I know I know

Life is just too dang hard. The breaks never come. There is no hope.

Do you catch yourself in a pity party? Do you find yourself internalizing these words and thoughts? Some people do. Those that remain stuck do.

You, I suspect, are not one of those people. You are one of the few that see light when it is pitch black, or water when there is nothing but a dry lakebed. That is the spirit. See what you can and deliver it to your mind. That is the power of change, courage, and possibility thinking.

Do these things:

1. See what you want in your minds eye.

2. Create an “I am” statement.

3. Read it 100 times per day.

4. Visualize success.

5. Feel success in your mind and in your heart.

6. Cut off all possibilities of failure.

7. Get up when you fall down.

8. Keep you eye on what you want.

There are a hundred more ideas I could share here. You get the picture. Think about what is good, what is possible, and go get it. Stop wavering, wandering, and second-guessing yourself. You are a powerful person and have the ability to be, do, or have anything you choose. And that is the key…

Choose to have it!

Facing Fear

August 12, 2010 By Spencer Leave a Comment

Fear! We all have it. We all want to shed it.

Left unshed it drives our lives. It keeps us in check. It creates stress, depression, and hopelessness. So why do we invite it to stay with us?

If you ever intend on reaching your life’s destiny you must conquer your deepest fears. Unconquered and you remain enslaved to life. You will get what you get.

This morning I heard a great statement relating to fear.

“Face the thing you fear and fear will leave you.”

Sounds so simple, yet it is not that simple. It’s the choice you will make to face your fear or accept the life you have now. The billion-dollar question is… what will you choose to do about your fear.

You could face it and defeat it.

You could create affirmations to reprogram your mind.

You could see a hypnotist to get past your fear.

Or… or… you could just decide it is time to stop giving fear any power over your life and start moving forward toward your happiness. I suggest you start walking down the path you intend. Each step will take you further away from what you fear. Soon fear will be in the dust.

Overcome Your Wild Monkey

August 9, 2010 By Spencer Leave a Comment

Do you ever have a conversation with your wild monkey?

It probably sounds like this:

“I want to accomplish X.” Then your resistant might chimes in to answer.

“Who are you kidding? You can’t do X. Remember the last time you tried.”

And the sad part is you believe it. You begin to reason, second-guess yourself, and ultimately chock up the notion to just a thought. Soon after it has no more ether and dies on the vine. Your resistant mind has done battle and won.

Buck up! Grab your self-esteem! Yell, scream, and declare that the wild monkey in your mind is not in charge. You know you can do whatever you set out to do, so just go do it.

Use all the props you can to banish that voice. Use better self-talk, affirmation, goals, declarations, motivational books, CD’s, whatever it takes to keep your wild monkey in check. I have even used a letter to address my voice.

Whatever method you use to talk back to your voice, know it may take continued effort to overcome this voice. Your wild monkey doesn’t know any better. They are in place to shield you from harm. The sad part about it is they are creating more harm than simply allowing you to be free to think, create, and accomplish your life’s dreams.

It will be a battle at times and in the end you will win. Stay the course of positive thoughts and positive actions.
