I did an exercise many years ago in the course of another self development / business coaching program whereby the instructor set the scene (in your mind) where you walk into a dark room, the tone is somber and you see all of your friends and relatives and loved ones there…. he then goes on to describe that you are looking at your own funeral…. and you sit back and observe what people have to say about you as a person, the life you led, the fun you had and the effect you had on people over the course of your life….  It is a very powerful and sometimes, for some, quite traumatic way to take stock and realize what you do tomorrow and the day after that and so on for the rest of your life will indeed end up being your life - the sum total of your experiences and influence on others.

David Martin in the context of the Going for Gold Personal Development Program has got a much nicer, somewhat gentler way to go about the same thing.

He calls the exercise “Meeting the Wiser You”.

With his permission, I’ve decided to post an excerpt from that exercise here today so you get a taste of what this is like…. [Read more →]

So often I hear people say, “You just have to accept it” or “oh well - I guess that was just meant to happen” - fuey!

What I’ve come to learn over the past few years and this has been very much reinforced lately with my association with David Martin in becoming involved with the creation of the Go For Gold personal transformation program -  the reality is, the decisions we make and the subsequent actions we take, dictate what happens in the course of our lives - both in relation to achieving our long term goals and what happens to us, and how we feel about what happens to us, on a daily basis.

Sure, there will always be things that do happen that are outside of our sphere of control - however, how we react and the meaning we attach to those events is entirely controlled by us.

When you start to take this level of personal responsibility for your own actions and the subsequent outcomes that you get to enjoy - suddenly the world can become a very different place. Regardless of economy, the government, your boss or any other external factor that in the past you may have been tempted to “point the finger” at.

Not only is this liberating, it also allows you to feel very much more in control.  And when you feel in control and focussed - you are better able and of more use to, those around you.

If you are looking to make positive changes in your life and take control of your thinking, your actions and ultimately your financial well being, your health and your happiness, I’d really encourage you to start the Go for Gold program today!

Below is an intro video that David prepared to step you through what’s inside workbooks 1,2 and 3.

There is another video that shows workbooks 4,5 and 6 available here.

Thank you to every one that has provided feedback to date, we have enjoyed working with your comments and suggestions.

Two major things that came through - some people had problem viewing some of the videos on slower connections - as such I have reformatted all of these and changed our video delivery platform so it works much more efficently.

There have also been a number of queries as to what exactly is in the course, so we have prepared a chapter by chapter, detailed overview of what is in the course.

You can see that at http://goingforgold.wetpaint.com

David has also prepared this video which steps you through chapters 1,2 and 3 so you can get a sense of the level of detail and quality of material within the program.

Thinking and our individual process for thinking, is a learnt and largely unconscious thing

that we each do, when we are not consciously and deliberately thinking about something in particular.

That’s why we can successfully do simple things like walk down a busy street while chatting to a friend and

successfully negotiate most of the streets hazards like avoiding bumping into other people, all at the same time.

We’re not necessarily consciously thinking about it, yet we are still multi-tasking in that way while leaving it in the background of our overall thinking, while our attention is someplace else.

Another example of that is; have you ever driven somewhere and just arrived? Not being able to consciously recall parts of the journey because you had wandered off into thought.

Having said that, even the way most people think, when they are concentrating on a particular thought or event or idea, is still subject to the unconscious rules that a person uses to do things. Let’s take decision making for example.

A decision might be made based on facts or information, or from conversations and recommendations, or on a previous experience, or on loyalty or obligation or simply because it feels right.
And that process may have taken a short time or a long time over a number of times.
Whatever it is; the person making the decision, will probably use the decision making strategy that they always use (in that area of their life) all of the time.

That means that most people aren’t aware of how they make their decisions about a thing or how they make their judgments of a thing.

Largely for the same reasons.

It’s a unconscious routine, or habitual way of thinking, that they have gotten used to. And as such, it runs in the background of their thinking, all of the time. Like the sub routine in a computer.

What You Dwell on Grows

There’s a big “So what!” in there somewhere so I’ll get to my point.

My point is that the thoughts that dominate our mind, how we fill that space; both useful or un-useful, are the very building blocks on which all things are created.

If we fill our minds eye with thoughts of loss or lack, then that’s quite literally all we will see.
Because our Reticular Activating System (Our Brains Built in Laser Guidance and Sighting System) will only seek and find the people events and circumstances that are consistent with what we fill our minds with. And if that happens to be un-useful, so the downward spiral begins.

It’s the same with eating, fill up on junk food and you’ll literally be full of junk. Clogging up your body and accumulating fat.

If you fill your mind with junk, guess what, the same thing happens with your creativity adaptability problem solving resilience and overall thinking.

But! If you fill your body with “Fuel” foods you will be full of energy.
And; if you fill your mind with “Fueling” thoughts, you will be amazed by what you can achieve.

Make your body and mind, junk free zones!
