Inspiration: Blind mountain climber of Mount Everest! The Secret to Breaking Barriers of Belief and Success!

The First Step

The most important first step to creating any successful project, achievement, or life is to find the inspiration that allows us to stay on track through the frustrations of learning the steps and getting really good at those steps that will create the most powerful successes in our lives.

The Power to Create or Destroy Success

All of us have some kind belief about who we are, who we’re not, and what we’re really capable of.  Some of those beliefs empower us to move past stumbling blocks and triggers on your way to success. But many of those beliefs are incredibly limiting and cause us to backdown when we find any frustration or something that seems to indicate that our success is either  unlikely or at least very limited.

Inspiration to Break Barriers

Because of that, this next series of blog posts is designed to be reminders to each of us the people who have broken through their beliefs and certainly other people’s beliefs that they might not be able to do something or might not be good at something. So here we go!

As part of our series on inspiring people who moved beyond  what normal people would expect or even imagine was possible, today’s inspiration is about a man named Eric Weihenmayer.

Oh, my goodness!  Eric!!

To Begin Eric is blind. When I say that most of us will think of the limitations that Eric might have. But, wait till you hear his story!

Eric is an adventurer. And, he has powerfully determined that his life will be the life of meaning and purpose.  What does that mean for him?   

Let’s look. In 2001, Eric climbed Mount Everest! Let that sink in!  Eric is blind and he was not carried up Mount Everest. He CLIMBED Mount Everest!

He was the first blind person ever to reach the highest peak in the world. 

Undoubtedly, he was hugely elated by that amazing feat as well he should have been!  

But what happened next massively increased his power, his life, his achievements and his power to inspire the world. 

The Life Enhancing Mentor’s Message

After that climb his team leader told him something hugely important. What is team leader told him is something that all of us should get clear about in different areas of our lives.  

He said, “Don’t make Everest the greatest thing you’ll ever do.”

Eric Evolving into Greatness

Eric decided that the triumph of Everest would not it be his greatest accomplishment… would not be the greatest thing he would never do. He decided he would not be one of those people who have an achievement and who’s life goes down after that.  

So, he has spent the last 16 years his life working to live up to his team leader’s challenge. Since that time, he has climbed the highest peaks on each continent. Let that sink in!  Did he change his circumstances?  NOPE, but he continued to expand his beliefs and strengths about what was possible!!   And, that’s not all!  He has been kayaking in the Grand Canyon… But that’s not all!!  He has also authored three books… Wait...but that’s not all. He has also started a nonprofit movement called No Barriers!!   And, Eric is not through!

Ready?  Now About You!!

So how does that apply to you? 

You may not be blind and you may be able to actually see the world around you. You may not have a desire to climb Mount Everest nor any of the highest peaks in the world. 

Your Barrier Breaking First Questions

But my first two questions to you are, 

1. ”What would set YOUR heart on fire?” And,   2. “If you knew you could not fail, what would you begin to create and work hard at achieving?” (even if everyone you know told you that was not possible?)”

Those are the kinds of questions that we help people answer and actually create epic results in their lives. We help people move beyond they’re limiting beliefs to create lives of achievement, fulfillment and happiness period

Are You Willing to Create Your Breakthrough?

If you’re willing to discover and master any of YOUR old beliefs and habits which would make your life and achievements smaller or nonexistent and avoid the frustration and stuckness that happens when your heart wants something wonderful and you can’t quite figure out why it’s not happening and how to get it then let me know.   That is what we help people do!

In this currently chaotic world, there is an immense opportunity to expand lives and projects in amazing ways.  Because of this chaos and these opportunities, there are many more people who are eager and willing to step out of their old smaller, ‘normal’ comfort zone and are eager to grow.   So, I am opening eight more spaces to be able to help more people to blow past your limitations and create extraordinary breakthroughs in their lives.

THE #1 REASON MOST PEOPLE STAY STUCK IN FRUSTRATION AND DISAPPOINTMENT

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”

Yeah, but don’t most people want something more? Don’t they start out learning ‘how’ to get something more? Don’t most people get frustrated along the way and give up?

YES!!

Here’s the thing.  Everyone…yes, everyone who has ever achieved anything awesome, has experienced frustration and disappointment because things didn’t come quickly and easily. AND… they didn’t give up!

What makes them different from the rest of us?  Are they smarter? No, not usually!  Are they just lucky?   Nope, they wouldn’t say so on the way to their success! 

So, what is it?

Today is the first of a few articles on how anyone can learn the secrets of how to create their greatest success. 

Here’s the first important insight:

There are FIVE STEPS ON THE PATH TO MASTERY of anything!!

They are deceptively simple and they are:

You must have a Desire to achieve that goal

You must Believe that you can reach it

You must gain the Information on how to achieve it

You must learn the Skills 

You must create the Habits of success

These steps are only a few and can seem super simple, but can be filled with challenges and oftentimes seem difficult, yet they are learnable by anyone with the right help.

Every one of these steps has great power once they are mastered, and they all have great stumbling blocks that can take us down if we don’t know and follow the road around them to our success.

Think of the Oprahs’, the Steve Jobs’, and the Beyoncés’ They all mastered all five steps…HOW???

They all had awesome coaches and teachers to help them learn the ‘hows’, create the skills and then they worked to turn those skills into habits. 

Along the way, they learned how to move through the tough spots to help them get back on track.

They also learned how to recognize the stumbling blocks on their own paths and navigate over, around, or straight through them.

If you have a desire and want to become a master on the PATH TO MASTERY, if you want to move beyond the frustration and disappointment of getting stuck … I am here to help you.

There has been such a strong desire for coaching in these chaotic times that I’ve agreed to open up 6 more coaching spots than I had originally intended to.   

Sign up for a complimentary session today if you want to take your life to the next level and become a master of, not just one thing, but a Master on the Path to Mastery.

How to Thrive in a storm of Chaos!

In chaos or crisis, there are usually three choices. Which will you choose?

A) 10% WILL RISE ABOVE THE CHAOS, UPGRADE THEIR LIVES AND COME OUT OF CHAOS HEALTHIER, WEALTHIER, STRONGER, AND HAPPIER!!

B) 70% of people will survive chaos and go back to normal after the storm passes but nothing really changes.

C) 20% will be mad at the world, or mad at someone else or themselves and then they often slide into cynicism or depression… their lives, health and wealth will usually decline fairly dramatically.

Which of the three do you choose? The A, B, or C life?

If you chose the A life, you’re in luck because there are some powerful strategies that you can learn that can make you one of the A Group!!

The first most important strategy is to understand what you can change, what you can influence and what you can’t do a darned thing about!

In a crisis, you cannot change or even influence the outside RED world symbolized by the outer red circle. Think of the red light a traffic light. Stop!  So, don’t waste your precious energy and brain power either being mad at something or someone because you can’t change them.

Trying to change something outside your control when you can’t will put you in a victim mentality! Not good!

When we are in victim mentality, we will either be in the B or C group…but never in the A group. Here you will waste your energy and life.

In the Blue circle, you do have some ability to influence…sometimes! But, if you focus most of your energy here, you are still wasting your awesome power to be in The A Life!

Now!! Look at the Green circle. It’s just like the green light on a traffic signal! It’s your turn to GO!! This is where you have the chance to forge ahead in your life and you have the power to make magic! THIS is where YOU actually have the power to change!! This and only this!!

So, what is in each circle?

Red Light Circle of Worry… the outside circle is things like government, laws, wars, the economy, natural disasters…etc.

You can worry about them but mostly can’t change them. It’s normal to be concerned but when you put too much of your precious energy and brilliance into this circle, you end wasting your power and missing what you can massively control.

Blue Circle of Some Influence… it’s true you are not in control of changing these things but you can often have an influence on them. Some of these things are your family, friends, organizations you support etc.

GREEN LIGHT- This is the Circle where you gain Control!! Ahhh, here’s where you can step on the gas to create powerful changes that create powerful, profitable, happy, health, lives.

So what IS in your control?

The most important things are in this circle!

First is Thoughts!! … how you think, what you believe about yourself, life, your potential, problems, difficulties and successes.

Second is Actions …what actions do you take based upon those beliefs. Do you give up, do you persevere, do you try new things, do you create new friendships, do you learn, do you keep your promises …to yourself and others?

Mastering these vital two areas within your Circle of Control will allow you to overcome obstacles, create huge success, health, happiness, love and more.

So, here’s my question to you.

What have you been trying to control that you can’t?

What are you frustrated about?

What do you believe you are capable of? What do you believe you are not capable of?

What do you believe about mistakes and failure?

And lastly, what change of belief or action do you think might help you to become more successful, happy prosperous and more?

Let me know if you’re really willing to learn to grow powerfully. That’s what we teach! And, then get ready to become more powerful!

Homework… 30 day mental diet…

Pay attention to your self-talk, especially about fear, doubt, anger at yourself or others.

Notice what thoughts you may be focusing upon in the green light circle of yourself… the trick is to catch yourself repeating old patterns that would perpetuate old behaviors and results.

1. You want to be IN the green circle where you CAN make changes AND

2. You want to make positive changes not perpetual old negative thoughts!

3.Use affirmations to practice new positive thoughts which will lead to new positive actions which will create a new more powerful future.

4.Praise yourself for doing this work! Literally! I WILL begin to change your life for the better!

Stay tuned for another strategy in the next post.

These circles of influence are based upon the brilliant writer, leadership trainer Stephen Covey’s teachings of Circles of Influence.

Breaking out of the Prison of Limiting Beliefs

What is keeping you stuck in the same frustrations over and over and over again? What is keeping your from reaching your next level of achievement? What is holding you back from your greatness?

It is almost always a belief about… not enough (something)… too much (something)… a belief that you can’t move forward now because… (something or someone or you) are not ready or????

Allow yourself (just for the moment) to play with the idea that most, if not all, of the blockages in your life are caused by your limiting beliefs.  

If that were true AND you were able to release those beliefs, what would you LOVE to be, do, create and have?

Let’s just play for a moment. Let yourself quickly (don’t think about it) answer these questions.

If___________ were better, I could__________?

If I had more ___________, I could really ________.

If I weren’t so ___________, I could awesomely create______.

If my (family finances, looks, age, brains, education, luck etc.) were different, I could really_______________

I’m not_________________ to have _____________.

I’m too ________________ to __________________.

Life sucks (is unfair etc) because_________________.

Fill in a few of your own that I may have missed.

Here’s what science tells us in many different disciplines.

Whatever you believe will control your thoughts, your actions, your biochemistry, what you see in life and definitely your level of success, health and happiness.

Whatever limiting beliefs you habitually believe are true will consistently recreate the same frustrations, worries and sometimes even despair that you have hate but feel stuck with.

If you want something more in your life, you must change your old limiting beliefs!

I know you think they are real! That is why you keep manifesting the same frustrations and disappointments.

You must and you CAN learn to grow your beliefs, actions, habits and when you do, your life will also grow, often beyond your wildest dreams!!

All of this is learnable. Are you ready?

Are you ready to grow your life?

DON’T GIVE UP!

Almost everybody is FRUSTRATED!! Right!?  How about you? What’s frustrating to you??  I know…besides, self-quarantine!! What else? Many of us are frustrated with feeling stuck in our lives and with not reaching our goals …and, and, …and!

As a Life Coach with 25 years working with everyone from top executives to 18 year old kids, I hear over and over early on in coaching that people are super frustrated with many things but especially feeling stuck in not being able to reach their goals!

How many of you have felt that frustration and were almost ready to quit?  DON’T DO IT!  

The ANTIDOTE to that frustration begins with understanding and changing the thoughts, actions and habits that we accidentally learned as kids and that now are holding us in the same old frustrating place with the same old frustrating results.

Over and over, people have the awesome insights that those thoughts and habits were preventing their success and they find that learning to change them, changes everything!

One of the frustrations begins with our misunderstanding of HOW getting to success in anything actually works!!  Most of us in the modern world think success should look like the left side of this picture.

But, as you can see, it really looks like the right side of this image. Notice that we can still reach the awesome goal, right?  It’s just not a straight line!

So, if we have the huge misunderstanding that if it’s right, it’s going to be a straight smooth line upward, when it takes twists and turns, most of us get frustrated and give up… believing that we’re not going to get our goals.

One of my favorite Jeff Bezos quotes is:

Don’t forget that Jeff Bezos owns Amazon and is, currently, the richest man in the world BECAUSE he understands the path to major success is NEVER GIVE UP!

By the way, invention does not just mean new businesses or technology. Everything you want that you don’t already have or know how to do, is a new invention for and of you!  

So let’s look back at the “SUCCESS’ picture..

If the right side of this picture is what Success in any goal really looks like and you would REALLY like to have your awesome goal….

Then…

ARE YOU WILLING TO LEARN HOW?

IF so, then this is where the magic begins to happen because you can then learn the empowering thoughts, beliefs, and actions that can become the new habits…

And YOUR LIFE WILL LITERALLY BEGIN TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!!

Get ready to Reinvent to a more powerful life on your Hero’s Journey.

Let me know if you’d like to be part of the new group coaching series that will be starting soon. Or, if you want to be one of the Elite One to One Private clients and you can start your series whenever you want!!

Times of Huge Potential Growth

I wanted to remind you of a few things that are important as we end up the month of April in this time of Coronavirus.

While much of the world is feeling and expressing great frustration and feeling, as someone complained the other day,…‘nothing is going as I planned--grrrr”!

Please remember that almost all huge leaps in people’s lives are preceded by mental chaos and seeming catastrophe.

This is definitely one of the times where some of us, maybe as many as 10% of us, will feel that AND will choose to become one of the people whose lives will take a quantum leap!

Most importantly, remember that for any of us, anything that interrupts our old habits of thinking and action has the potential to turn into one of the most powerful times in our lives.

This is one of those incredible times.  

This is a time that is pushing us out of our old habits of thinking and acting and, perhaps, for people like you, calling us to the next highest levels of our lives.

It's super easy to fall into the frustration that occurs for all of us when we sense frustration around us and we feel it in ourselves too... Whew, right?! And, at the same time, this chaos is pushing us ... whispering to us …calling to us to grow!!

What is your vision? What's your next step?
