Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 > Hope your New Year is going really well! What I do is I live my life according to my Ideals and a sense of direction of what my purpose is in life. So I do NOT make New Year resolutions. I do plan every night what I can do tomorrow that will get me closer and closer to what I perceive to my my life's purpose. I teach others so they can learn to help themselves grow in they directions they wish. Think Maslow and his highest criteria. Here's a few examples. Today I taught 9 of my black belts. I also edited 52 pages of 3 manuals that go over the first Rank and 3 brand new DVD's over our Street Effective Juijitsu. Then in my spare time I found a book from 1910, and started in on the process of updating it for the clients that are coming to the Feb seminar. They get it because they are coming. I also received a telephone call that the " New Advanced Hakalau Prime " DVD's I filmed 3 weeks ago were without sound. Amazing! We checked. No sound. Not on the dupes. Not on the master. And not on the original film. I'd forgotten to turn on the mic, and NO ONE else caught that mistake in the editing, the duplication or the mailings of $36,000.00 dollars worth of product. So today I searched for my 37 pages of notes, mind maps and down-loads... ....and right now I am re-mind-mapping an even better set of brand new DVD's on that subject. I set up the filming for tomorrow at 1 pm. We should be done by 5pm so I can take the wife out to a movie and dinner. The NEW DVD's will be done and mailed by Monday, along with a FREE $397 Bonus to all that that bought the orginal DVD's, just to help them feel better about the delay. So that mistake was reframed in my mind so I'd have a much better product to help our clients with. All mistakes are learning experiences, when used correctly. They lead to better and wiser decisions. > No more excuses...been there, done that. Ad nauseum. Really? I've noticed that many people blame others when all the blame are the reasons they come up with from inside of them. Those are called " excuses " . Excuses show the deep down subconscious beliefs that drive people in weird directions that do NOT fit their life purpose. Now if someone does NOT have a life purpose, than any old direction will suffice until it gets bad enough. It's like a boat at sea with the wind blowing it this way and that way. Very non-productive for landing at a port of 'choice'. > Mayhaps this would be a good time to ask if any others have made resolutions? And what you are doing to keep them up? Again, as I posted above, resolutions are only done by people that 'slide' along in their comfort zones most of the time. When they get uncomfortable and start to feel guilty, THEN they make a resolution because of the guilt over unhealthly eating habits, a wasted life, feeling old and worn out, blab, blab, blab. Making plans, plans that go in the direction of your life purpose is something that is LIVED and done on a daily basis. That keeps one younger, healthier and more vibrant. Your comfort zone is a bundle of unconscious beliefs that control you without you realizing it consciously. You cannot behave in a way that is different from your subconscioous programming any more than a computer could decide to disregard its programming. Where money, weight, eating habits or anything else are concerned, you gradually get into your various comfort zones, and once there, you do everything possible to stay there. You resist change of any kind, even positive change, and then blame 'stuff' outside of you as being " their fault " . Illness is also in that " trap of consciousness " . Group, what do you think?
