Do You Believe What You See or Do You See What You Believe?

March 29, 2010 | 3 Comments


I feel like Alice in Wonderland sometimes. And the reason I say that is because I don’t always believe what I see - but I do see what I believe. A bit confusing at first, but realize that your beliefs always precede reality. You can only see and experience what you believe.

And if you don’t see it, then it’s what I call a blind spot (also known as a scotoma). We normally get blind spots:

  • from limiting beliefs that don’t support us on the journey towards our goals
  • in our ability to see character traits in ourselves that others see as obvious
  • in our ability to perceive solutions to a problem when we’re in an unresourceful or negative state
And if you don’t think you have any blind spots, then make sure to watch this video clip.  It really sends the message home.  Once you watch the video be sure to leave your thoughts down below.

Are Your Thoughts Negative or Positive?

March 22, 2010 | 4 Comments


It’s crazy if you think of it. The human mind can think faster than most of us can read. Most of the time we don’t even know what we’re thinking. Our mind works way too quickly for us to keep track.

Some people will tell you that they’re really positive, but they always feel like crap.

Is that positive thinking? I don’t think so.

What about you? Are your thoughts negative or positive? and how can you tell?

WARNING: Don’t even think of Filling the Void Until You…

March 17, 2010 | 1 Comment


I remember working as an engineer.  I had just graduated from University, started working and thought, “this isn’t any fun,” because it wasn’t.  It was work. Not fun.  But I assumed that having a job and making money would make me happy.

Boy, was I wrong.

Even though I worked as an engineer for seven years and made good money, all that time I knew that something was missing…

…but what?

Filling the Void

When you want something - a job that you love, a successful business, a new car - it doesn’t matter what it is - you expect to DO certain things in order to HAVE what you want.

DOING comes before HAVING.

Makes sense, right?

Here are a few examples:

  • you take action and prepare a killer resume (DOING) so that you can have a job that you love
  • you take action and create an excellent business plan (DOING) so that you can have a flourishing and prosperous business
  • you take action and go to several car dealerships (DOING) so that you can have the perfect car

Nothing too shocking about that.  It takes action to get what you want.

What happens for some people is that they take action perfectly - and some of them even get what they want, but still find that they’re unhappy.

Why?

Be-Do-Have Paradigm

There is this paradigm that’s called the BE-DO-HAVE paradigm.

Maybe you’ve heard of it.

This is how it works.  If you want to HAVE something, you must DO something first. Doing comes before having as I mentioned earlier.

That’s obvious, but here’s what you may not have known.

It’s that BEING always precedes DOING. That means you must first be a certain way before you ever do what’s needed so that you can have what you want.

Money and the Law of Attraction

March 15, 2010 | 4 Comments


Money and the Law of Attraction.  Using the Law of Attraction to create more cash in your life has got to be one of the most misunderstood concepts that came out of the movie The Secret.  I know it confused the heck out of me.  It took me quite a while to get a handle on it.

Why?

I think the reason it took me so long is because I don’t normally associate positive feelings with the idea of money.  And if I’m not feeling, then I’m not attracting. After all, this is a feeling Universe.

The real secret (if there is one) to attract more of the green stuff into your life is to appreciate the value of the service you offer in exchange for money.  That sends a totally different signal and vibration to the Universe.

Money As A Symbol

Think of money as a symbol. It represents and is an expression of someone’s appreciation for you.

Let’s say you’re in a job.  When the boss pays you, what s/he is really saying is, “here is this gift which symbolizes how much I appreciate you…” in the form of cash, check or deposit.  The more your boss appreciates you, the more money you make.

The reason your boss gives you money in the first place is because you’re “worth” something to them.  This worth-i-ness is measured by how much they appreciate you.  The more they appreciate you, the more money you make.

So what I’m really saying here is that earning money has nothing to do with money and everything to do with how much people (who pay you) appreciate what you do.  The more they appreciate what you do, the more money you’ll make.

Self-Appreciation

Now here’s something that’s also true.  When the boss gives you money, s/he won’t appreciate what you do unless YOU appreciate what you do.  Appreciation comes from the self, which means that you’re the starting point to all of the abundance and prosperity that you want.

That’s why I believe it is absolutely necessary that you start by doing what you love.  Because when you do - you start to focus on all the positive aspects of your work experience.

This mental shift generates a feeling of appreciation and acceptance for what you do.  And as you begin to appreciate what you do, you begin to influence the people around you with this thought of appreciation.

The more you appreciate what you do (for money), the more others experience this appreciation and the faster money will come into your experience.

So that’s the first order of business: Appreciate what you do (for money).  Realize that money is a symbol that represents how much someone appreciates your service - regardless if you’re in a job or in your own business.  The more others appreciate your service, the more money you will make.

3 Limiting Beliefs that Restrict Your Ability to Manifest

February 22, 2010 | 8 Comments


I think one of the most difficult aspects of being a deliberate creator is to trust in the process of manifestation.  To allow it to happen and hold hopeful thoughts of joy and happiness while practicing the mind power techniques that I’ve shared on my blog.

You become what you think about.  Strong lasting words with very little impact if you still hold these 3 limiting beliefs:

Limiting Belief #1: The World is a Scary Place

If you believe the world is against you instead of for you then you’ll never be in a position to let the good you desire come into your life.  Fear is a low level emotion that holds you in an everlasting state of incubation.  It creates distance between you and what you want.

You’ll never germinate your dreams in this state of mind. Einstein once said,

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.”

And that’s the point.  You must believe that everyone and everything in your life is here to help and support you on your journey. The Universe is not against you - it’s for you - because you are a part of the Universe.

Limiting Belief #2: There is Not Enough to Go Around for Everyone

There is a virus in the minds of people that says that if I get what I want then somebody else loses.  It also says that if you get what you want then someone else has to suffer.  That there is only so much to go around and soon we’re going to run out.

This idea of, “not enoughness” comes from the mental habit of thinking scarcity. The reason it’s such a strong belief is because most people put so much attention and emphasis on the physical world that they believe that physical reality is the only reality.  And that idea limits what they can create in their life.

Instead hold ideas of abundance.  Hold ideas that there is more than enough to go around.  Hold ideas that there is more than enough money, ideas, love, friendships and opportunity.  Continually coax and convince yourself that we live in an abundant Universe; that there is more than enough for everyone.

How to Gain Lost Confidence and Take a Fearless Step

February 16, 2010 | 8 Comments


“Right now, in this moment, you are capable of exponential improvement in your performance.  You don’t have to settle for things as they are now.  That can change.  Dramatically.  You haven’t been reaching your full potential.  So far, you haven’t even come close.” ~ Price Pritchett

Now for most of us we’ve been taught that the best way to grow and become more is by trying harder.  You’ve got to push on through your feelings and do it.   Trying harder is how you accomplish more.  I’m sure you’ve heard that before.

The problem with always pushing yourself is that it leads to physical symptoms like burnout, fatigue and exhaustion.   The harder you try, the worse you feel and in some cases, the less you accomplish.

Not only does this approach create burnout, but it can also creates negative emotional states and feelings like frustration, worry and fear.

Fear is the strongest of all negative emotions.  It’s a dream killer and it’s the reason that many people have trouble moving forward with what’s important to them.

As an example let’s say you’re looking at a new career.  You would really like to start writing and being more creative because you want to use more of your natural talents and unique abilities.

On the outside it seems like a good idea, but on the inside you have these doubts and fears.  You think to yourself,

“What if I’m not good enough?”
“What if I’m not smart enough.”
“What if I’m not qualified?”
“What if they don’t like me?”
“What if I’m too old?”
“What if I’m too young?”

What if, what if, what if?  All these doubts running through your mind.  So on the outside you really want to take steps to make this new career happen, but on the inside you feel like you’re going through hell trying to get there.  You feel stuck.

On one side of the coin you have this desire to grow and express more of who you really are and on the other side your fear is keeping you stuck.  Your mind is trying to balance your fears and desires - where one part of you really wants this new career and the other part is resisting.

So how do you get around it?

I’m glad you asked.  What we want to do is understand what exactly is controlling your internal thermostat; this balance between your fears and desires.  Because once you know how to engage your desires and eliminate your fear, anything is possible.

Feeling Overwhelmed? Try This!

January 26, 2010 | 5 Comments


I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs. Sometimes it’s better to just lay low and take a break from it all so that you can see the stars through the clouds. It’s easy to get so caught up in the “doing” and working harder mentality to the point where you’re feeling overwhelmed.

In today’s video, I’ll share a trick that has helped me eliminate that nasty feeling of being overwhelmed.

How to Believe in Your Dreams - 3 Steps

January 11, 2010 | 16 Comments


Belief is a powerful word - the state of knowing and feeling certain that something special is coming your way. Through my own personal experience I’ve found that creating that state of certainty - to believe in your dreams - has 3 steps.

Here are 3 steps to believe in your dreams:

Step #1. Love What You Do

Recently I was watching Steve Jobs present his commencement speech to the Standford College graduates.  Steve is one of the co-founders of Apple computers.  Although Jobs is not a college graduate himself he had an important message to help anyone create belief in their dreams.

Steve said that many people try to connect the dots looking forward so that they can see what their life will look like in the future.  He said that’s the wrong approach because connecting the dots only happens when you’re looking backward.  It’s only after something happens in your life that you realize how it got you to where you are.

He gives the example of when he got fired from Apple.  He spent 10 years of his life building this multi-billion dollar company.  And when he got fired at the age of 30 it turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to him because a few months later he met his wife.

Jobs says that you can’t connect the dots moving forward.  You can only have faith and believe in your dreams.  Jobs says that the only thing that kept him going all those years when he faced adversity was the fact that he absolutely loved what he was doing.  The lesson?

Do what you love and love what you do.  To believe in your dreams, make sure to find what you absolutely love to do and the go out and do it.

Step #2. Always Think On Paper

I was at a seminar in Universal City last year and saw some amazing speakers and presenters.  One of them was the rich dad from Robert Kiyosaki’s popular book: Rich Dad, Poor Dad.  He said something that I’ll never forget,

“Always think on paper.” ~ Keith Cunningham

That means taking a pen/pencil and writing out what you want.  Then taking that initial draft and rewriting and refining it until it feels right to you.  Creating a state of certainty starts when you know what you want.

Have you ever been to a restaurant when the server suddenly came by to take your order?  And because you were unsure of what you wanted, you fumbled a bit?

It’s exactly the same with your dreams.  If you’re unsure of what you want, you start to fumble and doubt yourself.   That doubt is a dream killer. Click here to read more…
