EM4S: Empower your Mind for Success

God does not create junk and if we all have unlimited potential, then how is it that a very few of us achieve it. How can they leverage the science and principles that work for all humans the same way? The first step is intent and then you need to remind yourself of your dreams. Under this context, you can begin the investigative journey and ask yourself why do you believe what you believe. You will find your answers.

A good leader must demonstrate accountability as it feeds into other attributes of being professional, ethical, and integral. The words that a leader uses become very important and have to be chosen carefully, cause those words when a person hears repeatedly become thoughts that reshape your belief systems and the decisions you make in life. Ensure you are following good leaders and mentors!

When you repeatedly hear or do things you think of them repeatedly think of them. The more you think those thoughts the more ingrained they become. The more ingrained they are they become your belief patterns and your belief patterns become your belief systems. Your decision-making framework leverages the belief system to decipher right from wrong!

Continuing on the discussions in episode #174 and understanding why people make certain decisions they do, it is to understand where decisions are made in the mind and what is the decision-making framework. Why do beliefs become so important in our decisions.

Imagination when practiced vividly and daily allows you to create a ritual to find tranquility and calmness in your mind. A calm mind is a calm body.

And when you can focus more you will achieve more.

Humans are colonies of more than 50 trillion cells. All these cells carry a genetic memory that is based on the basic premise to strive for growth and achieve more and more.

Dreaming and chasing our dreams down is one of the main purposes of our lives. If we have forgotten our dreams then what are we living for? And isn't then our life one of mediocrity?

When you have clarity and focus on what you want and what your purpose is, you have triggered the laws of the universe and the science to transform your want into desire and your desire into a burning desire. When your desire is a burning desire your dream will become a reality! Nothing can stop you!

In 1936 Napolean Hill in this book 'Think and Grow Rich' explained 'Auto-suggestion' as one of the steps to get rich. 50 years later Dr. Sahd Helmstetter explained the concept of Neuroplasticity in his book 'What to say when you talk to yourself'. In this podcast, I make an attempt to explain the connection between them and why auto-suggestion is a science-based principle.

Over time we all get conditioned to respond a certain way to certain stimuli or a trigger from the environment. This automatic response helps us to keep ourselves safe, but they also become hurdles on our way to our dreams. The good news is there is a way you can change your response.

Meditation helps calm your mind down to allow the radio of your mind to tune itself into the right thoughts and ideas for you. The more you practice this the better thoughts you receive and these thoughts form stronger neural pathways in your brain leading you to achieve what you are looking for!

If you are not happy with the answers you find in your life, maybe you should consider changing the questions you ask!

You can only give to others what you have, and if what you have is limiting beliefs you might be unintentionally, passing that along! So upgrade your limiting beliefs and pass on positivity and encouragement to others around you!

Your results in life come from the actions you take, the actions that you take repeatedly. Repeated actions become your habits. Your actions come from your thoughts. The main starting question is what kind of results are you looking for and they better be based on an identity change.

Constructive feedback is to help you course-correct and get back on the path towards your dreams and goals. Being too sensitive to this feedback will hurt you in the long run!

A very important question to ask and you may have to go into your ancestral history to find some answers. But it is imperative you do if you would like to get your time back!

Humans are designed as goal striving machines and Dr. Maxwell Maltz in his book "Psycho-Cybernetics" does an amazing job explaining this. A must-read book if you have not already read it. However, the question is whose goals are you striving for? Are they your parents, your families, or yours? If you want to feel you lived a meaningful life, a worthy life, you have to be brutally honest with yourself to answer this question.
