What happens when you take full responsibility of your life

What happens when you take full responsibility of your lifeWhat happens when you take full responsibility of your lifeFour realities existIndecision is your greatest threat.Most people are drifting through life, meaning they havent yet determined who they are going to be. Theyre still waiting for something outside of them to tell them what and who they should be.Right before you have an enormous breakthrough in your life, youre going to hit mental and emotional barriers - your life will feel like its falling apart. The moment you make a committed decision, you have far greater control of over your mind, emotions, and choices.In his book, Outwitting the Devil, Napoleon Hill discusses a moment in which he met his other self - the side of him that wasnt indecisive and unclear about the future. This other self operated entirely out of faith and definiteness of purpose.After several months of deep depression, when Hill was at a personal rock bottom, he reached a point where enough was e nough.He got to the point where he no longer cared what other people thought of him.He heard the voice in his head - his other self - and he decided to follow that voice with complete obedience, regardless of how ridiculous or landseemingly crazy it was.He had nothing to lose, and only to gain.He listened with exactness and acted immediately - regardless of the uncertainty and regardless of the tauglichkeit consequences. He didnt allow himself even a second to question himself or hesitate.As the ancient philosopher, Cato said, He who hesitates is lost.Research done at Yale University has shown that, if you hesitate for even a few seconds when you feel inspired to do something - like help someone - that your chances of doing it drop DRAMATICALLY even after 24 seconds.If you feel inspired to do something, you must act IMMEDIATELY. Every second counts.Hence, Hill decided to act with complete obedience, immediately, no matter what his other self told him to do.A life without hesita tionThis voice told him who to seek for financial aid in publishing his books. It told him to book world-class suites at hotels when he didnt have the money to pay for it. It gave him brilliant geschftlicher umgang ideas which he acted upon immediately.At a personal and profession rock bottom, Hill entered a mental state with infinite power. Having spent over 25 years interviewing the most successful people of his era, he had heard others talk of this mentality, yet he had never experienced it himself. Now, he was having an experience that validated everything he had learned.Many others have been gripped by their other self. Tony Robbins explains this notion as a 3-part processMake a decision while in a passionate or peak stateCommitting to that decision by removing everything in your environment that conflicts, and by creating multiple accountability mechanismsResolve within yourself that what you have decided is finished. It will happen.Make big decisions while in a peak stateIf y ou dont make your decisions in a peak-state, your decisions will be weak and small-minded. When you make your decisions while in a clear and edified mental place, youll put yourself on a mora elevated trajectory.It is your responsibility to put yourself into a peak state, every single day. Why would you want to live any other way? Why would you want to drag yourself through the day and through your life?Upgrade your standards for yourself. Upgrade your standards for the day. Put yourself into a heightened state and then make some profound and committed decisions to move forward.What commitment really meansMaking a commitment means youre seeing it through to the end. It means you are leaving yourself no escape routes. You are burning any bridges that might lead to lesser paths of distraction. Your decision has been made. Theres no going back. Youve passed your point of no return.Where decisions are made in a single moment, commitment is seeing those decisions into the future. Especia lly when life gets difficult.Resolving within yourself that the decision is finalResolve means its done, said Robbins. Its done inside your heart, therefore its done in the real world. When you are resolved, there is no question whatsoever. To prozentanteil his Air-ness, Sir Michael Jordan, Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.When you resolve within yourself that its done, then its done. It doesnt matter that the path to your goal is uncertain - come hell or high water - youre going to get what you want.There are two people in the world those who 1) get the results they want and 2) those with excuses for why they didnt get the results.As Yoda said, There is no try. Only do or do not.Are you doing, or not doing?Seriously?Are you committed and resolved?Is it done in your mind?Or are you still unsure?Most people want certaintyMost people will not act on their dreams because those dreams dont have certain outcomes.People would prefer external security over inner fre edom.However, when you have inner freedom, you are completely fine embracing the uncertainty of pursuing your dreams. You dont need the outcomes to be certain. You already know within yourself that if you really want something, youll get it. You know God will help you. You know that when you set goals and dreams, and follow the process of transforming yourself into a person who can have those goals, that nothing is impossible to you.Resolve means you know your goals are already yoursWhen you resolve within yourself - it means that you already know its going to happen. You believe it. Every day you cause yourself to believe it even more by affirming to yourself that what you want is already true. Hence, Neville Goddard has said, Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled.When youre resolved, nothing can stop you. You dont react to situations, you impact and kollege them. All doubt and disbelieve have left your mind.Youre committed.Few people have confidenceMost people have an incredi bly weak relationship with commitment. People break commitments to themselves all the time. They perpetually lie to themselves. As a result, few people have genuine confidence.Confidence is not something you can fake. Its a reflection of your relationship with yourself. And if you arent consistent with yourself, then you dont love yourself.When you cant trust yourself to do what you tell yourself youre going to do, youre not going to make any real decisions. Rather, youll dwell in a state of indecision, which is a weak and powerless state.Most people are too afraid to commit to anything because they already know theyre going to break their commitment.A challenge to anyone hearing something deeper from this messageIf you are feeling something inside of you wanting to be more in your life, I have a personal challenge for you.Make a decision today. Something youve wanted to do or have been planning to do for a long time.Commit to doing that thing.Right now. Do SOMETHING. Create action, right now. The moment you begin moving forward, you alter your trajectory and identity.Act now, or forever hold your peace.Resolve within yourself that you already have it in you. If you didnt, it wouldnt have been gnawing at you all this time.Research has found that when people commit to something, their desire to be seen as consistent drives them to act according to the commitment theyve made.Commitment has been defined as, Pledging or binding of an individual to behavioral acts.For example, one study found that people who made a public commitment to recycling were far more likely to do so than those who didnt make a public commitment.When you make a commitment, you develop a self-concept that lines-up with your new behavior. This perceptual shift is your cognitions, values, and attitudes aligning with your new behavior. Hence, your desire to be viewed as consistent - firstly to others and then eventually to yourself - shifts how you see yourself.You begin to see yourself based on the commitment youve made. Eventually, if your behavior matches your commitment for a long enough period of time (this study argues it takes around 4 months), your attitudes will also change.Fake it until you make it?No.Make the decision you want to. Eventually, you grow into that decision through your commitment and personal resolve.This isnt faking anything.Its living with intention.Its living with definiteness of purpose.So whats the challenge?Publicly commit to something to TODAY. Dont be rash or impulsive about this. Think about it for a moment. Make a plan That plan doesnt need to be elaborate. In the least, consider the goal you have and a few sub-goals that would be required to achieving your larger goal.Research has found that non-planned reward-seeking is the fastest path to impulsive behavior.Dont put the cart before the horse.But make a decision.Make it highly public.Pass your personal point of no returnBeyond a certain point there is no return. This point has to be reached. - Franz KafkaThe best decisions you can make are the ones you cannot take back. My wife recently gave birth to two beautiful twin girls. I cant go back on that. My life is forever changed. It was a point of no return.Im completely committed. And those two girls are an everpresent reminder that I need to be better. That I have big shoes to fill. They are the conditions that force me to become the kind of man I already want to be.Do you have an environment that represents 100% commitment?If youre not 100% committed, then you still havent decided. If you still havent decided, then youll be required to use willpower, which will eventually fail you.The scientific term for willpower is decision fatigue, and what it really means is that you havent actually made a decision. The moment you make a decision, theres no more question about what youre going to do.Youre not going to eat the cookie.Youre going to wake up when the alarm goes off.The decision has been made.

Youre now being 100% true and honest with yourself and your dreams.No more holding back.No more being unsure.And because youve made a decision, the universe will now conspire to make it happen for you.

Leave yourself no outlet.Make it a habit, your deepest devotion, to respond to your conscious voice immediately.

Cultivate a Healthy Business Culture for your Small Business

Cultivate a Healthy Business Culture for your Small BusinessCultivate a Healthy Business Culture for your Small BusinessCultivate a Healthy Business Culture for your Small Business Blaszczyk, Managing Editor, Resource CenterWhat does it take to build a healthy geschftsleben culture for your small business?For an informed answer, we sought out an expert writer Patrick Lencioni.As author of many bestselling books, including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Lencioni has consulted thousands of organizations on how to generate successful productivity, including Fortune 500 corporations, professional sports teams and others.In this interview, we asked Lencioni for his insights to which he added his four disciplines for generating organizational health.Monster Your latest book, The Advantage, emphasizes the importance of organizational health and its impact on business culture.Has the recession impacted the health of many companies?Lencioni I think the recession has highlighted the issue in some ways. In tight economic times, companies cannot throw money at people to keep them happy and they cannot afford to overinvest in any one area of the business.Addressing the health of an organization provides an opportunity to conduct business in a new way one that maximizes human potential and aligns the organization around a common set of principles.Using The Advantage does not cost organizations money just time and commitment.Monster What are the signs of an unhealthy organization?Lencioni Poor meetings,politics and confusion, stalled decision making, silos, un-wanted employee turnover.Monster Is organizational health essentially the saatkorn for large and small companies?Lencioni Yes, the tenet s for organizational health are the same regardless of industry, location and company size. We have seen companies of all kinds transform themselves by addressing health.The advantage smaller organizations have is they tend to be nimbler and can make actionable changes faster.Mon ster How can smaller companies with fewer resources and personnel practice it effectively?Lencioni Mastering the four disciplines of organizational health does not require dedicated resources or personnel.For organizational health to be effective, the leaders of the organization must be fully committed to the principles and set aside the time required to create and sustain a healthy organization.Monster What are four disciplines? How does the process work?Lencioni An organization doesnt become healthy in a linear, tidy fashion. Like building a strong marriage or family, its a messy process that involves doing a few things at once, and it must be maintained on an ongoing basis in order to be preserved. Still, that messy process can be broken down into four simple steps or disciplines1. Build a Cohesive Leadership TeamThe first is all about getting the leaders of the organization to behave in a functional, cohesive way. If the people responsible for running an organization, whether th at organization is a corporation, a department within that corporation, a start-up company, a restaurant, a school or a church, are behaving in dysfunctional ways, then that dysfunction will cascade into the rest of the organization and prevent organizational health. And yes, there are concrete steps a leadership team can take to prevent this.2. Create ClarityThe second step for building a healthy organization is ensuring that the members of that leadership team are intellectually aligned around six simple but critical questions see these below.On topics ranging from why the organization exists to what its fruchtwein important priority is for the next few months, leaders must eliminate any gaps that may exist between them, so that people one, two or three levels below have complete clarity about what they should do to make the organization successful.3. Over-Communicate ClarityOnly after these first two steps are in process (behavioral and intellectual alignment) can an organization undertake the third step over-communicatingthe answers to the six questions.Leaders of a healthy organization constantly and I mean constantly repeat themselves and reinforce what is true and important. They always err on the side of saying too much, rather than too little. This quality alone sets leaders of healthy organizations apart from others.4. Reinforce ClarityFinally, in addition to over-communicating, leaders must ensure that the answers to the six critical questions are reinforced repeatedly using simple human systems.That means any process that involves people, from hiring and firing to performance management and decision-making, is designed in a custom way to intentionally support and emphasize the uniqueness of the organization.Monster What role does the CEO play in creating a healthy business environment?LencioniI believe the single biggest factor in determining whether an organization is going to get healthier or not is the genuine commitment and active involvement of the person in charge.For a company, thats the CEO. For a small business, its the owner. For a school its the principal, and so on.Monster Some CEOs or bosses promote conflict among their leadership team, believing that it generates organizational health. What are the ground rules to healthy conflict?LencioniHealthy conflict is centered around ideas, not people or personalities. Healthy organizations encourage ideological conflict, which is the willingness to disagree, even passionately, around important issues and decisions.Monster What distinguishes healthy workplace conflictfrom unhealthy conflict in any size business?Lencioni We want our teams to be engaged in all the constructive conflict they can possibly have, without the conflict becoming destructive or interpersonal. This balance is impossible to get right every time. Teams must learn how to occasionally cross the line and manage it positively.Monster Small businesses are often run by one person. Can they benefit from p racticing some of the principles of team leadership? If so, how?Lencioni Yes, certain aspects of the model can help an individual proprietor. In particular, the six critical questions will help a business owner get clear about why he/she is in business, what business success looks like, and how to go about doing it.The six critical questions areWhy do we exist? The answer to this question will yield a core purpose, or the fundamental reason the company is in business.How do we behave? This question examines behaviors and values required for success.What do we do? This answer provides a simple, direct explanation of the business.How will we succeed? This question requires the team members to develop a strategy.What is most important, right now? The answer to this question is the establishment of a unifying thematic goal and action plan.Who must do what? This question addresses roles and responsibilities.Read more from Patrick Lencioni A Prescriptionto Increase Productivity and Employ ee MoraleAuthor BioPatrick Lencioni is a best-selling author, speaker and consultant with over two decades of experience working with CEOs and their executive teams.

Dodging the Job Interview Question of Age Again and Again

Dodging the Job Interview Question of Age Again and AgainDodging the Job Interview Question of Age Again and AgainBrian Haley keeps trying to dodge irrelevant questions about his age as HR managers invent new ways to ask.Brian Haley finds it frustrating to face the same questions again and again as he interviews for jobs. Questions that he knows have no bearing on his ability to do the job but have everything to do with his age.Haley, who is currently working as a consultant in facilities management and looking for fulltime employment in the field, is 59 years old and has been employed for more than three decades. But he contends that only his past 10 years of employment have a direct connection to his current job search, and he limits his resume and job applications to that period.At a job interview in early summer, he said, the first question he welches asked by the interviewer welches why he didnt fill out all of his previous employment.I explained to herbei that my experience bef ore was not relevant to the job I was applying for, he said. I said we should work with current, relevant information. She was persistent in asking for it, he recalled. So much so that when she asked for the date of his first job, he relented and told her. It was a very brief interview after that.It raised my eyebrows, he said. My (resume) had been packaged by a recruiting firm that had previous dealings with the employer, and my experience fit the position requirements like a shoe. But I never heard back. And, when I tried to contact the recruiter after the interview, I never received a call back. Haley felt he was qualified for the job, and the reason he wasnt contacted for a second interview is that he was too old.Since then, Haley tries to avoid answering job-interview questions that attempt to identify his age. It came up in a recent interview when he was asked to present a drivers license, which has a birth date on it, he said. I dont think this is something you need to hand o ver at an interview, but can you say no? (See main story for the answer to this question.)I do my best to be diplomatic, he said. If they ask about college graduation dates, I tell them I graduated, and with what type of degree. If they ask, Are you looking to retire soon? I answer with, I assume you have a good retirement plan. Do you use it? I have put off questions about how long I have lived at my current address. I am trying to send a message to the interviewer that we shouldnt go down this road. But these sorts of questions have been rampant.His efforts to avoid confrontation have met mixed results. He said in the more than three dozen interviews he has had in the past two years (some for contract work and others for full-time employment), some human-resources managers will not follow up on questions he declines to answer, while others will continue to push until they get a response.No matter why they ask the questions, Haley thinks employers dont know what they are missing. To discount all this experience during the hiring process is such a shame, he said. They are summarizing the candidate by a first impression and discounting everything else over his or her age. We all have a lot to contribute.
