I have recently taken part in Wealth Propulsion in London. That's a seminar guided by Chris Howard - the world's authority on the subject of Wealth Acceleration and Personal Development
It is a well-known fact that being chaotic is a common problem. It is absolutely like walking through a maze, and having a short-term memory span. Try to find the way out. If you have the impression that you keep coming back to the same unwanted relationships, jobs, thoughts that do not necessarily make you happy ...over and over again and you like it, there is a set of questions you absolutely have to avoid.
Here they are...
1. How can I find what I truly want? 2. What’s my goal in the context of X? 3. Where is my focus? 4. What am I good at? 5. What matters to me in life? 6. What motivates me at work? 7. What would happen if I woke up excited about life every morning? 8. Is it possible to have happy loving relationships? 9. How do I define success? 10.What is worth doing well? Meaning: what makes you happy?
Remember - repetition is the key to success. So in order to be miserable what absolutely has to be done is to keep yourself away from knowing what you truly want. Again and again. Just read the questions again, and remember that answering them needs to be avoided.
I feel so powerful , and I found this great thought this morning " Clean Up Keep your inner space clean. Throw out the things you're hanging on to. Recognise the rubbish and get rid of it. Make space to collect what you need to take to the future " ..inner space
my whole body non-existent, what the hek is going on with me.. .I started reading, to break the pattern, Richard Branson, and than Ayn Rand for my dessert. I want to see the results of my actions, and the results are silent now, in my head only. great thinkers .. so insightful , fruitful without Chris Howard , Aristotle , Einstein , Ayn Rand...where would I be ...
"It is not the works, but the belief which is here decisive and determines the order of rank--to employ once more an old religious formula with a new and deeper meaning,--it is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost. The noble soul has reverence for itself." (Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil.)
This view of man has rarely been expressed in human history. Today, it is virtually nonexistent. Yet this is the view with which--in various degrees of longing, wistfulness, passion and agonized confusion--the best of mankind’s youth start out in life. It is not even a view, for most of them, but a foggy, groping, undefined sense made of raw pain and incommunicable happiness.
It is a 5 sense of enormous expectation, the sense that one’s life is important, that great achievements are within one’s capacity, and that great things lie ahead. It is not in the nature of man--nor of any living entity--to start out by giving up, by spitting in one’s own face and damning existence; that requires a process of corruption whose rapidity differs from man to man. Some give up at the first touch of pressure; some sell out; some run down by imperceptible degrees and lose their fire, never knowing when or how they lost it. Then all of these vanish in the vast swamp of their elders who tell them persistently that maturity consists of abandoning one’s mind; security, of abandoning one’s values; practicality, of losing self-esteem. Yet a few hold on and move on, knowing that that fire is not to be betrayed,learning how to give it shape, purpose and reality. But whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man’s nature and of life’s potential. There are very few guideposts to find. The Fountainhead is one of them. This is one of the cardinal reasons of The Fountainhead’s lasting appeal: it is a confirmation of the spirit of youth, proclaiming man’s glory, showing how much is possible. It does not matter that only a few in each generation will grasp and achieve the full reality of man’s proper stature--and that the rest will betray it. It is those few that move the world and give life its meaning--and it is those few that I have always sought to address. The rest are no concern of mine; it is not me or The Fountainhead that they will betray: it is their own souls."
It is a fascinating theme . I have been reading recently about Bill Bartmann . A businessman . A billionaire who went a long way right from the guts , from the bottom of street gangs , being homeless to becoming the 25th wealthiest person in America . He certainly knows the key . When I look at high achievers I see clearly that it is just one step from being crazy , poor , homeless to achieving everything one desires . both sides are just the opposite sides of the same coin . what makes the difference ....? it is FOCUS . and something more , that precedes focus and that something makes the whole life become joy or misery
Today I finished a good part of my work on Bill Bartmann . I like what he presents by his actions . I am sure that he knows what it takes to achieve everything. And what it means. I feel excited . Every time when I encounter a human being that really exists and is conscious of his unique individuality -it is so refreshing , like saying hello high up in the mountains to a man encountered after hours of solitude .
.........John's work, and his interactions with others, help us to remember that this precious life, the work we can contribute to it, and the way we can choose to live it, minute to minute, needs to be honoured, fully awake. His collaborative instinct reminds us that we need each other in work and in play; that we are in it together - this messy struggle - and that it all matters. Everything. Each gesture, each meal, each painting, poem or film, each conversation or encounter an opportunity for celebration, an opportunity to learn, an opportunity to give. www.johnberger.org..............
"...The freedom to be like Warren Buffett comes at a cost .Buffett has gone into the same office every day for decades and done his job. He also does his work in a certain way, and according to certain principles, which he does not deviate from. ..."
the freedom to be like - how can this be ?
I certainly want to find out more about Warren Buffett. Becoming a billionaire ,or achieving any significant goal doesn't necessarily mean being happy or integral, but when these values meet all together ...it is just ...unspeakable joy
and these values must meet all together , one is the expression of the other
Love life. I am developing a huge project with amazing potential . This planet Earth is too great and beautiful to be lost, and life's too. On my way I met so many truly generous teachers ...Einstein , Aristotle , Ayn Rand , Chris Howard , Stephen Covey , Buckminster Fuller ...Now I find so much pleasure in writing. Life is joy, and every victory is the beginning of a new challenge...
