CyrusYung — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:39:44 +0000

Not all people who talking to themselves are crazy. Sometimes, we just don’t realize it but we are talking to ourselves most of the day. It is a like a radio inside our head. It is talking to us and reminding how silly, bad or good we are. It also serves as our critics in our actions. Worse, it can change our mood and outlook into something pessimistic.

The voices in our head sometimes cause negative to us. It sometimes dictates us what to do and what to do not. For an instance, if you want to apply for a job or change your life into something productive, this voice will object your plan and will feed you fears and in turn, you will be afraid to try what you have planned beforehand. This will control your life and decision if you are going to let it. Yes, it can be helpful sometimes but you have to make sure that it won’t control you but it’s you who will control it.

But don’t you worry just yet. There are some steps you can try to get rid of those negative voices and self-talks. Those voices will turn into something positive and will be your avid fan later on. Here are those:

Step #1 – Listen and be aware to the voices in your head

Mostly, we are just letting the negative voices to come and go off our minds. Try to listen to them once in a while. Be aware on how it speaks to us. Is it saying same thing over and over? Is it judging and criticize our actions most of the time? Also, know what the effect of those voices to you. Sometimes, we are just letting those negative voices leads us and in turn, we are being controlled by it. As a matter of fact, negative self-talks deceive us. It feeds us fears and doubt. Thus you have to listen, focus and be ware on what this voice is saying and causing to you. You will be able to determine who is really controlling you.

Step #2 – Asses your Inner Voice

There are two voices in our inner – the positive and negative. What kind of voice do you think speak to you most of the time? Is it the voice of doubt and fear? Is it causing you agony? Is it making you feel down? Or maybe you can hear some positive voice that gets over with the negative one? Then you should be glad. You have to practice talking to your positive voices more often. You can easily recognize if it’s a positive voice. It can make you feel joyful and happy. In a long run, you will feel optimistic towards life.

Step #3 – Talk to positive voices more Often

After you have determined which voice talking to you most of the time, you can now start change your negative talks into something positive. How? Pay attention and listen to the voice that making you feel good and ignore those voices that doing otherwise. Rather than listening to the voice that saying “everything I touch falls apart”, better listen to voice saying “I pull everything together”. Subconsciously, positive talks can make you act positively in turn.Similar Posts:

Do or Do Not, There Is Not Try

CyrusYung — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:03:43 +0000

I remember this scene while attending Date With Destiny in 2005, Tony Robbins share with us about the wisdom of Master Yoda. Master Yoda said to Luke Skywalker, “Do or Do not, There is No Try.”

Isn’t that true in life too, trying to do it is so weak, almost telling yourself that you will fail.

Since the 6 days with Tony in Date With Destiny in 2005, I tell myself that I will do it, if not I will not. Sometimes situation may not allow me to want to do it or I am not confident to do it. I will always go back to this movie clip to remember that I can do it. Enjoy…

Fighting for What’s Right

CyrusYung — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:51:43 +0000

I love Rocky movies, they are so inspiring to me. I am not sure about you, but I think they are a great investment to own. Below is a short video clip from Rocky Balboa The Movie, it is talking about Rocky coming back to the boxing arena when he is like around 60 years old. And the how the world around him tries to stop the champ from boxing again.

See the clip below:

As Rocky was train to fight in boxing matches, and has won two time heavy weight champion in his time. Now that he is old and wanting to return to the boxing arena to let his beast out again. Rocky finds that the world around him has their own opinion on not letting him return into the arena. Some make fun of him, some stop him, some angry with him, they are trying all ways to stop him.

They are not in the wrong for your info, they want to look out for Rocky, as he is old and going back to boxing might cause him his life. You see, whenever you make a radical decision about changing your life, some of the people around you will stop or even discourage you, why is it so?

It is because they do not want to lose you in their sphere of influence, in the case of Rocky is losing his life, so thus the official boxing committee was afraid that the legend will die during the fight, and the committee will be blamed for not doing their job. This is very normal and right for them. As we are living in a world where people have their own interest at hand, and doing what is right for them.

If you want to fight for what is right for you or fight for your dream, you got to stand against the known (your loved ones and friends) and the unknown (things that will happen if you take the path). Giving yourself and others a great reason why this is good for you, and that what you are doing is right for you. See how Rocky did it, he acknowledge the feedback from the committee, and telling them his reason why he should go back.

Getting to where you want to be is going to be tough, and that is a fact. No matter how hard you try the reciprocal force will apply the same strength back to you. How am I going to get what I want, or what’s right for me? This is going to need your persistent, determination, faith, planning, and most of all your reason WHY. This way you will live your life that you will not regret once you are gone, that is your right. Fighting what is right for you.

I Was Focused Towards Success

CyrusYung — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:29:53 +0000

I have something to confess to you, when I first start attending seminars years ago, I did not take action on the things I learned from the speakers. Were you like that before? Oh man!!! We are the same!!! Thank God I was not like that all along!

But things slowly changed as I continued to attend seminars (which cost a lot but now I look back was actually my best investments), my thoughts began to take action in reality.

I got a property, rented it out and am now making positive passive income from property rental. This property belongs to my family with my name on it, but it did not start off easy.

My grandfather has left us a fortune and was shared between my father, two uncles and me (eldest grandson in the family). After I began attending seminars (motivation, investment, property investment, etc..), I finally learned how to invest in property in theory B).

But it was only about 2 years later that my dad decided to go into property investment by renting out properties, after hearing my constant voice of property investment for almost 2 years.

He finally gave up and we ended up having a property with a very nice and affordable price to invest in.

Now generating positive passive income monthly has always been in my mind since I started attending seminars. Along the way I also learnt about various property investment issues. (Thank God, it was not very hard).

But the thing I want to share is that I was focusing my actions in creating a passive income from property investment. Although I want to purchase another property, but the property market now is not stable for us to enter.

What I am trying to say is that, if you are not focused in the first place and are not taking any action — you can always dream about your goal but will never come to you. Only through focus and action are that you are able to achieve the goals you want. And this I learned from Tony Robbins, and I am grateful that I learn from Tony in focusing in what I want.

If you are interested to know more about Tony, read Tony Robbins UPW In Singapore for more information.

There are a million ways to achieve success – but without being focused and taking actions, you will not be able to achieve anything.Similar Posts:

Christopher Howard: Turning Passions Into Profit Book Review

Aidah — Sun, 31 May 2009 17:54:51 +0000

Have you ever read a book and thought it rang so true – giving you that much-sought after life perspective you’ve been searching your whole life?

That’s how I felt after I read this book from cover to cover.

There was one particular chapter in the book that when I read it gave me some chills and kept me awake at night. That particular chapter is related to Einstein, the Universe and a particular scientifically-proven law of physics.It’s been a long time that a non-fiction book can move one so deeply but this book did!

I have to admit the title is a misnomer: the book is never about “turning a profit” or “how to get rich” book.

In fact it actually points you that the road to financial freedom actually lies in the area between your ears and deep within your heart.

Chris asks you to examine your inner thoughts and value systems through various NLP exercises.

As you go through the exercises faithfully, your natural being will start to change. You begin to understand that people struggle financially because they act as if wealth is something outside of themselves over which they have no power.

The individuals who are floundering in business, stuck in jobs they don’t like or frustrated about their lack of progress are the ones walking around saying:

“I would be rich, but I’m not because…my parents didn’t teach me any skills…I would’ve started my own business, but I couldn’t because…the bank wouldn’t give me a loan…because I didn’t go to the right school…because my spouse won’t let me….”

They are so busy searching for excuses for their failures, they won’t even see the opportunities all around them! When someone points the finger outside themselves, they rob themselves of power. They’re essentially saying that somebody else determines their results.

You then question yourself…Why would you do that?

This exceptional book by Christopher Howard titled “Turning Passions Into Profits” answers the following questions admirably:

What does it take to live a life of wealth and fulfilment?

Why does success seem to come so easily to some, while others struggle and fail?

And how do I build the kind of financial freedom I’ve always wanted, doing something I’m passionate about?

Exploring the background of various successful entrepreneurs like Oprah Winfrey and Richard Branson, Chris explains in the form of a mind-map what made them who they are.

He explains what happens when you Harness the Power of Focus:

If you were to take a 250-watt light bulb and plug it into a power source, you could light up a room. But if you directed that same 250 watts of energy through a laser, you could cut through steel.

That is the power of focus. Persistent focus is one of the most common traits of billionaires.

Warren Buffett once said, “I’m like a Tiger Woods, or a Michael Jordan…these people have an incredible ability to focus.”

From day to day, Buffett pours his attention on reading financial reports and analysing businesses so that he can interpret the numbers and recognise the investments that will pay off over time. Focusing on one objective intensively generates propulsion in the direction you want to go. So how do you access this kind of intense power of focus?

And more importantly, how do you direct it like that laser to cut a path straight to your dreams and create the life you personally desire?

First…Choose Goals You’re Passionate About. Focus and follow-through come naturally from passion. Thomas Edison was passionate about finding a way to harness electricity.

He kept his attention riveted on this one vision of homes staying lit even into the night, then he persisted through thousands of failed attempts until the light bulb literally lit up the world.

Bill Gates relentlessly pursued one clear intention— Microsoft would be the first to market with their Office operating system.

The stories behind both Gates’ and Edison’s success are rife with technical difficulties, personal challenges, stiff competition and outside resistance.

Yet, it was their single-mindedness of purpose that lent them almost super-human strength to overcome obstacles. Their focus and resolve proved a stronger force than any outer circumstances.

The truth is, no one is missing anything—every individual has the same potential to take charge of their financial situation, no matter your circumstances, level of education, or business experience.

Whatever wealth and fulfillment mean to you, YOU have the innate ability to make your unique visions a reality.

All you need to start is a dream…and this system of achievement, based on the beliefs, perceptions, skill sets and strategies of the most legendary billionaires and greatest leaders of nations. This book should be on the bookshelf of every entrepreneur.

Even if you don’t want to become a billionaire, learning to think and behave like one will blow the doors off of what’s possible for you, in life and in business.

Chris Howard is one of the world’s leading authorities on the psychology of wealth and accelerated personal achievement.

As entrepreneur and CEO of The Christopher Howard Companies, he has developed a system to replicate the success strategies of the world’s most legendary leaders and billionaires that has assisted long lasting, break through performance results.

Cashflow 101 Competition: What A Turnout!

Aidah — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:50:32 +0000

The Cashflow 101 Competition was great fun! Even on a Sunday morning, the exceptional turnout was impressive at Singapore Expo Hall 4. With over 600 people turning up and seated at over a hundred tables, the competition was well-underway by 9.30am.

Facilitated by one of the Rich Dad Advisors himself, Kelly Ritchie – it was fun to watch how participants played this game that closely reflects your attitude towards wealth generation.

After a brief introduction to the rules of the game, the game started off with great gusto thanks to the enthusiasm of the large crowd.

There is no doubt everyone wants to become rich but those who actually make it are so little. Some might even have asked these questions to themselves many times:

How come I’m not earning enough money?
How do I get paying clients that stick with me? Is my business model working right?
How come no matter how hard I work and earn, it is never enough?

As you play the game, you are presented with business opportunities (additional stream of income) or setbacks (being retrenched) or a new addition to the family (additional expenses).

Some players were retrenched three times in a row (really really bad dice throw) but surprisingly enough despite the early setbacks – there were those who actually managed to escape the rat race! Their passive income easily exceeded their expenses and liabilities. It was quite clear who will win the game.

The reason was that they clearly acknowledged and took advantage of business opportunities or great bargains (like an undervalued stock or property) presented to them. They took action and didn’t hesitate to create another stream of cash to come in.

The next question of course comes in: how do you train yourself to identify such opportunities when they come by? One way is of course through education and picking the right mentors to learn from. A clear example is of course Mr Bellum Tan who rose from humble beginnings to set up Rich Dad Asia and became a millionaire a few times over in the process. I’m sure one can easily guess who his mentors are.

The Cashflow game closely mirrors real life – life is just as unpredictable as the throw of the dice. It is said how you play the game reflects your mindset towards wealth creation. But one thing clear in the minds of the people who were present was that a single source of income is not a guarantee. In fact, it is a great risk especially in times of recession like now – to just depend on a single job.

It was a lovely and educational atmosphere to be in with every person taking away valuable lessons on cashflow importance and generating different income streams. And the winners clearly deserved their complimentary tickets to meet Robert Kiyosaki and his team of advisors who will be coming in May to Singapore!
