The desire to become someone

Someone
… so you’re looking for answers but you’re not entirely sure about the questions.

But you know you have to become someone.

A SOMEONE.

This film is a dash through ‘the journey of life’ and contains a huge paradox which might not make sense … at first.

You will need to pay careful attention.

Blinking not advised.

Listening

"Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. You can see that when you think how the friends that really listen to us are the ones we move toward, and we want to sit in their radius as though it did us good, like ultraviolet rays."

Achieve your potential

Do you ever feel that within you is the potential to achieve greatness yet you don’t know exactly what it is you want to achieve or how you’re going to get here?

Is there a goal perhaps that you want to achieve such as losing weight or quitting smoking?

Is there a certain part of your being that you desire to change or perhaps improve in an effort to enhance your personal development?

Is there a fear dwelling within you that you want to diminish?

Is there a part of your life that you feel is incomplete in some way?

The fact is, 10 out of 10 people would answer yes to at least one of these questions. The REAL question pertains not to what, but to how can we successfully achieve, attain, overcome or enhance some aspect of our lives. There are thousands of methods than a person can turn to improve themselves but the answer always lies within your mind.

At the forefront of every decision, strength, weakness, ability or desire is a thought. Our thoughts dominate our minds and create our reality both directly and indirectly.

Our outer world is truly just a reflection of our inner world. How we view circumstances, situations, outcomes, relationships, etc. determines how we progress in our lives. Therefore, to improve or enhance any part of our outer world, we must first focus our energy on our inner world.

It starts with the mind. Many experts agree that our minds are the maps that determine the direction that we take in life. Therefore, to progress in the "right direction", we must make sure our maps are accurately programmed.

One of the most effective ways to accurately program the human mind is through hypnotherapy. By positively aligning your thoughts with your area of enhancement, hypnotherapy will create a definite focus for your mind. The result is positive progression.

acceptance

"This business of hozho. The way I understand it ... I'll use an example. Terrible drought, crops dead, sheep dying. Spring dried out. No water. The Hopi, or the Christian, maybe the Moslem, they pray for rain. The Navajo has the proper ceremony done to restore himself to harmony with the drought. You see what I mean. The system is designed to recognize what's beyond human power to change, and then to change the human's attitude to be content with the inevitable."

Score a new start to old problems



I found this list from Dennis O'Grady intriguing.

He has based it on what he calls the Hummingbird Effect, and says sometimes it's better to fly down and circle back up, rather than trying to keep going upwards. I like that idea ....

Here are NINE WAYS TO SCORE A NEW START TO OLD PROBLEMS AT WORK AND HOME:

1. BE FULL OF INTEGRITY…NOT FULL OF ‘IT’

2. BLAME THE BOONDOGGLE, NOT THE BIRD

3. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE OTHER FEATHER DROPPING…BECAUSE IT WILL

4. ANXIETY IS BORROWING TROUBLE…SO DON’T TAKE OUT A LOAN

5. YOU CAN FIX STUPID BY DOING LESS OF WHAT ISN’T WORKING…AND DOING MORE OF WHAT IS WORKING

6. BE A SMART COMMUNICATOR: KNOW THE HARDER YOU TRY, THE BEHINDER YOU GET, SOMETIMES

7. WHEN YOU TIRE YOURSELF OUT…REST AND RE-FUEL

8. IF WHAT ISN’T WORKING STILL ISN’T WORKING…TRY DOING THE OPPOSITE FOR A CHANGE

9. DO LESS WHEN DOING MORE ISN’T WORKING OUT SO WELL FOR YOU

attitude and opportunities

"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed."
