I have noticed a lot of friends on facebook and twitter sometimes have their down moments and not pushing themselves at their peak. I understand, this is a screwed up time of year for some. For some, they have lost their job and just cannot have the awesome christmas that they had in christmas’ past. Some, have issues with their family and just cannot see eye to eye and have to step away to “cool off and collect.” Some are just lonely and depressed.
Well, maybe this post is your hope beacon for this “interesting” time that alot of us are experiencing.
Sure I could of reserved this for a Hacking The Brain post, but I kinda thought I would combine a bunch of issues instead of just one big issue in the mental and psychological arena.
1. Attitude + Gratitude
Here, is a video by Zig Ziglar discussing attitude and gratitude. Zig demonstrates a situation where a woman had discussed her “bad job experience” backstage. Zig then broke the situation down and told her to write down and affirm twenty-two reasons why she likes her job. Really cool how the outcome shapes.
2. Accepting Failure as an Opportunity
Jack Canfield, famous author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul” has a few pointers in this quick clip about looking at Failed attempts and missed opportunities as doors for new opportunities. For instance, if you do not close on one deal, look as it as an opportunity to change up your presentation or closing strategy.
3. Touching Limits and Exceeding Them
Saint Ayrton Senna has said this remarkable quote that gets me to this day, nearly 16 years after his untimely death.
“On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit and you go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think, ok, this is the limit. As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you realise that you can suddenly go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and your experience as well, you can fly very high.”
4. How To Become Rich
Jack Canfield here again to talk about how to work your way into the processes of becoming rich. In order to become wealthy, you need to start self-influencing yourself with the lifestyle of the richer folk. Join a country club, network, trying any way possible to join the spheres of influence of any successful person. I will tell you right now, that you will NOT find them at a dive bar. You will NOT find them dining at TGI Fridays or Red Lobster. I’ll tell you right now, you will find them at a BMW dealership or Algar Ferrari, unless you are Frank Kern! lol.
5. Value, Messing up and Sage Advice from Jim Rohn
This is a three part video series from “How to Have Your Best Year” by the recently departed Jim Rohn. We will surely miss Jim in his quest for helping those who want to reach higher and become leaders in their game. Here are the three videos:
6. Improve and Become better!
Had to save the biggest and baddest for last! Anthony Robbins talk at TED. Yes this is one of the best videos on Anthony Robbins out there.
Take these series of videos and think DIFFERENTLY! I also strongly suggest as the title “Your Finest Hour” states.
1. Take an hour of your day and start it with motivational strategy videos. Look on youtube, dailymotion, metacafe, WHEREVER you can go to watch videos on personal success and motivation. AN HOUR A DAY! Consider the time that you feel negative and complain and that if you could take a MEASLY HOUR out of your day to change your mind and improve on your life, you will feel a heck of a lot of better and things will turn out for the better.
