Respect every one of your emotions but question their timing.
Oct 23rd
Since the house is on fire let us warm ourselves. ~Italian Proverb
There are no bad emotions or to say this another way, every emotion or emotional response is useful somewhere. I was thinking of this today as I prepared to give a seminar tomorrow on peak emotional states. I will be teaching people to elicit in themselves extremely useful emotional states and then I will teach them how to either anchor them so that they can be recalled on demand or how to use them as habitual states or baseline emotional responses. I will be very focused on states like flow and certainty and confidence tomorrow and this makes sense for the purposes of the seminar.
My point this evening is really about making any part of your emotional response “bad”. I don’t think there is any good to come from making any of your responses bad. However, it may serve you to have different responses at different times. More >
More About Transformational Perspectives

“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.” – Frank Lloyd Wright
Before you can begin to build the perfect perspectives for yourself, it is very useful to understand how negative perspectives work. They are extremely powerful. Most of the ones that I see people struggling with affect every aspect of their lives. Let’s look at one from my last post.
“I have so much to do. I just don’t know what to do next.” It is useful to look at this statement, this perspective from a number of different levels.
- What can of actions will this person in this perspective likely take? What will be their likely behaviors from this place? (I will say from experience, that most people from this place will likely be overwhelmed and take little or no action. Or they will go from task to task, trying to get something going on 30 things at the same time and end up making no real progress at all on anything!)
- How will a person in this perspective likely feel? (How about depressed, stressed, tired, overwhelmed, abused, sad, defeated…now there is a potent cocktail of emotional state! Shaken, not stirred, served with a twist and deadly for sure!)
- How will a person in this perspective influence others around them?
- By being in this perspective habitually, on a regular basis, what will a person start to believe about themselves, the world around them, and their own likely future?
- Let’s say that person spends just 10% of their time in this perspective, day after day, (and I know people that spend 90% of their time in this perspective!), how will this affect their ability to manifest their desired destiny…leveraged over a lifetime?
More next time…and yes, we will fix this!
Are Your Habitual Points of View Holding You Back?
Aug 21st
“Luke, you’ll find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view” – Obi-Wan Kenobi speaking to Luke Skywalker – from the “Star Wars” Film Trilogy
I am going to be writing about points of view, perspectives if you like, for the next few entries. Once you understand perspectives, even just being aware of what they are and how they work, you will be in powerful place to start to positively influence yourself and influence others.
Let’s start with some examples of perspectives:
Disempowering:
“My Life is a Mess!”
“I have so much to do, I just don’t know what to do next.”
“They gave that promotion to someone else. This company stinks.”
“I am so depressed. I just can’t get myself to do anything.”
“No one loves me, and they never will”
If am sure that you have heard these statements, or something very similar, from yourself or others.
