Your Life Is a Reflection of How You See It

  Have you ever been so certain on an issue in your life where you were convinced it was absolutely true, only to have a different point of view introduced that blew that belief right out of the water? Wouldn’t it be great if you can discover a way to dissolve inner conflicts as well as conflicts with others? How would you feel if you discovered a way to break through your fears and into your personal power to be able to achieve your goals and visions?

  This last weekend I was part of a powerful workshop/retreat with NLP master Terry Hickey where I learned some incredible tools to move my life forward as well as the lives of others around me. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a huge transformation in their life to contact Terry.

 I believe in sharing personal information when I think it might benefit others and that is why I am including in this post my personal notes from Terry’s first day of his workshop. These notes are on how the information I learned will impact my life. This recording was taken while hiking in Tucson, AZ. and so at times I sound out of breath and there is some wind noise as well.

 Enjoy this audio recording and I welcome all comments.

Who Said Life Would Be Easy?

 This morning I received an email from my wife Laurie with my horoscope for the day. It read as follows: 

 ”Nobody ever said it was going to be easy. Okay, maybe somebody did say that. But they were wrong, and if you believed them, you could be in for a little wake-up call. But don’t worry — if things were easy, life would be so boring! It’s much better this way. You’ll be much more energized and engaged, and that will make the whole prospect more interesting.”

  I have to say, “I love it!” I wouldn’t want my life to be anyway else. Easy is boring.

Life Is Perfect Just The Way It Is

  Now I am not saying that by perfect I mean that life always goes as planned for me. There is a saying that goes like this; “If you want to make God laugh, tell God your plans.” Life is perfect just the way it is because every experience along my path, whether it went smoothly or was filled with challenges brought me to where I am now. Every challenge I faced made me a better person for it and it did not matter whether the end result was as I expected because whatever the outcome I received valuable lessons and experiences.

 Sometimes Help Is All You Need

   Why are there so many people who believe whenever life is not easy for them they have to figure it out all on their own.Why would they put themselves and their families through so much pain and frustration?  Why not ask for help? It is foolish to think some people wouldn’t use the experience and knowledge available to them today, which can be found through life coaches, business coaches, mentors, spiritual advisors, books and the internet.  I often look to my mentors and coaches for help because it just makes sense. Whatever my situation is, chances are that someone else has been there before, so I want to use that information to my benefit. Knowing there is always help when I need it lets me look at life as a game I enjoy playing, to get to the next level.

  What Happened to Your Dream?

  Let me guess. You had a fantastic  life dream and you knew this one was going to come true for you. You started making plans for action, you had it all laid out in your mind on how it was going to work out for you and you saw your future with your dream coming true.

   Let’s fast forward to a few months or maybe a year later. You vaguely remember the excitement you felt about your dream and you are not sure how you wondered off track. You feel let down because this is another dream that hsn’t come true for you. You wonder what happened?

 Where Was Your Vision?

  We live in a very complex and fast paced world today. It is easy to get distracted with all that is happening around us. Here are just a few examples:

• Television
• News
• Social media such as facebook, twitter and myspace.
• Family
• Bills
• Business or job,….and the list goes on and on and on!

It is easy to see that before long, we are way off track from our goals,  dreams and visions. Chances are very strong, once we lose that momentum, we never get it back and we just plain give up. So, what can we do to keep ourselves focused and on track in pursuing our goals and dreams?

Keep Your Vision in Front of You! 

 There are many tools we can use to keep ourselves focused on the end result of our dreams. We can hire a coach, a mentor, be part of a mastermind group or have an accountability buddy. These are all great and can help you achieve some tremendous results, and yet, there is something you can do by yourself to keep your “eye on the prize.” Start a vision board and place it in a location where you will see it often. A vision board can be made from a poster board and you can glue pictures and write comments on it that represent what you want to achieve. They are fun and easy to put together and are  powerful tools to help you stay focused. Along with multiple vision boards I also place inspiring quotes and statements around my house as gentle reminders to what I want to accomplish. Move them around so that you don’t get accustomed to seeing them in the same place.  Another great idea is setting up your vision as a slide show and make it your screen saver on your computer.

 Start Your Vision Now!

 Get started immediately, while your dream is fresh in your mind. This is a fun and effective meathod for you to self coach yourself to success! Your dream is waiting for you!
