‘The Secret’ What Secret? – Self Help Myths Part1

There are a lot of self help gurus, motivational speakers and products online and off selling their ‘secret of life formulas’ for the millions of people seeking solutions to life’s myriad of personal, financial, social, spiritual challenges and obstacles. The book and DVD ‘the secret’ has sold millions of copies worldwide offering another ‘secret to success formula’ to a hungry audience seeking answers to the many questions life poses. Yet, in reality it is simply another contribution to the self help hippie movement in which authors make millions teaching theories which are either incomplete or don’t work. The age old coveted secret it claims to have revealed to the world is that ‘Thoughts create things & what you focus on becomes reality’!

The idea that what you focus on in your mind can become reality is no great secret! The DVD and book ‘the secret’ haven’t revealed anything that popular religions and philosophies such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Mystic schools have taught to their devotees for centuries! The difference is that these ancient systems teach what ‘the secret’ seems to miss, is that ‘positive focus coupled with continuous action and devotion’ is the secret to success. Even children unconsciously understand that the secret to success is to ‘start, learn from mistakes, and continue until they achieve their goal. Take walking or talking for example; children will make thousands of mistakes and face thousands of obstacles and continue to learn and perfect until they master how to walk or talk. They do not simply sit and will to walk or talk in the hope that one day they may get up a walk or talk miraculously! They act continuously, diligently with the confidence that they can achieve. Now, the children’s success secret works! The billions of people around the world who speak and walk include you and are proof of the efficacy of this ancient formula. What is a greater source of reference than our own experience! However, most of spent so much time looking for solutions from motivational speakers, self help gurus and others that we forget that many of the solutions that we are seeking are already within us. If we simply take the time to focus on our successes and not some one else’s sensationalised secrets then perhaps many of others would not end up being disappointed by another self help myth/secret. The only real secret in life is your inner self power! Study your own successes and see what the key ingredients were that made you successful at that point in time. If you can do that you will have your own personal proven model of success which is greater than any self help gurus ‘secret’. Find your inner power and the real secret of your success!

Instant Gratification - The natural drug addiction

How many of you are seeking the quick fix to life's challenges and obstacles? How many of you are looking for a instant cure to your finacial or social ailments. I guess most of us are! Self help gurus earn millions selling us instant cures. The thing is that the vast majority don't work. Why? Our lives are shaped by time! We must grow. We are not born as strong, healthy, fit adults. We are born as needy, hungry and fragile children. We struggle to enter the world so should we think that we won't have to struggle now. It is a fantasy to buy into the myth that you can have everything tomorrow if you simply close your eyes and wish hard enough for it or follow some bogus secret that half the planet has been sold. It is absolutely nonsense. Yet as seekers of instant gratification we all fall for the promises of immediate solutions or instant pleasure which doesn't exist in reality. The vast majority of highly successful people have worked damn hard to achieve the level of success that they now enjoy. They are probably ten more focused and determined their goals than most of us claim to be. They work day and night as slaves to their dreams not allowing time or obstacles to block their progress. This is the real truth that our success takes alot of work and discipline. Our success will not be found in quick fix formulas or get rich schemes. If that was so we would all be successful. Instant gratification is instant! It has a short shelf life and then back to reality. We have to build strong foundations before we can achieve any ounce of success whether it is wealth creation, relationships, spirituality it takes time. So beware of your desire for instant gratification as it can cause you to waste more time in the quest to fulfill it than it can helping you to attain success. Instant gratification is that thing which hinders much of mankinds progress will you continue to allow it to hinder you.

Motivational Poem - Beware of Complacency

2008-01-02T06:44:00.000-08:00

The Little Motivational Poem with a lot of Motivation – Complacency

Beware of the curse of complacency,
It kills the best of relationships,
Destroys the greatest of ambition,
Cripples the most proactive of individuals,
Eradicates passion
Inspires the greatest excuses,
Reduces your wealth and riches,
Weakens a devoted soul
Makes flaccid strong muscles
Blunts the blade of intellect
Chills a warm heart
Beware of the curse of complacency,
Complacency the medusa,
Whose head you must severe,
Before her power turns you to stone

Focus on one thing at a time become a success overnight

2007-12-27T14:39:00.000-08:00

I don’t know about you but if you are anything like me and I know there are a lot people out there are then you probably come up with three of four great business ideas per day. Or you are one of those individuals who has a multiple of interests and not enough time in the day even without the day job to do all the things which interest you. It is great to have a number of interests and to have stream of profit making ideas come to you daily if you have a clear sense of focus! However, many of us do not. For many years, I was as so many other people out there wondering in the world of my ideas and interests attempting do everything and achieving nothing. I knew a lot about many things but was going nowhere fast with my wealth of snippets of information. Until one day when I sat down and thought something is wrong. I looked at those who were successful and notice that the vast majority were successful because ‘they focused on thing at time’ they focused on a project until they finished it and then improve upon it and developed it. Many business that offered numerous services and products were not offering necessarily different services or products from the original they were offering modified forms.

The authors of the original Chicken Soup for the soul for example went on to produce a whole range of chicken soup books such as chicken soup for the teenage soul, chicken soup for the African American soul and so many more. They didn’t actually create a different product just produced new content for a particular group based on the original model. As soon as I understood this I began to prioritise my projects with the most important one as the one that I focus most attention. In three months I had produced my first rough draft. A few months later I had edited and prepared the book to be published and began on my next project related to the first book. Focusing on one thing at a time had allowed me to achieve far more than I ever could have attempting to follow various interests and ideas as I had done in the past. I also came to appreciate how I could benefit from the Chicken Soup model to create multiple products all following the original concept yet different. My experience and observations have taught me that if you want series success in your life focus on one thing at time and don’t stop until you have completed it. This is applicable to business, hobbies, education and relationships. So if you are person with multiple ideas and interests take the time now to decide what idea or project is most important to you and focus on that until you have completed it. You will amaze yourself at how quickly you can accomplish a significant goal in a short period of time with razor sharp focus.

This Might Motivate You - How to be a leader!

2007-12-27T13:12:00.000-08:00

Too many of us are waiting for someone to save our souls, lead us in the right direction, tell us what to do as we are too lazy or fearful of leading our selves. People used to say me as a child ‘there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians’ I actually disagree now I believe there are too many Indians and not enough chiefs! We need to become the chiefs in our own lives if we want more success. While we wait for someone to come and save us we could have used that time to save ourselves. How many of you are hoping that the perfect teacher will appear to guide you? Well folks you may be waiting for ever. A word of advice if I were you I would seek to be the perfect teacher and take charge of my own life. Who is the best person to lead you but you! There is powerful sense of confidence and self empowerment for those who choose to take charge of their own lives and lead from the front. Leaders are the pioneers, the geniuses, the inventors, the politicians, the great artists, writers, lecturers and scientists.

Those who choose to be leaders lead all those who choose to be followers and make more money, achieve more success, gain more respect and tend to live far more fulfilled life. Leaders are remembered and serve as models for others. Followers are not remembered! Think about it, people remember the leaders of armies such as Alexander the great, Richard the Lion Heart, Babur, Genghis Khan not their regular soldiers who were the real heroes! Who would you rather be? Start taking charge of your life and lead from the front instead of following from the back it is a lot clearer at the front of the pack! You will appreciate the decision in sooner than you think! To your success!

This might motivate you - when caring too much kills

2007-12-27T13:08:00.000-08:00

There are some of us on this planet who care so much that we are killing ourselves. We care so much about what other people think that we freeze ourselves into a state of immobility. We have become slaves to our internal negative voices that give us more excuses than Donald Trump’s bank account that create illusions of reality that doesn’t exist. We stop doing the things our heart desires out of fear of what others might think or say. We care if people think we are bad dancers in a nightclub even though we don’t know them and they are not dancing themselves. We care that we will appear stupid if we say something we strongly believe in because those around us are too ignorant to understand. We care that we will be rejected by others if we choose to act different from masses and their cattle mentality. We care so much that we lose ourselves in the world of our negative voices. Instead of using our minds to motivate, inspire us and celebrate our strengths we allow them to dictate to us like crazed dictator.

It is crazy that we allow our assumptions of other people’s thoughts to limit and restrict our dreams. So what if you are not a good dance. If you favourite track is playing dance until your heart delights. Who cares if people are too ignorant to appreciate your pearls of wisdom someone out there will. To hell with the cattle mentality! The truth most people who follow the masses wish they could be different but are stopped as ‘they care too much about what others think’. If I cared about what people thought you wouldn’t be reading this article. I love to write even though I may not be the world’s greatest yet it I don’t let that stop me from doing it. I doing what I love and hopefully helping others in the process. I don’t care what some fearful, ‘care too much’ individual thinks about my work. If you look at the successful, happiest, most confident people compared to the masses they care little about the assumed thoughts of others. They are too busy doing the things that make them happy and grow rather than focusing on the assumed negative thoughts of others. If care so much about thoughts of others that it is having negative effect on others start focusing on yourself and do the things that make you happy! Care about you!

This Might Motivate You - What is Your Legacy?

2007-12-27T12:52:00.001-08:00

This Might Motivate You - What is and will be your Legacy?

How do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be remembered as an upright, intelligent, wise person or contributor to human development? What do you want leave behind? Do you want to leave a book of wise quotes, poems, stories others can learn from, or simple a personal history of your life for those in the future to learn about your era in history? Many of us possess a wealth of wisdom and experience that dies with us which could have served as a beacon of light for those who will come after us. Many wise parents die without leaving their wealth of wisdom for their grandchildren from which to learn. Many of us know little about our great grandparents as insufficient information was left. The reality is that one day we will be great grandparents may not be remembered also if we don’t leave sufficient information. This is legacy!

Another side of legacy is that it makes us conscious of current actions and behaviours. If you want your children have a good role model then you must leave a legacy of a good role model. If you want to leave a legacy of action and diligence then you must embody that. I want to show my children that they can be whatever they want to be through my legacy. I want to show them that they can live their dreams if they set clear goals, are tenacious and determined. I want them to understand that those who are proactive and bold go the furthest in life. I want to show others through my actions, workshops, materials how to improve their quality life with simple steps. It is sad to see so many people unconscious of the power of the legacy they are leaving. I see men who womanise and disrespect women leaving a legacy of mistrust, disrespect and anger amongst their children. They act as if their negative behaviour will not have a negative result in the future. I see parents who spend little quality time with their children leaving them to legacy of modern television and gangster rap! They seem to care little about tomorrow’s results of today’s actions.

The ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Indians, Amerindians, Iranians understood the power of legacy and left us beautiful buildings, arts, writing, philosophies and literature. Do you want to be remembered as can doer or a cannot doer? Do you want to be remembered as someone whose example from whom one can learn or deride? Many problems in today’s modern society are a result in part of the negative legacy left by those who came before us. The problems our grandchildren may face may be a result of the legacy we leave. What will you leave? How do you want to be remembered? Will your grandchildren even know who you are? Remember the power of legacy!
