Philosophy (mine...)

My philosophy is simple and comes from many life experiences, and by personally developing and educating myself.
 

Doing at least one new thing every day towards our own development can be very self motivating and self inspiring, and gives the sense that we're learning and achieving, it doesn't matter how big or small, what matters is that you're achieving.  Some examples of beginning something new could be:

• Read an autobiography of a successful individual - not necessarily financially successful;
• Watch a documentary on any number of subjects;
• Begin a meditation program;
• Reconnect with spirituality;
• Enroll in a self help or self improvement course;
• Learn a new language;
• Write what your own philosophy on life is;
• Join Toastmasters - learn how to public speak effectively;
• Write down all your values and the criteria you set for those values;
• Learn more about the areas that interest you such as your hobbies, your job, people and their behaviour, etc;
• Learn to read between the lines; and
• Do something you wouldn't normally do; (this list is endless). 

If we can begin to do that we'll then become much like those who motivate and inspire us. 

Imagine an idea here or someplace else can bring about a 'Butterfly Effect' - something as seemingly insignificant like the flap of a butterfly's wings somewhere on the other side of this planet can have far reaching effects on this side. Transformation of the highest order!

If on the other hand you choose to do what you've always done, then nothing changes and life goes on pretty much as it's always done.  It's your decision and responsibility how you choose to live your life, and with every decision made there will be consequences.

All of what I do is a combination of many years experience and training so that I might help others live their life according to their own truth.

My tag line ClarityAwarenessSuccess, forms part of my easy and simple philosophy and has the following meaning:

Clarity

• Understand yourself - how can others understand you if you don't know yourself?
• Know what you want
• Understand the big picture stuff and where you fit in
• Discover never ending possibilities because there are never ending possibilities
• Clearness
• Understand and be clear about the consequences of your decisions - each time you decide to do something there will be a consequence
• Understand how you got to be where you are right now

Awareness

• Notice and become aware of your body, mind and spirit
• Notice your external environment and how it impacts on you
• Be objective in regards to your internal and external environments, pass no judgment on what you discover
• Become aware of the behavioral patterns you run, and notice how it affects you and those around you
• Use all your senses to become aware of what is going on around you
• Learn from what you discover about yourself and others, then pass it on
• Become aware of nature around you, there's always a message there for you

Success

• Choose inner transformation to become who you really want to be (it might be a more peaceful you)
• Count your achievements in all facets of life - no matter how big or how small
• There is no greater motivation than success, the more success you have at doing something the greater your motivation
• Persist in growing and success will find you
• Become comfortable with the uncomfortable
• On waking each morning decide to make your day count
• Change what doesn't work for you

There's another extremely important ingredient that I believe and know, brings us to Clarity, Awareness and Success, and that is inner peace. 

From my personal experience whenever I access this state of being, ideas flow freely - and with great clarity; mind chatter settles down and I hear only what it is I need to hear; deep calm is experienced; my connection with and to spirit is open and clear; and deep contentment is achieved.  It's much like going to my 'happy place'.  There is also warmth that comes from the heart and profound silence (meditation helps).
 
Please note: Harp playing angels on white fluffy clouds (although exceptionally amazing) have nothing to do with the peace I'm talking about on this page.  The peace I'm talking about is somewhere inside you whether you're in the boardroom or in the bedroom. 

Step No 1 - To start the change process easily begin at the beginning - it's important to be at peace with yourself first.

• It makes a huge difference to the way we look at life when coming from a peace state!
• The next step is all about perception.  A fresh outlook on life can turn dark into light, and despair into peace.

Step No 2 -  Changing your perspective on life is the next step, and can be easy and simple - depending on how you look at it.

• Peace sometimes weaves in and out like a breeze, the same goes for happiness, humour, doubt, motivation etc.  It's therefore very important to work on maintaining inner peace on a daily basis.

Step No 3 -  Maintain your peace state every day to produce the best results!

*Use affirmations, meditation, and self coaching tools - they're all drug free!

• Money, career and love - all of these are possible by starting with Step 1, 2 then 3.

• If there's something missing in your life - determine what it is by asking some simple questions.  Once you gain greater clarity on what it is - go for it.  Ask yourself what's stopping you? How can you get around this?
