I”ll go to the NEXT ONE……

by Mina on November 5, 2011

 

It’s Day 2 of Unleash the Power Within and a picture is circulating all over Facebook and within the Tony Robbins community- and now within another community – the Oprah community.  A picture of Oprah walking on Fire last night.

For people who have had the experience it is exciting and exhilerating to have one of the worlds most successful women and role models now share in this incredible life changing experience.  I know, myself, standing there last night watching the whole thing I was in awe, watching her go through the fear and hesitation,  and then pulling it together, and GOING FOR IT!  Wow!

Going home last night I thought of all the people who told me they were too busy to come to the event, or they are not sure they needed it,  or simply, “I’ll do it next time”

Ah yes, “next time”

The interesting thing about next time, is that it will never be like THIS TIME.  THIS TIME, you needed to learn to increase your confidence so you could make more money in your business, THIS TIME, you needed to break through your fear of talking to the opposite sex so when you run into that girl again at the gym you actually say something, THIS TIME, you needed to learn how to create health and vital energy so you could share it with a friend who just got some bad news about their health. THIS TIME, Oprah was there.

I ran into a client today and when I chatted with her I found she left the event early last night. She didn’t follow through and prepare for ,nor do, the Firewalk.  I had “things to take care of.” she said.

I said, “Gosh that’s too bad, Oprah was with us last night at the Firewalk. It was Amazing!”

“??? OPRAH!!” She exclaimed! “You’re kidding!!”

“No she really was. She was at the event participating all day” I said.

I saw a look of disbelief on her face, “Seeing Oprah is on my dream board…..” she said.

I wonder how long that has been on her dream board? How long she has been waiting for it to show up? How she imagined that moment would take place? The thing is though, life doesn’t show up HOW you expect it to show up. It shows up for THOSE who show up. Putting it on our dreamboard is not enough. Visualizing, affirming, meditating, dreamboarding is one part of the equation. Committing, keeping your word, following through, faith, and doing something when there seems like there is nothing in it for you except to contribute to the greater good, is the another part of the equation.

Have you ever considered that all the things you have been asking for, praying for, working for, are coming together and when you pass on opportunity you miss the opportunity to set off a chain reaction of success and good things coming your way? A literal waterfall of dreams manifested to bathe in?

Thomas Edison said, “Opportunity is missed by most people because it shows up in overalls and looks like work”

You ask for things, opportunity shows up.  The thing is most people choose the “opportunities” that look just like the ones from yesterday. Things that are familiar, safe, and predictable.

THIS TIME

NEXT TIME

I wonder if you exchanged the words TIME with LIFE how different the decision making process would be?

THIS LIFE?

NEXT LIFE?

It’s not a dress rehearsal, I know which one I choose.

The Lie

by Mina on September 24, 2011

 

Have you ever heard someone say something Untrue and thought, “Huh??” What are they thinking??? That is so obviously not true!”

Now, have you ever said something about yourself, to yourself, that really was not true? Have you said these things on more than one occasion? Daily?

What happens when these 2 dynamics play out in someone’s life?

0 The Lie

 

“I didn’t know if he was gonna see it, I didn’t know if he was gonna see it girl…..”

When it comes to ourselves, the obvious is not obvious. We must go with that burning desire in us because for good or bad it is meant to take us somewhere. Perhaps that desire, that vision, will not actually fabricate BUT in the pursuit of it, we prepare ourselves. We prepare ourselves for the greater thing that is meant for us. The unseen. There is a reason ridiculously successful people say, “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine….”  You aren’t supposed to see all of it, you are just supposed to know that, that burning desire is meant to take you somewhere, somewhere that when you are pursuing it and really reveling in it you will know. The 2nd guessing will fade to the back and the, I could do this ALL day, will come to the front.  A path will clear for you as bright and shiny as the yellow brick road and the curtain will be pulled on the lies. You will know the truth.

So.  What lies is it time to discard? What opinions is it time to dismiss? What about yourself are you ready to acknowledge because there is one, only one person who can bring it into reality and I think you know who that is.

Ok, so I have always had this major fantasy that if I were to get up in the morning at 5:00am, 5 days a week, my life would miraculously catapult into the stratosphere. Now, some of you who know me, are probably thinking, “You don’t already get up at 5:00am?” That would be a No. [...]
