Watching the birth of my son recently gave me great pause and really demonstrated the enormous blessing that life really is. But most of all, it has fascinated me to new levels of thinking. I find myself pondering….What are a baby’s thoughts? It may seem like a comical question to ask, but I think it is a glimpse at the fundamental of life itself and maybe even a key to boundless energy to be who we thrive to be.
My son was born about 3 weeks early so his little body practically fit in my one hand. As I held him in total amazement, you cannot help but notice life spring forth. Within moments he opened his eyes and started flailing his tiny arms and legs. I was caught completely off guard not expecting his little blue eyes to lock on mine so early. I was not really sure what to expect this being my first child, but I was really thinking there would be a scared, screaming infant in terror of this new dramatically different world. Here he is warm and comfortable in his mother’s quiet womb and within a moment notice he is pulled out into a cold, loud, chaotic world. What could have been going through his mind? If his face could say anything at the time, he was more calm than me.

| Just saw a powerful film that was recently featured on Oprah. Some of the best authors and speakers came together to layout this film and explain how you can start changing your life today. Amazingly, they noticed that same pattern in history that sparked my interest in this discovery. Some of the greatest achievers in history, knew how to harness the power of their minds to bring about their dreams.
One of the speakers in particular, made me think of my progress. I bought a book by Joe Vitale AKA Mr. Fire. I purchased his book as a combo deal on Amazon, when I first started studying the Law of Attraction. At the time, it was an extra $3 and he had many glowing reviews. I remember reading the first few pages and turning to my wife in bed and saying this guy is a kook…He says, you can get a new car, just by dreaming about it. I threw the book on the night stand an there it sat for about 6 months. Then through another technique that Joe spoke about–Gratitude–I started seeing unbelievable results. Nothing short of miracles started appearing in my life. So I picked up the book and finished it. I have to admit still that the concepts sound unbelievable, but I am living proof that they do in fact work. The Secret has some incredible points and some, to the first timer, are down-right unbelievable. But I find, sitting back and watching this movie either a great starting point or a needed refresher. |
Before I got my first motorcycle, I attended a mandatory safety school that the military required for you to ride a motorcycle on the base. At the time, I never knew how that class might help me. I was riding dirt bikes and all terrain vehicles since I was kid so I walked in thinking it would be a huge waste of time. But there was one statement that the instructor nailed into our heads. Not only did it save my life countless numbers of times, but it also has an impact on everything else we all do.
He said over and over…”You will always go in the direction that you are looking….So don’t look down, because that is where you will go.”

One of the main reasons people feel so disconnected from the world and thus un-happy is they are struggling to find their purpose in life. The simple fact that you are in search of your purpose already puts you on the path of finding it.
The sad truth is when you do find your purpose, you will see it was always within your grasp. You just had trouble seeing it. So first you must have faith that you will find it since it is so close.

Listen to yourself!
We spend so much time focusing in on what is happening on the outside that we rarely listen to what is going on in the inside. The outside world is only a reflection of what is happening to you on the inside. Don’t believe me…try listening to yourself. Are you saying things like, “I am so stupid!” every time something bad happens? How about my old favorite, “This always happens to me!” Well let me let you in on a little secret…you are always ab-so-lute-ly right!

Sounds like an absurd question, but I believe people underestimate the effects of happiness in our own lives. Being happy may actually effect what is happening to you in your life, the life of your loved ones and most importantly your own body and the health of people around you.
I am sure each and everyone of have experienced a “slump” in our lives, where it seems nothing could go right. I hope you have also experience a time when you seemed to be “on,” maybe upon meeting a new love or playing well in an game. Well you may be in more control than you thought. It is not a coincidence, that these events happened to be around each other. As you dig deeper you will see that there is no such thing as coincidences at all.

In training managers on how to deal with “difficult” employees I would explain to them to remember that each and every person believes they are right in what they do. Think about it, if they did not know the difference between right and wrong they would be in a prision or a rubber room. That is what we lable irrational thought. However, it is only irrational to you the observer.
It is amazing what occurs when managers truly understand this concept. Instead of getting mad and maybe exploding on an employee, they start having empathy and try to really understand what made the employee’s work under par. They actually try to solve the problem. It is also amazing what happens with the employee. Instead of thinking that “the boss is always picking on me” they really begin to admire their boss and their morale and productivity rises.
