WEEK 129: GOLD

Abundance is not something we acquire, but something we tune into. Wayne Dyer

REFLECTIONS (learnings and actions): This week I want to talk to you about a shift in your thinking that moves you from minimal to little success, to everything you touch becoming gold.

Not litterlaly of course, but the actions you take lead to bigger opporunites, success, and amazing results.

Well what is that shift.

Home alone this weekend on daddy duty, so going to get right into. 

The key or change in thinking which will allow you to have more success is shifting from a place of LACK to a place of Abundance.

You have probably heard this many times on blogs, podcasts, quote boards, and everything in between, yet how do you actually make that change. 

Abundance...is really just thinking there is no lack of anyting and it will always be there. 

Is that it?

It is, but this comes by changing how you think about the PROCESS versus the results. 

We live in a time where everytingis focused on results. How much weight do you want to lose, how much money would yiou like to make? The list goes on and on.

Now results can take on many different words such OUTPUT = LAG INDICATORS

Yet, the uber successful know that setting the goal of where you want to go is the key to find CLARITY first, but the most important thing is to then focus all of your energy into the process. Thus, ensuring your goals becomes a reality.

Process can also take on many different forms INPUTS = LEAD INDICATORS = PRINCIPLES, but in its simplest terms they are the daily decisions and actions you take. 

Any success person, has an insane focus on the process, over the results. If you think about it, just focusing on the results over and over again will not produce them out of thin air.

What will?

The PROCESS = INPUTS = LEAD INDICATORS = Daily decisions and actions.

But I am going to give you a game changer. Ready?

Well, your PROCESS = INPUTS = LEAD INDICATORS = Daily decisions and actions are all PROCESS GOALS and these are the RULES you must keep at all times.

Similar to going to jail if you break one, these are the things you must one, have in place, but two, abide by if you want to achieve something great. 

Take weight loss for example. You set a goal - result - LAG indicator to reach a certain weight. You then decide on what LEAD indicators which will get you there, but soon you constantly think of the LAG indicators and forget about your LEAD indicators. 

This leads you to becoming frustrated and stressed as you do not see the results, yet you are spending little to no time on your lead indicators. 

Thus, in the end you think diets do not work (true), you do not have enough skill, and boom this is LACK thinking.

Whereas, abundance thinkers know although they might not see it on the surface, they know it is there, they can access at anytime, and great and amazing things are always coming their way, WHY?

Because they abide by their RULES to sick with their PROCESS goals = INPUTS = LEAD INDICATORS = Daily decisions and actions. This makes success inevitable.

Now the key is to identify the INPUTS that ensure your success.

Thus, if you do not have a system, or unaware of the process that does, then that is where you need to start.

Having this process in place ensures your stick to the right RULES, which in turn shifts your mindset from one of LACK to one of ABUNDANCE.

Tune in next week, where I dive deeper into how to view life through an ABUNDANT lens in PART II. 

Top three activities that move me forward?

1. Learning and Implanting psychic umbrellas. (future post)

2. Focusing on truly learning about ZEN, not only being disciplined to it. 

3. Focusing on 80/20 thiking. How can we do more with less?

Biggest lessons/learnings and corrections?

The power of mindset and environment. These two factors determine the level of success you will reach in any area of your life!

What are you grateful for?

First. teh education my son is getting at school. He is only three, but he is learning so much!

econd, the network of friends my wife has in our new home. This was lacking in Brazil and I am grateful she is able to connect and hang out with them here in China.

Third. Having learnt, but building the systems in place to ensure success in any area of my life....wow, that is pretty awesome to say!

PLANNING (Implementation Intention):  You will follow through 2X to 3X more likely to complete your weekly task than you normally would just by filling in the following statement.

I plan to complete the weekly task [day] at [time] in [location]. 

A reminder you might have to use multiple Implementation Intentions in order to follow through.

EXECUTION (strategies used):  From week to week, I use a combination of many strategies. There are always some which are used more than others depending on what comes up, but I wanted to offer a link to all them at once. 

My advice is to identify the I CAN'T statement you tell yourself during the most. Then find a strategy below the statement which resonates with you, and then start using it. 

Enjoy!
