Change Thorns into Flowers
If you had to write an annual appraisal on yourself how would you describe yourself? ? Are you a mental sprinter who sees things quickly and easily? Do you react to things in a flash? Are you capable of making quick decisions? ? Do you find yourself watching others and saying to yourself, I could do that so much quicker? ? Do you find yourself taking on more work because you felt it was easier and quicker for you to do it? Do you feel that you waste so much time waiting for others to complete work? ? Do you feel irritable inside? Do you get frustrated because others don't seem to understand what you are saying and where you are going? ? Do you find you always want to hurry things up? Do you feel more comfortable when things are concluded rather than left waiting? ? Do you find yourself running out of patience with partner, children, colleagues because they seem to take more time or appear to lack concentration and go off on 'stupid' tangents which have little or no relevance to the project? ? Are you the alert, quick acting person who is known as the achiever? ? Are you that person who is good at developing ideas and keeping them on track? If you own up to a couple or more of these traits and feel really irritable and impatient with yourself and those around you. If you feel that you are always clock watching. If you feel and act like a bear with a sore head more often than not. If you find yourself getting into unnecessary arguments with your partner and children as well as in work then stop for a moment. The negative part of your makeup has taken you over. You are operating from your weaknesses rather than your strengths. This is not your natural state. This is learned behaviour. You have learned to become a thorn in the belief that this behaviour will protect you. You prick people. You make people irritated and eventually ruin their performance.And people keep away from you. But all is not lost. You can find and wake up the natural you. How? 1. Spend time on your own and remember your natural positive side: inside every impatient person is a patient, gentle one waiting to get out. inside every impatient person is a person who loves working with others and getting the best out of them. inside ever impatient person is a person who loves to involve others in tasks. 2. Stop looking back. What has happened has happened it's all part of the drama of life and cannot be changed. Don't waste your time and energy, you can't change the situation. Looking back is just another learned behaviour it's not natural. 3. Focus on NOW. Look at your thoughts and think about what you want to achieve. The only thing you can control is your thoughts so keep them focussed on what you want. Keep them focussed on the task ahead. 4. Mix with people who want to succeed. Keep a distance from dream stealers. Keep away from people who spend their lives telling others why things cannot happen. When you follow this method you will change. You will be seen you for what you naturally are; a positive, popular, sought-after, powerful, human being. Instead of a thorn that is always pricking people you will return to your natural state; a flower. People like flowers. People like to have flowers around them. People like the wonder of flowers. People like the magic. People like the energy, the life force, the uncontrollable power. People love being around natural things. People are amazed at how flowers grow and survive in the most unlikely situations. When you are natural and using your natural strengths people approach you and want to be with you. The skills you have of alertness, quick thinking and a quick independent mind are key skills in this world. When you are stressed you tend to go it alone. But when you are working from your natural talents you are a gifted team worker. Just give yourself time to work from your strengths rather than your weakness.

Will You Be Part of the Bigger Picture? With all the media attention you've probably become aware that there is something huge going on in the world, but are you part of this bigger picture? The Three Pillars of Life We all have the power to change our lives. What differentiates between those who take the action to change and those who just sit on the sidelines are three basic human endowments. These three if understood and practiced have the power to initiate change within us. Lets take a look at them individually. Why Character and Integrity Are So Important It's been said that character is defined by what you do when you think no one is watching. What an illuminating concept that is. You Can?t Seek for Change and Control at the Same Time I saw a coaching client recently who wanted to get right down to business and plan out her new, bold life. She wasn't sure what that life was, but she wanted to map it out, pin it down, and make it happen. She looked at me with exhausted eyes and silently begged me for light. I wanted to tell her, "Put down your organizer and step into chaos." But she may have smacked me with that eight pound black leather daytimer, so I chose another way to suggest that she let go of the reins. The life that you can control is a small, tired, and desperate life. If you want to know a great big ease in your life, you can't drive the bus. Your soul drives that bus. And your soul has different definitions of direction and progress. Coping As A Caregiver Few people are prepared for the responsibilities and tasks involved in caring for loved ones who are ill, elderly, or disabled. The success of the relationship between you and your loved one depends on several factors. One of the most important is how well you take care of yourself, empowering yourself to be there for the person you are caring for. Let's look first at what causes the stress in such a relationship, and then we will explore some ways to care for yourself as you care for another. The Top 10 Roadblocks to Attracting Prosperity and what We can Do About Them! If it were easy, everyone would do IT; everyone would have IT. The Magic of Breathing So, what is magic? Is it an illusion or is it real? The Webster's dictionary describes magic as "The art of producing affects by superhuman means; Any mysterious power, ex: the magic of love. Producing extraordinary results, as if by magic". Miracles are made from the same stuff as magic. They defy explanation by the rational logical mind. Be Grateful for Gratitude In Twelve Step meetings, it's traditional to groan when someone says, "Let's have a gratitude meeting." People don't like to talk or think about what they're grateful for. It's not in our nature. We're more tuned to what's going wrong than what's going right. We can't help it. The cave men who sat around and admired how white the teeth on the saber toothed tiger were, didn't last long enough to reproduce. The ones who realized those teeth were a bad thing are our ancestors, so to speak. Paradigm Shift Good Morning! It's the Island outlaw here again. You know after my little tirade yesterday about Integrity and ethical behavior I felt compelled to speak on the subject of the paradigm shift in wealth consiousness. Do You Have Tickets To Your Dream Theater? I'd like you to do an exercise with me. Universal Law Series - the Law of Cause & Effect This is the third of seven articles in our continuing series on Universal Law. The focus of this article is the Law of Cause & Effect.

How to Better Improve Your Life Through the Power of Change I am a physicist by education, and a practical business entrepreneur by profession ? two quite different fields.

How to Increase Your Income Significantly I would like you to give your full attention to this writing, because what you about to read will transform your life and circumstances significantly. If there is distraction around you, get rid of it before you even read this article. Transformational Counseling - Part One Transformational Counseling is a process of assisting others to transform their lives. Transformational Counseling is a process of assisting others in their reinventing themselves, of creating a life that they love and living it powerfully. Transformational Counseling is a process of creating a space for others to get present to or become aware of their self limiting belief, to create or invent a possibility for themselves and their life that could not have existed before and to learn how to be in their possibilities as opposed to being that which has always stopped them in the past. Right Thinking Nothing ever happens by chance. Everything, good or bad, that comes into our lives is a result of the thoughts we have engaged in, or by what God has ordained to get our attention. Perception Is Reality "We think, therefore we are." What You Habitually Think Becomes Attracted to You Are you frustrated with a certain area of your life? Want to make a change? You can change it as soon as you decide to change it. What to Do When Your Spouse or Your Friends are Negative? This year (2004), I've completed over 64 seminars.
