The Law of Distraction

We live in an era where we are constantly bombarded by information, advertising and noise through a plethora of stimuli. Sadly those that have given up television or boast about getting rid of cable aren’t so special anymore; simply because you take in media today through a handheld device, a tablet device or a desktop device that has simply replaced the television. We are constantly being taken off task, ever being distracted from the daily things that will surely get us to where we want to go.

You don’t need to be at home on the couch to disengage from the world – you simply need to pick up your phone and browse media. Because of this coupled with zero focus on [and] obsession with 2017 goals we have the perfect recipe for why almost everybody does almost enough but not quite enough to succeed.

Someone once told me that your thoughts become your words, your repeated words become your actions, your repeated actions become your habits and your repeated habits form your character which will ultimately determine where you end up in life.

What are we allowing to dominate our thoughts? For most, isn’t it our problems? And do you think most people spend their time obsessing over solutions to their problems or further stressing and trying to escape them?

I’ll save the writing down goals daily multiple times a day and the effect it has for another article but here’s a critical thinking question I’ve been drilling my team with…

How many times did I touch my phone today for something other than creating my dream life?

What if every time you touched your phone you wrote down your top 3 goals for 2017?

Do you think repeatedly doing it would have an effect on your thoughts, words, actions and habits?

Either we are in control of us or we are victims of the circumstances around us. Ether we dominate our thoughts with our goals or we are robbed of our dream life by the Law of Distraction.

The quality of your life is inversely proportional to the number of distractions you have in your life. ~ Anil Gupta

Can You Float Like A Butterfly?

---

Have you ever been in a training session with a group of people and had someone ask either an annoying or tough question? Almost when you didn’t need it?

Rather than be upset or get annoyed take a different approach; thank them for the question.

I always admired Mohammed Ali for his ability to be able to move and flow when someone threw a punch at him, he moved with them in reverse keeping their glove infront of his face at the same distance. He could back away like nobody could. He was ready for every punch and expected it. He kept it where he could see it and always dealt the blow using their punch to his advantage either by tiring them out or hitting them when they we’re exposed.

Thank them for the question. You should have been ready for it. If they hadn’t asked it, they would have been thinking about it, and you can bet so were others.

The fact that they asked it and threw the punch out there they’ve handed it to you to deal with and this is your moment to shine. To show no fear and keep it in front of your face and deal with it flawlessly.

If you cant answer the question in a public setting you shouldn’t be training. Get yourself to a position where you can answer in public every time flawlessly and you will show strength of character, and wow you group beyond belief. You do that you can do anything. You fold or fail in public why would anyone one follow you or listen to you?

They just did you the biggest favour, whether you crush it or you flop you had to be real with yourself and your abilities. Always take the opportunity to float like a butterfly in public and show no fear in the face of those questions, because if you cant handle it, you shouldn’t be in the ring. Be ready to sting like a bee – not to flaunt it in their face but with elegance to show that this is not your first fight and you’ve prepared for this fight, and every punch your entire life.

Wow them and thank the guy or gal for giving you the opportunity to shine in public and raise your status to the next level!

God love you!
Be Great!

Credit Where It’s Due

Continuing beyond my GC post – assuming we are obsessed with creating our ultimate selves, achieving our fullest potential… can we or rather should we take credit for it?

After all, weren’t we the ones who dreamt it up in the first place, persevered and suffered terrible obstacles to make our life’s greatest ambitions a reality? Can we even take credit for the planting of the seed before it has burst forth producing fruit?

Firstly <apart from God we can do nothing!>
It was Himself who put our dreams there in the first place, for we didn’t create ourselves nor give ourselves the capacity to do anything. We are a gift. A <didn’t need to be> but for Love, we be <we exist>. Considering all that is fallen within us, and remembering that if but for a moment He should cease to think of us – we would cease to be or ever have been… why should we even entertain the thought of taking credit for anything? And if the dreams are there (which if you are a human being they certainly are) how dare we deny them, suppress them and not take them as opportunities from our Blessed Lord to participate in creation through sub-creation?

Secondly <dare we not take our goals to our Blessed Lord?>
If they came from Him, why shouldn’t we go to Him and say to Him “this is on my heart… Lord what would you have me do? I am not afraid of the glory… I know in my fallen nature I would claim it for my own and bathe in it. But Your grace Lord perfects nature and so from the beginning through the BVM I give up the right of disposing all my spiritual and physical accomplishments for Your glory that she (BVM) would dispose them in the interests of Thy SH.” The question isn’t our perfection – that is a demand from our blessed Lord. The question is how does He want to bring this about and in what manner?

The pursuit of excellence for God’s sake builds in us virtue, increases grace and gives us opportunities to merit. There is a burning desire (I truly believe suppressed by most of us) to be great and if we pursue it for His sake, perhaps we will gain something greater still in the end.

No matter how great in the world I become, and I do plan on achieving the best version of me – my absolute fullest potential –  my prayer is that my life externally and internally points to God. I wish all my successes to be a sign pointing back at God and  pointing toward Him. Back, to give Him all the credit because He deserves it for up to this point in my life I’ve stolen my fair share of His glory and taken the credit. And forward, like a self fulfilling prophecy, pointing toward Him who I am determined to possess, know and love, just as He loves Himself, in eternity.

God Love You!

Unwavering Pursuit of Your Dreams

Have you ever wondered why you dream the kind of dreams you dream? We are the only creatures on the planet to dream the kind of dreams that we dream about. A dog or cat can dream about wanting more food but they certainly cannot dream about being a person of significance or leaving this world better than when they first arrived.

Living the Dream

We human beings are born into this world with dreams of a certain kind. This is marvellous and scary all in one because if we study ourselves we’d find ALL people actually make REAL the things they dream of; albeit MOST people do so unintentionally. Existing in an endless Nightmare; that is reality for most people in their lives but first in their mind. Talk about a drain on the soul and spirit! The Body ALWAYS follows the Mind! Time and time again we manifest the thoughts we hold in our mind but sadly how few consciously think DAILY about where they are going and how AWESOME their life is CAN be and HOW they can make it a reality.

I’m proof that it does not need to be this way; things CAN change IF we want them to. It’s not easy but it is worth it. I must have said to my wife at least 10 times while we were on that yacht “Can you believe that this IS our life?” – I’m so glad I made a decision to change and grow to win.

How? By Replacing and reprogramming the stinking thinking that brought about the nightmare in the first place!

Put pen to paper daily and write out what you want your life to look like and who you want to be. Then read it aloud 2 times a day. Visualize it. Obsess over it! Hold it in your mind as often as you can for as long as you can. THEN GO WORK YOUR HINEY OFF TO GET IT! Be open to the opportunities as and when they come AND make sure you taste your dreams from time to time as a reward for the hard work you’ve put in. This is what it takes.

TRUST ME ON THIS… YOU BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF WHILE IN UNWAVERING PURSUIT OF YOUR DREAMS.

Dream great Dreams! Work hard to build them! Stop Existing and Start Living wonderful moments with your family! Don’t stop if you’re tired, stop when you’re finished. It’s worth it!
