B FOR BALCONY!

SUCCESS TABLETS IN ALPHABETIC ORDER.


Have you ever played or watched the game of chess? Things are not as clear to the player as they are to a spectator. When you are not playing the game, your perception differs from those who are playing. You can win the game easily from the terraces, and think the guy who loses is useless.

There is a concept taught at Lead Us Today, where i am a leadership facilitator. The Balcony concept. I would like to help you understand the power of perception in a way a balcony gives you a better view of things. It can be in your business, school work, love life or wherever. I want us to apply it in the real world, believe me you will begin to see the challenges and mistakes that have been hindering your progress. To live a better life or improve your business, you must be able to see patterns as if you were on a balcony. What you see from the top is what you apply on the field. Its like a diagnostic machine, it helps you identify a problem.

In a game of soccer! Players might not recognize the larger patterns of play that a coach or fan would easily identify. The players may become so engaged in the game such that they get carried away. Their attention is captured by the rapid motion, physical contact, and the pressure to win. All this pressure makes the players lose focus. They may not see who is open to pass, who is missing the block, or how the offence and defence work together.

What does that have to do with your dream? You may ask.

It means that in life, you may become so focused on just attaining your goal such that you ignore the necessary people. The pressure to score good grades will cause you to turn a blind eye to some good direction. Your mind becomes clouded with a lot of pressure. You do not know who to consult or what area to study to get to your desired profession. The pressure of life can cause you to shut your ears to some good advice, your perception becomes your own deception. You will judge according to appearances. You say to yourself, "This mountain is too high, its not possible, i will never succeed in business, i am just not good enough." Your talk becomes negative, all you see around you is defeat and failure.

Take some time to clear your mind, relax and leave those tasks for a moment. Where did you go wrong, who can help you solve that problem. Begin to identify people who can help you score, stop giving the ball to the keeper, you need a striker to score a goal. You cannot do it on your own. You will never appreciate the beauty of this world until you view it from the top. "Missionaries thought the world was flat until they sailed the oceans and discovered continents". Until you start passing the ball to the right people, then you begin to score. Get on the balcony today, i know you will see things differently this time. Change your perception today and live a better life tomorrow.

Thank you once again for visiting this page, i hope you have been challenged to embrace the power of perception using the balcony theory. Get on the balcony.
 
 
 

SUCCESS TABLETS IN ALPHABETIC ORDER!!!



A For Action

"Action is the foundational key to all success" Pablo Picasso

No one can achieve something out of nothing! The secret to achieving all your goals lies taking action. At this very moment or any given day, you have three choices set before you:

* Give up
* Procrastinate
* Take action

I you give up, forget about living a good life. If you choose to procrastinate, pushing your goals for a later date, you do not value your dream at all. If you are to take the third choice, congrats you are on your way to the 5% minority who make it in life. Its time to stop talking and start walking. You must take action.

Action is a principle that works for people who take the first step; if you do not take the first step, kiss success goodbye. Success does not belong to the elite minority; it belongs to people who decide to take action. It is not a possession of an influential group of people, but it is a tenure of them that quit talk and day-dreaming but begin the walk.

If today you commit to follow this principle of ACTION, you will shatter the shackles which appear to be holding you captive. When you decide and make a choice of achieving your goals, you will feel the urge to take action. It is the only way you will achieve your goals, it works as a springboard. If you are not taking any action, the path to success will just be an illusion.

There is a direct correlation between the degree of action you take and your success. There is no way you can make progress without an incredible amount of action. You cannot sit and wait expecting a big break by doing nothing.; get up, take action and make your own break.

Successful people take action every single day of their lives, every act takes them closer to their goals. Waking up early to do an exercise in the park is an act! Doing it once will not give you the desired result, but doing the same act every single day will give you the break.

Thank you for reading, i trust that you will now stop talking and start walking.Watch Out for the B tomorrow. Clarence T
