Attracting Wealth

The Universe doesn't owe us anything. Yet, there are many people who believe they should be handed a silver... oh no, forget silver... a platinum platter with a fabulous life, brimming over with wealth and success, without having to do anything to earn it. May I strongly suggest that you read Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" to know exactly what steps you must take to change this thought pattern.

It's time to wake up and smell the roses my friend! There's no nice, easy way to say this. And chances are if you don't already know the truth, you're not going to like it. So, here it is .... the absolute truth:

You Reap what you Sow. You get what you give. And for that, the only person to blame for your past, present and future success or failure, joy or unhappiness is how you dealt with each past situation.

The only person to blame for the life you have today is the person you see in the mirror every morning.

We all know about the "Blame Game". Most of us have played it at one time or another. There are some people who could win a gold medal in the Olympics if the "Blame Game" was an event.

You know them. You see them every day. Their lack of anything is never their fault. The person who causes misery or failure is always someone else.

If they didn't get the great job, it's not because they did or didn't do anything. It's the interviewer's fault. They were out to get them.

The bank re-possessed their house or car? Not their fault. How can they be expected to make all of those payments on time? The loan officer....the bank.... God is out to get them!

If the relationship didn't work out, it's not their fault. It's the other person's fault. The other person was just using them. They had nothing to do with it.

And I'm not saying we can control everything that happens to us. There are terrible crimes ... mugging, rape, assault, murder, etc. committed every day. These horrible events are completely beyond our control. Those are not things I'm referring too.

When it's all said and done, we are the reason for our successes and failures. It's time for YOU to take responsibility for YOUR life, no matter the condition.

Be Passionately on Purpose about Your Right Livelihood.


THESE ARE STEPS YOU CAN TAKE RIGHT AWAY to CORRECT the SITUATION:


Watch your language. Words have power. Use your power wisely. Use your power to bring success and light into your life. Use it to stamp out failure and darkness around you.

Consciously be aware of every word coming out of your mouth. In other words: Think before you speak.

When someone asks a question, pause for at least five seconds before you answer them. (Count to five in your head if you have to.) Not only will it let them know you're listening, those five seconds will allow you to process what you've just heard, censor any negativity or blame about to come out of your mouth and create something positive to say instead.

If you accidentally say something negative or play the "Blame Game", correct yourself immediately.... verbally. You have put the words out into the Universe, so you must put the correction out into the Universe too.

Example: When you're having a conversation with a co-worker about a raise you didn't receive and you say, "No, I didn't get the raise. I work my fingers to the bone. My boss is trying to keep me down". Immediately change your tune and take responsibility and show initiative:
"I haven't yet received my raise. Maybe it was a misunderstanding that stopped me from getting a pay increase, or perhaps my boss needs to identify how I need to improve in my job performance to deserve a raise."

A negative, blaming attitude will get you nowhere.

In addition to being conscious of your language, I want you to keep track of (in a journal or notebook) the instances you're tempted to say (and actually speak) negative things or put the blame on someone else for misfortunes. You will be amazed at the number of entries you have at the end of the week.

Language is a powerful tool... practice using it wisely.
Did my worrying give me control over the outcome of the situation?
Would the outcome of the situation have happened whether I worried or not?
(Often we need to see things in writing to accept them.)

No matter how you have dwelt on things in the past, the outcome of a situation is not determined by your worrying.

Now, think about what would have happened within you had you chosen INNER PEACE. Chances are the situation would not have been affected. And you would've felt emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically more at ease, making it easier to deal with the situation, no matter what the outcome.

When you have a choice – and you always do – choose to feel peace within yourself.

You will become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration.

Beyond Co-operation

By Dr. John C. Maxwell

For the past 20 years, John Maxwell has been my strongest mentor and one of the greatest story tellers whom I've modeled my life around. I learned from him that it was ok to Fail Forward, because you see that's the way I learned, adapted, changed and grew. Thank you John!


When a group of soldiers found themselves locked away in a German prison camp during World War II, they easily could have waited out the end of the war there. Or, they might have made a few small attempts to free one or two people.

At one such camp, however, the goals were much bigger. These prisoners organized themselves around the collective goal of freeing 250 soldiers in one night. Their story became the basis for the 1963 movie "The Great Escape."

Imagine the teamwork required to pull off such an ambitious goal. Groups of prisoners had to engineer and dig tunnels, build supports from wooden slats, dispose of dirt, create bellows to pump air into the tunnels, and light the tunnels.

According to one list, the supplies included 4'000 bed slats, 1'370 battens, 1'699 blankets, 52 long tables, 1'219 knives, 30 shovels, 600 feet of rope and 1'000 feet of electric wire.

In addition to finding materials for the tunnels, each escapee would need civilian clothes, German papers, identity cards, maps, homemade compasses and emergency rations.

Everyone had a job, from tailors to pickpockets to forgers. There were even teams that specialized in distracting the German soldiers.

"It demanded the concentrated devotion and vigilance of more than 600 men ... every single one of them, every minute, every hour, every day and every night for more than one year," John Sturges, who directed the movie account, once said. "Never has the human capacity been stretched to such incredible lengths or shown such determination and such courage."

To pull off such an elaborate mission, the soldiers moved beyond cooperation and into collaboration. You see, there's a difference between co-operation and collaboration.

Cooperation is working together agreeably. Everybody sits down, and they're agreeable. Collaboration is working together aggressively; and there's a world of difference between those two.

There are four changes needed to become a Collaborative type of a player:


1. Perception. You need to see teammates differently; you need to see them as collaborators, not as competitors.


2. Attitude. As a team player, you need to be supportive, not suspicious of teammates, because if you trust others, you'll treat them differently, in fact you'll treat them better.


3. Focus. A collaborative type of team player concentrates on the team, not himself or herself. Cavett Roberts said it right: "True progress in any field is a relay race and not a single event," so the focus is different.


4. Results. You begin to create victories through multiplication.

One is too small of a number to produce greatness. In fact, nothing can be accomplished in a great way without help. You have to learn to collaborate. You have to learn to come together.

When you're developing a team that collaborates, it begins to be aggressive, not just agreeable. And it begins to accomplish a vision that mere co-operation never would allow.

Feedback is essential to good leadership, but it only works if the leader is ready and willing to listen and consider change. John Maxwell also offers these do's and don'ts for getting good feedback:

DO:

Explain how you would like to receive your feedback.
Let the person finish what he or she is saying.
Paraphrase what you are being told.
Ask clarifying questions.
Thank the person for being helpful.

DON'T:

Become defensive or explain your behavior. Just listen.
Interrupt the other person...you asked for the feedback, now listen to it.
Be afraid to allow pauses and silence when you ask for feedback. People may need time to think about what they say.
Ask the person to defend his/her opinion. Feedback is purely about subjective perception and information.
Seek feedback from your fan club only.


So, my friend.... are you a Co-operator or a Collaborator?
