HOW IMPORTANT IS MENTAL DISCIPLINE?


We Have All Heard The Adage "Practice Makes Perfect".
This Applies To Mental Skills Training Too. But The Unique
Thing About Training The Mind Is That, Over A Period
Of Time The Mind Gets Conditioned To Think Along Particular
Lines, And Mental Preparation Comes To You Almost By Rote,
Automatically Without Having To Conciously Put Yourself In
A Mental Practice Mode. However, For You Mind To Reach A
Conditioned State, A Significant Amount Of Regular Mental
Preparation And Use Of Mind Techniques Is Essential. In Other
Words You Can Reach A Level Where Mental Skills Become A
Part Of Your Life, If You Employ Mental Skills Training
Regularly. If You Resort To Mental Preparation Just Before A
Match, And Not Follow Up Regularly, Its Effect On You Will
Be Temporary In Nature And Also Incomplete.
Consistency Is The Key!!

IS YOUR CHARACTER DEEP ENOUGH TO HANDLE SUCCESS?

Anybody Can Achieve Anything. Do You Believe That? I Do.
Those Who Succeed Are Those Who Walk Through The Door
Of Opportunity When It Swings Open. But What Is The Secret
To Getting Through The Door Of Opportunity? Being Outside
The Door When It Swings Open! You See, You Never Know
When The Door Of Opportunity Is Going To Open Wide.
For Some, The Big Break Comes Early In Life And For Others
Later On. But For All Of Those Who Become Successful, There
Is One Key Similarity: They Were Ready. And For Everyone
Who Was Ready, There Were Thousands More Who Weren't.
So, The Principle For Us Is: Be Ready!! Are Your Skills As Sharp
As They Could Be? Are They Enough So When Your Shot Comes
You Can Perform? Is Your Character Deep Enough To Handle
Success? Are You Working Hard To Position Yourself Now?
Your Door Will Open Someday. It Opens For Everyone.
When That Huge Door Of Opportunity Opens Up, Will You
Be Able To Walk Boldly Through It?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE THANKFUL?

Being Thankful Opens Us Up To Receiving All Kinds
Of Wonderful Blessings. When In A State Of Gratefullness
We Acknowledge Our True Selves & Radiate This Energy
To Others. What Does It Mean To Be Thankful? I'm Not
Talking About Being Polite After Someone's Opened The
Door For You. I'm Talking About Feeling Thankful For The
True Blessings In Your Life. "True Blessings" Mean The
Things In Your Life That Resonate Importance In Your
Life - The Things That Touch Your Core. You May Be
Wondering Why It's Important To Feel Thankful. Oprah
Talked About This Concept A Few Years Ago And She
Suggested Having A Thankfulness Journal. This Is A Great
Idea Because It Keeps Us Focused On The Positive In
Our Lives. It Helps Us See The Great Things We Have And Do,
And Puts Our Frustrations And Worries Into Perspective.
But Even If You Don't Have A Journal, You Can See The
Benefits Of Being Conscious Of Thankfulness - Again,
It Keeps Us Focused On The Great And Wonderful Things
In Our Lives. -Happy Thanksgiving 2010

MOVING PASSED YOUR FEAR

Often It's Easier To Not Do Something Because We
Fear Failure Or Rejection. We May Fear Failure When
Starting On A New Career-Path. And Rejection From Friends,
Family, And The People Around Us If We Fail. Or We
Might Be Afraid When Asking Someone Out. If You Look At
The Most Successful People You Quickly Notice That They
Have A Different Response To Failure Than The More
Common One. They Don't Take Failure Or Rejection That
Seriously. They Know It's Not The End Of The World If They
Fail. Instead They Look At Each Failure And See The Good
Part About: What They Can Learn From It And Improve Next
Time. They Have An Abundance-Mentality. You Have To
Constantly Work On Your Skills And Sharpen Them. See Failure
Or Rejection Not As Something Incredible Negative That Might
End Your Life If It Strikes. Work Weaknesses, Work Hard!!

WHAT YOU EAT IS WHAT COUNTS

Do You Really Know What You Are Eating Each Day? We
Often Snack And Eat More At Regular Meals Than We Realize.
To Get A Better Idea Of What You Are Eating On A Daily
Basis Keep A Food Journal For A Few Days. All You Need Is
A Notebook And A Pen. Write Down Everything You Eat And
Drink On A Given Day. It Is Also A Good Idea To Make Notes
About Any Emotions Related To What You Eat. For Example,
If You Had A Bad Day At The Office, And You Have 2 Slices
Of Cheesecake After You Get Home As A Result, Write It
Down. You'll Be Able To Analyze What Causes You To Choose
Unhealthy Foods And At What Times Of The Day You Are
Most Likely To Grab Unhealthy Foods. Recognizing What
Your Bad Eating Habits Are Is The First Step Toward
Correcting The Behavior.

The "Incompletes" Sometimes Add Up

Sometimes The "Incompletes" In Our Lives Can Add Up And
We Can Start To Feel Overwhelmed. There Are Big Incompletes --
Our Long - Held Dreams, Our Unpursued Passions -- And
Then There Are The Little Incompletes -- The Stuff We See
Everyday That Niggles At Us, The "To-Dos," The List Of Tasks That
We Really Want To Do.... Someday. You Don't Need Many Of These
Incompletes Before Everywhere You Look (Even In The Future)
You See Things You Haven't Done Instead Of Things You Have
Done. This Undermine Your Energy & Happiness.

PROSPERITY & WEALTH


If We Had No Winter, The Spring Would Not Be So Pleasant.
If We Did Not Sometimes Taste Adversity, Prosperity
Would Not Be So Welcome. If You Want To Attract More Money

Beliefs That Are What Form So Much Of Your Life Experiences,
You Want To Set Yourself Up With A Foundation Of Belief

GET OUT OF THE GYM & TRAIN TO PERFORM RATHER THAN FOR LOOKS

Navy Seal Training Is Considered To Be One Of The Most
Rigorous Periods Of Time A Young Man Can Face. Navy
Seals Are Expected To Be Able To Withstand A Tremendous
Amount Of Physical Strain, Be Able To Perform Day In And Day
Out In Combat Conditions, To Feel At Home On Sea Or Land, Not
To Mention Have Top Notch Weapon Training And Discipline.
If You Want To Train Like A Navy Seal, Get Out Of The Gym,
Train Your Body To Perform Rather Than To Look Fit, And
Really Push It. There Is No Other Way!

THE BEST QUESTION EVER!!

One Great Question Underlies Our Experience, Whether We
Think About It Or Not What Is The Purpose Of Life? From The
Moment Of Birth Every Human Being Wants Happiness And Does
Not Want Suffering. Neither Social Conditioning Nor Education
Nor Ideology Affects This. From The Very Core Of Our Being,
We Simply Desire Contentment. Therefore, It Is Important To
Discover What Will Bring About The Greatest Degree Of Happiness.
The Turning Point In The Process Of Growing Up Is When You
Discover The Core Of Strength Within You That Survives All Hurt.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPECTATIONS

In Short, If You Want To Become Successful You Must Set
Extraordinary Expectations For Yourself And What You Are
Capable Of. I'm Not Talking About Baby Goals Here - I'm Talking
About Goals And Expectations That Make You And Others Feel
Uncomfortable. Life Is Too Short To Be Negative And To Spend
Too Much Time Focusing On Why Something Isn't Going To
Work Or Why It Hasn't Worked In The Past. Think About
Our Greatest Successes. Chances Are That In The Moment Of
Your Greatest Success You Were In A State Of High Energy
And Focus - You Were Able To Fixate Narrowly On Your Outcome,
But At The Same Time You Were In A Positve State Of Mind
Such That If You Needed To Change On A Dime You Were
Ready And Willing - The Only Thing That Mattered Was The
Outcome Of Success.

OUR DEEPEST FEARS

It Is Our Light, Not Our Darkness, That Most Frightens Us.
Your Playing Small Does Not Serve The World. There Is Nothing
Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won't Feel
Insecure Around You. We Are All Meant To Shine As Children Do.
It's Not Just In Some Of Us; It Is In Everyone. And As We Let Our
Own Lights Shine, We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission
To Do The Same. As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear,
Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others.
