Conceive and Believe

1. Choose your one thing

Be sure to keep it to just one thing, at least for now. Many people get bogged down by trying to do too many things at once, get discouraged and quit. Just one thing for now.

2. Create a plan

Be sure to write it down. Don’t just keep it in your head. The weakest ink is better than the strongest memory, everytime.

If you don’t know how to create a plan or what to put into a plan, find someone who does. Helpful people are out there, you do need to ask, however.

3. Put your plan into action

A great plan with no action is only that, a great plan.

No action equals no results.

4. Follow through

Lack of follow through is as deadly as procrastination, if not more so.

Lack of follow through can result from something as simple as forgetting of something as complex as a fear of success.

A sure way to make sure you follow through is to do something each day that supports your one thing. This kind of consistent follow through builds a strong momentum. Once you have a strong momentum propelling you forward, enemies such as procrastination and lack of follow throuhg lose their power.

An extra tip

Here’s an extra tip just for fun:

Once you have decided on you one thing, make sure to take at least one action toward that goal before your head hits the pillow that same night.

The human will is the most incredible thing. I believe it is the human will that keeps us going, when everyone else expects us to sit, or even quit. I have always been fascinated by the heroes and sheroes who have made indelible marks in world history; and illustrated distinguished triumphs over seemingly, insurmountable adversity.

I can vividly recall reading about Wilma Rudolph when I was in grade school. Her life epitomized, “breaking through limitations.” Over the last three decades, I have thought about Wilma when so-called, “limitations” presented themselves in my own life. I think of Wilma, and I am passionately reminded of the amazing power of the human will.

Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely and weighed only 4.5 pounds. Most of her childhood was spent in St. Bethlehem, Tennessee. There, she was bedridden as she battled double pneumonia, scarlet fever and polio. At six years old, she lost the use of her left leg. Subsequently, she was fitted with leg braces. Later on in life, she was often quoted as saying: “I spent most of my time trying to get them off. (I had an uncompromising resolve) to be a normal kid.”

At the age of 16, when she was only a sophomore in high school, The 5′ 11″ Wilma Rudolph won a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia. And, in the 1960 Rome Olympics, Rudolph became “the fastest woman in the world.” She also was the first American woman to win three gold medals in one Olympics. She won the 100-and 200-meter races; and also anchored the U.S. team to victory in the 4 x 100-meter relay, breaking records along the way.

Wilma Rudolph is remembered by family and admirers alike, for her incredible calm and graceful demeanor when under pressure. Valiantly and brilliantly, she removed all of her “struggles” during the course of her lifetime. She once said: “The most important aspect is to be yourself and have confidence in yourself … triumph can’t be had without a struggle.”

In 1994, Wilma Rudolph died of brain cancer at the age 54. Few would argue that she lived a full, purposeful, and triumphant life. Rudolph expected victory when just about everyone else would have understood if she’d just lay down, sit or even quit. Thank you, Wilma, for being the contrary.

Make a game out of reaching your goals

Go to a yard sale and pick up a cheap board game, if you don’t have any “throw away” games at home.  Sit down and brainstorm a way to transform the game into goal-completion fun.  Use contact paper to cover the old instructions or commands, and write in new ones with a permanent marker.  Use stickers, arts and craft supplies, etc., to dress up the game to fit your needs.  Then set the game up somewhere out of the way to play on an on-going fashion until you reach your goal.

Use drinking games as a source of inspiration - for example, you might decide that whenever David Letterman takes a sip from his mug during his show, you have to do a set of crunches or iron a piece of clothing. 

Create a “Wheel of Fortune” spinner (you can re-decorate an old board game spinner) and spin it every morning to discover your mini-goal for the day. 

Set up a “game board” on the fridge and move magnetic pieces that represent various goals ahead one square for every task or mini-goal you complete on the way to the big finale. 

If several of you are working toward a common goal, hold casino nights at home or at work, where you bet goal-related tasks (keeping score on paper) and forfeit what you lose.  For instance, if you have bet twenty crunches, a mile’s walk and skipping two desserts on a losing hand of poker, you have to do everything you bet.  You can also write such tasks on poker chips with permanent marker and then claim the forfeits you have in your stash after the game ends during the period between games.

Combine two or more examples for real fun!

As a professional speaker, father and business owner I often like to share personal experiences and lessons I have learnt with others. It is with pride and pleasure I share one with you today – the ‘Recipe for Living’.

I was privileged to travel to Sydney recently with my family to be help celebrate my father being made a Member of the Order of Australia.

He was awarded an AM for his service to medicine, especially developing innovative courses in general practice and medicine.

As District Medical Officer in the highlands of Papua New Guinea he discovered the disease pigbel. Known as ‘Belly on Fire’ and associated with sporadic pigfeasting, it killed thousands, especially children. It is now controlled by vaccination.

He was the foundation Chair of Community Medicine at the University of Adelaide, a post he held for nearly 20 years.

In Adelaide he pioneered teaching health centres at St Agnes, Ingle Farm and The Parks and developed additional general practice teaching units at Highbury and Modbury Hospitals.

Always a lateral thinker, he came up with a ‘Recipe for Living’.

This hung on his wall in his surgery for years, with many patients asking for a copy.

With his permission, I wanted to share with you his 10 insights on making the most of life.

MIND OVER MATTER

1. Reason to believe

2. Believe in yourself

3. Set limits

4. Tackle one thing at a time

5. Daily lifestyle - relax, exercise, diet, meditation

PEACE OF MIND

1. Be loved by someone

2. Someone to love

3. Something to do

4. Something to look forward to

5. Sharing the joy of others

He also came up with the ‘Networking Flower of Contentment’ which involves self identity, family bonds, spiritual bonds, community bonds, sporting bonds, recreation bonds and work bonds.

A man whose thinking was always ahead of time, I am one very proud son.

I’m getting calls from folks who say, “I hear you moved to a very small town. I’m thinking of doing the same. What’s it really like?”

1. Check out your town’s unique personality.

Do your research — and don’t stop with the internet. Talk to people who live there.
Ask who stays and who leaves.

2. Investigate housing prices.

Expecting a bargain? As retirees flood an area, prices rise, especially if there are natural limits to expansion. If prices are low and houses are hard to sell, the local rental market may be tight.

3. Be prepared to be active in your new community.

Often friendships develop from belonging to groups: Chamber of Commerce, churches, hiking — whatever interests you. Volunteering may be the norm.

4. Be self-sufficient.

“Be good at entertaining yourself:” that’s what many small town dwellers identify as the secret to small town happiness.

5. Identify your “must haves” before loading the truck.

Crave an occasional espresso? Fresh-baked bread? A nearby shopping mall?

Check your destination to see what’s available. Inevitably, there will be some wonderful options you didn’t expect — and some favorites will be missing.

6. Bring an independent source of income with you.

Jobs may be scarce. If you work for a local company, you may have trouble finding a new job if something goes wrong.

And since people know each other, you can get branded as “difficult” more easily.

7. Be flexible.

No matter how careful your research, you will have surprises. It may never occur to you to ask, “Do you have…”

Customs vary widely when it comes to social life, real estate transactions, and more.

8. Stay in touch with your previous life.

Use email and phone to stay connected to friends, family, and even big city newspapers. Encourage friends to visit. In the long run, you will probably get
comfortable faster than if you bury your past and try to “go it alone.”

9. Expect small-town dwellers to be more sophisticated these days.

Many newcomers are retirees, fleeing from big city life, and others have lived and traveled all over the world.

10. Bring the dog.

Your dog will probably enjoy the fresher air, slower pace and larger yard. Your dog’s happiness will be contagious. And dogs help you make friends and enjoy life as you explore your new home.

Now, I am not one of those who are going to tell you that in order to have a great life, you have to tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth, all day and every day, so help you God. That’s flat out impossible and not a little bit wrong. The little white lies that allow us to avoid hurting one another, the ability to leave out parts of an otherwise honest assessment that are irrelevant and potentially destructive and the ability to know something true and not say anything at all, because it is neither our business nor our place to do so, are vital skills that help create a great life, rather than preclude it.

Rather, truth in this case means knowing what is good and honest and true about yourself and your life. It is knowing what is authentic for you, what upholds your integrity and what diminishes it. It is understanding what is true for you in any situation and understanding as well that this may not be true for anyone else involved in the same situation - and that this variance in truth is both expected and valid. It is about not lying to yourself (and you’ll know when you do, if you allow yourself to look hard enough). It is about knowing when it is right to take a stand on an issue of importance to you, and when it is better to compromise or give in to preserve the peace or support another’s success. It is about grasping the truth that love is the foundation of the Universe and that all else is either decoration or distraction - and knowing when you’re acting in denial of this reality.

How are you living in truth? How are you in denial of it? What can you do to center your life more firmly around truth, integrity and authenticity? Truth is not always easy, especially when we are so good at justification and otherwise diminishing cognitive dissonance (the jarring tension between how we act and what we know to be right) in our lives. But truth is worth it, and we cannot lead lives of greatness without it. Greatness depends on truth and truth, greatness. Neither exists where the other fails.

During moments of helplessness, there is always one thing that can be done to make us feel more purposeful: pray. Contrary to traditional prayer poses, we don’t have to spend hours on our knees with hands steepled before us. Prayer can actually be a wonderful, calming, energizing, yet comfortable activity. Sit or lie in any position you wish. Arrange yourself as if you were preparing for a long chat with a close friend.

Though prayer can mean different things to different people, most of us would agree that prayer is simply talking to God. But many don’t realize that prayer is actually a lot more pro-active than simply talking! When we pray, we are actually setting certain forces into motion. Prayers are thoughts. Thoughts are energy. Energy has power. When we pray, we are purposely setting energy into motion.

Prayer is much more than just “asking for something.” Prayer is affirming, visualizing, and having faith that certain circumstances are sure to follow. Remember that God also gave us the ability to create. We create every single day. We use our bodies and minds to generate money (a form of energy) to support our families. Men and women come together to create new life. Artists take a blank canvas and create a breathtaking vision of beauty. For human beings, creating is the simplest form of expression. The most difficult part is deciding what to create and then having the discipline to form our thoughts in that direction.

How does this process of creation apply to victims of a disaster? Beyond the obvious physical necessities of food, water, clothing and shelter, what do these people need the most? They need comfort. They need peace. They need to know that everything is going to be okay again, even though their entire world has just been turned upside down. They are grieving for lost loved ones, homes, friends, jobs, neighbors and so much more. They weathered the storm, they are lucky to be alive, but now what?

Now they begin the slow process of building another life for themselves, which is a frightening thing to do. We are creatures of habit. We like our comfortable, familiar routines. The unknown is scary. And the only thing I’ve found that can reduce fear is FAITH. But so many of these people are without faith right now. They’ve lost everything, including hope. We need to send our own faith to help them, huge chunks of faith, swaddled in love and borne on the wings of prayer.

How exactly do we do this? Whether you are a spiritual practitioner or not, whether you are a religious person or not, remember that prayers are simply thoughts. Send positive thoughts. Visualize the victims, individually or as a collective group, and surround them with love, peace, comfort, strength and healing. Make it real, make it strong, make it a powerful vision. The more energy you put into it, the more energy that WILL go into it.

Maybe you have doubts about how well this really works. Do it anyway. Put your doubt aside for a few moments, and pretend it will work. Or do an internet search on the Power of Prayer, and read about the many studies that have been done on this topic. I think you’ll be surprised by some of the results.

The strongest benefit of this type of purposeful prayer is that it reduces our feelings of powerlessness. It reminds us that we can co-create with God to make this world a better place, to help our fellow man, and ourselves. Though we may feel powerless much of the time, we are in control of a lot more than we might think.

Will praying for people make all of their trials vanish instantly? Probably not. But what if we can give them something more than the basic necessities of life? What if we can somehow pass along the will to get through another day, the strength to face their grief, and the courage to start over? Isn’t that worth the effort? I think so.

James 2: 17…faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied by action, is dead. 24You see
that a person is justified by what he does
and not by faith alone.

It has been my experience in coaching people
to finding their life’s purpose, generally,
actually FINDING their purpose is a simple
process. But, helping them to actually taking
that first step into doing something about
LIVING their purpose has been challenging.

Let me tell you a story about Susan.

After working with Susan for a few days,
it was evident by her talents, passions
and abilities that she was meant to write.
She was born to write. She loved it. She
told me that every since she was about 6
years old, she kept notebooks in which she
wrote stories and poems. She never really
shared her writing with anyone. She actually
kept them private. Her family had never even
read her writing. They knew she loved to
write and knew that she had notebooks that
she carried around with her all the time and
was always scribbling something down. But
they never showed any interest or ever even
asked her to read any of her stories. So,
she has spent most of her life, hiding her
talents under a bushel.

After a lot of pleading and persuasion,
I finally convinced her to share some of
her work with me. She finally agreed and
I was blown away. Her work was touching,
moving and inspiring. She was a true writer,
yet, no one other than herself and now, me,
was even aware of her talents.

I was dumbfounded. Why are you hiding your
talent? Why haven’t you put this information
into booklet form and shared your talents with
the world–or at least with your immediate family?

Susan’s answer to me was that she has only
planned to put it into book form. She had been
inspired, on numerous occasions to share her
writing with others, but she never got around
to doing it. Her days are filled with work,
coming home and taking care of her husband and
children, and pets and on the weekend she has
to clean the house, the yard, run children from
one event to the other—she simply have never found
the time to do so. She wants to and agrees with
me that she is extremely talented, and one day
she is going to take me up on my suggestion.

I gave her a complete outline of suggestions
on what to do. I suggested that she find magazines
she wishes to write for and find their
Article Submission requirements and submit
some of her articles. I suggested that she
contact ezine producers and submit her articles
to them and even though she will probably not
get paid for her articles, it is good publicity
and can help to get her writing out there. I
also suggested that she start her own ezine
where she can write what she likes and get
people to subscribe who will enjoy her articles.
Another suggestion was that she submit her
articles to the millions of web sites that
simply host articles and I gave her a few
she could start with.

About a month after speaking with Susan,
I contacted her like I do with most people
that I deal with in any way—just to see how
things are happening in their life. I was
convinced that when I contacted Susan she
would have exciting news about the many
places her articles were being published
and perhaps she had taken the step to even
writing her own book.

But what I discovered when I contacted Susan
was that she hadn’t done any of the things I
had suggested. She thought about it on numerous
occasions and had planned to spend sometime
gathering the information. She knows that she
should do something but she simply hasn’t done
anything yet. But she will. She will get to it
this weekend because she has a lot of time on Saturday.

I didn’t say anything to Susan except quote
James 2: Faith, by itself, if not accompanied
by action, is dead.

Susan had the faith that her writing was wonderful.
She believed that she had something to offer the
world. She was convinced that she could serve
others by giving them joy by sharing her gift of writing.

But Susan had done what so many of us have done.
We know our talents. We know the gifts that God
has given to us. We can feel it.

BUT WE DON’T TAKE ACTION!

Why don’t we take action?

This is a very personable question.

Why aren’t YOU taking action?

Why are you hiding your talents under a bushel?

Why aren’t you using the abilities that God
has blessed you with to serve his people?

What excuses are you telling yourself to
justify your lack of action?

Is it that you don’t have the time?

Perhaps it’s that you need to study more
before you take action?

Maybe you want to wait until the time is right.

That’s the same as saying, “We are waiting until
the time is right to start our family.”

The time is NEVER right. The time is RIGHT NOW!

ACTION POINT: TODAY, not tomorrow, not next month,
not next Monday, not after the holidays, not on
January 1 — TODAY make the decision to TAKE ACTION.
Do SOMETHING. ANYTHING. It doesn’t matter because
SOME action is better than NO action.

If you know that your spirit is calling you to do
something, stop making excuses and start taking action.
When you make excuses, you hurt yourself and the
others that are waiting for you to bless them.

If you are a writer and your spirit is telling
you to contact a certain magazine and submit
your article—THEN DO IT.

If your spirit is leading you to speak and teach
others about discovering their gifts and talents,
THEN SPEAK. It doesn’t matter where, and, it
doesn’t matter if you get paid for it or not—
JUST SPEAK.

If your talent is to start a business and you
haven’t started on your business plan but your
spirit has been gearing you towards writing it,
yet you haven’t started, START.

I don’t care WHAT you do—JUST DO IT!
(As Nike would say.)

Not too long ago a got together with some friends for a little full court basketball, which means a lot of running. It did not take long at all for me to notice that my body was just not able to do much of what my brain was telling it to do.

My body was screaming at me that I had neglected it for too long.

Neglect - what a nasty and potentially life changing word.

When applied to our lives, neglect can look like this:

Neglect your health and, at best, you’re out of shape and embarrassed by your appearance, and, at worse, you die.

Neglect your spouse and you can wind up disconnected and divorced.

your kids and they can become unreachable strangers.

Neglect your job and you might not have one.

Neglect your spiritual life and you can begin to lose hope.

Neglect your finances and you may wind up in debt or worse.

Tips for reversing neglect

1. Identify areas of neglect - Begin by taking an objective look at your life. Do you notice any important areas that are suffering from neglect?

If you cannot find any, ask someone close to you. Those close to us can act as great mirrors, showing us things we would otherwise miss.

You may notice many things that have been neglected or left undone. At this point it can be dangerously tempting to become overwhelmed.

All you need to do is identify areas that have room for improvement. If you have identified more than one area, list them in order of importance to you and then focus on the top priority.

2. Assess the damage so you have a realistic notion of how much repair work you have to do. Then acknowledge the damage so you can break through any denial.

You can’t change a thing unless and until it becomes real for you.

One way to acknowledge and experience the results of neglect is to ask yourself:

“What will happen in the next month if I don’t get on top of this? In the next year? In five years?

Next, stop digging yourself further into a hole. In addition to ending the neglect, stop doing anything you might be doing to make matters worse.

3. Then create and implement a plan to turn things around. Sometimes turning things around can be as simple as doing the opposite of what you have been doing.

4. Make a commitment to be a good steward of whatever area of your life you have been neglecting.

For example, if you have been neglecting your physical health, then get a physical, eat less/better and exercise more.

If you have been neglecting your spouse, apologize, clean it up, plan some time together and follow through.

And remember, failing to follow through leaves you in a much worse position that you were before.

5. Celebrate your successes. This builds your momentum for the next challenge.

At the same time, however, be careful about celebrating too much. Becoming overly satisfied with yourself can quickly lead to complacency, which is one small step away from neglect.

In part one, I described an existence that is absolute, and a being of perfection that only the creator would know, this is the source of all that is, this is what many would call God.

In the physical world about as close as we could get to imagine the same reality as the creator would be within the “White Room,” experiment.

In the “White Room,” experiment you would be dressed from head to toe in white. You would somehow be suspended within a white cubical that is exactly the same shade of white. Your arms and legs are separated and fixed away from your body and your head is pointing straight up to the white ceiling. Your only movements would be with your eyes with minimal head movement.

As humans we often mistake our brain for our mind. Our brain is a processor much like a computer, but it is not our mind. Information is fed into it and it is processed in what ever manner we choose. Without input a computer does not work and likewise our brain would very quickly stop functioning.

Because everything is whited out in the room you can no longer define yourself relatively to the room, you can only rely on memory to give yourself definition. You may be able to think about your situation for a period of time but you would not be able to experience it.

Once the brain begins to shut down there would be no access to memory as it is not part of the brain, and because you can no longer distinguish any part of your body from the walls, floors or ceiling you would no longer be able to define your body as to size relative to anything. You could not judge distance to the walls or floor from ceiling. The only thing that you would know, would be what the brain could retrieve from memory and because you are no longer in an open system and being fed new information, in a very short time the brain would shut down completely.

You would know for a period of time that you existed until the memories completely faded away and eventually you would not know yourself as being anything. Such was the predicament of the creator; he/she was aware of self but could not experience himself. The only desire that the creator had was to know himself and to do that she came up with a brilliant plan.

Now back to our white room experiment.

While you are suspended in the middle of the room, someone with a marker makes a small dot on one of the walls. What was just created was time and space relative to you. Your brain now has some information to process and it starts working again. You can see the dot and can give it a name. You can also give the color a name and you can judge the size and shape of the dot and its relative position in the room to you.

Once you have defined the dot and its position in time and space, you can now start to redefine yourself relative to the dot. Your brain is becoming fully functional once again and you are now starting to experience yourself once more as something other than the dot. More things are slowly added to the room and you keep redefining yourself relative to them. The more things are added the greater and more sophisticated and complex you become. At one point you were nothing and now you are everything and everything keeps changing.

Relativity was the great life saviour for the creator. Life was created through the relationship between what the creator was not and what he was even though undefined. The word life describes this movement from what is not, to what is, to what is not. Life is about moving in the illusion of time and space, the imagined separation of the creator’s parts gives the creator life. So long as live keeps trying to find itself the creator can experience self through this movement.

The one purpose of life is to create life; in the creation of life purpose and definition are given. No life (God) tries to define itself as life through its parts, through you. The physical world is only one realm of existence within which the creator tries define itself. Humanities ego is the imagined separation from the creator; it is the dot on the wall.

As the creator tries to define itself through its parts, we do likewise. We try to give ourselves purpose and meaning in the physical world by being relative to our environment and others. We cannot give ourselves definition in a white room, so we do it through all the aspects of our physical life through the physical senses and those senses measure relativity. Hot is relative to cold, black is relative to white, happy is relative to sad, sweet is relative to bitter and so on.

Your life has no purpose other than to be. Purpose is the definition that you give to your life and is relative to nothing, which is what you truly are. You are life trying to experience life and create life and you are a process, not a thing. What you make of your life is your own choosing and that is why you have “Ego,” (separation).

Life is always free, it is unconditional and unrestricted. Life finds itself where ever life is. Ego creates its own limitations and Ego limits its imagined life. When one gets past his/her ego, he/she once again finds unlimited power and enlightenment but it can no longer experience itself physically. Ego is the only aspect of one’s being that cannot see through the illusion of physical existence.

There is no answer to what the creator is, because the creator does not know him/herself. The creator is life in progress defining and redefining itself. We are the creator in physical life, experiencing all aspects of self physically in imagined individuals or egos. Our individuality is an illusion that creates relativity in time and space.

Having this awareness should open doors for you. Within the limitation that you alone set for yourself, you have access to the power of that which created you because you are both the creator and the created. The awareness and acceptance of this is the key that opens the doors. You cannot have power until you know that you already have it. The price for ignorance and fear is no direct power over your life and its circumstances, NO REAL POWER! You may be on the bus, but you are only going along for the ride. Where you place yourself on the bus is your choice. The closer you get to the front the better the opportunity to drive it. With awareness comes opportunity, responsibility and power.
