From Fear to Freedom

Do you feel that you are suppose to be experiencing a more exciting
life? However, for some reason you aren't and you have tried to.
Then the steps below may just be the answer you are looking for.
At least a start to you living your dreams.

Every successful person has had to deal with fear. The road to hell
might be paved with good intentions, but the road to success is littered
with fear and uncertainty.

The biggest difference between someone that is wildly successful and
someone that is not is the courage to take significant action over and over
again.

These steps will enable you take that significant action, repeatedly:

1. Simply decide to succeed. Most people never really decide to do
or accomplish anything significant; at best they 'kinda sorta try it out.'
However, once you've truly decided to go for your dreams, there is no
other option - and no room for fear or doubt - in your mind. In fact, the
word 'decide' means to cut yourself off from any other possibility.

2. Embrace risk. Chase after your fears and show them who is boss.
Make the tough presentation or phone call. Ask for whatever it is that
you want. A big part of being successful is doing things that other people
are too afraid to do.

3. Prepare yourself. Many of our stresses, challenges, and concerns are
things that we anticipated. Take the time to find solutions and put them
into place before you need them. When you can see a challenge that is
likely to come up, simply prepare for it instead of worrying about it.

4. Go with the flow. If you don't live in the past or future, life is much less
stressful. Let go of your resistance to the present moment and see what happens.

5. Focus on the good outcomes. Most people look for the worst and expect it to
happen. Expect the best and it's much easier to take action. Sure, some
undesirable things will likely happen along the way, but they'll be like mosquitoes
that need to be shooed away. That's much better than the brick wall that you might
otherwise perceive.

6. Learn to relax. When you feel stress and anxiety coming on, a few slow, deep
breaths can make a huge difference. To a large extent, our psychology follows our
physiology; breathing is the only part of our physiology that we can really control.
Use that control to your advantage.

7. Fully engage in your life and get away from the news. The news is so negative.
Instead, find something interesting to do with your time. If you're conquering less
stressful things all day long, the more stressful things don't seem so bad anymore.
Take a piano lesson, go hiking, or go skydiving. It will make your life more
interesting, too.

8. Realize that you are enough. Even if you have things to learn and skills that need
to be honed, that doesn't mean that you're incapable of the task at hand. Plan to
acquire the resources you need, but do everything you can with the resources you
have now.

9. Start small. Make a list of everything that you need to do but can't seem to follow
through on. Put them in order from least scary to most. Now decide to do the item at
the top of the list. When that's done, do the next. Only focus on the current item at the
top of the list.

You should print this out and read it in the morning after you wake up and
in the evening before going to bed. Make it a part of your mental
reprogramming.

The only way to truly be free is to conquer your fears. The only way to
conquer your fears is to do the things that frighten you. Show yourself that you can do
those things successfully. Follow the suggestions above and start your journey from
fear to freedom today!

Superbowl 2010-Who Will Win

Well today is the big day- Superbowl Sunday between the Colts and the Saints which will determine who is the best of the best of the NFL to win the championship game. You, like most of us love to watch these games and hope that your team will win the big one. If your team is not in it then we usually have to settle for one of the others. 

This is a post I have been wanting to write for along time but never took the time to do it and it was usually going to be after the game was over and we knew who won. Now it is not long before this years game starts so I have to be finished before then. This message focuses on what is done before they win. I want to point out somethings that you could use to help you win in life or business.

Every year each teams major goal is or should be to win the Superbowl which is the ultimate prize in professional football. When you win that it says you are the best of the best. That is what everyone wants to be know as is it not. How do you get to be the best of the best then?

You have to have a goal, not just any goal but a big challenging goal like they do. They have to win enough games to get to the playoffs and then when all thier games in the playoffs to be one of the last two teams standing to make it to the big one. We know that is not an easy feat because the opposing team has the same objective and they are not just going to give the win to you.

Well if winning the games gets you there, what does it take to win the games?

You have to be in peak physical and mental shape. Football is a very physical game just as life and business are so it would be wise to workout as much as possible. Since you are using all of your body you have to do many different exercies in order to get in shape and stay that way throughout the course of the season.

Your mind will have to be worked out also because it is as much a mental game as it is physical. You have to study the plays, know what to do in different situations and be prepared for the unexspected to happen at anytime. How many times have we seen a guys miss a tackle,catch, or a block. Then  what what about all the wrong moves that are made. When that is happening they do not have thier head in the game or let the other players mess up thier concentration & focus. We tend to do that alot in our pursuits as well don't we.

Knowing what to do and excuting it better than the other team is what will get you the win and the championship. That comes down to knowing the game plan. The coaches are there to put this together for the team. They help in the above activities as well. However, they have to take the time to study the other team and try to figure out what will have to be done in order for the team to come out victourious.

It is getting close to game time so, I am going to have to wrap this up. now I know that this may not seem like alot to do but if you think about all the steps in between these areas you will realize that it is. So, let me give you the general idea of what I feel it takes to be a winner. You may not agree and that is fine but these are overall steps and not a full drawed out plan. Just enough to get you staring to think about what is needed to win in life and business as in sports.

Have a goal
Be preapred, physically and mentally
Have a plan of attack
Have a coach

If you take this information and apply it to what you are wanting to do, maybe we can see you come out on the winning side. Then you will be a champion in life or business. Both really because to me they are one in the same. Your life is your business and NOW is the time to start winning in it.
