Expect More Than Possible

"Excellence can be attained if you... Care more than others think is wise. Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible." - Jim Gentil Here’s the fourth comment on Jim Gentil’s quote on Excellence. I suggest that if you take the time over the next week to focus on each of these statements you will see major changes occur for yourself and your practice. Expecting more than…

Achieving Integrity in Your Life – Part 2

Values – where they help or harm you. Last week I left you with the suggestion that you cannot NOT be in Integrity. I posed the question; “Is your current expression of your integrity what you want”? “Would you like it to be giving you something more or less, something different or something better”? I trust that you have considered this question over the week and have done an audit on what you are “Being”. You may have identified and…

Eating Elephants

There are many obstacles that stand in your way of being able to empower those in your circle of influence. Sometimes that task seems so huge that it even seems fruitless to start. The social group-think machine of limitation is so pervasive and it has spread its tentacles into every corner of people’s minds. Regardless of your individual role in life you are in the business of getting along with others and shifting others perspective to another viewpoint. Whether you…

Bulla Venaka

The past week I have had the opportunity to enjoy some time in Fiji. Along with presenting at a conference I had time to take in the Oh So relaxed atmosphere of the Fijian lifestyle. The people are so friendly, they are chilled out and totally in the moment. The thing that really struck me was the way in which the local Fijian folk addressed all of those people who crossed their path. Wherever you go you are welcomed with…

Bring on the Stress

When people go into the weightless environment of space gravitational stress is eliminated to a large degree from their bodies. In this environment their body has nothing to push against and starts to weaken, muscles start to atrophy and bones start to demineralise. The innate intelligence within us all needs forces, commonly known as tropisms to grow to. Without opposing forces we shrivel and die. The avoidance of stress is endemic in our society. We have developed a culture that…

Bring Out The Mongrel In You

With the preferred Quadrant for many people being Quadrant 3 there can be a challenge in bringing out the tough love when it counts. As caring, sharing, supportive and nurturing person these qualities are what set the Quadrant 3 preference up for success in their respective field. There are times, however when this style is counter-productive and it is appropriate to adopt a different style. Quantum physics states that for every positron there is an electron, and if there is…

Which Way to Move Part 2

On the back of our discussion from last week we considered the direction people move – TOWARDS what they want and AWAY from what they don’t want. I contend that most ‘Helpers’ move towards what they want and assume that their clients do the same. This assumption leads to frustration as people drop out prematurely and fail to follow through with long term plans that will optimise their life. Many people who you encounter in life are more motivated by…
