Questions? They are the Answer! – NO FAILURE ZONE
Albert Einstein wrote a few things and not in this order: “Never lose a holy curiosity”, and that “curiosity has its own reason for existence”, and “the important thing is not to stop questioning”. Questions provide the means to navigate any challenge or obstacle. And so I say that we must ask better questions. Questions […]
What’s the MIXUP? – NO FAILURE ZONE
Yesterday’s blog pointed out mixed associations. Now let’s spell them out, literally. We will use a BEN Franklin inventory. Grab a piece, draw a line down the middle. Pick the area of your life where you are stuck because of mixed associations (feelings, emotions). Could be finances, relationship, work, kids, school, health, whatever, who ever, […]
Be Realistic? Nonsense! – NO FAILURE ZONE
For me I have come to believe that with being realistic there is some fear, some past experience, that was perceived as, and is remembered as being painful. It is for this reason today that I will pause and say “Why not?” Or “What is there to lose?” Or “What is the worst thing that […]
Use the Power of Conviction – NO FAILURE ZONE
A few useful convictions for you. Notice the passion and the ”absolute language”. 1. I can take this and a little bit more 2. I can always find a way to turn things around 3. I will never allow myself to become overweight 4. I will never allow myself to become out of shape 5. […]
Convictions- NO FAILURE ZONE
Convictions. These are beliefs that have extreme emotional attachments. It would take something even more extreme to change the belief. The conviction is intensely entwined with our nervous system, physical, emotional and spiritual well being. Disempowering Convictions can originate from upbringing, or a traumatic event. Conversely, an enlightening event can bring a new conviction and […]
The Power of Certainty – NO FAILURE ZONE
A belief has the power of certainty behind it. Without the element of certainty a belief would just be a hypothesis, a mere idea or supposition. We all can get certainty about some idea from a past experience. Like if I hold my hand above a flame I will get burned. Your brain will remember […]
Meaningful, Meaningless – NO FAILURE ZONE
You get to assign what is meaningful and what is meaningless. Often the meanings we assign are based upon beliefs that we formed a long, long time ago, or upon past experiences. The important thing to notice is whether we have assigned something as being painful or pleasurable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with questioning […]
Why you do that like you do? – NO FAILURE ZONE
Why do you do that like you do? Because you have an opinion, a belief, or conviction about the subject perhaps even a value or set of values. This system we have will govern our emotions, which in turn will influence our decisions and resultant actions, and hence our destiny. What are we to do? […]
Life Messages – NO FAILURE ZONE
Many times people will blame events or an event that they have experienced for the ways their lives have turned out. This can be true based on the meaning they have assigned associated with the event. More certain is that the decisions that we make will determine our destination. We cannot do much about the […]
The Power of Beliefs
Limiting beliefs, these are to be avoided at all costs. They will defeat you before you even start. Feelings of hopelessness and self doubt are just that – feelings. Coaches know how to extract well beyond what the individual thinks can be delivered. They coordinate the building of a mindset with the building of the […]
