OBC – NO FAILURE ZONE
OBC are opinions, beliefs, and convictions. The power of creation and destruction in three little letters. Unless it is a new belief, it is an old belief, something that happened in the past to a younger, sometimes much, much younger you. Some memories are vivid and others decay with time. Ever talk with a friend […]
Speaking in general? – NO FAILURE ZONE
Speaking in general. Making generalizations. These are really just beliefs about what may cause pain or pleasure, and we know how the brain is always working to avoid pain. I wrestled in high school for one season. I was a 105 pound freshman, about 5’6” and skinny. After the humiliation of being tied in a […]
Why do you do what you do? – NO FAILURE ZONE
Great question. Why do criminals steal? What’s the belief? Why do people exercise? What’s the belief? Why do people worship? What’s the belief? Why do people complain? What’s the belief? Have you answered the great question yet? The answer is it is all about their beliefs. What are some of your beliefs? Which beliefs empower […]
Events and Circumstances – NO FAILURE ZONE
Being unhappy in the moment is very much tied to gratitude. And whether or not you feel grateful will depend upon your past. If you have assigned disempowering meanings to the events and circumstances of your past then they will poison your present. The belief to adopt is that these things happened for you to […]
Visualization and Certainty – NO FAILURE ZONE
Napolean Hill used to say Whatever the mind of man can Conceive and Believe, it can Achieve. The ABCs in reverse order. When I was a high school and college athlete, a triple jumper, I had a ritual of stretching and warming up. And during that ritual I always imagined hitting the “board” or stripe […]
Believe it or not? – NO FAILURE ZONE
Edmund Spenser wrote the Faerie Queen. He also said “it is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor”. In other words what you believe has a lot of power over what your outcomes will be. What would happen if you believed “I learn things easily” or “that […]
Your Modalities – NO FAILURE ZONE
Modalities? Yes, VAK – visual, auditory, kinesthetics. Your words will clue you as to your preference. Do you have to see it, hear it, or feel it? The words are in turn tied to feelings. You have a BRIGHT outlook – V (exciting feeling) My boss is really cool – K (good feeling) Your yard […]
Empowering Questions – NO FAILURE ZONE
One great question can change the entire trajectory of your life. Take a kid that shop lifts from a store and gets caught. The cops come, cuff her and take her to jail. Soon the parents are called and have to come post bail. They are shocked by how much. And all because the kid […]
Q & A – NO FAILURE ZONE
The brain asks questions. Don’t believe me? You just questioned the statement I made. How’d he know that? See you did it again. My brain just asked what the next thought would be. If your brain is always asking questions, then that implies it is searching for answers. And it always wants the answers to […]
Be Tricky – NO FAILURE ZONE
There are a few mornings like today when I don’t want to go into the ice cold garage and do my morning weight training. My mind comes up with all kinds of excuses: you are so tired, you should sleep another hour, … it’s subconsciously trying to avoid the pain. It never tells me how […]
