Where does your energy come from? If you reply: “From my thoughts”, you are correct, for every thought you have requires a decision that needs to be made. In turn, your consistent decision-making will lead to actions that need to be taken. These actions then lead to the habits you carry out which form your character/identity until finally, your DESTINY has been created. It all begins with your thoughts.

Another question: are you your thoughts or are your thoughts you? Think about it! Which one comes first? They are basically in equilibrium.

Your thoughts have the very pronounced ability to affect your state. If, for example, you are having depressed thoughts, you are putting yourself in a depressed state. The opposite is also true: when you are in a happy state, you will think happy thoughts and you will be in the best position to make improved decisions. (more…)

If you want to be happy and successful, there are eight words in the English language that you must avoid at all costs. Each of them has the power to destroy your dreams, and lead you into unnecessary suffering, disappointment, and hopelessness.

I have spent many years of my life as a therapist and life coach listening to people talk about their lives, why they are unhappy, why success always seems to sit just a few inches beyond their grasp, and why the relationships they have with those around them always seem to be so filled with disappointment and conflict.

Consider this; you have approximately two million bits of information coming into your mind every second. Out of that total, we tend to filter through the content that we would like to focus on. We do this by using our unconscious filters in our mind. Some of the filters are our Belief Systems, our Values, our language and our memories to name a few. Once the information streams through our filters, it is broken down to approximately 130 bits of information per second. This relates to approximately 7 chunks of information per second.

We then derive a meaning from the event based on our internal representation system, which consists of the following representations:

Visual -Pictures- the way we see things.
Auditory - Sounds- the way we hear things.
Kinaesthetic -Feelings- the way we feel things
Olfactory -Smells- the way we smell things
Gustatory -Tastes- the way we taste things. (more…)

You will be bound to get depressed if you prefer to be a loner at your office since you have allocated little time to foster good relationship with others.

Do Not Selfishly Refuse To Share Your Knowledge

It is not encouraged to be selfish about sharing your capabilities, skills, knowledge and experiences with others.

If you are serious about being an entrepreneur, you need to get serious about your mindset.

In fact, if you asked anyone who is really successful at anything including sports, business, performing or anything that requires serious concentration and focus, and almost without exception these people would tell you that the most important ingredient anyone has to have is the right mindset; in other words, you literally have to be programmed to succeed.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? Problem is that finding ways to manage that re-programming is something that is beyond the common understanding of most people.

However, the truth is that there are many easy and accessible methods you can use to develop your mindset and turn yourself into a real entrepreneur, one that constantly achieves business success, while people around them fail at their chosen business. (more…)
