Deep down inside each and every one of us, we each have a special gift; a way to touch the lives and souls of others and make a difference.
Sadly, for far too many people, those unique gifts and any dreams of sharing them have been left to wither on the vine. You fall into the trap of believing that the routines and responsibilities of daily life take precedence; the dreams are put on hold, and then quietly forgotten.
Almost. (Because something nags at your soul!)
Eventually, even the will to take charge of your own destiny is lost, and you choose instead to react to lifeâs ups and downs, (mostly to the downs), hoping that a little luck will come your way someday.
Iâve personally rebelled against this all my life. I saw death in my family very young, and powerfully received the message that time is too precious to spend it doing what you donât love. I refused to let my dreams die, and one by one the grapes upon my vine of dreams have flourished.
Iâm happily married, I do what I love, (and love what I do) for a living, Iâm in good health and live in gorgeous rural England. In short, Iâm happy, healthy and fulfilled.
Yes, there was a climb, but the efforts have made the rewards even more precious.
What would have been the alternative?
You can spend your whole life being a martyr to your situation, but unless you are at least willing to entertain the idea that life doesnât happen to you, it responds to you, the best you can probably hope for is to make it safely to the grave.Â
Thatâs no adventure, and itâs not much of a legacy!
The key lies in taking control, not of your external situation, (manipulation never works out), but of your inner world.
People whoâve paid attention to their inner spirit in this way have gone on to change the world. Henry Ford, for example, went broke no fewer than five times in his career, and when he first postulated the idea of mass producing the motor car, everyone from his financial backers to his wife told him he was crazy!
Another gentleman was fired from his job on a newspaper because he âhad no good ideas and lacked imagination.â His name? Walt Disney!
My personal favourite is Oprah Winfrey who overcame seemingly impossible odds to become one of the most respected and best loved women in the world.
Itâs all very well for them, you may say.Â
They instinctively knew to follow their inner calling, and maybe they got lucky. But if thatâs not how youâre wired, and you find shaking off the shackles of your history difficult, what do you do?
A âshrinkâ can take years of your life and lumps out of your bank account. Besides, youâre not âbrokenâ so why would you need fixing? There are âpersonal potentialâ gurus, such as Anthony Robbins, (at whose feet I have sat), but his programs are prohibitively expensive for many people, and only available at specific times of the year.
It’s Never Too Late
Recent research into brain plasticity is opening up new hope for easy, fast inner growth, however. Science is starting to recognise that we can learn new material and even new behaviours at any age. (Although it must be said that psychologist William James pointed this out as long ago as 1890!)
NLP, (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), has long offered a powerful means for producing rapid and permanent change to create different results in our lives, and now we know it can take advantage of brain plasticity, it is surely the toolkit of choice.
As NLP grows in popularity, it will no doubt increasingly become the means by which people re-awaken their longings, find solutions to problems and resolutions to heal old wounds.
How Pioneers Are Born.
It isnât the world thatâs changing, itâs the inner world that changes first. This is how pioneers are born, how people overcome the odds being stacked against them, and start really living. NLP has the potential to bring about those changes very fast. As I mentioned before, life is too precious to waste time doing what you donât love.
Unfortunately, there are some NLP practitioners who have learned a handful of persuasion techniques, but who lack real personal experience of carving out their lives, and worse, donât look after the spirit of the person who entrusts their future and their dreams to them.
Whatâs really needed is a mature NLP coach who has done more than simply learn some tricks from a few text books or a course. And coaching is gentle and pervasive without being invasive. The combination of life experience and professional expertise is ideal.
A program such as âThe WoW Success Factorâ balances all of these. It allows time for the participants to take on board new ideas without swamping them whilst also giving access to the creator/guide whoâs already hacked through the jungle and cleared the path.
The âWow Success Factorâ program has been based not only on NLP but also on some other sound psychological principles too. For example, do you need telling to look after your health? No, of course not, even though youâre well aware that without good health life becomes extremely limited. Nevertheless, many people have a âdevil-may-careâ attitude to their health as we both know!
So the issue of health doesnât arise within âWow Success Factorâ until the student is motivated naturally to want to take care of it. And even then, the advice given is far from rehashed nagging you could find elsewhere!
The joy of the way the program has been laid out allows for the massive transformation in you and your life circumstances to all feel perfectly natural. Thereâs no effort involved, such that the student is almost inclined to look back in amazement with that feeling of, âThat was easy! I thought it was going to be really tough.â
When itâs all boiled down, itâs only âchanging your mindâ – something weâre all accustomed to, but which most of us donât realise can have profound positive effects on us, our personal happiness and success in life.
âWow Success Factorâ is nicely spaced over just nine months, with one instalment being delivered digitally every 30 days, so thereâs no long term commitment. Change is fast, but not so rapid itâs forgotten again the next day.
Unlike many other coaching programs it comes with a money back guarantee too, so you can try it for yourself to see how good a fit for you and your circumstances it is. Thereâs even a free trial period.
