Personal Development

October 26, 2009 by bertram

Someone said to me recently “this isn’t working for me”.

This statement has a presupposition built into it –

the presupposition is that “it” had to “work” for “them”.

Not possible.

The truth is, with everything we do, we work it, not the other way around. This is the framework of 100% responsibility for our results and our non-results.

Rather than externalising what “caused” something to not work – keep it within you – you are the cause for the results you are getting. What you may choose to consider –

1. Nothing has meaning except the meaning you give it – “it” not working is a meaning, not a truth – it can’t be anything more than an interpretation you are bringing to the event

2. The quality of your life will improve the moment you own point 1

3. Decide before the event the meaning you will give it

4. If you don’t like how something is going, either change your beliefs, change your strategy or raise your standards – success is only a heartbeat away

5. Take 100% responsibility for how you “feel” about something – and if you know NLP you know how to change this feeling in a moment!

6. Look for patterns in what you like & dislike and determine if those choices serve you or hinder you and the outcomes you want

7. If your patterns hinder you, & you still do them, what is the secondary gain? What do you get out of that pattern?

8. Give up your stories about why things are the way they are, why you feel the way you do, what works & what doesn’t – it’s all unfolding exactly the way you want it to

9. If Point 8 pushed a button, go to Point 7

Warmest Regards,

Bertram

Thoughts

October 15, 2009 by bertram

After my morning meditation today I picked up Wayne Dyer’s book ‘Ten secrets for success and inner peace’ (which by the way is a brilliant book) and what I read I thought I would share it with you.

Suppose you had a choice between two magic wands. With Wand A, you can have any physical thing you desire by simply waving it. With Wand B, you can have a sense of peace for the rest of their life regardless of what circumstances arise. Which would you pick? A guarantee of stuff, or inner piece for the remainder of your life? If you opt for peace, then you already have Wand B. Simply have a mind that is open to everything but attached to nothing. Let it all come and go as it were. Enjoy it all, but never make your happiness or success dependent on an attachment to anything, any place, and particularly, any person.

I hope you enjoyed that.

Namaste

Bertram

Hey! Hey! Why did I do it?

October 7, 2009 by bertram

Today I did something totally out of the ordinary and sat down and watched a TV show. In fact I had it in my diary and I even cancelled a networking opportunity to do so.

So what made me do something so unusual? It was nothing but a foray into nostalgia. I looked up the Wiki definition of the word nostalgia and it said:

‘The term nostalgia describes a longing for the past, often in idealized form. In common, less clinical usage, nostalgia includes a general interest in past eras and their personalities and events, especially the “good old days” of a few generations back recast in an idyllic light.’

I think that that describes the show ‘Hey Hey it’s Saturday’ and I was so glad that I did watch it. I sat there and laughed and cried and relaxed watching a whole bunch of people having a good time – taking me along for the ride. They were not scripted and over produced they just had fun.

At the same time I lamented for the fact that programs like this did not exist anymore, because today we are bombarded by a brand of TV that is run by bean-counters and analysts and such like after sampling, testing, and doing focus groups. What happened to spontaneity?

The other reason I watched the show was it took me back to a time when I would sit with my wife and beautiful children and watch Daryl and Ossie and feel that beautiful sense of family. Aah, to have that time again. C’mon Bertram you’re just being nostalgic!

Cheers

An Epiphany

October 4, 2009 by bertram

I have long pondered how the Universe works. I understand that we are all one and connected, but what I did not quite understand was how!

Today I got it. I have long been amazed at how I could send a text message halfway around the world or pick up my mobile phone and call someone anywhere. It dawned on me that if the phone call or the text messages, which are nothing but electromagnetic carrier waves transported on superimposed electromagnetic light-wave/particles and transported at the speed of light around the world, then my mind and my thoughts which are also electromagnetic light wave particles could do the same. As they say thoughts are vibrations and we are vibrationary beings.

Aha! So when I have a thought it is in actual fact flying all around the world and can be picked up by others, like someone answering a phone call. So it should not be a surprise that when I think of someone that they should call me or at least think of me at the same time. It would also follow that my thoughts could also create my reality, by bringing me what I thought about. So, this is how the Law of Attraction works.

In addition, when I meet someone and have a feeling about them all I am doing is picking up on their thoughts/vibrations. I’m sure you have heard people say that they liked someone as soon as they met them, but they did not know why. They were at the same vibration.

One of my favorite bits of writing has always been the narration by Sir Laurence Olivier from the musical called ‘Time.’ I now know why I loved it so much, because it is at the very foundation of how my life will be. Here is a small part of it:

Throughout the Universe there is order.
In the movement of the planets, in nature
and in the functioning of the human mind.
A mind that in its natural state of order is in
harmony with the universe and such a mind is timeless.
Your life is an expression of your mind.
You are a creator of your own universe
For as a human being you are free to will whatever
state of being you desire through the use of your thoughts
and words.
There is great power there. It can be a blessing or a curse
it is entirely up to you.

So think long and hard about what your thoughts are composed of. If you truly want to change your world, my friends, you must change your thinking.

Namaste

Attitude

October 3, 2009 by bertram

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference.
The little difference is attitude.
The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
W. Clement Stone
