One Of Those Days

One Of Those Days


<br /> One Of Those Days<br />


Have you ever had “one of those days”?

You know the kind when everything appears to be going wrong. You’re late for a meeting and all the closest parking spots are gone. You decide to go out of your way to get another thing off the “to do” list only to find when you get to your destination you don’t have with you what you need. You run out of gas on the way home because you decided not to get gas before the meeting that you were running late for. There’s no one to call to come get you…and do you really want to in this circumstance?

Just a little embarrassing. So you decide to walk. It’s about 10 degrees below seasonal temperature and the north winds are blowing. We’ve all had “those days”. As I was walking, I thought to myself how grateful I was that the sun was shining. I thought how grateful I was that I made it not too far from home and that I can now walk off the 6 almonds that I just ate. I thought how grateful I was that I was wearing my running shoes and not my three-inch heel boots. I thought how grateful I was that I had nowhere else pressing to be within the next couple hours.

The wind stopped momentarily and I felt the warmth of the sun on my legs. I rounded the last bend and the winds roared once again. I thought how grateful I was that l had my house key since I left the garage opener in the vehicle. I unlocked the door and the phone rang. I had just received wonderful news that I had been waiting for! Have you been grateful today?

Change Your Story

Changing Your Story, What’s it all about?

We would like to suggest that before you start reading this blog, you head over and watch Richard Kaye’s video where the inspiration for this blog came from. It is an eye opening video that had a massive impact on myself and we are hoping the same will happen for you. Here is the link Richard Kaye: Change Your Story.

When Richard shared this valuable piece of advise, I wrote it down and knew that this would be a valuable tool to help people overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles they face. So what is the “Change Your Story” all about?

The way that I took it and was later explained in further detail by Dr. Kaye is like this: We all come to a conclusion on every aspect, conversation, situation, argument, circumstance, and happening in our lives. Every part of our life really has a story that you can associate with it. So when we associate these stories to our lives a few things happen.

1) We take the story we associate to it and call that the truth

2) We believe that this is the only possible outcome.

But are these correct without a shadow of a doubt? I believe that is a yes and no answer, please allow me to explain. Your perspective is in fact reality, we all know that but as a mentor of mine Bob Proctor says

“If you look at something from a different angle, your perspective will change”

Bob Proctor

So what can change is Every situation ewe encounter? Is is possible that we can change the story to everything that happens to us simply by changing the way we look at it? I believe that is the biggest

YES

that there could be.

Is this easy NOT EVEN CLOSE. This is going to be one of the most difficult things you have done in a long time, hands down!

Before you give it a try, understand that you can’t just give it a try! Make a decision that you will from now on look at everything that transpires in your life from at least two to three angles, then respond to it and

Change Your Story

Richard Kaye

If you do, there are a few things that will transform your life into what ever you want. You can choose to make these stories go one of two ways!

Positive

or negative.


What’s your choice? How would you like to live your life? What’s going to be your legacy?

Reacting VS Responding

Reacting VS Responding



Are You reacting or responding?

Reacting Vs Responding


He absolutely blew a gasket. The reaction of this man was as if I just cut them off to the point that they had to drive on the sidewalk.

He started throwing me the bird, screaming absolutely disgusting profanities that R rated movies can’t repeat. Screaming at the top of his lungs while my 7 year old daughter is watching with the most astonishing look I have ever seen on her face.

My crime, I just swerved a little while I was looking into the back seat at my daughter when she was asking me a question and my vehicle moved about a foot to a foot and a half into his lane.

Sound familiar? Ever happened to you?

This is a reaction that we see all to much these days. People absolutely loosing their cool over something that in the grand scheme of things is totally irrelevant. These people choose to react instead of respond.

We have all been there at some point in our lives but where has it got you? Did it change the situation for the better or did you say or do something that makes you wish that you could turn back the clocks of time and change your “reaction”?

Me too! Reacting is simply letting your emotions control you not the other way around. By taking a step back or even if you want to look at it like taking a step out of your body and changing the way you are looking at the situation….You will find the situation will change.

If the gentleman that was loosing his cool over a car swerving slightly into his lane would have simply put his internal body filter up and not lost his cool, he most likely would have said to himself “Ya I’ve been there, it is so simple to just loose that line when you are doing something other than driving.

I mean we have all done it and when we correct ourselves and get back in our lane, our heart is pounding and all of a sudden you are paying better attention to the road than you have in ages. Why? Well for starters most of us driver through Paradigms but that is another post.

It scares us just as much as it scares the drivers around us right? When we react to something instead of respond we will miss so many of the benefits that come out of any situation.

With every adversity is planted the seed of an equal or greater benefit

– Napoleon Hill –

Napoleon Hills quote is not only true it is something that you should repeat anytime you are faced with a situation that you face that you feel is an adversity.

Now responding comes from a calm mind, a quite thought, and the chance to look at any situation from at least (I believe anyway) two other angles before you respond to it. Now this could be sleeping on an email that really got your juices flowing, waiting a few second to respond to a friend asking your advice, smiling at the gentlemen that is screaming at you for moving over into his lane, or even disciplining your children.

All situations can wait for a response rather than a reaction. No matter how severe you believe the situation to be, you can help by responding not reacting.

Think of what you say every time you speak. Remember, you can take the words back but not the feelings that the person you were speaking to felt when you said them.

Watch your words, respond don’t react, and have a great day!
