Inspiration Flashcards
Repetition and Learning
Repetition is the mother of all learning, the father of action, which means it is the architect of accomplishment.
Zig Ziglar
Moral Courage
Taking a Stand
“I feel sorry for the man who has never know the bracing thrill of taking a stand and sticking to it fearlessly.
Moral courage has rewards that timidity can never imagine. Like a shot of adrenaline, it floods the spirit with vitality. “ Billy Graham
Silence vs Truth Spoken
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
Czeslaw Milosz
My Superhero is Metamorpho
But the real superhero is You!
The creator!
To live in the world of creation— to get into it and stay in it—to frequent it, to haunt it—to think intentfully and fruitfully—to woo combinations and inspirations into being by a depth and continuity of attention and meditation—this is the only thing.
Henry James
The Governance of Mankind is Under 2 Sovereign Masters
Jeremy Bentham
“Nature has placed mankind under the governance of 2 sovereign masters, PAIN and PLEASURE.
It is for them Alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do…they govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think”
Learning and change
We don’t remember what we-
Read
See
Hear
We’re lucky if people remember what they do, maybe
We remember what we rehearse
What see, hear, say, read, do over and over again and again.
We don’t remember all stories or memories of events but we do remember stories we repeat over and over.
All the story telling we do requires frequency
Frequency = trust.
People need to know our name, our repeated story to search for us.
The One Thing
What Inspires you To Act?
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life- think of it, dream of it, live on it, that one thing.
Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.
This is the way of success.
Swami Vivekananda
The Principle of Effortless Success
When you get really clear and honest about you want, everything in the universe conspires to help you get it.
The Fires of Transformation
“Allow the fires of transformation to burn away all that doesn’t serve you”
Heather Ash Amara
Borrowing Fire
Hand Over the Fire
“I met a man once who said that they ‘didn’t have any fire’, and he had to go to Mr Somebody’s house and ‘borrow something fire’.
Well those words just hit me. They were electrical…something elemental about life”
Eudora Welty author
Three Mental Tips to Fat Loss
Tip# 1 No more excuses
There are no excuses only choices
- what excuses do you use?
- what stops you from changing?
- what do you allow that keeps you from changing?
- how much longer are you going to delay changing?
You don’t have what you want b/c you chose not to
You always have options; you chose not to
People hire us b/c we will not allow them to excuse their choices.
I don’t have time to…journal, prepare, count,
My family, my husband, my kids, …
Why not be real
Slipping up happens; doesn’t mean you don’t care but it does mean you chose it and must own it.
TIp # 2 Invest in motivation
It’s alive! It eats, it breathes, it begs attention, take me out for a spin every day.
We don’t invest in motivation. We expect it to be there. But it ebbs and flows.
It’s like you bank account- in and out.
“You need to spend $$ to make $$.”
You have to make debits in order to take credits.
3Steps to Motivating Motivation. You MUST invest in motivation or your accounts will go bankrupt. You will file for bankruptcy.
It’s all about pluses and minuses (++++- - - - )
Negatives are normal! Pluses are not! Negatives are automatic; pluses MUST be intentional.
When we pin all our hopes on one goal; that hope dies whether we achieve it and we don’t.
- Make motivation your life
Make constant motivation your objective.
Everyday is a day worth nurturing motivation.
- Like attracts more like
We settle. Misery likes company, motivation attracts inspiration.
Tip #3 Plan smart
If you fail to plan…
Make a plan, Do the plan, Talk about the plan
Fat loss is war. No war was ever won without a plan!
Missing results is missing in action
Maintain fwd momentum by seeing your results. Measuring you progress is vital.
Tip#4 Consistency Works Both Ways
We think of it in only positive terms but it can be good, bad or real ugly!!
There are good habits and bad habits.
Who you are over and over again is who your are.
What you do repeatedly is who you are
Consistency is not boring? If you are boring all the time, you are consistently boring.
Ask yourself, how was I consistent today? How was I consistent yesterday.
