Problems Are A Sign of Life

If you don't have any problems, then you are probably dead. Instead of focussing on problems as something negative, consider the challenge of creating better problems.

"The secret is not to solve all our problems; rather it’s to learn to see them as gifts - an opportunity to learn, grow and give more to those around us. After all, it’s how we deal with our problems that ultimately determines the quality of our lives. Remember perception is power. Sometimes our so-called “problems” turn out to be the greatest blessings of our lives." - Anthony Robbins

"There is a powerful, driving force inside every human being that once unleashed, can make any vision, dream or desire a reality." - Anthony Robbins

Antonia Harrison 2008 from Personal Development in the 21st Century and The Secret and Law of Attraction .

When "I Wish" Becomes "I Will"

"The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will.' Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities."

- David Copperfield, Magician

"I wish I could lose weight."
"I wish I could stop smoking."
"I wish I could exercise regularly."
"I wish I could read a book a week."
"I wish I had more customers."
"I wish I could visit my family in Australia."
"I wish I could afford to send my children to the best school."
"I wish I could speak Spanish, type faster, bake cakes, prune my roses ..."
"I wish I could give up my job and work for myself."

So what is stopping you?

YOU.

We all have the same 24 hours per day and roughly the same number of brain cells combined with physical and mental capability. The difference is what we do with these resources. Other people are turning the "I wish" into "I will" and so can you.

When Anthony Robbins was at his lowest point in his life, 38 lbs overweight, living in one room and working as a janitor, he realised that things would only change if he changed. He made a commitment to read one personal development book every day. Was that easy? Probably not. Did it require sacrifice, dedication and self-control? No question. Has the effort paid off? Millions of times over.

The only way you will turn the "I wants" into reality is when they become a must which converts into a "I will". When you want something badly enough, you will have to plan how to turn the possibility into a probability. Only when the pain of not having something becomes greater than the pleasure of the alternative can you start to achieve your goals.

From 1983-85, I studied a professional qualification in Advertising & Marketing by correspondence for two years on top of a full-time job from 8.30am to 6pm. I went home and made dinner so that I was ready to start studying at 7pm and kept going until 11pm, five nights a week. Did I have other places to be? Yes. Did I have friends inviting me to join them? Yes. Did I miss a lot socially? Yes. Might I have missed interesting TV programmes? Yes, but I did not have a TV at the time so avoided that distraction. At the end of two years I was offered an interesting and challenging job with a major US advertising agency working on one of the world's top advertising clients. That was my pay-off for the sacrifice.

When "I wish I could learn to ski" becomes "I must learn to ski because it is a healthy sport in the fresh air surrounded by beautiful scenery and my sister has asked us to join her family next winter", you have taken the first step to making ski-ing a reality. Write down the reasons why you must have or do something then post them where you can see them everyday. You might need resources like money to do a training course, money you do not currently have spare in which case I suggest you learn how the Law of Attraction can bring into your life whatever you desire once you know how to apply the science.

A brief Biography of Anthony Robbins

Tony was born on 29th February 1960, a birthday he should only celebrate every leap year. He often talks about his mother having several partners and he having several fathers during his upbringing. The Robbins family often did not have much money and he has talked about charity being offered to them on ThanksGiving.

Anthony Robbins has always been big in stature, but also big on goals too. By his late teens he had already found himself studying NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) with John Grinder, one of the founders of NLP. He did this by just pure determination and not accepting a no for an answer so that John finally agreed to show him the skills. Still in his late teens he developed his own diamond method and became very popular in helping peoples' fears and phobias.

He was labelled the "Wonder Kid" and was even written about in the national press and was earning some quite substantial money for someone of his age. But with success came self destruction and soon after, Anthony Robbins found himself sitting in a bachelor pad, overweight and where his biggest priority was to watch general Hospital on TV.

He describes a friend coming around to his apartment and convincing him that he was wasting his life away as the turning point at this stage. Anthony clearly had the tools and skills; he just was choosing not to demand more from himself. From this day he never looked back.

Robbins' big break came in Canada, where on a local radio station he challenged that he could cure anyone with a phobia or fear instantly. He was challenged by a local Physiologist who had a patient he had been working on for years and had never been able to cure her. That night on stage at a local hotel, many people had turned up to see this dual between Robbins and the physiologist. So many, that the audience was forced to stand around the walls. The patient had been afraid of snakes and nothing that she had tried in the past had worked. Tony used his skills that he had learnt with NLP and a bit of entertainment too and sure enough, within seconds, this lady was quite happy to have snakes around her.

The publicity from this event sent Tony’s career forward at an incredible speed as everyone wanted a piece of Robbins' knowledge and skills. With one year Anthony was a multimillionaire living in a castle above the cliffs of California. His books became instant best sellers and his motivational tapes were sold over the world and became the best selling motivational tapes ever. Tony was pretty much elevated to superstar status.

He now found himself helping the rich and famous. Names that publicly support Tony’s work are Michael Douglas, Andre Agassi, Quincy Jones and countless more. He has also been associated with 2 presidents, Nelson Mandela and even Princess Diana. Clearly a seriously impressive portfolio! But at his peak, Anthony was to disappoint his fans by announcing his divorce from his wife of many years Becky. Becky had appeared on many of his tapes, had a book dedicated to her, but what really upset his followers was that his divorce seemed to contradict his teachings in his books and tapes. He had often used his relationship with Becky to show that people are different and that happy relationships can be formed and can be lasting if you follow some of Anthony’s lessons.

Although some people never forgave Tony for these events, most people moved on from this realising that Tony is just as human as everyone else and happiness has to be the major factor of life. Becky apparently is still a friend with Robbins and she still works at one of his companies.

Robbins used the lessons from his own divorce, to put into his seminars and books to make him more popular than ever and now with his new wife is as active as he ever was.

Now in his forties, he sleeps only a few hours a day, has relentless energy and never accepts anything less than the best. Even after his seminars, which often finish at the early hours of the morning, he still goes to work to find out what he could have done better. Of course there are still those who criticise him and what he teaches and even those who think he is a fraud. But you cannot deny that Anthony Robbins has had an extraordinary life and like him or love him, extremely successful.

What Can a Seagull Teach Us?

In 1972, I was introduced to "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach. This simple story was of a seagull who believed there was more to flying than simply diving for food but rather chose to perfect his flying, stretching his limits to achieve more and more. The little book can be read in less than an hour. The film is set to beautiful music by Neil Diamond, also available on CD.



I went on to read most of Richard Bach's books and gained something from all of them. I just came across this quote in a hypnotherapy book:

"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it however."
- Richard Bach (Illusions)

This reminds me of another quote,
"The only place success comes before work is in a dictionary."So, we can dream, we can set goals but then need a plan of action. It is impossible to learn a language without taking classes and copying speakers of that language. It is impossible to become proficient in any skill without practice.

I believe we can achieve anything we set our mind to but it takes inspiration and perspiration on our part. A goal, action and commitment will produce a result.

"Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided." - Anthony Robbins

Jim Rohn on the Importance of Reading

When I met Geert Conard the other night at an Ecademy Belgium workshop, he reminded us of the importance of reading. Particularly anything which takes us out of our comfort zone or challenges our beliefs such as his example of "The DaVinci Code".

Anthony Robbins says that he used to read a book a day when he started his path of learning. He refers to the teachings of Jim Rohn who I first came across at a seminar to Herbalife distributors in the '90s. He wrote, "I truly believe Jim Rohn is an extraordinary human being whose philosophy can enhance the quality of life for anyone who exposes themselves to it. He certainly had a positive impact on me at a time in my life when I was first forming the philosophies that guide me today."

Here are a few of Jim Rohn's quotes:
"Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom."

"For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to get better."

BOOKS/LIBRARY/READING
"Books are what you step on to take you to a higher shelf. The higher your stack of books, the higher the shelf you can reach."

"Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book. Some people claim that it is okay to read trashy novels because sometimes you can find something valuable in them. You can also find a crust of bread in a garbage can, if you search long enough, but there is a better way."

"Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it."

"The book you don't read won't help."

"It isn't what the book costs; it's what it will cost if you don't read it."

I hope this inspires you to dust off some books you have been meaning to read. If you have never read or listened to Jim, I strongly recommend that you do.
