Get Out of your Comfort Zone
Friday, February 5th, 2010

Every human being has critical need for spiritual growth. It’s what drives the human race to continue to develop. We can’t restrict it or fight it because it’s what nature requires of us. As children it comes naturally. All children have an insatiable thirst for knowledge because it’s their natural instinct to grow spiritually.

Somehow as we become adults and we take on responsibility we subconsciously restrict our growth through emotions like fear and often people become stuck in a bland situation where results are predictable and there is no opportunity to learn and experience new things. The feelings of frustration that people in this situation experience come from the fact that their natural instinct is to take on some uncertainty in the quest for more knowledge and experience.

To become successful you have to allow your soul the opportunity to develop the drive to succeed. This will come naturally when you step outside your comfort zone and try something new. As you allow yourself to experience new things your mind will naturally open up to possibilities you never dreamed of. This will help you to build the confidence to overcome the negative emotions which currently hold you back.

It’s true that the comfort zone will safely transport you to the end of you if that’s all you wish to achieve.

The fact that you have come to this website tells you that you are looking for something more than that. The fact is that it takes a lot more strength to hold down your natural instinct for growth than to let go and open your mind up to the endless possibilities for the direction your life could take.

Nature is a powerful force and is designed to make you flourish so there is nothing to be afraid of and absolutely no reason to restrict it.

Bye for now

Are you Performing at your Best?
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Katie and I attended a seminar in Brisbane last year where a highly motivated speaker was giving a presentation on maximising your performance.

He singled out a lady in the crowd and asked what she does for a living. She replied she was a real estate agent. When asked if she believed she was performing at her best she said “Yes, of course!”

He then asked how many properties she sold per month and she said between eight and ten depending on the market. He asked if she had children and yes, she had two daughters. The next part of this exchange was confronting but designed to demonstrate a point.

His question to her was “if I abducted one of your two daughters and told you that if you didn’t sell 20 properties this month you would never see them again, could you do it?”

You could plainly see the conviction on her face when she replied “Yes! I would!” to which he replied “but you just told me you were performing at your best and could only sell 10”.

This may seem ridiculous, but the point is that her answer was admission that she could do better if the stakes were higher.

This demonstrates that if you have the desire to raise the stakes of what you want your life to become you can achieve a lot more than you currently do.

As you achieve the goals you set, continue to raise the stakes and there is no limit to what you can achieve.

Bye for now
