The Missing PieceWritten by Monty J. Sharp
The Missing Piece By Monty J. Sharp, Certified Comprehensive Coach http://www.workteamcoaching.com We’ve all heard remarkable stories of people that achieved remarkable things in their life, career or business. We’ve been to motivational seminars featuring dynamic, charismatic speakers who whip us into an emotional frenzy and give us surefire secrets to success. We’ve bought tapes, books and videos with steps to achieve our wildest dreams and goals. Still, with this vast amount of wisdom at our fingertips, many people will undoubtedly never accomplish their life goals. Sadly, most will simply settle for much less than their dreams in life. What’s missing that sets those that accomplish much in life from those that spend their life wondering, “What if…?” I’d like to suggest what I think is missing piece. It's not enough to set your sights high; you also need to protect your goal. Like protecting someone you love - wife, children, friends - you would never tolerate anything that would do them harm. Quite contrary, when you are protecting something, you are all more diligent to nurture and care for it. When I worked in rehabilitation field, I often treated people who had diabetes and had lost ability to feel pain in their feet. Because they no longer sensed presence of their feet, they often neglected to protect them from injury. The consequences were often horrible – hideous ulcerations, lost limbs and even sometimes death. What you do not feel, you will poorly protect. What you do not protect, you could easily lose.
| | Do You Know You How To Model?Written by Jan Tincher
Did you know that if you model someone else's physiology -- their body language -- you'll experience new ways to think, feel, and act?You already experience different physiologies all day long. For instance, if you are angry, you stand a certain way. If you are concentrating on something, your posture is different than if you are just sitting around waiting for things to happen. If you are happy, you are standing differently than if you are sad, etc. If you would like to model someone else's physiology, and don't know where to start, tape a talk show, like Jay Leno or David Letterman or whatever, and model guest stars that you respect and admire. TIP: Before you model ANYONE, make sure you have chosen wisely. Sit as they do, talk as they do, walk as they do. If you like feeling of confidence you get as you model them, rewind VCR tape and watch it again and again. Do this preferably at night, just before you go to bed, so when you are done, your body and mind will *sleep* on it. The next morning, if you did it enough times and programmed it right, your body will unconsciously duplicate what you had modeled last night.
