We live in a fast paced world. What was true yesterday should be questioned today. Either we develop the ability to change and adapt or we fall by the wayside. The age of dogmas is now passé. Everything is open to question and fluidity is the order of the day.

Time was when we could find security in familiar surroundings. That époque is now over. We must learn to surf with the tide of current events and situations. With the explosion of technology, we no longer live in a community but in a global village.

How then can we set our compass straight and keep our bearings in the midst of that turmoil? For that we need to turn to our basic values. Those can be seen as the North Star of the modern day sailors. Just as the North Star guided sea Captains for centuries, our basic values will guide us in the tumultuous and ever changing sea of life.

Our basic values are the fundamental beliefs that create the core of our character. Most of the decisions that we make are directed by those values. These values are incrusted in our self-image and perceived identity. They define who we believe ourselves to be.

Yet, given all their importance, most people have never taken the time to examine those values. No one would set out to sea with a faulty or unchecked GPS (Global Positioning System.) The same attention should be accorded to our values because they are the only one who can truly assist us in charting our way through an ever-changing world.

The first thing that needs to be done is to makeup a list of at least ten of our most important values. That list should be sorted out by order of importance and then evaluated one by one to make sure that those values are empowering and not conflicting with each other.

Your values could look something like this: 1. Health, 2. Personal Growth, 3. Family life, 4. Financial Security, 5. Relationships, 6. Adventure, 7. Contribution, 8. Spirituality, 9. Recognition, 10. Legacy.

Once the values have been sorted out by order of importance, they should be checked to ascertain that they are compatible and not conflicting. Someone who would have “adventure” and “security” as personal values is on a conflicting path. Adventure and security will not make compatible bedfellows. One of the two will have to be changed.

Our personal values are simply beliefs that we have acquired along the way. Our parents, our peers and the society in which we live have passed on most of them to us. Those beliefs are not cast in stone and they are not dogmas. They can be changed and they should be changed if they do not serve us the way that they should.

With our value clearly established, decision-making is no longer an issue. We know exactly where we intend to go; we know what’s important for us and what should be avoided at all cost. Our compass is set and even in turbulent times it’s easy to keep the cap in the intended direction.

We are the Captains of our ship and so long as we are guided by our fundamental values, the ship will stay safely on course. That is, so long as those values are dictated with quality and integrity in mind.

Seriously, if you are willing to invest just ten minutes a day toward achieving your goals using this technique, in less than a few months you’ll be amazed with the results. I know that it works because I’ve used it for over three decades.

The first thing that you need to do is to give yourself the title (and the job) of CEO for a business conglomerate who’s only mission and function is to manage your brain and see to it that it is as productive as it can possibly be.

The second thing that you need to do is to see yourself as two distinct individuals. The first is the CEO whose main function is to define where the conglomerate (which is you) is going, what its goals and objective are and the strategies to get there.

The second person is the manager who will implement the CEO’s strategies. Now it’s very important to respect the integrity of these two persons. When you’re the CEO, you think and act as a CEO and when you’re the manager you only act as a manager.

The reason for that is simple. As a CEO you may have to make demands that the manager may not be quite comfortable with. However, as manager he has no choice in the matter. He simply has to follow the boss’ orders.

At first sight, this role-playing may seem a little silly. So what? It works. That is, it works if you work it. That’s the recipe and like any recipe, if you don’t use all the ingredients the way that they should be used, the finished product will not be what it was supposed to be.

Now that the stage is set, it’s time for the nitty-gritty of the ten minutes exercise. That ten minutes daily period will be devoted to the CEO’s personality and it will consist of working on the conglomerate’s Journal.

No responsible company or organization would even dream of working without a Journal. That’s a book in which the mission of the company is defined. It’s a place where the objectives are recorded along with the strategies necessary to reach these objectives. In the case of a one-person organization that book is called a Personal Planner.

The Personal Planner consist of a small loose leafs binder with separators for the different subjects to be treated. These subjects should include: the overall mission or prime objective of the individual, a list of all the goals with the strategies to reach these goals, a “must do today” list, a list of important contacts along with pertinent info regarding these people. Other items or subjects can also be included if so desired.

Once you’ve created the two personalities (CEO and Manager) and that your Personal Planner is set up, all you have to do is to spend ten minutes a day doing the planning and deciding what should absolutely be done for that day.

The exercise is extremely simple in it’s application and will give tremendous results so long as both personalities take their function seriously and conscientiously. Running a large conglomerate or a single individual only differs in the size of the organization. The principles are the same and so should be the methodology.

Take yourself seriously, manage and conduct yourself in a professional way and you will reap outstanding results. It cannot fail. The best of luck… and see you at the top.

This quote by Mr. Andretti sums up the messages that can be found in most books on motivation, success or achievement. They are very powerful words that carry an essential message about the science and art of success. However in that quote and in most works treating the subject of achievement one element is blatantly missing.

The teachings of self-improvement focus intensively on attitude but it is sorely lacking on character building. Even with the best attitude in the world, true success is not attainable if there is a character flaw. It would be wrong to say that successful people share the same character traits as those who are still struggling.

To be truly effective, any work done on self-improvement should concentrate more on character building than on attitude, techniques or methods. Before it is possible to achieve, a person has to be the kind of person that can do the type of things that needs to be done in order to get whatever the person is after.

Success is more attracted than pursued. If we ask successful people how they managed to acquire their success, the answer is invariably the same. They will say that it was easy. They cannot even understand why anyone else could not do it. The reason for that is simple. These people were already successes before they became successful.

How can you be a success before you become successful? Success is above all a state of mind. A person who feel like a success will think and act like a successful person and reap the rewards. A person who simply would like to become a success probably won’t achieve more that stay at the level of an “I-would-like-to-be-a-success.”

Maxwell Maltz of psycho-cybernetic fame says, “Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment” To get the things that we want the most, the first thing that need to be done it to change the self-image. In order to do that, a fundamental change in character is required.

If we want to change the results that we get in any area of endeavor, the first thing that must be done is a change in self-image and the only way that a true change in self-image can be affected is by changing our character.

According to Stephen Covey, our character is basically a composite of our habits. So, to changes character and thus change the self-image, we must change our habits; especially change the habitual way that we perceive ourselves.

A new thinking pattern has to be created regarding the self-image. The negative self-views have to be erased from the mind and be replaced by the image of the vibrant, effective and successful person that we basically are. We were born successes; at age three we were the most important person in the world.

Sadly, as time flew by, we experienced setbacks. Instead of experiencing those setbacks as learning experiences, they were viewed as evidences of personal flaws. In many cases, the self-image suffered permanent damages.

Anyone who is serious about a life of success and achievement has to restore that winning self-image. Until that is accomplished, the best intentions and the best techniques on self-improvement are not much more than vague and ephemeral theories. We have to be… before we can do… before we can have.

Crushed expectancies create frustration which in turn leads to crushed self-image, blows to self-worth and major damage to self-confidence. The number one cause of procrastination is the very real fear of frustration and its demoralizing effect.

Most of us have been there. We gave our best. Success seemed assured, and then the sky fell on us. Some unexpected event happened and our dream was shattered. We were left very sad, broken and we swore that it would never happen again. No more big dreams for us. We simply could not risk going through that again. Simply too painful.

The saddest part in all of that is the fact that all that pain could have been avoided by taking a slightly different approach in the pursue of our goals and objectives. That is, if we had understood that those goals and objectives are not really what we ultimately were after. What we truly want is to feel good.

If what we truly want is to feel good, maybe we should make an in-depth search into what makes us feel good. Of course, reaching an objective that we’ve been after for a long time will make us feel good. But that goal-reaching happiness usually last a relatively short period of time. Once an objective has been reached, we get used to it and we’re ready for something else.

On the other hand, there is another source of “feeling good” that is under our control and that can last as long as we are willing to put in the efforts to keep it going. That is the “feeling good” sensation that we get when we understand that we are performing at the highest level that we possibly can – that we are improving, growing and expanding as individual.

Nothing can bring sweeter and longer lasting satisfactions than victories over ourselves. It boosts self-confidence, improves the self-image, increases personal power and gives a tremendous sense of mastery over life itself. It’s an ego pleaser and a self-builder.

Victories over self do not depend on the successes achieved but on the performances given. An outstanding performance against a formidable objective that is not attained is a greater victory over self than achieving success in a lesser quest. Climbing Mount Everest only half way is a much greater success then the victory found in reaching the top of the local sky slope.

Frustration can be avoided by conducting our life in a way that we have total control over our expectations and by according only secondary importance over the factors over which we have little or no control. Vince Lombardi said, “Winning isn’t everything, but the will to win is everything.” He was right…

We may not have complete control over the outcome of an undertaking but we have complete control over the dedication and efforts that we put fort. When we are mature enough to understand that, frustration is no longer an issue.

The only possible way to expand and grow is by tackling challenges and obstacles that are bigger than we are. That’s how we get bigger and stronger. It’s how we get to reach down in the debt of our soul to set free those elusive resources that we did no even know that we had.

A weight lifter who fails in an attempt to lift ten pounds more than he ever lifted before will not be frustrated. He knew before hand that failure was a real possibility but he also knew that he had to try if he wanted to grow and improve. The same principle also applies to us. We have to try and risk failure but we must also know that real growth is the result of multiple failures. Once we’ve understood that, frustration is no longer an item on our agenda.

Stress has been the subject of more than 20,000 scientific studies and according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stress accounts for two-thirds of family doctor visits and half the deaths to Americans under the age of 65.

So, if stress is such a health hazard, how can it best be avoided? Over three decades of clinical work have shown me that the best possible way of avoiding the effects of stress is to be passionately involved in something that we love to do.

A mind actively involved in pleasant and creative work has no place or time for stress. That is the reason that so many highly successful individuals are still hard at work when it’s way past retirement age. These people have understood that life is about growing and evolving.

So long as a man is happily involved in a self-growth process, there are very few chances that disease will strike. Pleasant work is never health threatening. The mind and the body require exercise. The adage that says, “What you don’t use, you loose” is true. It could be said that the body is more likely to rust-out than wear-out.

Our physiology (body chemistry) is directly affected, either advantageously or adversely, by the mood that we are in. This fact has been confirmed by studying people affected with Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder.) Patients with that condition may be diabetic under one personality and normal while under another one. Eye color changes along with extreme variations in blood pressure have also been know to occur as the personality changes from one to another.

Another classic that shows the powerful influence of a person’s mood on the healing process is Norman Cousin’s story. Mr. Cousin, a prominent political journalist, author, professor, and world peace advocate, was diagnosed with a form of arthritis then called Marie-Strumpell’s disease (ankylosing spondylitis.) and was told that he had little chance of surviving the condition.

Faced with that very gloomy prognostic, Mr. Cousin decided to leave the hospital and move to a beautiful hotel suite where some of his comedian friends could come and entertain him. To his amazement, he discovered that spending quality time with upbeat people had a very powerful therapeutic effect.

In a matter of months, he completely recovered from the illness and spent the remaining of his life-giving lecture advocating the healing power of laughter. His story was published in a book called, The Anatomy of an Illness and a movie based on the book was made.

Every expert agrees that our moods and feelings have a profound effect of our health and wellbeing. Many forms of arthritis, some cancer and other debilitating diseases are also known to be highly influenced by stress and other emotional disorders. The states of our mind and body are most intimately related. What affects one, affects the other.

The prescription for health is simple. Live your life in a fashion that it provides tons of pleasure and very little pain. It’s the secret for wellbeing and it’s also the description and definition of success.

We need consistency to establish some certainty and order in our world. What we don’t need is rigid consistency where everything becomes so familiar and so automatic that we go through life half asleep, half hypnotized and simply reacting to outside stimulus or the time of day.

Consistency is a power tool and like powerful tool it can be used to enhance the quality of our life as it can be used to stifle it. When consistency is used with discernment, it can be most helpful however when it turns into rigidity, it becomes one of our worst nightmares.

Gerald Burrill said, “The difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.” It could also be said that the difference between living and existing is awareness. Living is proactively interacting with a diversity of events and situations; it is seeking personal growth while chasing dreams, enjoying successes and learning from failure.

A Zombie’s existence where outside influences dictate the course of our responses and actions is not living; it is surviving. Going automatically through the same patterns over and over again half asleep is far from savoring the joys of living. It is simply a prelude to burial time.

The more refined a machine or a living being is, the more options it has. The dinosaurs, in term of machines or humans, had very few options. With growth come more refinements, which in turn provide greater flexibility. Flexibility then provides more options available to taste a larger spectrum of life’s experiences. Something that is rendered moot by rigid consistency.

The only constant in life is changes. Nothing stands still, nothing stands forever. As technology and the sciences advance at an ever-increasing rate, man needs to adapt or fall by the wayside. Consistency is getting to be more and more obsolete. Time marches on and so must we.

Even our core values and fundamental beliefs have to be questioned. Those are not dogmas fixed for eternity. What was true yesterday no longer stands. A new reality is being created every instant. To stand in, witness and participate in that ever-changing reality we must evolve, change and grow.

For many, changes are scary. This is especially true as people get older. Children love changes. They are always ready to experiment and try something new. It is said that getting old is a matter of rigidity; the ultimate rigidity being rigor mortis. So if consistency is on the way out and changes become the order of the day, we must rekindle that acceptance and love of changes that we had as children.

We still need consistency to establish some stability and certainty in our world and in our life. However that consistency will have to be dynamic and not static. As the Eagle can maintain consistency in flight and nature can have consistency in its eternal change, man has to find his consistency in his potential to adapt and change.

Just as a rock used to be a rock and a drop of water used to be water and now both are nothing but energy, man’s needed and wanted consistency is no longer stable and static but changing, flowing and adapting. There are no longer other realities – but this also will change.

One thing is certain, the mindset required to reach a big goal is very different from whatever is needed to reach a smaller one. No one can ever hope to make it to the top of Mount Everest with the same level on thinking that is required to climb the mountain three miles down the road from home.

The scope of the mindset has to be proportional to the size of the goal. Newton’s third law of motion that say, “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction” is also applicable to goal achieving. If a goal is pushed hard enough it will materialize. If not, it will simply fall by the wayside.

A big goal requires a proportional amount of motivation, enthusiasm, focus, work and dedication. Those elements can only spring from the desire spawned by the reason to accomplish that specific goal.

In other word, if there is a big enough reason to accomplish something, the energy, the passion and the dedication needed will automatically spring forth and become available. A person sustained by a big enough reason to do anything will find the wherewithal necessary to climb any mountain or slay any dragon.

So, even before the final decision is taken to start on a huge project, some deep thinking and soul-searching should be done on the reason and motivation behind that objective. The reason/motivation behind the project is the motor that will propel it to completion. It is very important to ascertain that this “motor” is powerful enough to sustain the endeavor to completion. If not, a booster must be found or the project abandoned.

In his book, The Art of War, written over two thousand years ago, Sun Tzu said, “Every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought.” That axiom is still true today. The fate of any major project is decided in the planning process.

Big goals require big planning. It is at that stage that the ultimate fate of the project is sealed. As a tall building needs a solid foundation, a huge project or objective needs some solid planning.

Solid planning requires experience that the planner may not have. That, in itself, should not be a major obstacle. There is nothing new under the sun. Someone, somewhere has already gone near where anyone would ever want to go. By emulating what has already been done, most of the planning process can be accomplished on a solid and tested basis.

The final element needed to accomplish almost any goal is the ability to work incrementally. That is, to cut any task into chewable bite size. It is said that it is possible to eat a whole elephant so long as it is done one bite at the time.

The same olds true for any major project. Viewed as a whole, it may seem unattainable. Cut down into smaller chunks, it could be said to be a piece of cake.

Confucius said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” So does a gigantic goal. Almost anything is possible so long as, 1) there is a good enough reason to do it, 2) a solid plan is established, 3) previously trodden paths are followed and, 4) the project is cut down to workable single units.

Great people are not born. They are made. They became great by standing on their achievements. Today’s technology has given the tools and opportunities to surpass anything that has ever been done before. It’s just there waiting for us to claim our birthrights.

That may be a sound moral lesson to teach children; unfortunately it has nothing to do with reality. Our actions have consequences. Most of the time there will a price to pay for unacceptable behavior but there are no guaranteed that good behavior will in any way protect us against misery and heartaches.

This is in no way an indictment against a good moral lesson but it is a wakeup call to reality. If being good and nice is not a reward in itself, there are absolutely no guarantees that it will be rewarded otherwise.

Bad things can be avoided by being smart and wise and not by being good and nice. If truth were told, there is some truth to the adage that says that nice guys finish last. Now, that does need some explanation.

There is a huge difference between having and following a strong moral code and being good. A strong moral code is a trait of character whereas being good implies having a good disposition.

In a professional life, having a strong moral code is always an asset however the tendency to be overly nice and good can be a serious liability. The business world is not ruled by sentiments. It is ruled by good judgment and a sense of fairness.

With good judgment and fairness, equity rules. When sentiments rule, chaos and disruptions are bound to happen. Again, this may sound harsh but it’s the reality that we have to live with.

That being said, it must be added that, if being good is done for the sake of being good, and it does not interfere with good judgment and a sense of fairness, it can bring a tremendous sense of satisfaction and personal happiness.

It is said that no good deed will go unrewarded. That may be true and it probably is. But being good to prevent bad things from happening to us simply is not sound and mature judgment.

When bad things happen to us, and they will, it’s not a sign that we’re being punished for something bad that we did. It is just the Universe unfolding as it should. We are all part of the grand scheme of things, most of which we cannot understand. So it is not for us to pass judgment on the value of life’s vagaries and caprices.

In many cases, what seemed to be major catastrophes at the time, turnout to be blessings in disguise. We can only view events with limited lenses. It is only with hindsight that the true nature of those seemingly bad events can be disclosed.

We have limited control over our ultimate faith. Nothing that we can say or do will protect us completely from bad experiences. However, when so called “bad luck” happens, we should certainly not see that as being a form of punishment for past bad deeds. It probably has nothing to do with faults of our own.

What we can do though, is to try to learn from those regretful incidents and do whatever that we can to grow as a result the hindsight that it has given us.

Being a good and caring person has its own inherent reward. It may not prevent the bad but it will enhance the good. So, let’s live by the golden rule and hope for the best.

Though most people are familiar with the term “caring” few know what it really means. Caring is a sense of identification with what one is doing. When we truly care about whatever it is that we are doing there is no separations between subject and object.

In other words, when caring, we become at one with whatever we are doing. We are so totally involved in whatever we are doing that the world around us stops existing and all that truly matters is the work at hand.

There is no inherently important or unimportant task. We get to decide on its importance. Writing a letter or making a flower arrangement can be as important as being at the elm of a huge cruise ship. We get to decide how important anything that we are involved in actually is.

The reason that we should care about everything that we do is because we are actually defined more by what we do than by who we are. Just think of Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo. Had they not cared about their work, would they be famous now?

Anything that we do is an expression of who and what we are. Our signature is imprinted on everything that we do for the entire world to see. To neglect our work is to neglect who we are.

In his classic book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert Pirsig had this to say when talking about motorcycle repair, “The real cycle you’re working on is a cycle called yourself. The machine that appears to be “out there” and the person that appears to be “in there” are not two separate things. They grow toward Quality or fall away from Quality together.”

In other words, the quality of our work defines the quality of who we are. A sloppy person will not do quality work and a quality person will not do sloppy work. What we are and what we do are so closely interwoven that they cannot be separated.

To care is to build a quality life. When seen in this optic, nothing that we do is ever boring. Each instant is just as important as the next so there is no rush to leave anything because whatever we do at any one moment is just as interesting and as important as the next.

The absence of caring is one of the worst plague of our century. People don’t care about anything and simply rush from thing to another hoping that whatever it is that the person is moving to will fill the inner void created by a meaningless existence.

It will not. A life is like an edifice. The edifice is built one brick at the time and a life is built one moment at the time. In either case, the care that each unit is given will determine the quality of the entire structure.

A fascinating life is built with caring moments. Cynics will say that life is too fast to care; that there simply is not enough time to do it. Caring does not require more time however it does require more self-discipline. A small price to pay for the privilege of leading a fascinating life.

Great people were great because they cared. Successful people were successful because they cared. Caring is what spells the difference between a fascinating life and an empty one. Caring is available to anyone who so chooses. Caring is the magic element that that fills a life and turns it into a masterpiece.

Our performance in any endeavor depends more on the state of mind that we are in at the moment than it does on our personal resources. Everyone remembers a moment when they acted brilliantly. They even amazed themselves. Sadly, we can also recall times that we wish we could forget. The question that comes to mind when recalling those incidents is, “How could I have been so dumb?” It has happened to the best of us.

The quality of any performance depends on the state of mind that we are in at the moment. States of mind can vary from feeling almost powerless to being completely vibrant and energized. The secret to Personal Power is to be able to have access to our most effective state of mind whenever needed.

The question then becomes, “How can we control our state of mind?” Here is what Tony Robbins has to say on the subject.

“One of the most powerful distinctions that I’ve made in the last ten years of my life is simply this: Emotion is created by motion. Everything that we feel is the result of how we use our bodies. Even the most minute changes in our facial expressions or our gestures will shift the way that we’re feeling in any moment, and therefore the way we evaluate our lives—the way we think and the way we act.”

In other words, we can change our state of mind by changing our facial expression, the way that we breathe and our posture. Sounds almost to simple and too good to be true. If you think so, just try to feel depressed while looking, breathing and standing as if you were Batman. You will be amazed. It cannot be done.

Out state of mind is also highly influenced by what we happen to focus on. Dwelling in negativity will make anyone feel depressed and worn down. Focusing on bright and pleasant subjects automatically uplifts the soul and brings a happy smile to anyone’s face.

Mastering states of mind is the key to effectiveness and Personal Power. It’s a skill that can be practiced and learned like any other skill. It’s a skill that most prominent people have developed and use regularly. When have we seen a major performer give a concert while looking down and depressed? Not happening. Same with late night talk-show hosts. Night after night, they come on looking as if they have just won the lottery.

These people are not special people. They are people who have learned how to master their state of mind. Now, if they can do it, why should we not also be able to do it?

The recipe is simple. Stand like a winner; take on the facial expression of a winner, breathe like a winner and very soon you’ll feel and act like a winner. When that is done, powerful messages are sent to the brain commanding it to conform to the body’s image. A message that the brain cannot disregard or refuse. There has to be a brain/body coordination so the brain will comply.

We possess amazing resources that lie dormant in the brain most of the time. Those exceptional resources become available only when we are in peak emotional states. With a little practice and some goodwill we can learn to access those peak emotional states whenever we want. That’s what the world’s movers and shakers have learned to do and that’s what makes them outstanding.

Personal Power is about being outstanding. To be outstanding we need full access of all our resources. Full access of our resources is only possible in peak state of mind. Those peak states of mind become readily available when we adopt a power physical stance. That’s not rocket science. Anyone can do it. Try it and amaze yourself.
