Personal performance expert Tony Robbins is known around the world for his ability to help people create motion in their lives.
One of the most powerful insights I learned from him is expressed in this quote.
“Quality questions create a quality life.
Successful people ask better questions,
and as a result, they get better answers.”
Remember your first day at a new school?
Maybe it was grade school. Maybe in university. The gut-gnawing uncertainty. People everywhere, yet you feel so alone. You just want to go hide somewhere.
Life can feel like that, can’t it?
Why am I here? Why can’t I seem to get my stuff together? Why does everything seem to fall into place for others and never for me? [Read more...]
When I got into my car after work, I felt like crap.
Not physically. Work wasn’t particularly stressful. No terribly cranky customers to deal with. I have no excuse.
Negativity swirled around me. The darkest side of me relished it. If there was a negative conversation, I wanted to hear it and add my energy to it. My nostrils were filled with the stench of it. [Read more...]
Driven
Focused
Goal-oriented
Ambitious
Compassionate
Kind
Sarcastic
Witty
Wise
And in the past, I would have added “passionate” to the list. In reality, I was still searching for my passion in life. [Read more...]
Impossible!!!
It seems so much more daunting that it really is.
It’s only because you and I have certain beliefs we hold about what is possible or not–and even beliefs about the idea of possibility.
We think that the impossible is something that is grand and overwhelming–that only the superheroes and over-achievers attempt. [Read more...]
A few days ago, I saw a great idea posted on Facebook. It was to take a jar and write down each good thing that happened in 2013 on a slips of paper. Then, on New Years Eve this year, you can review and be grateful for all the wonderful things that happened.
“shatterproof” and about $6 each
I decided to take on this practice. But I’m tweaking it a bit. I’m creating what I call a “Wonderful World” jar–just because I love that song.–for my gratitude jar.
I’m doing a second, and I’m writing my goals and ambitions for the year and putting them in it.
Some of you had expressed a desire to do this as well, so I thought I would share what I’m doing so you can steal some of my ideas or share some of your own. [Read more...]
NOTE: Read to the end (or skip there now) for a great opportunity to work with me directly in 2013.
In my riff about 2013, I shared my new and improved mission.
To create a life and business that sustains me and enriches others
Apparently, this resonates with many of you as well. Why?
We all want to make a difference. We want to feel like our life matters.
I have to admit, Results and I have a rocky past. There have been times in my life where I have achieved really great results that I’m very proud of.
And then again, other times–not so much. [Read more...]
2012 is coming to an end.
2013 is just around the corner.
Do you do any year-end goal setting before the New Year hits?
Is it effective for you? How do you manage and follow through on the goals you set? What keeps you motivated for the long haul?
I have to admit that my experience with New Year’s goal setting has been pretty hit and miss (probably mostly miss!). [Read more...]
You spend all week anticipating the weekend. You count down each day by the hour. You make it to Wednesday and give a cheer that you only have to endure two more days until you get a reprieve.
Then Friday evening arrives. You made it! But you’re so exhausted and drained you can barely do anything but “veg” out.
Then as Sunday evening comes to a close, your stomach starts to tighten and you’re filled with anxiety when you realize that you have to go to bed because Monday morning is coming on and facing the start of a new week is the one thing you dread most in your life. [Read more...]
Dreams are amazing things. Our dreams fill us with enthusiasm. They draw out the genius within and motivate us, don’t they?
Think of the big dreams in your life.
To write a book? To be a movie star? To own your own business? To start a family?
What are you dreams?
Notice how you feel when you think about them even now.
Of course it would be easy for me to say you should follow your dreams for lots of reasons (some listed above). You’ll feel more fulfilled (maybe). You’ll accomplish more than you ever thought possible.
