A Lesson from "The Master Key"

Why does the power of positive thought work? Why does visualization work so well? Why does imaginary practice work so well when combined with actual practice.

Athletes, military personnel and succesful business people all use the above in one way or another to support their massive action.

Charles F. Haanel wrote "The Master Key" many, many years ago. Check out this excert below. I found his observations and ideas fascinating.

------------------------

"Every thought brings into action certain physical tissue, parts of the brain, nerve or muscle. This produces an actual physical change in the construction of the tissue. Therefore it is only necessary to have a certain number of thoughts on a given subject in order to bring about a complete change in the physical organization of a man.

This is the process by which failure is changed to success. Thoughts of courage, power, inspiration, harmony, are substituted for thoughts of failure, despair, lack, limitation and discord, and as these thoughts take root, the physical tissue is changed and the individual sees life in a new light, old things have actually passed away, all things have become new, he is born again, this time born of the spirit, life has a new meaning for him, he is reconstructed and is filled with joy, confidence, hope, energy. He sees opportunities for success to which he was heretofore blind. He recognizes possibilities which before had no meaning for him.

The thoughts of success with which he has been impregnated are radiated to those around him, and they in turn help him onward and upward; he attract to him new and successful associates, and this in turn changes his environment; so that by this simple exercise of thought, a man changes not only himself, but his environment, circumstances and conditions."

Not bad, 'eh? :-)

Get up and MAKE yourself feel good!

You’re In Charge Of How You Start Your Day!

When I mention that idea, a lot of the time I get a response like “You’re just a positive guy” or “you probably don’t have the stress I have” or “yeah but you’re not being realistic”.

First of all, I know “reality”. I’m a married guy with two great kids. Prior to building my home Internet business, I worked as a Military Policeman, Corrections Officer, Bodyguard, Counter Terrorist Professional, Combatives Instructor and more. I’ve dealt with bad guys in the USA and overseas, so I know how “reality” can mess with our heads. I’ve had money problems, marriage problems, and injuries that could have been career ending. But one of my mentors years ago told me that I’m in charge of how I perceive my environment and that I need to have (and practice) a good sense of humor or else I’ll end up an alcoholic with severe depression. Wow! Nice way to start a career, ‘eh?

Now, he was a successful operator and I model successful people! So, here’s a little tool I found to keep myself looking in the right direction.

Ask morning questions!

I really like this one and first heard about it from Anthony Robbins in his book “Awaken the Giant Within”. I’ve shortened the list a bit. Here’s what you do; every morning ask yourself these empowering questions and WRITE your answers on paper. If your first thought is a negative ‘nothing’ or ‘no one’ just start over and think, OK… but if I HAD TO put something positive down… what / who would it be? Here they are:

1. What am I excited about in my life right now?

2. What about it makes me excited?

3. What am I happy about in my life right now?

4. What about it makes me happy?

5. Who do I love?

6. Who loves me?

These morning questions are great because the way they are set up makes you recognize things you take for granted and then they really get you to feel those positive feelings.

Until next time!
Brian

Welcome to my blog!

Hello and welcome!

The intent of this blog is to provide my guests with tools, strategies, techniques & tactics for improving their lives. As I write this, I'm a 37 year old guy who has achieved success in many areas BUT who has also experienced failure made stupid decisions! lol

My background is unique. I'm currently an entrepreneur and an independent marketer for The Trump Network. However before that, my career was focused in the Military, Law Enforcement, Executive Protection and Security Consulting arenas.

I've been successful for three main reasons:

#1 - GREAT Mentors

#2 - My Study & Work Ethic (I come to play folks! I wake up before most people and work when others are relaxing, drinking and taking weekends off)

#3 - Humor! (I goof off and have a blast whenever I don't have to be professional)

If you want more out of life and are will to do something about it... we'll click just fine.

Until next time!
Brian
