Fulfillment

A feeling of fulfillment is something we all seek. Here I would like to address this in a way that many of you already know at some level but which I feel is necessary to highlight.

If we look at the word “fulfillment” itself we find the concept of being “filled full”. I would like to show you that indeed this is literally what it means to be fulfilled.

If you wish, for a moment, think of something that makes you feel happy. Imagine this thing being in your life whenever you desire it. As you do this allow yourself to note how you begin to feel inside of yourself. Also notice where you feel these feelings.

Motivation for Life-What Would You Do If You Could Have A Do Over

“The only thing it takes 365 days to change is a year” - Hypnotherapist David Block

“If at any time you make a mistake and want to change your selection, press the star key on the telephone pad.” - AMC 20 Movie Theater recording

Both of the above quotes imply a radical shift in popular thinking about change. They imply that changes can be made quickly, and don’t have to take a long, long time.

I am constantly searching for the very best “change tools” I can find to help the people with whom I work. I look for tools that offer rapid and effective change, and meet at least three criteria:

Whenever You Are, Be There

One of the major reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being.

While we are home our thoughts are still absorbed with solving the challenges we face at the office. And when we are at the office we find ourselves worrying about problems at home.

We go through the day without really listening to what others are saying to us. We may be hearing the words, but we aren’t absorbing the message.

If today were the last of all days……..

In this article, I invite you to ask your self the question asked by Marilyn Scott in the popular jazz song “If Today were the Last of All Days.”

Here’s the question:

“If today were the last of all days, would you………….”:

start the business you have always wanted to

take that special trip you had always planned

heal an old hurt

forgive an old offense

visit someone who would love to see you

reconnect and catch up with an old friend

see a sight you have dreamed of seeing

Let Change Be Your Friend, Mentor, and Inspiration

People have a tendency of anticipating pending change on the assumption that it will be bad. Such focus on the negatives contribute to unnecessary fears of change, even when there is really not much, if anything, to fear. Sometimes that fear can be inflamed by self doubt; doubts of our own ability to deal with this new situation that is about to befall us.

Life is Worthwhile If You

(Excerpted from the Jim Rohn Two Day Weekend event - June 22 and 23, 2001)

1) First, life is worthwhile if you LEARN.

What you don’t know WILL hurt you. You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed. Life is worthwhile if you learn from your own experiences, negative and positive. We learn to do it right by first sometimes doing it wrong. We call that a positive negative. We also learn from other people’s experiences, both positive and negative. I’ve always said it is too bad failures don’t give seminars. We don’t want to pay them so they don’t tour around giving seminars. But the information would be very valuable – how someone who had it all, messed it up. Learning from other people’s experiences and mistakes.

4 Powerful Ways to Fire Up Your Motivation

It’s so difficult to go on when everything seems to fail, isn’t
it?  Are there times in your life when you really want to call
it “quits” because you just can’t see any good results from all
the hard work you’ve done?

Hold your horses!

Never ever think of giving up.  Winners never quit and quitters
never win.  Take all negative words out of your mental dictionary
and focus on the solutions with utmost conviction and patience.
The battle is never lost until you’ve abandon your vision.

Motivation - How To Design A Life

“Have you ever felt like you’ve become the worst possible version of yourself?” - Tom Hanks in “You’ve Got Mail”

Have you ever been relaxing at the movies, enjoying a nice lite movie, only to get blown away by a line said in passing?

That’s what happened recently as my wife and I watched “You’ve Got Mail” with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The couple are having an ongoing email courtship, exchanging messages in the wee hours of the night, when this question comes out of nowhere: “have you ever felt like you’ve become the worst possible version of yourself?”

Passions Of The Heart!

There are no better people to be around than those
who have a zest for life and a joy in their
hearts. Few as there may be, when you meet one you
just know it. There’s something about them that
draws you inward, some call it a persons,
“Persona”, I believe God would call it your,
“Passion.” Some say you are just born with that
inner balance and security that is so magnetic.

The Simple Life - A Reverse Truth

It has come to amuse me over recent years: the way we use the expression “The Simple Life”. I recall back in the 1970’s, in my 20’s, I had a yearning for having a smallholding in an idyllic setting, growing vegetables, plants and whatever took my fancy. Already by then, such a notion was regarded as wanting a return to the “simple life”.

Not many years later came a popular tv situation comedy in England called The Good Life. It made for a good comedy situation too: a well to do couple in a slightly upmarket and unjustifiably snobbish suburb of London, trying to scrape a living from growing vegetables and raising wildfowl in their modest sized garden. They had a yearning to return to the “simple life”, but within the comfort zone of suburbia.
