Las Vegas Personal Development – Birds of a Feather…

When I was young my mother always told me that if I hang around certain kids then other people would classify me to be like them. I always thought that was weird and questioned what was wrong with my friends.  I myself thought that my friends were just fine and that they are who I prefer to hang out with. As the wisdom of my mother evolved I begin to see that she was right and I discovered a lot more about myself then I was willing to examine at the time she told me this. I begin to see that she was very intuitive and very astute when it came to her beliefs about life. I later discovered that it is more correct to say that people with a certain mentality hang around with each other. Mentalities do create groups or social clicks if you will. Don’t believe me?  Make a list of your five closes friends and you will see that what I am saying is true. The people who are in your closes confidence are your click.

Now look at their health and their financial situation and their religious or spiritual beliefs. As you look at all these compartments of your life you will see the true picture unfold. You are like those that you hang out with. You will notice that the scale fits perfectly. If you are overweight I bet your closes friends are overweight. If you are in shape so are your closes friends. If you make a certain amount of money then they probably are making around the same thing. And all of you have about the same type of daily problems. Energy will attract other energy that is like it. I know it seems strange to accept this as a truth however; it is true to an extremely large degree. This is why it is so hard to change and elevate your game because others in the group will pull you down.

Here is a true experiment that was done with monkeys.

 Zoo keepers took five monkeys and placed them in a cage together. They then placed a banana at the top of a pole. When the monkeys would go to get the banana from the top of the pole the zoo keepers would spray them with a large fire hose. Then they would place a new monkey in the cage and when the new monkey went for the Banana the other monkey’s pulled him down and would not let him go for the gold. Then they would keep the new monkey in the cage and take out one of the older monkeys and then bring in a new monkey. When the new monkey went for the banana they would pull him down. So they kept replacing the monkeys until they were all replaced and the monkeys kept on doing the same thing.

When we are in social circles or even in families Creotology has seen this exact behavior from loved ones towards each other. No one wants to feel left behind and made to feel as if they are the losers and that you have evolved into a winner!  Now, as painful as it may seem sometimes you do have to leave friends and family behind even for a short while so that you can make your mark and strengthen your own resolves until you  are strong enough to integrate back with and not be pulled down to their non-productive ways. You can always be nice and say that you are going to be spending a lot of time away from the group and that when your mission is complete you will have more time to hang out. If that time comes and it does not feel right then it is time to find your new tribe of friends.  However, by the time you are done you already will have a new tribe of friends. I know that it can be hard to do in the beginning…but pain is temporary and suffering is a choice.

 Here is a small exercise to try:

 Think of 5 closes friends and ask yourself if you want to be like them five to twenty years from now. If you answer no move away slowly and adjust your life.

 Go to a Self-Help course like Creotology’s Las Vegas Personal Development or some other Las Vegas Personal self-help course. But do it and learn to create and live the life that you chose.

Personal Coaching

It still befuddles me how most people do not recognize that life is a game, and like any game,  good personal coaching is required in order for you to reach your peak potential.  I have found through my  experiences that personal coaching or having a mentor, if you will, is of extreme importance.  Good Personal coaching can give you the personal development tools that you require in order to forge ahead in life and make your mark.  When I walk through retail stores, I see people buying all types of stupid merchandise that anyone with personal coaching  would clearly see they don’t really need.  However, they have decided to give into the impulse of buying what they desire, which in a lot of circumstances could wreak extreme havoc on their future quality of living and personal retirement.  It seems to me that many people simply spend money as a drug in order to release certain feel good chemicals like serotonin.

Think about it this way, when you buy something you desire, whether you need it or not, it makes you feel good.  Only later to realize, you really didn’t need what you just bought, and you’re always wondering why you’re constantly short on money.  Now please don’t get me wrong, I like to spend money too.  I have absolutely bought my fair share of stuff that I did not need.  However, when you recognize that this frivolous spending is actually an addiction, you can easily see how this addiction steals money from your retirement fund.

Some people have figured out how to combat this problem with some pretty interesting solutions.  If their house gets too full, they buy a bigger house because they convince themselves that they need a bigger home in order to store all their stuff, or they’ll have the beloved and trusted garage or yard sale.  This way they can sell all that stuff that they bought, but really didn’t need.  So they buy it for retail price, and sell it for pennies on the dollar.  Any good business person will tell you that this is not a good rate on investment.  However I have seen people have what they proclaim to be a successful yard sale, and brag about the money they made.  They completely forget about what they originally paid for the items.  Or they gather up the stuff that they bought that they really didn’t need and they donate it to charities.  Then they start the cycle all over again. Personal coaching can make you aware of this as it is happening.

Personal coaching can make you very conscious about living deliberately.  They can help you straighten out your thinking, and slow you down and give you a center so that you can see that you’re putting the buggy before the horse.  Personal coaching  will provide you with the tools that are necessary to create a good game plan, and teach you how to play, so that your personal plan is successful.  personal coaching will also make you accountable when you might need a little extra help.  I know some people who hire personal trainers so that they will make sure to work out because someone is actually waiting on them to do it.  It is my belief that all people who are not where they want to be in life should have  personal coaching.  This will help to solidify that your plan will be executed, and that you have the highest probability of winning.  So the next time someone tells you that life isn’t a game, just look around their surroundings and look at them and their life, and you will see that a personal coaching is absolutely needed.  Spend more money on yourself through personal coaching , and your life will take care of you just fine, all the way through to your golden years.

Discipline of Success

The other day I was at a new age shop and could not help but to over hear a conversation that two ladies were having. Mainly because they were standing right next to me! The one slender lady told her heavier counterpart that all she needed to do was not focus on her weight and it would drop of like hot butter. Then she said to focus on the image in her mind that she wants to look like. Ok-I am all for the “see the image in your mind and let your new self grow from there” but, when she said not to do any exercise with the imaging I got a little more concerned. Exercise is one of the biggest parts in the Discipline of Success needed to lose weight.

While I am a huge believer of the mind controlling the body I also believe when it comes to weight loss that you will need the help of calories being burn to give the body a healthier furnace in which to lose weight. We are spiritual beings that are having a physical experience. So we need the Discipline of Success  of the flesh in order to produce experience. For an example: You can think about eating a cold ripe refreshing apple or you can physically eat the cold refreshing apple. There will be two different experiences of the two actions. Thinking about eating an apple in your subjective mind feels different then eating the apple in the physical sense. It is true that the brain does not know the difference between what it imagines and what you see going on in the supposed outside world,  but  I can tell you that when I think about eating an apple and then actually eat an apple my taste buds know as does my body. Try for yourself and see the difference.

The mind is the controller of the brain, body and in fact, the mind. It  is the universe that your subjective consciousness lives in and creates from. (More about this another time). The mind is the universe that created your physical world that you live in and are currently experiencing. So do not resist the physical world and the actions that need to be done in it, Discipline of Success, or you will find that you have to hang around here on this earth longer in order to gain the much needed physical experience.

The long and the short of all this comes down to having the Discipline of Success  to achieve your goals. Let’s face the facts that remote control televisions , automobiles and so forth are not very conductive to moving around. Since we do not move around to do other things, we try and avoid moving around for all things, and this is the weight trap.  If the physical body is low energy then the brain and the mind are very much sluggish (Lack of the Discipline of Success).  There is nothing worse than lack of your Discipline of Success when you are trying to lose weight. This  makes losing weight all the more hard. So you want to create the discipline for success in weight loss and all avenues in your life by getting the mind and brain to feel better. Imagine the feeling of your body when it is healthy and moving around at will comfortably with no aches and pains. Just think how it feels to be extremely comfortable in your own body, that feels clean and refreshing ,to exist in. Well in order to make that happen you have to develop the energy capacity for the mind and brain to be running at top performance and with the Discipline of Success . Discipline your eating and exercise and soon there will be no discipline involved, only a lifestyle of healthy choices and an abundance of success in all walks of your life.

Discipline of Success should be part of your daily thinking, no matter your goals.
