What Is Success?
I will describe success with the words from Napoleon Hill. Success is comprised of: Positive Mental Attitude, Physical Health, Harmony in Human Relations, Freedom from Fear, The Hope of Future Achievement, The Capacity for Applied Faith, Willingness to Share Your Blessing with Others, To Be Engaged in a Labor of Love, A Open Mind Towards All Subjects and All People, Complete Self-Discipline, The Wisdom with which to Understand People, Financial Security, Using these principles, let’s learn to Turn our Dream into Reality Let’s start with Integrity: Intent, Content and Movement all come from the our heart. What we conceive in our heart (our intentions) what we think in our minds (our content) and what we inevitably act out in our lives (our movement). Our intent is the creator of our lives. Our intention comes before we think or have thought. Our intention leads us in all that we do and if it has been twisted by circumstances it can direct outcomes that differ from what we want. Our thoughts are the product of our intentions. We must look at our intentions. We do not get what we want in life; we get what we are and that is what we believe in our heart that we are. Our integrity affects your will. We need to have awareness of our weaknesses and utilize our will. From our intention comes inspiration and integrity. Again integrity is keeping what we feel in our heart what we think in our mind and what say and do alined. SIX STEPS TO ACHIEVEMENT Fix in your mind the exact thing it is that you DESIRE. You must be definite and describe it to the smallest detail. You must be able to use the imagination to see what it is you desire as tangible NOW. Determine exactly what it is that you will GIVE for what you DESIRE. You must know that there is a sacrifice for the desire that you want. Establish a definite date that you will possess what you DESIRE. You must write down your desire and the action steps you will be taking to acquire that desire and setting a definite date in the future that you will with NO DOUBT obtain that desire. Create a definite plan for caring out what you DESIRE. Write out a clear and concise statement of the exact thing it is that you DESIRE, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what it is that you are going to GIVE for your DESIRE, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to acquire it. Read ALOUD your written statement twice daily. Once in the morning before getting out of bed and second in the evening just before going to bed. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP And this will take us back to the last video Why Success Evades You. We are molded by programming, training, and modeling.
 
Law of Cause and Effect
The Universal Law of Cause and Effect. We understand this that every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When we expend energy in one direction there is an equal and opposite reaction directed back towards us. This could be good energy or bad energy. Now let’s touch on how we can use this law to our benefit. First we must hold in our minds a vision, of us doing what it is that we are looking to accomplish. The creative power that is in us, makes us into the image of that which we give our attention. We must hold a vision of what we desire in your thoughts, so that it creates the emotions or passion to sustain us until we reach that which we desire. That vision needs to be very clear and precise down to the smallest detail. We need to hold it at the forefront of our mind at all times of the day and night. It should consume us. It is said that sustained thought is the hardest task that a human being can do. This is because the focused mind is without a doubt the most powerful tool anyone has at their disposal. We must not only hold this vision in our mind but we must also see ourselves living this vision in the present moment. We will need to have tremendous faith to obtain our desires especially when circumstances do not always match our desire or vision. This takes a tremendous Will to continually hold these thoughts in our mind and when ever they seem to be slipping to re-focus immediately and cast out fear and doubt. We need to understand and focus your efforts towards applying these laws and principles to bring out your faith and belief that we were created for greatness and deserve to have it. The Law of Cause and Effect is very important. We will want to use our Will to hold ourselves on course to the desires we are looking to have manifested. We must understand that the hard work is to keep our thoughts positive and uplifting and moving towards our goals. If any thoughts we have are contrary to what it is we desire this will instantly start moving us away from what it is that we desire. Most of the time we describe this as Self-Sabotage. I will leave you today with this: All the promises are unto them who believe and unto them only. Our beliefs are very important and it would behoove us to guard our thoughts. Our thoughts are what shape our beliefs.
 
Being A Leader For Success
There are lots of qualities that make a leader. I want to touch on 5 that I believe to be important. Decide to be wealthy or successful- The power of choice. The focus you get with commitment. The drive you obtain with persistence - Napoleon Hill said: “Riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hard work.” This first thing seems simple just decide to be wealthy or successful! But it is the primary reason why most people fail. They simply never decide to be wealthy or successful. And just to point out what I believe wealthy is, and that is the place where you do not ever have to worry about money. Choice is the beginning of all ventures. And of course it is the most important step of all. To get started! People need to realize that you need to first ask and then you will receive. Take responsibility for your money - Money makes a good servant but a bad master. Most let money control them. They view it as an uncontrollable force. Money is just paper and metal and if you don’t control your money it will control you. You will want to start by writing down everything you spend for a month. You will come to realize that there is a considerable amount of your earnings you are spending irresponsibly. In my business I encounter people every day that spend irresponsibly and then come back to say I don’t have the money to even start. Well the truth is that they more than likely have them money and are spending it on other things that won’t get them to a place of financial freedom. Decide to be wealthy and successful today. Take responsibility for your money and most importantly your future. Always pay yourself first- The next step everyone likes but rarely do. And that is always pay yourself a portion of what you earn first! This may sound simple but to the contrary it is very difficult in todays culture. If you do this you will psychologically start to gain faith and belief that you can accumulate wealth. Also, when an opportunity comes that may take some funds you will have a portion of what you have been putting aside just for that venture. Create Leverage - A personal friend of mine that earns over a million dollars per month with New Skin once told me to do what you need to do to get benefits, insurance and stability for your family. But always be looking for a side way to earn money. That’s where you will find wealth. You will want to look for ways to create leverage with your money by savings, investments and assets. One of the fastest ways to create very profitable leverage is by leveraging your effort. This is why most of the very wealthy are interested in network marketing. This is without a doubt the quickest way to start leveraging yourself and creating funds to put in to savings, investments and assets. J. Paul Gety once said “He would rather have 1% of a 100 peoples effort than 100% of his own”. Pay yourself first and always keep looking for a side way to leverage time and money. Giving and Gratitude is another quality trait of a leader- You must give of your self so that others will follow. Giving is a powerful tool. Kahlil Gibran once said “All you have shall some day be given; therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors’”. There is a saying that says Give so that you shall receive. You first must open your hand before you can put something in it. We talked about the Law of Cause and Effect. This principle of giving can not be separated from that law. Gratitude is another principle that can not be separated from the Law of Cause and Effect. Gratitude is the emotion that brings joy to our lives. Joy is the substance that increases faith and ultimately shapes your beliefs. So gratitude is one of the most powerful principles we can use.
 
Why Success Evades You
Have you ever contemplated why success evades people? You could be given the perfect opportunity at the right time and success sneaks out the back door. The reason is success is a mindset and an attitude you hold not the position or opportunity that you have. If it were just the opportunity then everyone that had an opportunity would be successful. There are many opportunities in this world but very few people have the right mindset to actually seize those opportunities. We will self sabotage to stay where we are comfortable. To develop the correct mindset for success we need to first become aware of our current mindset. Awareness is the first thing for change. From there we can become pro-active towards changing our mind and how it has been programed. One of the best ways to change yourself to be success-minded is to start positioning yourself around people that have it already. The reason is that we are an intelligent organism constantly re-creating itself in response to stimuli. Some of these stimuli are innovative and sought-after knowledge acquired through programming, training, and modeling and some are destructive and dysfunctional and bring death and failure. From when we were born we have been subjected to this process of being programmed. We put this into two categories, doing habits and not doing habits. With every thought that comes into our minds brings another thought which in turn creates feelings or emotions that govern our actions or responses and in turn give us our personal results. You will notice that there is four parts to life; thoughts, emotions, the will or spirit and the physical or our reality. Three of these are internal and the fourth is the manifestation or mirror image of the first three. So few people look at the internal aspects of man and only focus on the fruits or the physical manifestations. But the greatest things in this universe are the things that are unseen not the things that are seen.
 
Mind & Neuromuscular Connections
The human body is an intelligent organism constantly re-creating itself in response to stimuli. Some of these stimuli are innovative and sought-after knowledge acquired through training. In this dominion of new and advantageous knowledge, NMR (Neuromuscular Reprogramming) can contribute a great deal to the internal martial artist and their quest for the power of a unified body. The neuromuscular connection is how the brain and the muscular system communicate. Once a specific skill (exercise) is initiated, the brain begins a specific pattern or “connection” to the involved muscle(s). Then the brain and the muscles store this specific information in the memory drum (commonly referred to as muscle memory). NMR utilizes a form of kinesthetic conversation with the body to imprint new and fresh wisdom on the motor control center of the brain, replacing damaged imprints created through ergonomically inefficient use patterns. It bypasses the usual reflex spinal root circuits to address neuromuscular problems at their source, the motor control center. These neuromuscular connections are very imperative to establish correct pathways for striking and the use of kinematic chains for the most power or velocity possible in combat. There are set exercises that help in retraining the neurologic patterns. The martial artist must use their mind to bring into awareness the signals to the muscular structure and the strength of those signals. These pathways and neuromuscular connections must be interpreted and identified with the mind. The counter weight and balance linked with the tension held through the body is crucial to produce the most efficient movement, power and velocity. These neuromuscular connections are also the link to the body’s ability to absorb power or withstand tremendous impacts. When the practitioner holds the musculoskeletal system with tensegrity the body can absorb impacts without being damaged. Energy flows away from a site of impact through the tensegrous living matrix. The more flexible and balanced the network (the better the tensional integrity), the more readily it absorbs shocks and converts them to information rather than damage. Dysfunction of the motor coordination systems governing movement, postural support and alignment are the greatest dilemma in the ability to have effortless power and power absorption. These motor coordination systems are easily reprogrammed with the focus of the mind and some very simple exercises. Most practitioners find that their ability to control neuromuscular stimuli is greatly enhanced within a few months of practicing these exercises. The astonishing benefits of reducing the energy demand from the support and movement system by improving neuromuscular efficiency are: more energy, clearer vision, and increase in muscle definition through normal activity levels, a normalization of tissue metabolism, and more energy available for the higher brain functions of creative thought and problem-solving. Psychologically, it means a general sense of greater well-being, feeling balanced and whole. The practitioner will have a return to energy levels remembered from a much younger age; we realize that the more we can reduce stress on the system created by dysfunctional neuromuscular connections, the easier our life becomes.
