Quelques idées proposées par le conférencier-expert de l’innovation dans les entreprises,  Simon Gosselin:

“On innove surtout dans une situation d’instabilité.”

“Celui qui croit mener, mais qui n’a pas de suiveurs, ne fait que se promener. L’innovateur-leader change l’organisation; le gestionnaire maintient les processus.”

“L’innovateur se demande continuellement: qu’est ce que je fais demain que je ne faisais pas hier?”

“L’innovation part d’en-haut dans l’entreprise…et l’innovateur-leader s’applique à faire de la gestion humaine des ressources et non de la gestion des ressources humaines?”

“L’innovation est une affaire de personnes d’abord…On commence en changeant son carré de sable…”

Simon Gosselin

Think from the end. Only choose to believe things based on the outcome or consequences that believing in these things will get you. Be inventive and become curious about the beliefs successful people have. Adopt these beliefs and you’ll also begin getting what you want in your life.

“Right now, as for most people, you are creating whatever you are creating based on a whole bunch of unconscious stuff that is operating automatically–much of that is giving you an experience of life that you don’t like–so if you get aware of that stuff, you can create something different–and once you’ve done that, watch that creation and realize the power you have over your life.”

Inspired by talks given by Bill Harris in 2003

“Les coachs des athlètes font un usage régulier des techniques d’affirmation. Une pratique de saut à la perche pourrait consister, pour l’athlète, à se relaxer sur un divan et à s’imaginer le plus clairement possible qu’il réussit à passer la barre, encore et encore, plus haut qu’il ne l’a jamais fait auparavant. Cette technique élimine les croyances négatives à propos des limites physiques et prépare l’athlète en vue d’une performance réussie sur le terrain. Quelques entraîneurs de tennis, tel Tim Gallway, enseignent la partie de tennis intérieure, c’est-à-dire l’art de s’en remettre à l’esprit inconscient ‘qui, lui, sait déjà comment jouer au tennis’.”

“Throughout our lives we are trained to do the right thing, the right way. It begins with our parents, continues in school and gets reinforced at work and throughout life. We do need to know how the world works, how to think logically and be effective in what we do, but by doing so, we often lose the ability to think tangentially and solve our puzzles in a creative way.

The great news is that we still  have the same creative capabilities that we had when we were young–we have just forgotten how to use them…You have the capability to improve your creative input every day for the rest of your life. You can choose to change your focus away from routine and habit, and instead experiment with newness and difference. If you make this your focus, this will have a life-changing impact on you.”

From How to Have Kick-Ass Ideas, Chris Barez-Brown ISBN 0-00-722094-4

What you focus on is what you get. So, if you want something different, focus on something different.

Here are some actions you can take to help you focus on what you want:
begin meditating and visualizing– create a collage with pictures of things you want– write a script and create your happy ending– create a storyboard– ask and delegate actions to your subconscious mind–and, to get what you want more rapidly and more efficiently, work with a professional accredited life or business coach.

“Si nous faisions tout ce dont nous sommes capables, nous en serions littéralement stupéfaits.”

Thomas A. Edison

Our beliefs and assumptions date back to childhood. Once we have acquired them, we rarely question them. We assume that they are true. If we think that everything we have in life doesn’t come easily, that’s because life isn’t easy. If we feel unworthy, it’s because we are unworthy. We will challenge other aspects of our lives but our beliefs are often the last to be challenged.

What you believe is what you get.

If we look at any problem areas in our lives, we find they are rooted in faulty and limited beliefs. If we are having problems with relationships, we must examine our beliefs about relationships. If the problem area is health, we should look closely at our beliefs about health.

Beliefs are deeply lodged in our subconscious mind and they are at work coloring our reality.

Write down all the beliefs you have about a given area. The resulting list will be very revealing. For example, in the area of money, you could discover such beliefs as: “If I accept money from someone then they will go without,” “There are no good opportunities left to make money,” “Money is hard to make,” “Successful people are selfish,” and “I would have to give up too much to become successful.” This is a self-limiting and self-defeating list. With such beliefs, a person can’t get ahead in the financial area. He would be at war with his own subconscious which would continue telling him he would have to become selfish, take from others, and give up too much in order to make more money.

So what is in the subconscious mind is of immense concern. If the subconscious mind has picked up worry, negativity or limiting suggestions, it will accept them as true and will work with that belief day and night bringing about the corresponding situations. If it focuses on poverty, failure, bad relationships and trouble, then it will endeavor in a thousand different ways to manifest those realities. Once the subconscious mind has accepted a belief, whether true or not, it will continually feed thoughts to support that belief. The unconscious mind and the experiences we encounter in our life are directly connected to one another.

Let’s say someone unconsciously believes that it is hard to establish a loving relationship, this belief, repeated to itself, soon becomes imprinted on the subconscious mind. Once imprinted, it feeds the mind such thoughts as: “It’s impossible to meet a good partner,” “Relationships never work,” and so on. Our mind will distort a perception of reality to make it conform to our beliefs. If someone thinks they are worthless, or that money is hard to come by or that he is susceptible to poor health, his mind will find evidence to support those beliefs and will work hard to manifest those realities in his life. On the other hand, if he believes he is a winner, healthy, he’ll find himself surrounded by equally strong evidence supporting those beliefs.

It is essential to choose beliefs wisely. In every area of our lives, we are the problem and we are the solution. New beliefs when accepted by our subconscious mind will open up  new realities. Once we take responsibility for our reality, we can examine what we need to change in ourselves and sometimes just that change will open up new realities.

We must challenge ourselves to create new, more supportive beliefs even if on the surface we don’t believe them. We must remind ourselves that we can voluntary plant in our subconscious mind any thought, idea or belief we desire and our mind will accept it provided it is introduced with feeling and reinforced through repetition. It it like weeding our mind gardens. Replace limiting beliefs with new and more supportive beliefs. The subconscious mind will not question these new beliefs; it accepts any thought repeatedly dwelt upon. Do some mental house cleaning. Toss out all those old limiting beliefs and replace them.

Explore possibilities: In each area of our life, write down all the beliefs about an area, e.g. health. Then beside each limiting belief, write a newer, more supportive belief. Finally, impress these new beliefs into the subconscious mind. Stick to one or two new beliefs a month. In a short time, there will be a number of powerful new beliefs working for us. Using affirmations during meditation is an excellent way of imprinting new powerful beliefs on the subconscious mind.
