Life Is Meant To Be Redundant And Boring?

September 17th, 2008 | Fighter's Strengths, Frustration, Personal Growth | 6 Comments | Written by Fighter

…what in the devil’s sir name are you talking about?!

I really want to thank one of my friends for getting me out of a slight “funk” recently. Here’s the odd thing though, he got me out of the funk by giving me the worst advice anyone could give me!

But his advice woke me up, it reminded me of what I REALLY believe and the belief system that has gotten me where I am in my life today.

Here’s the back story…

I Was Recently a Bit Down…Wasn’t Sure Why…

A few weeks, not depressed or anything, but just feeling lethargic and unenergetic. I even seemed to be not get excited about great honors I’ve recently received.

I finally opened up a bit to one of my closest friends a few nights ago and expressed my major confusion as to what’s going on. This is the FIRST time that “something has been wrong with me” and I had no idea what it was.

Bottom line, everything in my life is going about as great as it possibly could.

That’s What My Friend Said - “But, You’re At The Top of Your Game Dude…”

…and he’s dead right, life has almost been SURREAL as of lately. I’ve been seeing success at almost every corner and getting recognition and national coverage for it!

I spent some time talking things out with my friend seeing that maybe if I put my thoughts out loud, something would click and I’d better understand my mental state.

It was then that I started to see a recurring theme…

Life Just Feels Too “Normal” And Repetitive Lately…

My friend quickly picked up on the fact that it seemed I was either bored, unchallenged or just needed a break from routine. However, here is where he REALLY helped me.

He felt that the feeling was obscene! His exact words…

“But, dude, that’s what life is…it’s redundant and repetitive, you’re supposed to get into a pattern and do it over and over, that’s what growing up is all about…”

I’ve never cringed more in my life then when I heard him say that. It was as if someone took a 15 inch blade to my stomach!

How could he POSSIBLY believe that?

It Was Then That I Realized What I LOVED About Myself…

Almost my entire life (at least as far as I can remember), I’ve been known to do things differently and to always do the one thing that others tell me I “can’t” do.

I’ve kept life exciting.

I graduated from college and dove into my own business (for example).

I realized that what I LOVED about my life was that I did what I wanted and when I wanted. I didn’t believe in boundaries and I certainly didn’t let life become repetitive and even BORING…

So, thank you my friend - you helped remind me of one of my biggest strengths!

Time To Do Something Different Again, New Experience…Things Others Say I Can’t Do!

…You got it, I already have a good idea of what it will be. But, you know what, it makes ME happy to even think about doing it, so who cares how crazy it sounds or who thinks I’m stupid for doing it.

Till date, if I had listened to all the nay-sayers, I’d be nobody and probably stay that way my whole life.

=========================

So, in the end, NO LIFE IS NOT MEANT TO BE REDUNDANT AND REPETITIVE! This is the belief system of those who follow/fail and lose, not the belief system of leaders and pioneers.

Go out and experience something new, it’s the only way to grow in life.

AffOrmations - Amazing Concept…

May 13th, 2008 | Fighter's Strengths | 3 Comments | Written by admin

What you learn today: Why everything you know about “law of attraction and self-manifesting” doesn’t work and an easy way to make it work…

———-

I recently met a person who has intrigued me quite a bit, his name is Noah St. John (Click here to get his free report on today’s topic). The way we met is that we were both at a conference that we each paid $10,000 to get into and the organizer of this conference spent the entire 5 days picking on Noah.

He became an instant celebrity in-front of 200 people.

Well, hook and crook I ended up at the dinner table one night next to him as he munched down a bag of almonds (he’s insanely disciplined and follows “The Zone” diet).

We got to talking and instantly sparked a friendship. Since then he and I have shared many e-mails, talked on the phone, shared business strategies and talked about “self-development.” He even recently signed a book deal where he got paid multiple 6-figures as a signing bonus! (no wonder I keep him close ;)

Well, long story short, I recently chimed in on one of his tele-conference calls to ease-drop and see what the big “Noah” craze is really all about.

The call was awesome, he really presented some concepts that even after reading well over 50 self-help books (the best ones), I have not heard of.

The one that really got me and I’ve already implemented is…

Afformations - Automatically Manifesting What You Want

I’m telling you, someone needs to call Webster and get “afformations” word put into the dictionary with Noah getting 100% of the credit (he did invent it - I confirmed with him).

Here’s how it works and this is HIS explanation on the tele-conference that I am paraphrasing:

“Your mind has a habit of conversing with you (that little voice in your head). Whenever you say something that it does not agree with, it’ll argue back and say ‘no, that’s not true.’

Now, in old-fashioned ‘law of attraction’ they teach that you should go around telling yourself what you want to be and you shall become it.

For example:

“I am happy.”

If you think it, you’ll become it — that’s the old way of doing it. Well, Noah laughs at such ice-age methods and proves why they don’t work.

You see, the minute you tell yourself “I AM Happy” that little voice in your head counters with “No you’re not stupid, why are you lying to yourself?”

BOOM! Full power of “self-manifesting” gone to the trash! You just subconsciously negated your own positive manifestation and then you wonder why it never ‘works?’

You have to re-phrase that statement in such a way that it forces your mind to think about the positive. Here’s what you say instead:

“Why Am I So Happy?”

You see, the minute you say that your brain starts to search for reasons - you just asked it a question. Rather than negating you, it starts to search for reasons and the finds them!

THIS IS TRULY SELF-MANIFESTING.

I’ve tried this technique and it really works, makes me laugh even because it’s so darn sneaky.

So, try a few right now, you can do this with anything - just add “Why” in front of it…

Examples/

I want to lose weight –> Why am I so fit already?
I want to make money –> Gosh, why am I so wealthy?
I want that promotion –> Why am I such a shoe-in for that promotion?

Force your brain to THINK about the positive side, don’t just make some random statement because in the back of your head, your brain is rejecting it!

** Just to make sure I have not made any errors in my understanding of afformations, I am summoning Noah to come check on this!
