Developing Compliant Workers Into Dedicated Workers
Managers are rushed. They have a lot more to do today with fewer resources. It is natural to take the quickest route to accomplish an immediate task. Far too often this takes the form of telling a subordinate what to do and how to do the desired task. Big mistake. You will not develop the skills of your people doing it this way.
A Quest for Understanding and Connection - Part 2
Indigenous peoples understood that the physical and spiritual worlds were part of a vast web of life—interconnected, interdependent, and whole. They understood that the past, present, and future are interrelated and that time is illusory. They saw existence as a circle without end, whole and unfragmented.
The Secret Master Keys: System of Conscious Co-Creation
Written in 1912 by Charles F. Haanel (1866 - 1949), and first published in book form in 1919 and selling more than 200,000 copies, The Master Key System was designed as a 24 week course. Charles Haanel, I believe, intuitively understood the workings of the human mind and wrote his Master Keys as a means of removing our sub-conscious 'self-sabotage programs' and replacing them with a series of 'Keys' which allow us to reach our full potential.
Visualization And Social Anxiety
Social anxiety disorder greatly reduces the quality of a person's life. People who suffer from social anxiety miss out on so much that life has to offer. Opportunities are greatly limited, because the person who suffers from social anxiety cannot take advantage of any opportunity that might require social interaction - and most opportunities in life do require some sort of social interaction.
Why You Must Start Setting Goals!
If there is one message I must get across, it is this. You must start setting goals in every major area of your life. Right now, whatever your age, whatever you are doing. Without something to focus on, the decisions we make and actions we take daily will not have any long-term direction, and will not result in any kind of achievement.
The Incredible Power of Beliefs
Why are some people able to achieve so much more out of their lives than others? Why are some people able to produce outstanding, extraordinary results, exceeding what is commonly expected? Is it because they have a lot more talent or capability? Do they have superior resources that other people lack? Did the Wright brothers, inventors of the airplane, possess more aerodynamic and engineering expertise than the sum of all the engineers and inventors of their time? Did Mahatma Gandhi come from a powerful family that enabled him to establish a power base to liberate India from the British? Was Ho Chi Min a mighty general who trained the Viet Cong to first drive out the French and then the Americans? These men did not possess any measurable resources to achieve their accomplishments.
Success Happens By Design
The following study was conducted at Yale University in 1953. In that year, a batch of fresh graduates was surveyed, and in this batch, only 3% had their goals written down. Some of their goals included: 'being a best-selling novelist, starting a computer company and taking it public, running for President etc.
Recognize the source and purpose of vision. It's purpose is to be shared with all those around us.
Living life based purely on our own personal needs is really living life at the most primitive level. It makes no allowance for the wonder of investing into our fellow humans beings and the generations yet to come. The inheritance we leave behind is the materials that another generation will build upon. One of the reasons I love writing, is it is my personal investment to those who find my life helpful to theirs. The thought that someone one hundred years from now may glimpse my life and evaluate my thoughts, both excites me and empowers me to write more. A selfless life is committed to investing beyond our own needs and into the needs of another.
Not wishful thinking or a good idea it is "supernatural"
If everyone planned their life as a result of their vision for it, we would call that common sense or just the natural process of living. The truth is, not everyone lives their life according to the ultimate purpose for which life is lived. Most people live life from one circumstance to another and plan in the midst of this process.
Living life with purpose and intent, or according to our destiny is supernatural. It goes beyond the natural approach to living, by taking responsibility for the decisions we are to make ahead of time. At this level of living we move beyond the norm and venture into the supernatural. Wishful thinking is really living life in a knee jerk fashion. Vision is all about purposeful living. Fashioning our daily lives according to the blue print, which we have seen ahead of time. Visionaries do not live their life by "chance", they live their life out of purposeful action.
Vision is not contrary to our creators will
Regardless of our spiritual persuasion, we need to accept that we are designed for greatness. Heaven and earth conspire to create a quality of life, which goes beyond temporal living. Living life at its poorest form is ignorance and at its greatest level, enlightenment. Life lived at a quality of total awareness, is a life lived with extreme potential. Vision is available to every person on earth. Poverty of imagination is poverty at it's worst. As our mind begins to dream of potential, our will begins to change towards the probabilities of what can be.
As we each take up our personal responsibility to dream on a level beyond the natural, we enter in to a dimension of creativity. Creativity is the gift that we were all born with, but circumstances conspire to rob us of the initiative to birth the seed of creativity. The will of our creator is to empower each one of us with the same creative capacity.
Not based on abilities and talents, though we may use them positively or negatively
Poverty of spirit is the main reason why many of us live it what could have been, rather than what can be. When we excuse our lack of achievement on our lack of provision, we exclude ourselves from the power of creativity. One only needs to travel into less affluent Nations to recognize the creative genius that appears as a result of need. Resources may well be in poor supply, but invention and creativity is never an orphan.
Starting where we are at is a fundamental philosophy to success. If we are waiting for all we need before we start we will never start. The hidden inertia that compels vision forward is initiative. Resources and provision are drawn to those who live by vision, and the momentum that gathers as a result of initiative is fair reward to those bold enough to act upon it.

Success Momentum I want you now to decide that you are going to clean up your room, but instead of doing all the work today just decide that you will put only 5 items in place each day.
