Your Inner Beliefs

Your Inner Beliefs  
“The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be
found to reflect their inner beliefs.”
James Lane Allen, American Novelist   
   
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Your inner beliefs

You will fly as high as your inner beliefs tell you that you can . . . . or it will anchor us to the ground.

Your inner beliefs silently work in the background of your subconscious mind . . . . and become an attitude of possibility and opportunity. Or it becomes an attitude of why even make the effort to try?

Your inner beliefs are the foundation for the way you think and will become the nucleus for your actions . . . . and the results that you achieve.

The way you think and your inner beliefs is a habit. Over time you have programmed your thinking to be exactly what it is today. The good news is if you don’t like the way you’re thinking you can reprogram your mind . . . . and your thinking to be whatever you want it to be.

To change your thinking you have to change . . . . the habit and the patterns in the way you think.

You think in terms of pictures . . . . and we convert those pictures into thoughts. 

Visualize the pictures in your thoughts as you want them to be.

For example:

a.                    You want a new car, and you’re thinking about buying the car in the fall. The thought is vague with no clear picture of the car.

b.                     You’re thinking about buying a new 2014 white 4 door Ford Focus. The car has tan leather interior with a Bose surround sound system. The car will have a sunroof, power windows and door locks. The car will also have cruise control and GPS. You want the car delivered in October by the 15th of the month.

The picture of buying the Ford Focus is specific and the mind can process the picture of the car into a clear thought and a vision of ownership.

See the different in converting a thought into a clear vision. Thinking about the new car in terms of specifics intensifies the thoughts in to a clear vision of the desired outcome.

To create a change a habit in your thinking you have to change . . . . the information that your feeding into your mind to reflect the changes that you want to see.

Change the information that you’re feeding your mind . . . . and you will change your thinking.

Think in terms of the positive thoughts and positive change . . . . see yourself achieving your goals. See yourself prospering . . . . and in a happy relationship.

The key . . . . . is to program your mind to think in the positive.

Your mind is a storyboard . . . . and you’re the author. Write your future the way you want it to be . . . . and program that vision into you subconscious mind until it become a crystal clear vision in your thoughts.

Your inner beliefs . . . . controls your thinking . . . .  your actions . . . . and your results. Take control of your thoughts . . . . and you take control of your future . . . . and you will change your results to be a reflection of your vision.

Change What Your Doing to Change What You’re Getting


Motivational Power Quote

Change What Your Doing to Change What You’re Getting
If you keep doing what we’re doing,
We’re going to keep getting what we’re getting.”
Stephen R. Covey 1932 - 2012, American Education, Author
Businessman, Keynote Speaker

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Change what you’re doing to change what you’re getting

What we’re currently getting is a result of your thinking . . . . and what you’re currently doing.

To change what you’re getting . . . . you’ll have change your thinking and what we’re doing.

It sounds simplistic in nature . . . . but it takes a real effort to change.

What you do on a consistent basis become your habits . . . . and what you’re currently getting is a result of those ingrained habits.

Your condition your minds to think in curtain patterns . . . . and that conditioning is the foundation of your habits. By focusing your thinking on what you want to achieve . . . . and what the desired outcome will be.

You will begin to change your thinking . . . . your patterns and your habits.
 
As your thinking becomes focused you are conditioning you mind to think in new patterns . . . . which is the foundation for new habits and results.

If you want to change what you’re getting you have to change . . . . your habits.

The best way to change a habit is to replace it with a new activity . . . . one that will get you in harmony with what you want to achieve and closer to your objectives. It will take your new activity about 30 days to form the basis that will become the foundation of a new habit.

Change what you’re doing to change what you’re getting . . . . By focusing your thinking on what you want to achieve and change you habits to align with you thinking and the desired results.

Your Habits Create Your Character


Motivational Power Quote

Your Habits Create Your Character
Our character is basically a composite of our habits.
because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns,
they constantly, daily, express our character.”
Stephen R. Covey 1932 - 2012, Author, Businessman,
Keynote Speaker


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your habits create your character  

Whatever you consistently do . . . . will become a pattern in your life and become a habit . . . . and our habits become the foundation of your character.

Your character is formed in your habits . . . . and you demonstrate your character through your daily actions.

To form a strong character you have to have a direction to develop the habits . . . . and your standards and values becomes the foundation for your habits.

Your character becomes ingrained into your personally and becomes a way of life. You will routinely demonstrate your character in behavior without a conscious thought . . . . because they have been ingrained into your sub-conscious mind.

A person lives their character as part of their moral fiber and their character becomes their calling card. People can’t fake character, a person will either have it or they don’t.

Your habits create your character . . . . and habits will be formed in your choices. A person is a reflection of their character and their actions are a mirror image of their character.

The Conflict Within


Motivational Power Quote

The Conflict Within
“The greatest conflicts are not between two people,
but between one person and himself.”
Garth Brooks, Singer


As I see it. . . . . . . .

The conflict within

Our greatest conflict is the one we have with our self. We have the conflict between who we are today and who we can be.

When we’re in our comfort there is a sense of safety and we feel comfortable with our routines and habits.

The conflict arises when we realize that we are not fulfilling our potential. 

The question becomes do we leave the safety of our comfort zone and move into our possibility zone of achieving our full potential?

To become who we can be we have to develop new routines and habits.

All achievement has an element of risk and requires leaving our comfort zone behind us.

Our conflict becomes are we willing to leave our comfort zone of who we are today to achieve our full potential of who be can be?

Move into the future of who you can be with confidence and use the conflict within to achieve your full potential.

Habits Create Our Future


Motivational Power Quote

Habits Create Our Future
“If you develop the habits of success,
you will make success a habit.”
Michael E. Angier, Owner Success Network International

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Habits create our future

The habits we develop form the foundation for our future success.

Habits are those things that we routinely do. They become so ingrained within us that we continue to do them without thinking about what we’re doing.

The habits that we form and repeat will shape our life.

Forming success habits is making a choice to succeed.

A habit may start as patterns of behavior in little things that we repeat do until we turn into a best practice. Success habits become building blocks and as we stack them we create forward momentum.

In time our success habits become ingrained in our thinking, become routinely repeated and become the foundation for our success.

Motivational Power Quote
 
If We Want to Change Your Life
“If you want things to be different
perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.”
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author  


As I see it. . . . . . . .

If we want to change your life

Changing your life is a personal choice reinforced by your actions to make your future difference from what your life is today.

To change our life we will need a crystal clear vision of what we want our life to be in the future.

We first have to make the decision that we want change. Then we take the actions to bring the changes we want to our life.

Things only become difference when we become difference and commit ourselves to change.

To create lasting change we have to change our approach to how we think and how we respond to our daily activities.

Focus on your strengths that will become the foundation for a successful future and support the changes that you seek.

Remove any habits or activities that create a road blocks or will delay you from achieving the changes that your committed to making.

When you know where you want to go you will have a target to aim for. Commit yourself to positive change you change your world.

If you want to change in your life you have to become the change that you want to see.

Repeated Actions Creates Habits


Motivational Power Quote
 

Repeated Actions Creates Habits
“Repeat anything often enough
and it will start to become you.”
Tom Hopkins, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Repeated Actions Creates Habits   

We create our habits through our actions; the more that we repeatedly do something the faster that act becomes a habit.

Habits are those things that we repeatedly do until they become an ingrained habit and become a dominant thought in our subconscious mind.

Those thoughts send a signal to our brain and we react to that thought without thinking. 

Invest your day in positive actions that reinforces your vision of success.  Put positive input into your thinking to achieve positive results.

Positive Thinking + Positive Action = Success

Your repeated actions creates habits.

Your Past is the Indicator of Your Future


Motivational Power Quote


Your Past is the Indicator of Your Future
“The past is the best prophet of the future.”
Lord Byron, poet


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your past is the indicator of your future

Your past has the tendency to repeat itself.  

If we want to change your future we have to change your thinking so not to repeat the way things happened in the past that got us to where you are today.

What has happen in the past is based on your thinking, habits and your attitude.

To change the future you have to change your thinking, remove old unproductive habits and change your attitude.

Think in terms of achieving your goals and what can be possible and peruse them in your thinking and actions.

Change your old habits of limited believes to the habits of unlimited opportunities. 

You past is the indicator of your future until you change it.

Don’t Waste Your Energy

Motivational Power Quote


Don’t Waste Your Energy

“Feeling sorry for yourself,
and your present condition,
is not only a waste of energy
but the worst habit you
could possibly have.”
Dale Carnegie, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Don’t waste your energy.


If things are not going the way you would like them to be; don’t feel sorry for yourself find a way to change the condition.


It’s a waste of your time and energy to feel sorry about yourself; take action and invest you energy in positive change.


Feeling sorry for yourself creates a habit that takes you away from your goals and objectives and will lead you down the path of being unhappy; it becomes one of the worst habits you can form.


If you recognize that you have formed habit of feeling sorry for yourself, it’s the first step in correcting the habit.

Drop Your Bad Habits

Motivational Power Quote



Drop Your Bad Habits

“The best way to break a habit
is to drop it.”
Leo Aikman


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Drop your bad habits.


We do it without thinking; it’s a habit.


Habits are routines that we developed over time that will either make our life productive or create a negative influence.


Most of our habits are positive that makes our life better as result of forming those habits.


At times bad habits drift into our life. If bad habits are allowed to continue and not addressed the habits have a negative influence on our daily life.


Once you realize that you have bad habits, drop them.


It will take a commitment on your part to drop the habit. Focus on dropping the habit everyday with a deadline to remove the habit. It will take 21 days to change a habit and drop it.


Expand your good habits and expand the positive influences in your life.

Break Your Bad Patterns

Motivational Power Quote

Break Your Bad Patterns
“When patterns are broken new worlds emerge.”
Tuli Kupferberg, author and poet


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Break your bad patterns.

Patterns are our habits and they have been formed over time until they become comfortable. Habits are not always productive, they’re comfortable and we default to those patterns because of the comfort and they are easy to do.

When we break old patterns a new world emerges as we venture away from our comfort zone. We discover a world that we never knew and we find we’re capable of doing things we never did before.

In the world of change we find unlimited opportunity and it all started when we broke old unproductive patterns and replaced them with a new pattern.

You will make success a habit.”

As I see it. . . . . . . .
Success; make it a habit.

We all are creatures of our habits and what we most often do we become.

The habit’s we create today will form our future. The quality of our habits will determine the quality of our future.

Behavior is a Window into the Person

Motivational Power Quote


Behavior is a Window into the Person


“You can’t talk your way out of
what you’ve behaved yourself into.”
Stephen R. Covey, author and speaker


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Behavior is a window into the person.

Behavior is a choice, and your choices can be based on a number of things including integrity, moral values, character and habits.

People will judge us by what we do. They will judge us on our behavior far more than by what we say. Our behavior forms the way people will see us.

Based on the way people see us they will make a choice, if they trust us or if they will do business with us.

Poor or bad behavior sets up a negitive environment that we can’t talk our way out of. We own the results of our behavior.

We are on stage and will be judged by our behavior. Put your best foot forward and conduct yourself in a way you want others to see you.

Have your behavior lead the way on your success journey.
