Thought of the Week |
"Security
is
mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children
of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the
long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or
nothing." - Helen Keller

The average cup of
coffee contains many different chemical components, none of which is
tasted in isolation but all of which come together as part of the
overall flavor. Bet you can't guess how
many! See

New Year, New
You... Really? (Part 4 of 4)
by
Richard Fenton &
Andrea Waltz
Over the last three weeks we wrote about how most New Year's
resolutions are not kept, and the reason for this is "Iceberg Beliefs"
(beliefs that lurk below the surface of our thinking). And we
asked you to do some homework on YOUR iceberg beliefs. Did you
do
it? Good! (We knew you would!) So, once you've identified your
iceberg beliefs, what do you do? The answer is a two-step process:
1) Understand that many of the things you used to believe turned out
not to be true. For example:
•
There are monsters under your bed (or your
closet!)
• There is nothing better than
_______ (fill in
the food you loved when you were 10).
• My parents know absolutely
everything!
• (Girls/Boys) are gross!
• If I can just make $XX,000 per
year,
everything will be perfect.
• And on and on and on!
Face it - as you grew up, you changed your mind about a LOT of things!
So why not change your mind about your limiting iceberg beliefs as well?
2) Which brings us to Step #2, which is to RE-WRITE your limiting
iceberg beliefs. For example:
Your
Iceberg Belief regarding...
...Failure:
"Failure means I'm doing something wrong."
Your
possible RE-WRITE: "Failure means I'm
making progress."
...Success:
"I
must be a success at all costs."
Your possible RE-WRITE: "I must give full
effort and the results are what they are."
...Life:
"Life should be fair."
Your possible RE-WRITE: "Life is not always
fair, but it's always full of possibilities."
...Exercise:
"Exercise is pain."
Your possible RE-WRITE: "Exercise is freedom
from pain."
...Money:
"Money is the root of all evil."
Your possible RE-WRITE: "Money makes
generosity possible."
...Selling:
"Selling is the art of twisting someone's arm until they say, YES."
Your possible RE-WRITE: "Selling is solving
other's problems."
...Living
Your
Dream: "Pursuing my
dreams is a waste of time - it's too
late for me."
Your possible
RE-WRITE: "My
dreams are the
purpose of my life."
...Retirement:
"Retirement is the reward for years of working in a job you hate."
Your possible RE-WRITE: "Retirement is for
people who aren't living their mission."
...Iceberg
Beliefs: "I know I
have subconscious beliefs that impact
my life, but so what? Everyone does!"
Your possible RE-WRITE: "My iceberg beliefs
govern my behavior, but I can re-write them if I so choose!"
We know what you're thinking: "But you didn't have my childhood. You
don't understand. My beliefs are too ingrained to change."
True -
we didn't have YOUR childhood - we had ours. And your iceberg
beliefs are probably deeply ingrained. But have you
considered
that your belief that you can't change your beliefs IS one of your
iceberg beliefs? (Try to wrap your mind around that one!)
And one more thing. We've come to an inescapable realization:
"It's never too late to have had a wonderful childhood." All you have
to do is re-write it. Cool, huh?

"My
goal was to do
three presentations per week, 12 a month, knowing that probably 11 of
them would say "No" and my goal was to sign up one person a month for
two years. I was going to sign up one person a month for two years, do
12 presentations a month, three a week on my lunches, every single
week. Regardless of, it didn't matter what anybody said to me, didn't
matter if they were negative or if they were angry or if they were
happy or if they were complacent or interested. I was going to do 12
presentations a month for two years, knowing that if I did that, I'd
probably sponsor 20 to 30 people. I signed up 19 people in two years.
My 19th person signed up a lady in New Mexico who led me to over 12,000
distributors, and over 40,000 customers, and it made me my first
million dollars." - Jordan Adler, author, Beach
