I was recently reading a story about a gentleman that attended a convention back in 1918…well actually he called it a mental strength controlbanquet. Here’s the segment, I think you’ll find this pretty interesting…

“I attended a banquet of inventors recently. Each inventor gave a short talk on something he thought would be accomplished in the future. Many very much-needed things were spoken of. One inventor spoke of the possibilities of wireless telephone. Distance, he said, would shortly be annihilated. He thought we would soon be able to talk to the man in the submarine forty fathoms below the surface and a thousand miles away. When he got through he asked if there were any that doubted what he said. No one spoke up.

This was not a case of tactful politeness, as inventors like to argue, but a case where no one present really doubted that the inventor’s vision would, in the future, materialize.

These shrewd men, some real geniuses, all thought we would in time be able to talk to those a thousand miles away without media. Now, if we can make an instrument so wonderful that we can send wireless messages a thousand miles, is there any reason why we should not through mental control transmit messages from one person to another?”

Pretty amazing don’t you think?

For one, back in 1918 a few individuals already had the vision of the cell phone. Then they also had the comprehension that the cell phone was no different from using our mental strength and focus to communicate, without words, to each other.

In fact the cell phone, in many respects is harder and more cumbersome for communication than that of projected thought.

I believe that someday business will look at how well a person can send out “influences.” These influences will be so dominating that others will be partly inspired by them. Then the business will grow and profit by the use these mental strength powers and depend on them to draw all resources required to achieve their goals.

Of course, this really happens now on a personal level. You are constantly sending out suggestions to your coworkers, family and friends…but what type are they? Empowering or disempowering?

We all are receiving these messages unconsciously and if yours are coming from your soul, yours will be received “stronger” than others.

This is being done today in business. Look at Apple, Google, etc. They are finely organized companies that secure and combine the talents of all their employees.

Sure, each person may have a different and unique role, but the synergistic effect manifests amazing results.

The whole atmosphere of the company is impregnated with a high standard of excellence. Everyone feels they must do their best. A person could not be in these surroundings and be satisfied with doing anything but their best work.

A business will succeed only to the extent that the efforts of all are coordinated towards one result. And at least one person is needed to direct and coordinate everyone toward the desired end. The person at the head doesn’t have to outline exactly what each person is to do, but they must possess the mental strength power of influence.

An influential business communication, i.e. e-mail, blog post, etc, is not written in a casual, commonplace way, instead the writer tries to convey something they think the receiver will be interested to knowing or finding more about.

In this way the message awakens a responsive spirit. Sometimes just the addition of a word or two will change a message from a matter-of-fact style to one that compels and inspires a response. It’s not always what that actual words are in the message, but the spirit which it breathes that brings results.

“That intangible something that defies analysis is the projected thought of the master that brings back the harvest that it claims.”

Personal success isn’t just for you, you have family and friends that desire to reach their personal goals and personal success right?

Well, if you’d like to assist your friends or family with their personal success simply use your mental strength and picture them being successful.

If they have a weakness of some kind, imagine it as being strengthened; think of their shortcomings, which belong to their negative nature, as being replaced by positive qualities. Take a certain part of the day to send them supportive thoughts.

By doing this you will “awaken” their mental strength powers and bring them “online.” And once awakened they’ll begin to assert themselves on the persons thinking.

You Can Accomplish Much More!

We can manifest and accomplish much more than most of us are ready to believe by sending to others our direct, positive and influencing suggestions of personal success. To some extent whether a person achieves their personal success is significantly determined by the way they act on the suggestions they receive.

We are either advancing towards our personal goals or retreating from them. We never stand still. Every time we accomplish something it gives us ability to do greater things.

The bigger the attempt (goal), the greater the things will be accomplished in the future. As a business grows, the head of the business also has to grow. They must advance and be the ever guiding influence. By their power to influence, they inspire confidence in those they associated with.

Through your mental strength power you can generate in others enthusiasm and the spirit of success, which then will inspire them to take on great personal goals.

In concentrated mental control, there is a latent power more potent than physical force. When you become of this “attitude” of the mind you have access to the power of controlling, directing and governing other forces. You will have a mental strength mindset that will assist you in reaching your personal goals and achieving personal success.

All of us no matter how mentally strong we are, are affected by the mental forces of our environment. There is no one that can remain neutral these influences. The mind cannot be freed from the forces the surroundings.

If the environment of your place of business is not helpful, it will be harmful. That is why the environment, i.e. feng shui, is so important.

You Can’t Live Alone

No person was ever intended to live alone. If you isolate yourself and only be with your own thoughts you suffer from mental starvation. The mind and thinking become narrow; the mental powers weaken.

Living alone often causes some of the milder forms of insanity. If children do not play with those their own age, but associate with only older people, they will take on the actions of the older people.

The same is true of older persons if they associate with people younger than they are. They take on the spirit of youth. If you wish to retain your youth you need the energy and influences of youth.

Like attracts like all over the world.

The thought element plays a great part in our lives. To be successful in your business or career you must not only know and use your physical environment, but you must also know and use our thought environment…your mental strength. There must be co-ordination of thought (internal) with the environment (external).

If you are an employer, you should aim to secure employees that think along similar lines. They will work in fuller sympathy with each other. They will better understand each other. This enables them to help each other, which would be utterly impossible if they were not in sympathy with each other.

It is this that goes to make up an effective and efficient organization, which in turn directs and influences them toward a single objective.

Instead of each person being a separate unit, each one is like a spoke in a big wheel. Each member carries his own load, and he would not think of shirking. Anyone working in such an atmosphere could not help turning out their best work.

All great leaders must be able to inspire this co-operative spirit. They first secure the resources required through their mental strength control. They then make the value of this mental strength control known to the individuals they have attracted.

Soon there is a close bond between them; they are working toward a single purpose. They profit by their combined effort. The result is that they accomplish much.

If your business is conducted in the right spirit, you can infuse your thoughts and your ideas into your employees. Your methods and ideas become theirs. They don’t know it, but your mental forces are shaping their work. They are just as certain to produce results as any physical force in nature.

The successful business person is going to take pains to assist their employees to think and reason better. Hey will not want them to become robots and non-thinking, this will lead to depression and discouragement.

A successful business person will endeavor to have their employees use their concentrated mental strength effort; this will lead to a mutual benefit and be profitable to both employer and employed. When there is more of this type of spirit in the workplace, there will be more happy employees and profitable business.

This is way personality assessments like DISC, Myers Briggs and CRG are so important, they help the business determine if the perspective employee has the “right” attitude to be a good team member.

Bad Company

You must realize that every moment spent in thinking of your difficulties of the past, every moment spent in bad company is attracting to you all that is bad; is attracting influences that must be shaken off before you can move forward.

Many firms prefer to hire employees that never worked there before so that they have nothing to unlearn. They are then not trained, but have no bad business habits to overcome. They are more easily guided and grasp the new methods more effectively because they are not contrary to what they have already learned.

They are at once started on the right road, and as they co-operate readily they receive the mental strength support of the management in learning the methods that have been perfected. This inspires confidence in themselves and they soon become efficient and, finally, skilled team members.

Most big business firms today employ efficiency experts. Each day or week they are in a different department. They earn their money because they familiarize persons with very little business experience with plans that has taken the “expert” years of training and much money to perfect.

The attitude we take has a great deal more to do with our success than most of us realize. We must be able to generate those mental forces that are helpful and supportive. There is a wonderful power in the thought rightly controlled and projected and we must through concentration develop this power to the fullest possible extent.

We are surrounded by many forces of which we know but little at present. Our knowledge of these forces is being expanded almost daily. Each year we learn more about these psychic forces which are full of possibilities of which we are not even dimly conscious. We must believe in mental control, learn more about it, and use it, if we want to command these higher powers and forces which will unquestionably direct the lives of countless future generations.

Closely tied to your financial success is your work/career environment.  If you are suffering financially, you’re personal successprobably suffering in your work.

No one should be working!

Work equals drudgery and monotony.  Work is dull, annoying, offensive and uninspiring.

Who wants that?

Certainly not a rhino!

That sounds like the perfect place for cow…but not for you.

Get into a livelihood that you can really dig your horn into.  Enjoy what you do every day or it will be work, and you’ll never achieve personal success working at something you hate and can’t wait to leave.

You’re not going to get out of bed charging in the morning if you hate what you do.

Yuck!

To achieve personal success it’s imperative to do something you love; something you are interested in; something that inspires you.

Only you know what that “it” is.

When you’re on your path with heart, and begin to give it everything you got, you will achieve your personal success almost effortlessly.

Plan Your Exit Strategy…NOW!

If you’d dread going to work each day…plan your exit strategy NOW!  The longer you wait the longer it will take you to reach your personal success.

Make plans to get into something you really want to do.  Don’t wait for permission, you’ll never get it.  Especially don’t ask anyone at work what they think.  How the heck would they know…they’re cows!?

No one at your work really wants to see you get ahead of them anyway.  I’ll tell you right now what they will say.  They’ll be something like, “If you quit, you’re stupid. How are you going make any money doing THAT!”

When cows call you stupid or foolish and when sheep tell you that you were going to regret something, you know that you’re on the right track.

Keep charging!

If a lion tells you that you are stupid, proceed cautiously.

If a rhino tells you that you are stupid, you are stupid.

But a rhino would never tell anyone that though, so don’t wait for anyone’s permission.

Be an audacious rhinoceros and start making your plans today so that you give your two-week notice and head out of the cow pasture.

Your rhino instincts beckon you to the jungle of adventure and achievements…go for it!

Loving What You Do

If you’re working at a job/career that you are glad you have and enjoy it, then show it.  You can still be an effective rhinoceros working for someone else.

Employers love to have charging rhinos on the payroll.  They’re about the only ones worth paying.  Therefore, they are the ones who quickly advance in the company and receive frequent raises and promotions.

Show your boss that you are a rhino.  Let your work be your challenge.  See how much more you can produce.  What ideas can you come up with to become more valuable to your company?

You will have the free enterprise system working for you…giving and getting.

Give more of yourself and you will get more back.  You don’t get heat from a fireplace until you put wood into it and start it up.  Put your wood in and light the fire!

You’ll command and received the highest wages and perks because you give more.  You’ll be charging while everyone else is meandering.

You’ll help, rather than hinder, and at the same time inspire others to put out more.

Don’t Be Like A Zombie

Be happy at work.  Have you ever gone into a DMV building and notice the employees?  They’re just like zombies!

Yesterday I went downtown to register my car and I couldn’t believe all the cows and sheep that worked there.  They all acted as though they had knives stuck in their backs.  They spoke in a monotone and never showed any emotion.

It was chilling!

I thought that I had entered the twilight zone or the day of the living dead!

Go one…b a rhino and show your unique personality.  Smile and act as if he were alive, well and happy.

Put some spring in your step and some warmth in your handshake.

Put some feeling behind your words and show an eagerness to help.

You will not only like yourself much more, what you will create a warmer, friendlier, more productive environment and everyone, and they’ll love you for that, especially the bosses :-)

If you want more from your job/career, show up tomorrow as a full-time rhinoceros.

Don’t pay attention to the rumors that will start about you’ve been drinking or that you bumped your head.

Remember, you have 2 inch thick skin and your audacity.

Cows hate to work with rhinos because rhinos make them look bad.  Cows are lazy and unproductive.  They will try to pull you down to their level.

Don’t let them.

There’re now a real rhino lose at the work place!

Watch out sheep….look out cows!

There’s no telling what will happen now.

One rhino charging all over can really shake a place up.  Decide to be that rhino and watch good things start to happen to you.

Rhinos Make Successful Salesanimals

There are more rhinos in the field of sales than any other profession.  That’s because the very nature of selling requires a rhino attitude.  A cow trying to make money selling will live a hell on earth, but a rhino in sales, well that’s heaven on earth!

We have already talked about rhinos and selling, but I would like to acknowledge, one more time, the successful rhinos in the world of sales.

You are a rare breed of rhino.  Your species is bigger, more aggressive, faster, more audacious and you have skin about 6 inches thick.  They don’t shoot torpedoes at you; they send out armies!  There is nothing that can subdue a charging sales rhino.  You are a powerful animal keep charging!

Would you like to learn life as a rhino charging down your personal goals and dreams?  Then pick up a copy of “Develop the Mental Strength of a Warrior” today by going HERE now.

It seems everyone and their grandmothers are constantly seeking the secrets to true personal success.  Since most power, purpose and passionindividuals have their own definition of what personal success is, there really is no one clear-cut formula.

There are however certain traits that are common in many high achievers.  The following are five mental strength tips that will help you live a life of power, purpose and passion…basically a successful life.

 1. Learn, Discard, And Create:

Learn what is useful, discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own.

All throughout our lives, we are educated and forced to learn things about society, people, religion, politics and life…all from someone else.

Many of these teachings will be of no use to you in creating your future. Keep what resonates with your Soul, that which you know will be good for you. Then, discard the disposable information; it will only tend to confuse your mind.

When you were younger and just starting out learning about math, reading, science, etc it was delivered in a “one size fits all” program.  Now that you have moved on from that style of learning is time to purge your mental cache.

It is up to you to determine which information supports you and your personal goals and which information does not.

Become a master at your craft.

Seek out the resources that are required for your personal success at your chosen profession. Then add a dash of uniqueness and make your life your own by adding your personality.

This way, you know that the knowledge you acquired, combined with application in real life, plus your additional perspective makes for a life lived with power, purpose and passion!

 2. Go Beyond Your Limitations:

 Most high achievers were told that they couldn’t do it.  They were told they where too poor, too inexperienced, too unattractive, or too weak to achieve any sense of personal success.

Don’t let others limitations become your limitations!

Use your mental strength and learn to break down the barriers of your comfort zone.

Be open to change, possibilities and adventure!

Believe you can do it.

Remember, there is no failure only feedback.  Use your feedback to motivate yourself into doing more than you thought possible. Think powerful and positive thoughts.  These thoughts will lead to powerful and positive action that will help you break out of your self-imposed limitations and on to achieving your personal success.

3. Set Goals:

Have you ever gone through a phase in your life and realize that you don’t really have a goal? Feels like you’re just wandering around doesn’t it?

Always have personal goals you’re striving for. This serves as the itinerary of your life. Every major or minor decision you make should be geared towards the fulfillment of your personal goals.

Then, when you set your goals, be patient and be flexible. Don’t be discouraged by delays or minor setbacks…you have your entire life to reach them.  No success is lasting if it’s easy to get.

To be a truly successful person, your goals must not only be for your own benefit, but for the good of everyone in your life. And to really be successful, you must be in harmony with everyone else. No real success is borne out of the misery of others. Remember karma, you reap what you sow. Don’t step on anybody’s toes on your way to the top. It’s lonely being alone on your pedestal.

4. Create Your Own Destiny:

You are the master of your life – it’s no one else’s life but yours. In other words, you and only you can work towards your own success. If you rely on others to achieve your personal success you are not taking responsibility for your results.

Someone else is determining your destiny.

The simplest way to be accountable and responsible for creating your destiny is to follow your path with heart.  That is, to follow the reason why you are here!  If you need help with finding your path, check out The Warrior Quest.

When you use your mental strength and follow your path with heart, you have empowered yourself to live a life of destiny.

I said this is simplest way, not the easiest way.  Simple because once you’re on your path there are very few decisions to make.  Because of this, your life will not be easy.  Others might look at you as if you’ve lost your mind.

You can rest assured that when you are on your path you are creating your own destiny!

5. Have a Clear Conscience:

Have integrity. This is probably one of the most ignored aspects of success. What good is success if you achieved it in not-so-good ways? Always strive to be the best person you can possibly be.

Remember, that integrity is believing, thinking, speaking and acting all in the same way.

This will take mental strength and when you are aligned, that is, when you are in integrity, you will always have a clear conscience about all that you do.

This last tip is the tip that will give you inner and emotional strength and success. It’s the one which will give you peace of mind.

As Zig Ziglar said, “Money will buy you a good comfortable bed, but it will not buy you a good night’s sleep.”

These tips were meant as a starting point for you to begin to live a successful life…a life of power, purpose and passion!

Get started today on living YOUR successful life and join me at The Warriors Quest. This is a one of a kind experience that will absolutely change your life.

Welcome back to another Mental Strength Tip!agent of change for personal success

Achieving personal success and reaching your personal goals begins with a mental strength mindset of empowering beliefs.

Reaching your personal goals and personal success starts in your mind…and finishes with taking inspired and massive action.

This is one in a series of virtual success coaching and mental strength tips to help kick-start your week.  It is intended to enthuse and inspire you to take action so that you can reach your personal goals and personal success.

I take one mental strength tips and run though a brief overview of it, then ask some very direct success coaching questions.  The intention of this virtual success coaching session is for you to write and answer these questions in your success journal and then reflect on them to gain insight on yourself, your dreams and what’s holding you back.

These series of posts are for YOU!  If I’m not able to success coach you personally then I highly recommend picking up a copy of “Develop the Mental Strength of a Warrior.” It’s a book that will take you through the exact process to take back control of your thoughts so that you can live a life a power, purpose and passion with perseverance!

You can your copy now by going HERE.

Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:

To help you see yourself as a leader and as such as change agent.  One who is never satisfied with the status quo and is always moving toward your personal goals.

The virtual mental strength and success coaching session is to help you realize that you are either moving forward towards your personal success or slipping away from it, there is no standing still.

Let’s Get Started:

A change agent is someone who “alters human capability or organizational systems to achieve a higher degree of output or self actualization.” Beginning with the end in mind, the goal of a change agent is obviously to make changes that stick.

The result of change agent activity is to enable people to do more, or find a new and better perspective on life. Sometimes this latter idea is the foundation for future change which achieves outcomes that were previously not attainable.

Questions to Uncover Beliefs about Mental Strength Thinking:

  • What do you believe is your primary role as a leader and change agent?
  • Do you believe it’s more important to be liked or respected?
  • Do leaders have to be likable to gain cooperation from those they are leading?

Unsupportive Beliefs about Being a Change Agent:

  • A leader’s job is to manage people and keep them happy.
  • A good leader’s main role is to retain their people.
  • A good leader motivates through cheerleading.

Mental Strength Beliefs about Being a Change Agent:

  • A mentally strong leader gets feedback and then makes their decision for the good of the team.
  • Great change agents aren’t addicted to being popular.  They prefer it, but they aren’t addicted to it.
  • A change agent’s primary function is to being about change.

Outrageous Questions:

  • Based on your past results, have you been more interested in being popular or bringing about change?
  • Do you lead by consensus?
  • Is your leadership style more like a politician campaigning for votes of a football coach focused on winning?

Reflective Questions:

  • On a scale of 1-9, 9 being best, how good of a leader are you?
  • On a scale of 1-9, 9 being best, how good of a leader would your team say you are?
  • Why do you think it’s important for a leader to also be an agent of change?

Mental Strength Coaching:

Many managers have been promoted into their role without ever having led a team.

As a result of being promoted from the field, they often try to maintain the same relationship with the people they were once part of, in order to retain being liked.

My job as your virtual mental strength and personal success coach is to help you get out of your own way and step up to the plate as a true change agent focused on moving your team forward.

Remember this is huge shift in your mindset and will take mental strength and time.

Final Thought

Coaching people to become a real leader is the equivalent of coaching an adolescent into adulthood.

The adult doesn’t have the luxury of putting popularity before personal performance, and is often forced to make tough love decisions.

What I’m suggesting is for you to “grow up” and become a real leader who people will want to follow.

This will take commitment and sacrifice and it will be worth it.

Who Ever You Think You Are, You're More Powerful Then That

Keep in mind that most people have never given much consideration to expectations and intentions and how it affects results. So it may take some time for this topic to sink in and take hold.  Use your mental strength and take it step by step, knowing that some people must experience personal success with a new idea before it becomes integrated into their belief system.

Our reality is what we believe to be true.

What we believe to be true is what we perceive.

What we perceive is what we expect.

What we expect is what we know.

What we know is what we believe to be true.

What we believe to be true is our reality.

“Through our paltry stir and strife,ideals for personal success

Glows the wished Ideal,

And longing molds in clay,

What life Carves in the marble real.”-Lowell.

Before we get into the post I’d let’s look at the word “ideal”

An ideal is a principle or value that one actively pursues as a goal. Ideals are particularly important in ethics, as the order in which one places them tends to determine the degree to which one reveals them as real and sincere. It is the application, in ethics, of a universal. It is roughly similar to the relative intrinsic values.”

Someone who claims to have an ideal of honesty but is willing to lie to protect a friend is demonstrating that not only does he hold friendship as an ideal, but, that it is a more important one than honesty. Thus ideals can be seen to be similar to values.

We often hear people referred to as idealists. The fact is we are all idealists to a certain extent, and depending on our mental strength and ideals we will either achieve our personal success or not.

You must have a mental image of your personal goal if you are to manifest its equivalent in the material world. Everything is first created in the mind. When you control your thoughts you become a co-creator. You receive inspired ideas and shape them to your individual needs.

All things of this world are to you just what you think they are. Your happiness and personal success depend upon your mental strength and ideals.

You are responsible for every condition and situation you go through, either consciously or unconsciously. What you do next, that is, how you respond to the circumstance, determines the succeeding step. Remember this; everything has within it a valuable lesson.

By using your mental strength and concentrate on each step as you move forward, you can save a lot of waste steps.  You will be able to choose a straighter path instead of a roundabout and convoluted road.

Concentrate Upon Your Ideals and They Will Become Material Actualities

Through mental strength and concentration we work out our ideals in our physical life.

Your future depends upon the ideals you are forming now. Your past ideals are determining your present and your present ideals are informing your future. Therefore, if you want a bright and successful future, you must begin to prepare for it today.

If people would realize that they can only harm themselves, that when they are apparently harming others they are really harming themselves, what a different world this would be!

When it is said that someone changes as much as the weather, what this really indicates it that the persons ideals change. Every time you change your ideal you think differently. You become like a rudderless boat on an ocean. Therefore realize the importance of holding to your ideal until it becomes a reality.

When you wake up in the morning determined that nothing will get to you, that nothing will cause you to choose to lose your temper. This is your ideal of a person of real mental strength and composure.

If something takes place that upsets you and you completely lose your temper, for that time being you have forgotten your ideal.

If you had just paused and took a deep breath and thought of what being a composed and mentally strong person implies you would have chosen not to become angry. You lose your poise when you forget your ideal.

Each time we allow our ideals to be shattered we also weaken our mental strength, concentration and will-power. Holding to your ideals develops mental strength and will-power.

Remember this!

Why So Many People Fail

Many people fail to reach their personal goals and achieve personal success because they don’t hold to their mental strength ideals until they become automatic. When they concentrate on their ideals to the exclusion of all other things they become a reality.

“I am that which I think myself to be.”

Many ideals are reflected to us from the unseen spirit. The laws of matter and spirit are not the same. One can be broken, but not the other. To the extent that your ideals are kept, your personal success is assured.

It was never intended that any one should suffer. A person has brought it upon themselves by disobeying the Laws of Nature. Not being aware of the law doesn’t mean it’s not there.  A person cannot plead ignorance.

So why does, or would, people break them?

Because…they do not pay attention to the ideals that are revealed to them from Infinite Spirit.

Life is but one continuous unfoldment.  You can be happy every step of the way or miserable; it all depends upon how you entertain those silent whisperings that come from beyond us.

We cannot hear them with the physical ear, but from the silence they come as if they were dreams. These whispers come to everyone who has the mental strength to be silent and listen for them.

So don’t look for these higher ideals with your consciousness mind, but go within, into your Soul and where they will be discovered and revealed.

This will require hours and the use of concentration.  Be consistent and persistent in your process. You will need to use your mental strength to stay the course.

No person ever gets to the top of a mountain by wishing themselves to the top

They must climb it!

No person gets out of the rut of dull, tiresome, monotonous life by merely wishing himself out of the rut. He must climb out.

If you are standing still, or going backward in life, there is something wrong. You are responsible for moving forward towards your personal goals, you and you alone!

Don’t be mentally weak and think that you are neglected, or not understood, or not appreciated.

These are thoughts of failure.

Use your mental strength, concentrate on your supportive ideals and think hard about the fact that any person who has achieved their personal success took action and worked for it.

Don’t pity or criticize yourself….enthuse yourself.

You know that the only thing in the world that you have got to count on is yourself.

I’ve left the rhino theme alone for a bit and thought now would be a good time to pick it up again.personal success

If this is your first time here, I’m using the rhino as an archetype to describe a specific energy we all have inside of us. When you can embody this rhino energy you’ll be able to charge down your personal goals and achieve our personal success.

A rhino is the true essence of self-empowerment.

And so we continue with life as a rhino…

Living life as a rhino means you never give up!  Tenacity is in every cell of your huge, charging body.  You have the invaluable strength to keep on keeping on, what ever you are doing, despite ANY circumstances.

You are indomitable!

Nothing can conquer your strong will to reach your personal goals and achieve personal success. Torpedoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, taxes, lightning, rhino poachers and landmines will not stop you.

Every nasty, irritating obstacle that tries to trip you up is immediately trampled over. Your persistence knocks downs anything that is keeping you from your vision!

A Boat Story

Imagine you’re one a small sailboat all by yourself….well it might have to be a large boat to hold your 2 tons of massive rhino body, but imagine this anyway.   There you are in the middle of the ocean.

No land was in sight.

And suddenly, a bad storm appears…a really bad storm.

The rain is driving down on you, the blowing wind feel as though it’s going to pick you up and throw you overboard.

You wrapped yourself around the mast of the boat and held on with all your strength as the boat rocked furiously back and forth in the waves.

The winds grow stronger and you find it harder and harder to hold on.  It almost is though the elements are purposely trying to break your hold to the mast.  It gets to a point were you considered letting go.  The pressure is so intense and you don’t think it will ever let up.

But you do hold on…the storm subsides and you lay down on the deck exhausted. Then you wake up on the deck and the storm is gone.  The sky is blue and clear in the seas are perfectly calm.

You did it!

You held through the storm and survived!

So, what’s the point you ask?

The point is to persist, never let go, no matter how exhausted you feel, no matter if you don’t see an end to the storm…you hold on NO MATTER WHAT!

So, during the day when you’re charging around after your dreams and you find yourself in rough waters…hold on.

Never let go!

Imagine yourself back on that ship with the storm trying to throw you off.

Do not let go.

Unless the storm destroys the ship and it starts to sink.  That’s all right to let go, but even then don’t give up, start swimming!

Be a Rhino in All Aspects of Your Life

Do you know how to make a rhino float?

8 ounces of Root beer, one scoop of vanilla ice cream and a scoop of rhino!

OK…OK…stop laughing now and remember this extremely funny, side-splitting, hilarious joke, because it will remind you to put a little bit of rhino and to everything you do.

Personal success comes from being a rhino all the time!

You don’t play rhino while you’re working on important project and then go back to being a cow when the project is completed.

No way…is this a full-time position!

You have to think rhino every waking minute!

This is why having rhino pictures all around are so important. The minute you begin to forget that you are rhino; you lose your valuable rhino virtues.

When you feel yourself start slipping back to cow land, look at the pictures, sit up straight, take a few deep rhino breaths and start charging again.

Opportunity can slip away in a matter of seconds.  A torpedo could knock you flat on you back before you even know what hits you.  You have to think rhino every minute of the day so this will never happen to you.

Keep a pebble in the bottom of your shoe to remind you, if that’s what it will take to keep you constantly thinking rhino.

There are six major areas of your life that will immediately benefit if you go into full-time rhino mode.  They are financial, work, family, physical, social and spiritual.

Personal success can be had in each of these facets of your life if you become a full-time rhino.

Welcome back to another Mental Strength Tip!self expression for personal success

Achieving personal success and reaching your personal goals begins with a mental strength mindset of empowering beliefs.

Reaching your personal goals and personal success starts in your mind…and finishes with taking inspired and massive action.

This is one in a series of virtual success coaching and mental strength tips to help kick-start your week.  It is intended to enthuse and inspire you to take action so that you can reach your personal goals and personal success.

I take one mental strength tips and run though a brief overview of it, then ask some very direct success coaching questions.  The intention of this virtual success coaching session is for you to write and answer these questions in your success journal and then reflect on them to gain insight on yourself, your dreams and what’s holding you back.

These series of posts are for YOU!  If I’m not able to success coach you personally then I highly recommend picking up a copy of “Develop the Mental Strength of a Warrior. It’s a book that will take you through the exact process to take back control of your thoughts so that you can live a life a power, purpose and passion with perseverance!

You can your copy now by going HERE.

Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:

To help you understand the difference in motivation by proving yourself and expressing yourself to achieve your personal goals and personal success.

“The desire for self-expression afflicts people when they feel there is something of themselves which is not getting through to the outside world.” – Fay Weldon

Let’s Get Started:

Self-expression comes from the Soul; where as proving yourself comes from an unhealthy ego.  When you are motivated to use your business or career as a form of self-expression in achieving your personal goals, your personal success will be assured…and you’ll have more fun.

Questions to Uncover Beliefs about Mental Strength Thinking:

  • Have you ever been motivated by the desire to prove yourself?
  • Are you trying to prove yourself to anyone right now?
  • Have you ever gained lasting satisfaction by proving yourself to someone else?

Unsupportive Beliefs about Self-Expression

  • Self-expression is for artists.
  • When I’m able to prove myself I’ll be successful and happy
  • I don’t have any specific personal goal, but I know when I have proved myself.
  • I’ll feel inadequate until I prove myself.

Mental Strength Beliefs about Self-Expression

  • I don’t need to prove anything to feel worthy.
  • Self-expression is the highest level of living.
  • Self-expression is living a life of power, purpose and passion.

Outrageous Questions:

  • Are you out to prove or express yourself, especially with achieving your personal goals and personal success?
  • Do you know the difference between proving and expressing?
  • Are you more ego-driven or Soul-directed?

Reflective Questions:

  • What percentage of time do you operate from an ego-driven consciousness compared to a Soul-directed consciousness?
  • Would your closest friends and family agree with you?
  • Is your primary way of think, i.e. coming from ego vs. Soul, helping you get closer to your personal goals and personal success?

Mental Strength Coaching:

Like many of the other mental strength questions in these virtual success coaching sessions, the ego/Soul question must be asked on a regular basis, no matter how successful you think you are.

Proving vs. expressing is just on component of this concept.  The overall goal is to condition you to constantly analyze your thinking as well as to discover what is at the root of your thinking.

These virtual success coaching session are intended to be the catalyst in this process, and most likely will be the only opportunity you’ll have at shifting your thinking, unless you coach with me personally.

Final Thought

Moving from ego-driven to Soul-direct to express yourself, instead of trying to prove yourself, is challenging at times. This shift in thinking will not happen overnight.  Please be patient and persistent knowing that when you succeed, you have altered your destiny forever!

Get started today on creating this shift and request your Introductory Consultation by going HERE.

“It is a spiritual law that the desire to do necessarily implies the ability to do.”mental strength

I’m sure you have either read, heard or watch the movie of “Aladdin’s Lamp”. This is just a fairy-tale but it does illustrate the fact that we have the power within us, if we are able to tap into it, to create our reality and manifest our desires.  That is, to achieve our personal goals and reach our personal success.

If you have been unable to manifest your deepest desires it is time you learned how to use your innate powers. When you become conscious and aware that you have these latent powers within you in, and once developed, you will be capable of achieving unlimited possibilities of success.

You should have abundance of all things, not merely just getting by. All natural desires can be realized. It would be torture for the Infinite to create wants and desires that could not be realized.

Our very soul has the power to desire, and therefore, is the essence of the manifestation of our personal goals. Our very instinct leads us to thought, and in every thought there is great possibility, because true thought development, when connected to the mysterious powers which transcend us, has been the cause of all great accomplishments.

In our silence we can become conscious of “that something” which transcends thought and which uses our thought as a medium for expression. Many individuals have had glimpses of “that something,” but few ever reach the state where the mind is focused enough to comprehend its’ depths.

Silent, concentrated thought is more powerful than spoken words, for speech distracts from the focusing power of the mind by drawing more and more attention to the words instead of the feeling or energy behind the words.

We must learn more and more to trust ourselves; to seek more the Infinite within. It is from this source alone that we can gain the power to solve any challenges or circumstances.

No one should give up when there is always the resources of Infinity available to them.

The cause of failure is that we often search in the wrong places for personal success.  This happens because we are not conscious of our real powers that when used are capable of guiding and directing us.

The Infinite within is unknown to those who go about life without developing a spiritual practice to awaken these powers. The Infinite is always available and manifest into desired personal goals by those that consciously utilize this power.

There is no such thing as a Special “Providence.” A person will not receive help from the Infinite except to the extent that they believe, trust and act as if they do have the power of manifestation.

Concentrate On What You Want and Manifest It

The mentally weak are controlled by their conditions, that is, their reality. The mentally strong control their conditions…their reality. You can be either the conqueror or the conquered. By the Law of Concentration you can achieve your personal goals and personal success. This law is so powerful that it almost seems impossible to comprehend.

By the Law of Concentration, what you first see as a dream then becomes a reality.

Remember that the first step in concentration is to form a Mental Image of what you wish to accomplish. This image becomes a thought, a mental seed that attracts thoughts of a similar nature.

Around this thought, when it’s planted in the imagination, you create associated thoughts which continue to grow as long as your mental strength and desire are intense enough to induce focused concentration.

Form the mental strength habit of thinking of something you wish to accomplish for five minutes each day. Shut every other thought out of your consciousness. Be confident that you will succeed; make up your mind that all obstacles in your way will be overcome and you will rise above any limiting conditions.

You do this by using the natural laws of the thought, which are the most powerful forces at our command.

A good mental strength practice for the development of focus and concentration is to write out your thoughts, the ones that have the most juice to them.  Then continue to add to this each day until you have run out of ideas.

You will find that each day as you focus your attention on this thought, this thought that is at the center of your Consciousness, new plans, ideas and methods will flash into your mind. There is a Law of Attraction; these new thoughts will help you accomplish your goal.

A marketing person, for instance, gets to thinking along these lines. He has thoughts of his ideas, but he wants to know what others are doing. So he starts out to find ideas and he soon finds plenty of books, websites, articles and other resources on the subject. Although when he started he was not aware of their existence.

The same thing is holds true for any topic, subject or goal. We can attract those resources that will help us manifest them. Very often we seem to receive help in phenomenal ways.

It may be slow in coming, but once the silent unseen forces are put into action, they will bring results as long as we do our part. They are ever present and ready to aid those who know how to use them.

By forming a strong mental image of your desires, you plant the thought, the mental seed which begins working on the creation of that goal. In time, that desire, if in harmony with your higher nature, will materialize.

It may seem unnecessary to caution you to concentrate and focus only on the creation of that which is good for you, good for others and good the “community.”   There are a few that forget others in their quest for personal success and have done “wrong” in the achievement of their goals, only to have their success slip away.

All good things are possible for you, but only as you bring your intentions into harmony with that Law which requires that we are kind to our fellow travelers as we journey along life’s road.

So consider your goals and desires and if they are “good” then say “I want this; I am going to achieve it. The way will be open for me.”

If you fully grasp mentally the thought of success and hold it in mind each day, you gradually make a pattern, a mold, which in time, will manifest.

Use your mental strength to keep a “safe place” for these thoughts free from doubt, fear and destructive forces. Never allow these to become associated with your desired thoughts.

You will eventually create your desired conditions by receiving help in many unexpected ways.  This assistance will transform your current reality into your desired reality. Life will seem very different to you, for you will have found happiness through awakening within yourself the power to become the master of your reality and circumstances instead of their slave.

If you are new to this line of thinking, this information (and the information in the previous posts) may sound strange, even absurd, but, instead of doubting or discounting them, give them a shot. This is the only way you’ll find out they will work.

An inventor has to work out his idea mentally before he produces it materially. The architect first sees the mental picture of the house he is to plan and from this works out the one we see. Every object, every material creation must first be mentally created.

I know a man that started a business with only a few dollars and zero available credit. In ten years he had built a very successful and profitable business. He attributes his success to two things; belief that he would succeed and hard work.

There were times however that it didn’t look like he would make it. He was being pressured by his creditors and even considered bankruptcy.

He kept using his mental strength and got an extension on his loan exactly at the time he needed it. When absolutely necessary to raise a certain amount of money in a specific time he always did it.

When he had large bills to pay he would set his intention that certain clients that owed him would pay him by a certain date and it always happened. Sometimes he would not receive their funds until the last day of the extension.

He would have no reason other than his belief in the power of affecting the mind of another by concentration of thought for expecting the funds to show up and was rarely disappointed.

So, use your mental strength and put forth the necessary concentrated and focused effort and you will be surprisingly helped from sources unknown to you.

Remember the words of a mystical master: “Whatsoever thing ye desire when ye pray, pray as if ye had already received and ye shall have.”
