11 Forgotten Laws

One of the first programs that I studied when I got involved in personal development was a great foundation for so many of the concepts that I have heard about and studied since. It is by my mentor, Bob Proctor and another amazing teacher, Mary Morrissey.

It is called The 11 Forgotten Laws. 

There is so much talk about and attention to The Law of Attraction lately.  This program, based on the book, Working With The Law, by Raymond Holliwell, helps you understand that, although the Law of Attraction is amazing, there is so much more than that.  I have found it to be a resource that I go back and listen to again and again.  Maybe you will find it as useful as I have.  Check it out.

Berate or motivate?

To coach someone is an awesome privilege.  I heard somewhere that after a session with a good coach, you don't think "Wow, they are a great coach!", you think "Wow, I am amazing and capable of amazing things!"  A good coach, like a good parent or manager, draws the best out of whoever they work with.

Of course, there are some people who think that coaching (or parenting, or managing) is yelling at someone, pointing out their faults and basically shaming them into doing better.   It might work for some people by making them mad and moving them into an "I'll show them" attitude.  Unfortunately, that attitude isn't a good one to perpetuate.

I prefer to encourage, en-courage by helping someone see what wonderful outcomes are possible.  Helping someone to dream and then plan how to create that dream in reality, step by step, that is my preferred "modus operandi".

Technical help needed.....

OK, I highlighted the text and chose the size to be the same for all and my post doesn't look like I expected....  What am I doing wrong?  I seem to find that this happens when I cut and paste from somewhere else.  Is there some instructions imbedded that I can't see.  If anyone has a solution for me I would be so grateful for the assistance......

Thanks

5 weeks!

Below is an excerpt from an email I sent out yesterday. It is now exactly 5 weeks to my next live seminar!


I continue to learn and grow at an amazing rate! Every day I am discovering more about human behaviour and human potential. If you want to get a full day of what I have learned you will want to attend my upcoming seminar on Saturday April 14. Info and Registration

"It's Up To You - Choose Your Future" is a full day seminar where you will find out some of the best information that I have discovered/studied in the last 3 years and how you can use this information to transform your life - that is, if you choose to. Attendance is limited to 30 people, so act fast to be sure of getting in. Only $199 + HST I absolutely expect it to be sold out!

Networking anyone? - Bring your business cards and use the opportunity to exchange information and maybe set up getting together at a later date. People at the event are action takers, they are likely the type of people you want to keep in touch with!

That drives me determined!

A few months ago I was talking to my sister and noticed something we both had said.  The thing about awareness is how helpful it can be to yourself and others (if they are open to it).  Anyway, what she and I both had said, was that something was "driving us crazy"....  Do you ever say "that drives me crazy" or "she or he drives me crazy"? 

Think about the law of attraction.  What are you attracting by phrases like that?  Do you want to protect your mental health?  When I noticed that we both, in a short conversation, had said that something was driving us crazy I said "We have to change what we think and say when we are going in that direction."  I came up with a replacement phrase when I start to think or say this or that "drives me crazy".  It is "That drives me determined!"  Now, whenever I hear anyone say that something is driving them crazy, I share this alternative and most people like it.  Now, I have shared it with all of you, my blog readers.  I hope this one little shift will help preserve and protect some mental health in our "going crazy" world.

Note to Technology - I really do want to be friends!

I thought I was so clever :)  We were going to be away for a few days so I set up my posts to automatically appear (in the blogger instructions this is called scheduling).  Very handy.  I love this feature with my online banking so I can post date a payment and then file the bill away instead of keeping it on my desk and having to remember to pay it on the day I want.

I played around with it and figured out how it worked.  At first I missed a step.  After setting up the date and time I wanted it to post on I needed to actually press the "publish" button.  When I looked in my list of blogs then it showed as "scheduled" instead of "draft"....  Aha!  I had discovered the missing link!   So, I proudly saw this work successfully and decided to do it again.

I was surprised this morning to see that my intended post for yesterday, about a great TED talk I wanted to share, was not posted :(   It was waiting there as a draft because I had forgotten one critical step - pressing the Publish button.  It was so obedient - only doing what I had asked, not anticipating what I meant to do but did not "ask" for it to do.  Once I get to be clear in what I want from technology and get good at asking for what I want I am sure we are going to be very good friends!!  I will "keep you posted" (pun intended) on the progress of our friendship :)
