whether they are true or false. If you doubt your abilities, you’re defeating yourself before you’ve even begun. When you doubt your abilities your mind will attract circumstances to support your beliefs and eventually, you will fail. That, my friend, really is how powerful your beliefs are. Believe in yourself, have no doubts about your abilities and DO NOT let outside influences control you.

Unfortunately, many people go through life being envious of other people’s success and thinking that it’s out of reach for them. The really sad part is how they don’t even realize that they’re sabotaging themselves with such an attitude. A big part of this self-defeating behavior comes from your past.

Starting today, do yourself a huge favor by not allowing your past to dictate your present or future. Appreciate yourself as the unique individual you are and believe in your capabilities to accomplish anything you dare to dream of. And here’s the fun part - you can adopt whatever beliefs you choose. Only you and you alone can adopt specific beliefs about yourself and about your circumstances. Once you realize this, it will become very empowering for you.

Finally, change is rarely easy. Changing a lifetime of beliefs you hold of yourself is not an easy undertaking. Yes, at times it will take a great deal of work and discipline but in the end it is always, always worth it. I’d like to conclude with one of my most cherished thoughts - you can spend your time and spend your life anyway you choose, however, you can spend them both only once.

Do You Believe in Yourself?

author Posted by: garryaw on date Nov 5th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Self Impovment

When you think about doing something different, whether it be a job, business, hobby or task what is the first thought that comes up for you?  When family or friends suggest going somewhere different, doing something differently than it has been done in the past – do you jump in with both feet or drag those feet because you want to do the same thing you have always done?

Often the reasons we drag our feet is we do not believe enough in ourselves to step out and do something differently.  We will come up with a variety of reasons or excuses why we do not want to just do it.  Are you stuck in that rut in any area of your life?  Continuous learning, doing something differently or modifying the way we do something is a way of practicing our way out of that rut.  Or to be put another way “Get out of our own way.”

 Do you have a hope, dream or desire about your life?  What will you life look like in five years, do you know?  Have you even thought about it?  Many people spend more time planning their next vacation than they do the rest of their lives.  Many of us who went to college or university put a lot of thought into what degree we were going to study for, then after that we simply quit planning.  Allow our life to be run by chance, doing whatever it is that comes along or taking the path of least resistance.  Just think if you were to plan your life like you do your vacations you could retire a millionaire.

Planning is one of the ways we can build up belief in ourselves.  When we set out the plan, develop small or large action steps to take us there and then complete those steps and achieve our desired results we are also building that belief in ourselves.  We did it!  We got it done, accomplished the task.  I will always remember when, after 10 years, I received my Diploma in Adult Education.  The final push to complete the required courses was done by setting out a plan, developing daily action steps and the just doing it.  Like many other adults who receive diplomas later on in life I could have come up with many reasons or excuses why I could not accomplish the task.  Instead I created my plan and just did it.  Now it was not always easy, but I knew what benefits I would receive once I attained the goal and that assisted me in keeping going when times were rough.  Each step that took me closer to the goal also increased my belief in myself, I was accomplishing the task.

Building belief in ourselves is a life long process.  If our upbringing reinforced our belief that we could do whatever we set our minds to then we likely do.  Unfortunately most of us have not had that type of upbringing; as a result we have some learning to do.  We must teach ourselves how to build up that belief and it starts with making the decision.

One of the most effective decisions we can make is to stop taking advice from people who are not successful.  How many times have we turned to a friend, family or neighbor who is in a worse or similar situation for advice?  It is like the blind leading the blind, we turn to people we are comfortable with and they are not necessarily the person who will have the information we need to improve our situation.  We all make decisions on a daily basis as to whom we listening to, are we receiving good advice or information. 

I have found that the best course of action is to find a mentor or coach, follow someone who has already walked the path you wish to travel.  This can be done with books, CD’s, DVD’s, teleclasses, workshops or one on one or any combination of the above.  The advice from one of my mentors Jim Rohn is “Get a library card”.  I have taken that advice and now have cards for three different libraries, it was excellent advice and I am very glad I followed it.  It could be one of the action steps that would work for you too.

Daily action steps are critical to achieving the goal/dream.  When you are starting out one excellent step to take is to find an accountability partner.  Someone you trust will hold you accountable to what ever actions steps you say you will take.  Most people fail in life because they don’t answer to themselves, having an accountability partner is a very effective tool in making sure that it happens.  Now you must be careful here in who you choose.  Be sure to ask someone who will actually call you on issues, not someone who will be your “yes man”.  If you would like a strong accountability partner send me an email at Carla@RetireWithCarla.com and we can set something up.

The results we achieve in our lives are our own fault; whether they are positive or negative.  It is always our choice.

“Your personal philosophy is the greatest determining factor in how your life works out.” Jim Rohn

Finding Your Motivation in Life

author Posted by: garryaw on date May 4th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Self Impovment

I personally feel that one of the biggest obstacles, which prevents us from succeeding, is motivation. If you have problems with motivation, or staying motivated I strongly suggest you find a way to change the way you think. The following syndicated article defiantly provides some answers as to how you can stay motivated and rise to whatever challenges you are faced with.

What is motivation? The dictionary describes it as “the act of giving somebody a reason or incentive to do something” or “a feeling of enthusiasm, interest or commitment that makes somebody want to do something”. So, motivation can be the reason you do something or the feeling that makes you want to do something. Finding your motivation in life is about finding a reason to succeed and about creating and nurturing the feelings that make you want to be successful. When a person has gone through a tragedy, such as losing a loved one, sometimes they struggle with finding the motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Once you have found your true motivation there will be no circumstance that can stop you from wanting to get out of bed, in fact, the things that might be considered tragedies or setbacks to someone else will only make you try harder to succeed.

Think about two runners competing in a race for a moment. Both of them are about the same height, weight and have about the same degree of muscle tone. Each of them has trained equally hard and pushed his physical body to the limit during practices and competitions throughout the year. Now imagine for a moment that one of these runners has just lost a loved one. It was his grandmother who had raised him since his mother left when he was just two years old. His grandmother always told him to do his very best. The runners take their marks and this runner pictures his grandmother cheering him on. He wants to win this race to honour her memory. Which runner do you think will win the race? The runner with the greatest motivation will surely win, every time. It would not matter if he had a pulled muscle, headache or any other challenge that day. His motivation is so great that it will overcome anything that stands in his way.

Each and every person has something or someone that motivates him or her. Some people find their motivation in wanting to make the most of the gifts they feel their creator endowed them with. Other people find it in the love of their children. For some it is their own sense of contentment and satisfaction. Some people are motivated by money or power and others by feelings of love and commitment. Every person is unique in their talents and abilities, as well as their motivation to use their gifts successfully. A person who is not doing anything with their life or at least not achieving any level of success may think that they just don’t have any motivation, but this is usually not true. Sometimes it just takes a little work to uncover it. Many people do waste their lives away and never know their purpose or their motivation, but this does not have to be your choice.

Within each person lies the ability to succeed and find satisfaction, fulfilment and purpose in their lives. Taking the time to think about and uncover your hidden motivation can be the difference between a life of purpose and happiness and one of just survival. Your success begins the moment you make the decision to go after it.
