You have available to you, right now, a power like a supercomputer that can enable you to solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and achieve any goal you can set for yourself. This power has been used throughout history to take people from rags to riches, from poverty and obscurity to success and fame, from unhappiness and frustration to joy and self-fulfilment. And it can do the same for you. This power has been called many things by many people in many places. It is the fundamental principle of most religions, philosophies and metaphysical teachings. It underlies much of psychology and is intertwined with the science of quantum physics. It is the cornerstone of all success and achievement and in its simplest term, it is called the "sub-conscious mind,"
Our consciousness is actually made up two fundamnetal parts of our mind... At any given time few of us are aware of our sub-conscious minds, however we are all aware of our conscious minds, (thoughts and desires) though very few of us truly learn to control it. To examine the difference, are you aware that you are breathing right now, well yes because I just asked you the question but generally no.. so therefore your breathing and other repetative cognitive programs that we are not aware of (including habits and Beliefs) are controlled by our sub-conscious activty, including our motivation. If you examine your concious ambitions, desires and goals in a very sincere way, you will discover that you have some fears of realising them. You want something, but yet you are afraid to have it. You may wish for a different kind of life, but in your subconscious mind you fear the change. You may desire to get married, but you are afraid of marriage. You want to change your business, but you are afraid to make the change. This is because the familiar gives security. In other words if your conscious desires are not aligned with you sub-conscious beliefs that you can achieve something then you will never achieve it.
When you have a goal, and at the same time you experience doubts and fears, it is a natural neuro-function of your subconscious. The problem is that most people use fear as a defense mechanism (an excuse) instead of a validation mechanism; a questioning mechanism. There are four main fears in relation to success the most predominant of which is our fear of failure. The truth is that most people do not realise the importance of failure in the pursuit of success. It is ok to fail as long as we gave 100% and learn the lesson, in fact the only true failure is the failure to participate in realising your goals dreams and ambitions. Analyzing any desire you have and trying to find out if there is any resistance to bringing it about, will bring the fears into the open, and enable you to throw away your fears and inner brakes.
Most people look at the world around them as something real and solid. Their minds are chained to what they see around; their thoughts reflect their life, circumstances and events. Rarely will someone disregard their surroundings and circumstances and create in their mind a different situation. Surroundings and environment influence people's life, and they regard them as something they can do nothing about. When you become able to see in your mind a different kind of life, you stop being enslaved by circumstances and start creating your own life. The study of Mata-physics, neuro-science and most recently quantum physics has proven the existence of such universal laws, just as we now believe in the Law of Gravity. Understanding these are key to success and all successful people wither aware of them or not practice these laws every day. For example:
The law of expectation states that whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self fulfilling prophesy and that is why it is absolutely essential that we continually expect the best of ourselves, our team, our children, and expect the best of every single situation. We can never out perform the expectations we have of ourselves. In the same way people who look up to us as leaders will never outperform the expectation we have of them. If you expect people to do crap work then they will inevitably live up to that expectation you have of them. I have personally started to change the culture of an entire workforce of over 500 people, many of whom were minimum wage earners performing very poorly by simply creating a culture of positive expectations. Of course some did not change and so I fired and hired even quicker, or they became the exception and left without being pushed because they no longer fitted in.
The law of cause and effect states that for every effect in our lives there is a cause... there are no random events or external factors... everything happens for a reason; a cause. Causes or thoughts and Effects are events, therefore everything starts with our thoughts positive or negative, each will grow depending on what we focus on. In your business if your team is performing poorly or you are constrained for time, these are effects.. the causes in my experience are poor leadership, or lack of a culture, or in relation to time constraints the cause is usually poor decision making from prioritising to lack of goal setting and planing... ultimately it always comes back to what or how you are thinking about leadership and time.
These and other laws change the odds in our favour to win because our brain motivates us to do whatever it takes to reach our goal. We are PRIMED to win in problem-solving, selling, or creating originality. The mind-body-connection is also a powerful tool for success used widely in sports psychology and just as effective when applied to your career. Whenever we experience success, we enjoy a great exhilarating feeling. By capturing and reliving this feeling you can turn it into the seed of a new success. If you think about something that you really want to realise, and at the same time you consciously generate this feeling of success in your conscious mind, and stay with it, you can achieve wonders. When you focus your consciousness on success, and fill it with the feeling of success, things start happening.
When the certainty of success is saturated into the consciousness, you have a great power in your hands. Success consciousness means that you are certain of your success without doubts. Believe that you can change, all you have to do is take the first step. How can you attain success if your consciousness is focused on failure and doubts? Become aware of your consciousness, of the feeling that you are, focus on it, and at the same time think of success and you have a mighty power at your disposal. Your mind is the most powerful thing that you possess and when you understand the possibilities that lie within it, it will change your whole future and life.
Remember your mind is like a fertile field, which can grow whatever you plant in it. If the thoughts you plant are predominately negative then the negative seed will grow, on the other hand you can change by giving yourself the opportunity to grow positive thoughts and feelings and what will happen will amaze and inspire you.
