Risk more than others think is safe

"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 This week’s quote has so much wisdom in it so we will explore it under the 4 topics that it deserves. I suggest that if you take the time over the next four weeks to focus on each of these statements you will…

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…

Are You Courageous?

"The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world." Alexander Solzhenitsyn   How often do you fail to inform another person on the truth as you see it? How often do you take the easy way out? How often do you take part in the lie?   The great people of history developed their new levels of thinking by disputing the fundamental principles of the past. Plato,…

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…

Traversing the Abyss

This week I want to further develop the thoughts on the back of last week’s discussion on letting your Quadrant 3 part go and embracing the ‘trapeze bar’ with your name on it out in front of you. This phenomena shows up so often in communication. What do you do when you are working with people and they have an objection, a question, different perspective or viewpoint to you? Do you go onto your old safe patter of what chiropractic…

Living on the Edge

Life and business can feel like a series of high wire trapeze swings. Imagine yourself either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments at a time hurtling through space in between the trapeze bars. Most of the time we are tightly hanging on to our trapeze-bar-of-the-moment. It carries you along at a certain steady rate of swing and you have the feeling that you’re in control of your life. You know most of the…

Lessons in Leadership

I have had the pleasure of exploring South Africa over the past few weeks and I wanted to express some of my observations and related opinions of this colourful and contrasting land and people. I visited Soweto today and immersed myself in the journey of this young country and its numerous ‘growing pains’ over the last 150 years. There have been many justifiably aggrieved parties, most of all the blacks and coloureds. There have been numerous atrocities committed against all…

Being Grateful for All

Here is another episode of the conversation that began a number of weeks ago regarding the transformational leaps that you can make when you enrol the four essential life principles within the in8model®. These principles help to align your perspective and inspire profound transformation. It doesn’t take swinging from a trapeze or jumping off a cliff to make transformational leaps in your life. You have opportunities to do every second of the day – everyday. When you immerse yourself in…

Change your Brain and Transform your Life – Part 2

Consider the process of transformation that is evident with the emergence of a beautiful butterfly coming out of a syrupy chrysalis. This is the transformative process that began as a little caterpillar. Each step of this transformation in nature requires a leap of faith and total commitment as the old gives way to the new and exits in a totally new form. So it is in your life, relationships and world. You are constantly changing. In a state of growth…
