Three More Secrets to Personal and Professional Success

RETURN TO WWW.LANDMARC.INFO.



In my practice, I deal with a huge range of business and professional people. They all seem to want one thing: to change their current circumstances into a desired state as soon as possible.

Apart from having them know and master their own AusIDentities Personality type, I teach clients how to apply one of my “Knowareness” Principles: the Triangle of Change.

Our personal and professional direction is generally dictated by three guiding forces: the way we THINK, the way we SPEAK, and the way we ACT. These three forces work together. Our thoughts about certain plans or ideas lead us to (openly) speak about them to ourselves and others. As we constantly think and speak about something, we start to act upon that topic as well. That, in turn, leads to reinforcement of our initial thoughts, and to more determined words spoken about these thoughts.

For instance: if someone believes (this is: constantly thinks) that business success requires constant hard work (both in time and effort), then that person will be talking about that “fact” often, and will show his belief in his actions. Similarly, when a person thinks that we are in a recession, that will be the subject of conversation, and will be reflected in defensive business action.

How to break that cycle? That's where the triangle of change comes in. The same way that beliefs (and therefore actions) are built can they be re-built: thoughts, words and actions are all factors that can be used for change. Depending on the AusIDentities Personality type, one way will work better than another. Let's explore these three secrets.

The first secret is to change your thoughts about the topic that you desire change in results for. As you consciously start changing how you think about the topic (Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP can help with this immensely) you will find that your language starts changing. That will ultimately lead to new behaviours, as they are in sync with your language.
Changing thoughts means putting in a conscious effort to question your thoughts, and to think differently if you find your thought are not conducive to positive results.

Some AusIDentities personality types are pretty good at starting out this way: Dolphin (NF) and Eagle (NT) personality types are the ones most suited, as they are more in touch with their conceptual, intuitive mind.

The second secret is to change your language, literally. The power of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in action. Whatever you are thinking, SPEAK only in the way you would like your situation to be. Stay away from talking negatively about it, expressing doubt, fear, frustration etc. Bite your tongue if you feel a complaint come up. By cutting out negative talk, and consciously choosing constructive speech, your actions will start to change. Trust me! That will lead to different results, and then to different thoughts about your situation. You then will WANT to talk even more positively about it. This is a very practical application of the Law of Attraction. I know it to be crucial to personal and professional success, yet so few people are utilising it.

The AusIDentities personality types most suited for this style of change -in my opinion- are Dolphin (NF) and Kangaroo (SP).

The third secret is to start acting differently. Do the things you would not do before. The new results will transform your thinking and will make you speak about them more positively, which will provide motivation for even more -different- action.

AusIDentities personality types that apply this philosophy best are Kangaroo (SP) and Wombat (SJ).

Ideally, you would take on aspects of all three change secrets for the most effective result. On the other hand, we all have a preference. For me, for instance, it is quite easy to talk differently, and to use “new” language that speaks of where I want to be. A business partner of mine is really good at throwing his whole behavioural routine out the window, and behave totally different from one day to the next.

Whichever it is for you, take one (or two, or all three) aspect of the triangle of change on board, and apply it consistently. Within no time you will observe changes in the results within your business or career. The more you “resonate” with your desired results, the faster they will come to you. It's the Law of Attraction.......

I've experienced people changing their business for the better by applying this technique. Once you know what “change agent” works best for you, constant adaptation of your business's direction becomes a process under your control, and makes life a lot easier. You will save huge amounts of money and time, and will create far more effective results than fighting against a current. It all starts with knowareness, though; KNOWing what tools you already posses within you, and awARENESS of their application. This is where you can start.

To your success.

Your Success is not My Success

RETURN TO WWW.LANDMARC.INFO

Success is not so much what we have as it is what we are. Jim Rohn

I attended a seminar recently, in which business coaching as a profession was discussed, and what results can be had by actually being coached. To prove the point, slides of fast and luxury cars, big houses, expensive trips, first class travel, shiny jewelry and the like were shown.

By doing so, I realised that the presenter had probably lost 30-50% of his audience immediately.

Why? Because for many personality types within the AusIDentities range, “success” is not about garnering expensive goodies at all. Showing these personality types the above mentioned slides to motivate them will generally have the opposite effect....

The issue here is “success” and two critical questions associated with this concept: 1) what does the word ”success” really mean to you, and 2) where does success sit on your values list?

1) Success for the one is obviously not success for the other, but we seem to have some sort of collective consciousness about success. That's the one I was talking about in the beginning. We seem to believe, as a collective, that making lots of money, driving flash cars, living in beautiful homes is the pinnacle of success, and is what we should strive for. Anything less than that would make you less successful, or even unsuccessful.

My opinion is that we are WAY off a balanced idea of what success really is if we only focus on professional or business success. For instance:

How about:

• the relationship with your partner

• the relationship with your children, family, friends

• your health

• your stress levels

• your personal development

• your work-life balance

• your attitude towards yourself

• etc.

All these factors have to come into play as well when we look at how “successful” someone is. If we only look at the amount of money someone makes, or the “stuff” that this person owns (or has bought with hefty loans!), we diminish our own feeling of success, and will feel bad about that. Moreover, as I said before, for many personality types within the AusIDentities range, a successful life is not about money and prestige per se at all.

The point I am making is this: we are all “successful” one way or another. It just depends on which are of life we are shining a light. Stay away from falling in the (collective consciousness) trap which identifies success with WORLDLY success. You will only punish yourself when you are not “successful” in that definition. As stated before: you ARE successful; we all are. Make a good habit of looking at the areas in life where you consider yourself to be successful. It will help you balance yourself out, and feel good about who you are and what you do (which, in Law of Attraction terms, is the ONE thing life is all about: feeling good).

2) Success is a value. Something we consider important in our lives. In previous articles I have already stated that the way we arrange our values will dictate what we go after in our professional and/or personal lives. The question you have to ask yourself, given your definition of success, is: where does success “sit” in my values priority?

I must admit that for a long time I defined success as “worldly success”, which meant that the things I really am good at did not make me feel successful at all. This lopsided idea of my own success threw me off even further when I gave up my position as an associate within the law firm I was working for. Suddenly, I was not as “successful” as I was before. It became even more apparent when we emigrated, and started with pretty much nothing. No “success” at all.....

Over the years I have realised that I have often tapped into the unconscious collective belief around success, and have beaten myself up over not measuring up to that standard. A contributing factor was that my twisted definition of success did not show up high in my values list either...... I just wasn't into making loads of money and becoming well-known.

I have since established that my private definition of “success” really has NOTHING to do with that collective consciousness, but shows up EVERYWHERE in my daily actions: I have a wonderful relation with my partner and daughter, look after my body really well, look after my mental and spiritual health well, and have great variety in my life, which is really important. In that respect I am TOTALLY successful.

Now, I don't want to beat my own drum here, but want to impress on you that YOU are successful as well, in many areas of your life. You merely have to identify them, and get clear on your personal definition of success. Again, if you keep living up to others' definition of success, while they don't conform to your own, you will have a tough life. And that is NOT the idea of our existence on this planet, is my firm belief.

Set a LandMarc:

Firstly, come clean on how you have defined “success” in your personal and professional life. When, or under what circumstances do you consider yourself successful?

Secondly, in how far is your success definition influenced by what “others” say success is? How much do you look at the “outside world” to define your success? Does that way of looking at it give you a good feeling overall, or do you feel you lack, in terms of success?

Thirdly, how high does success rank on your values list, given your success definition? How much time, energy, money, thought etc. do you give to being successful? Or are you looking at other values in your life (relaxation, socializing, pursuit of knowledge etc.) more than success?

Lastly, given the statement that everyone is successful at many things in their lives, identify at least three areas in yours that you know can be thought of as successful. Do you really FEEL successful about these??? If not, start looking at these areas more closely, and start appreciating your skills and (cap)abilities for what they really are. Remember: success breeds success!

I want to state it again: if you keep looking at others to measure your own success, you will probably never feel good enough about yourself. There will always be other who do things “better”. The key to your success is to look at where you are already successful, and build from there. Law of Attraction will assist when you take that first step, and you know that a journey of 1,000 miles starts with that first step.

To your success!

"Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one." -Benjamin Franklin

Law of Attraction and Finances, part II.

In my most recent Ezine on Law of Attraction I discussed the workings of Law of Attraction (LOA) and finances. How can we use LOA to attract financial prosperity into our lives?

I discussed some basics about LOA and about our thoughts regarding finances.

As I was explaining, there IS a solution to the issue of "attraction of unwanted results". BUT: the solution does not lie in STOPPING to thinking negatively. You don't have to do that. That could already be major relief for some people!

You merely have to turn your thoughts back around towards what it IS you want as soon as you find they are wondering off towards what it is you DO NOT want. It's as simple as that.

Or, to put it even more profoundly: working out how to stop thinking negatively only means that you are putting more energy, attention and focus on the problem (thinking negatively)! This prolongs the negative feeling you really want to change!

Not good.

The process of turning your thoughts towards what is wanted is called pivoting or flip switching.

Our -what I call- internal GPS is the indicator as to what our point of attraction is: when we are feeling good, we are in alignment with who we truly are (call that whatever you want; I call it my "inner being", but any other name will do), and we will be attracting the good stuff, financially. That is because, as I explained previously, we are naturally attracted to "the good", to the things we want. If we feel bad, we are out of alignment, and by default we will attract some of the good stuff, and some of the stuff from the "dark side of the force"........

That internal Global Positioning System is such a powerful tool, and so useful. But mostly we curse it.....because we don't want to feel bad. Whereas "bad" is nothing more than an indicator that we're out of alignment with what we truly want. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no judgment to it, only the negative perception we give it.

Do you want to know the secret to create a life full of financial abundance, joy, prosperity, abundance in all sorts of other areas, health, love, etc?

Well, here it is: Start telling your "story" (being: whatever you consider to be your life) in a new way. Tell your story the way you want it -and therefore your life- to be.

Here's another truth: your desired state of being MUST have been created in spirit (or mind or thought, if you don't like that word) before it can be created in matter. Simple example: all the beautiful buildings we can see in the world were FIRST an idea in the architect's mind, and THEN turned into a reality. It's the same with our creations. We form them in our minds first.

Commit to telling your NEW story. Instead of how the story is right now (which keeps the same staying the same), or how it was in the past (which brings what WAS back to what IS).

Let's record some examples of how people tell their current story around money:

1. I've always had a problem with saving for later;
2. my parents never led an abundant lifestyle, so that's why I don't;
   
3. I'm not clever enough to run a profitable business;
   
4. I don't want people to like me only for my money;
   
5. whatever I do, I just cannot seem to get rid of my debt;
   
6. I am not an entrepreneur, which is why I haven't made much profit;
   
7. I guess a rich life is just not for me;
   
8. there is a maximum to what I can earn;
   
9. my mindset is just wrong!
   
10. etc. etc. etc. 

I could come up with hundreds of similar examples. The point being: they all tell a story based on observation of a seeming reality.

There is this Cycle of Observation going on: observing a situation, offering a vibration based on that observation, LOA responding to the vibration, manifestation happening according to the vibration, observing a (new) situation, etc....

As long as the observations and vibrations offered are attuned to the past or current situation, then chances are likely that manifestation will occur accordingly. Guess what: nothing seems to change!

The key: offer a new vibration, one in line with a desired future reality, a yet unrealised potential. Keep that new vibration up long enough, and you WILL experience a new reality. It can not be another way.

Unless.

Unless there are factors at play out of our control, like strong influences from the collective consciousness, or forces that guide your life 's evolution and are not yours to change (I agree that there is a spiritual touch to this; are our lives pre-determined or not?). I'll write about those in another article, because they definitely play a role within LOA, and sometimes make LOA hugely misunderstood. This is where the Law of Acceptance comes in as well!

Don't turn this "unless" into an excuse, though. You will rarely find this thwarting your intention. There is lots of "free will" available.

If you are serious about increasing the chances of your financial desires actually coming true, then here are 5 Critical Ways to deliberately, and therefore successfully apply the process of flip switching or pivoting:

1. Become really aware of your daily thoughts around money. As soon as you catch yourself thinking a negative -and how do you know that? Yes, by being aware of your feelings!- tell yourself: "thank you, at least now I know what I DON'T want! What DO I want instead?" And ANSWER that question!
   
2. Be sure to assess your feelings making a shift towards "better" when you ponder your answer to the previous question. If that doesn't happen, not even subtly, you may want to think of something else you desire, until your feelings DO go up in vibration.
   
3. Learn to appreciate what you've got, even if it's not a lot! Every day, give thanks for your possessions and your positions; I use this formula: think about 5 things that went well and 5 things that you were grateful for. That creates a strong vibration that is in alignment with what you want.
   
4. Write down in all areas of your life, what money would do for you (in that area). Do it in two steps: what is it, and what value will it give you? This "Values Alignment" exercise will assist you realising why you do what you do in life.
   
5. Count all your financial blessings whenever they occur. In other words: look at where you already have what you are looking for. Each and every day we get financial windfalls, and recognising them will help raise your vibration.
   

 Examples: 

1.        money found on the floor (I find lots of it!)

2.        discounts you got but didn't count on

3.        a tax refund

4.        a two-for-one deal that saves you money

5.        a win in the lottery

6.        a pay-rise

7.        a tip

8.        extra interest on your savings account

9.        a friend who shouts you a drink/meal

10.    a free ride of any kind 
 

and there are plenty more of these kind of windfalls!

Remember: it's not the quantity that counts. Five cents is worth as much vibrationally as five million dollars. Water is water, whether as a raindrop or as an ocean. If you can bring up feelings of gratitude, you're doing good! 

To finish off: here are 4 Action Steps to help you get more of what you want, and less of what you don't.  

Set a Landmarc:

Firstly, Always (always!) pay yourself first, and research your financial status: what money have you got where? Knowing what to do will not change you; doing what you know will.

Pay yourself 10% of whatever you earn, find, get paid, get bequeathed, get gifted, and put it into a savings account. I have a system in place for accumulating wealth. Ask me about it.

Secondly, Never say "no" to money. In other words: always say YES to money, even if you feel guilty, or think you "can't accept that". You're not getting it for nothing (!).

Thirdly, Give thanks for bills, invoices and services rendered. You are paying for something you have (had) use of. It's good to be thankful for that. Seriously, do it! Say thanks, and pay the bill with a smile.

Lastly, Become part of an accountability group. Get together once a month with a group of like minded people, and create a collective vibration geared towards increasing financial abundance. Guess what a group vibration does in terms of strength! It's massive!

Obviously, I've only been able to lift the veil on this topic. There is way more to talk about, and way more that can be done. As long as you keep in mind that your current feelings about the topic of finances are a good indicator as to what your point of attraction is, you've already won half the game. The rest of the game will be won with practice!

Until next time, go well, be well, and live well!

Law of Attraction and Finances. 

Often, I get asked to speak or write about the topic of Law of Attraction (LOA) and money -or finances. Very understandable; if we could once and for all "solve" our money "issues" with LOA, that'd be worth a lot to many people!

When it comes to LOA and the application of it in any area of life, there are 5 basic Knowareness Principles that need to be understood:

1. willingness to accept there is more between heaven and earth than our senses can pick up on (initially);
   
2. willingness to accept that where you WERE and where you ARE have no correlation at all with where you WANT to be and CAN be;
   
3. willingness to accept your life as it is, right now, balls and all.
   
4. willingness to be patient, consistent, trusting and expectant;
   
5. Willingness to count your blessings, no matter how insignificant they seem to be. 
   
6. I've said it many times before: LOA is all about vibes; vibes are our emotions, the feelings we send out. The quantum space, which surrounds us all, always responds to our vibes, our feelings and our feelings arise from the thoughts we think. 
   

So when do we have a feeling, a mood, an emotional state? Well, always! We are always sending a vibration out. Just step into a room where a group of people had a massive verbal fight just before. You can sense the vibration they sent out! Or the other way around: a room where people had a belly laugh 5 minutes earlier; you still sense the joy in that room.

The crux of the successful application of LOA lies in the recognition of Deliberate vs "Undeliberate" Intent. 95% of the time we are creating our financial situation undeliberately; financial situations happen because they've always happened that way. We're just on this merry-go-round, constantly coming across either the same, or very similar financial circumstances.

In other words: our lives live us.

The solution can be found in deliberate intent: the 5% that's left. Things happen because we want them to happen. We put effort in.

In other words: we live our lives.

Money in itself is not the road to happiness, nor is it the source of all evil. On the other hand, because the topic of money (or the lack of it) hits us so often in a day (100s maybe even 1000s of times we think in terms of money) it does have pretty big influence on how we feel.

That being so, would you agree that, if we start to master something that affects us that often in a day, we have done something pretty good?

My personal belief is that we, spiritually, are meant to be having a joyful life experience. We are innately good, and long for (and work on!) a happy, expansive, prosperous life. Which is a vibrational experience!

Now, as with everything, there is an absence of this as well, the "not having such a life". That's the Law of Polarity in action. So, when you are NOT sending out vibrations that give you that prosperous life, you will experience facets of the non-prosperity. It's merely the other side of the medal!

Many people ask me: how did I ATTRACT all that financial crap? Or: when I am thinking negative thoughts, I am ATTRACTING that crap to me!

I say that that is not true. What IS happening is that you are DISALLOWING prosperity, and the disallowance is not our natural state.

Do you get that?

Because you are not in alignment with your natural state, you are THEREFORE, BY DEFAULT, experiencing the other side of it, the NON-aspects of financial prosperity.

This in itself could already give massive relief to many people, as they think that they are -for some unknown reason- ATTRACTING the negative, pulling it in. They're not. So they don't need to do all sorts of massive work on themselves to STOP attracting the negative financial results. There is an easier solution!

The question then rises: how do I find this easier solution? How do I consistently attract prosperity and financial abundance into my life? Well, that's where deliberate intent comes in! This I will discuss in the second instalment of this article. 

That is also where I will be giving you plenty of action steps to start gathering financial momentum in your own life!

This month, check within yourself where you are on the merry-go-round. Where are you repetitious when it comes to your finances? Are you often stating "I cannot afford that", "that is too expensive", etc? Are you often worried about bills coming in? Are you continually "trying" to get out of financial trouble? 

Don't worry if that is you. There is a way out. As with everything, though: it has to start with awareness! 

To your success!

Goal Achievement 101: Let Go of The Outcome

Return to www.landmarc.info

Goal achievement 101: let go of the outcome

“The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.” –William Booth

One of the Knowareness Principles in my Integrated Development System is that achieving our personal and professional goals happens way more quickly when we surrender to the outcome and let go of our need for the end result.

Over time I received several question about the topic of surrendering when it comes to achieving goals; the most prominent one deals with the surrendering bit. “Action taking” and “surrendering” seem to be contradicting one another; so how can they coexist?

Well, in my philosophy, letting go IS an action step; it is part of the goal achievement process. As much as “doing nothing” is an action step, surrendering is. It requires effort on our behalf to let go of the outcome of our goal, and to watch it unfold.

Too often, we try to force things into existence. We hammer, drill, screw, dig, and work ourselves to the bone to force future potential in the direction we want to have it head in. We take all sorts of action steps to make sure we get what we want, and to prevent us from NOT getting it.

In that scenario we forget that our actions are just a minor part of the whole manifestation process; our INTENT is way more powerful! Moreover, limited as we are in our ability to oversee ALL the possibilities (remember: Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) states that reality is our PERCEPTION of it, which is limited!), we usually THINK we know the way to what it is we want, but really……., we don’t!

Surrendering, letting go, allowing (all mean the same) encompasses setting our intent, taking whatever action we can to make sure we are on track, and THEN letting the process of manifestation doing its work. That doesn’t mean we sit still and wait; on the contrary. We can still set action steps, but only when they are based on our enthusiasm and desire for the end result. As soon as we feel doubtful or fearful and use THAT as the reason for doing something, we are thwarting our own intention. Also, sometimes the result will come from a totally different direction than we thought it would. If we then try to redirect the course, because we think things are going “wrong”, we shooting ourselves in the foot!

I’ll use and example from my own coaching practice. I’ve always wanted to work with international clientele. I really didn’t have a clue how to manifest that, other than setting up a website, writing articles, positioning my business, and getting as much exposure as possible.

I did get some international success (I gave seminars in the Netherlands and Sweden, and had a handful of international clients, but that was it. My intention was still to do way more than that, and I surrendered to any option out there to give me that extra.

To cut a very long story short, I have been working with internet marketer Glenn Dietzel’s Awaken the Author Within system and Sell High Priced Programs for a while, but more on the back end. I did not have much client exposure for quite some time. Recently one of the business coaches on the team decided to pursue her own career, and suddenly I had about 15-20 new INTERNATIONAL clients, from all over the world…….

Now did I see this as the “logical” next step to achieve my initial goal of building my practice? Of course not. It “just happened”. Why? Well, my firm intention is because I let go of the HOW-question. I didn’t know HOW it was going to happen, I just trusted it would, because I had done what I thought I could to MAKE it happen.

I bet you have experienced something similar before yourself: you try to achieve something, and whatever you do, it doesn’t work. Ultimately, you throw your hands up in desperation and shout “ah, forget it!”. Not long after, the exact desired result shows up. That’s the power of letting go!

This is the Knowareness nugget I want you to take away from this example: you do not need to know the HOW’s of your manifestation process, as long as you know your WHAT’s and WHY’s. Action is a great step, but only after you got clear about what you want and why you want it, and can then trust the manifestation process to do its work for you.

Set a Landmarc:

Firstly, when setting a goal, be very clear about what it is you want. In my Law of Attraction material I teach people to get that clarity by first finding out what they do NOT want anymore!

Secondly, always stay true to your intention, even when things seems to go “wrong” (whatever that is anyway….); the universe works in mysterious ways! Stay focused, and let go of the time frame in which you think “things should’ve happened”.

Thirdly, stay away from taking action when you don’t have a good feeling about that action. If you feel like doing something because you’re fearful, doubtful or impatient, it may not be the right motivator. Challenge your reasons for taking this action step. Can it wait? Have you got all the facts? Are you in “reaction-mode” rather than in “action-mode”? Is there an immediate risk that needs attending to, or is it all “in your mind”?

Lastly, be open to alternative ways that lead you to the same result. We just do not know all the roads to Rome, although all the roads do lead to Rome! Having the flexibility to change direction may lead to the same or and even better result!

Admittedly, not ALWAYS do we achieve our professional and personal goals. Sometimes there are other plans in place for us. The same Knowareness Principle applies: can you let go of your initial outcome, and redirect your course? The more flexible you are, the easier life will be perceived, which is a blessing once you start to experience it I’ll touch on that in future articles.

Getting More Out of Life

"If everybody thought before they spoke, the silence would be deafening." -George Barzan

One of my most prominent mentors in life, Michael Roads, says: “there is nothing outside of Self”. With this he means more than I can write in this ezine. The gist of it is that we create and allow everything that happens in our lives, good or bad. We either actively create the situation, or we allow it to happen to us, without doing something about it.

I admit that this is a pretty big statement, but there you go. My Knowareness Principles are all about taking responsibility for our lives, both personally and professionally. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) teaches the same, buy the way: we create our reality through our senses.

In light of this, have you ever realized that the current so-called “global financial crisis” is purely man-made, and therefore can also be man-unmade? Outside of us, human beings, there is no crisis going on. The sun still rises and sets, the birds are still chirping, we still drive cars, we still buy stuff, we still live somewhere, etc.

Understand me correctly, I am not saying that there is nothing going on. What I AM saying is that whatever is going on right now (and for some people it is pretty bad), it is brought about by our thoughts and feelings about the future.

You can hear it everywhere: FEAR about the FUTURE economic situation has created the massive sell-out on the stock market.

Now, what is FEAR? Fear is a combination of a bundle of thoughts about a potential future, combined with a negative feeling about that potential future. Mark my emphasis on POTENTIAL. The feared future has not happened yet. No-one really knows if it is going to happen. The total opposite of the feared potential future may be the one coming true…..But still, the fear is there, and we start to act upon our thoughts and emotions: let’s get out of the stock market before our fears come true!

And –surprise, surprise- what happens? Our fears come true, because we acted upon them. It’s the classis example of the self-fulfilling prophecy.

It’s applied NLP, combined with some Law of Attraction principles: our thoughts create a physiological response, which in turn creates a feeling. The whole lot together creates an emotion in us, which makes us act in a certain fashion. Whether our initial thoughts are based upon facts or conjecture doesn’t matter. We still feel and we still act!

It’s about time that we as a species start to wake up and observe what we are doing. There is no outside force at play, that suddenly creates a recession. The “share market” is not some sort of foreign thing that does what it pleases. It is controlled by traders, human beings, who act on behalf of their clients, again human beings, who are panicking about future losses, thereby creating a roller coaster ride. The same with “the economy”. That is not an entity over which we don’t have any say. We ARE the economy, is my opinion. Our manufacturing, spending, saving, consuming, etc, dictates the economy.

The Law of Attraction, in both personal and professional settings, is pretty simple: whatever we focus on with intent and emotion has the tendency to become reality. Just look at what has happened over the last couple of weeks. Fears about a recession actually bring on a recession. Now if that is true, we can just as easily turn it around. Thoughts about a prosperous future, thought with intent and emotion, will bring that future about. Same rule, same application.

Of course there is something like “global consciousness”, so there may be forces at play that go beyond what we as individuals can influence. Nevertheless, I encourage you to –in your own circle of life- be as balanced as possible, combined with a persistent focus on what it is you DO want from your professional and personal life, not on what you DO NOT want. If enough people can stay cool, calm and collected, we’ll sit this ride out easily. On the other hand, if you like your life to be in a massive roller coaster, with good and bad parts, well, you may want to join the masses……

Set a Landmarc:

Firstly: Where in your personal and professional life are you ruled by your (in this case: negative) emotions, sometimes making decisions without really having thought the situation through? Where have you done so in the past? Have there been moments where you said to yourself: that was a somewhat too rash decision……? I may have chosen otherwise if I had given the situation more thought…..Make a firm commitment to act differently in the future, taking at least 3 more deep breaths before you react.

Secondly: do you find you are often planning your future based upon what you FEAR may happen if you don’t do something about it now? If so, realize that you are given your fear immense power. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it may yield you unwanted results. Commit to, from now on, planning your life based more upon what you would LIKE to happen in the future. You’ll increase your chances of actually getting just that, and will be way more motivated.

Thirdly: become more of an observer of “worldly news”. My life has not been affected at all by the global crisis. In fact, I have the busiest weeks ever ahead in my practice……only my THOUGHTS about my potential future will bring about a change in my practice; that’s my deep conviction. The more you can stay neutral to what seems to be happening, the more you will have a neutral, balanced life, unaffected by worldly crises.

Lastly: look at the medium to long term in your life. Even experienced stock market traders know that. If you look at too short periods of time, you will find your emotions going up and down, up and down. If you look at long terms averages, you will be way more stable emotionally, which will improve the quality of your thoughts, and therefore the quality of your results.
There’s a lot more to say about this, but let me finish by reiterating that going along with the global emotional waves usually doesn’t lead to stable and uplifting thoughts and emotions (just look at the current climate in the stock market). Mastering the Observer Perspective is one great way to gain more control over your destiny. The observer perspective can be learned, relatively easily. The choice is up to you.
