Thought of the week: What is your relationship with money?

Friday, October 12th, 2007

What is your relationship with money and prosperity? Is it healthy and positive?

Or, do you believe that most (all) wealthy people are crooks,dishonest and frauds? Is being rich and possessing much wealth and material goods have a positive or negative connotation for you?

Want to create wealth for yourself? This requires positive beliefs about possession and wealth. You need to become receptive and to open yourself to the possibility of wealth if that’s what you want. So, start by turning up your ‘wealth thermostat’. You’ll suddenly create new possibilities for yourself.
Change negative beliefs and inherited attitudes and begin turning your life around…unless you believe been poor and unsuccessful is a virtue.

Change just one belief and you can turn your life around!

Do you procrastinate? Tame your monsters (fears, beliefs)!

Some fears are useful: they supply the leverage to take action. They can spur you into action. If you focus on what you don’t want more than what you do want, this can sometimes help you to end a habit (e.g. smoking) because you can see the negative consequences of choosing to smoke. So, the fear of consequences can sometimes be useful. However, generally, it is more resourceful to focus on what you really want in your life, rather than what you really don’t want. Focusing on what you want is always the best way of leveraging in the long run. By focusing on what you don’t want, your subconscious will continue providing just that…and that’s really not resourceful for you.
Here are some of the fears hiding behind all procrastination habits?

Fear of Failure: Fear of losing love and affection, in security, inadequacy.

Fear of Embarrassment: Fear of looking ridiculous, incompetent, of being exposed, stupid, an imposture.

Fear of Achievement: Fear of not fitting in the crowd; being left alone or isolated because of successful achievements. Fear of going against the grain.The crowd and popular opinion.
Poor time management and disorganization: An inability to set priorities, manage time wisely and efficiently. Fear of seeking help. Not wanting to look incompetent.

Antidotes: Perceive fear as just another powerful emotion that can serve you when used effectively. Personalize your fears; think of them as characters in an animation series, your own personalized monsters, and have fun playing with them. By trivializing and ridiculing them, you take away their hold on you! The more you empower an emotion, the more you attribute power to it. By trivializing it, by ridiculing it, by consciously releasing a fear, you take its sting and its power away.

Mike Weir and Tiger Woods: President’s Cup— Montreal 2007

Monday, October 1st, 2007

I had the great pleasure and honor to attend the President’s Cup held in Montreal in September. What fun!

While watching these virtuoso players in action, I wondered about their talent and amazing performances.

A question:

What is the difference between an amateur and a professional golfer?

The answer:

Tiger Woods and Mike Weir both have… coaches!! They always have.
And 99% of the amateurs, don’t….

That’s the difference. You have tremendous inborn talents and aptitudes…and with a coach working with you, you can perform and accomplish just about anything you set your mind to. You can really maximize your potential. A coach is trained to see what is missing for the client to excel. Try it!
Become a professional… of your life…Get a coach.
