The Only Thing Constant is Change

“The only thing constant is change.” I heard that for the first time while watching the Broadway production of Jekyll and Hyde when I was in my early twenties. I’ve always remembered it because it struck me as one of the most simple, yet profound, statements I’d ever heard.

Everything, everyone, everywhere will always change. We are wise to accept this because it is an inevitable part of life. Yet, humans resist change more often than not. Why is this? It’s the one of the only things we can truly count on. But with change comes uncertainty……the unknown….the unfamiliar. This is why it can also be uncomfortable. It can be like Read More...

As a natural part of our evolution, we are faced with constant changes. In addition to our biology, the world around us is also changing offering a wealth of opportunities and choices.

CIA Model of Stress Reduction

(1. Right click the link 2. Choose “Save Target As”)

A saying that you’ve probably heard a lot in business, in sports, and human performance in general is controlling the controllable. What does that actually mean? I wanted to take this concept of controlling the controllable, which is actually really good advice by the way, and take it out of the realm of being a cliché and into the realm of something that we can actually do.

In our workshops we’ll use something called the CIA Model to help students gain Read More...

How to Keep Learning and Stay Young

Filed under: Personal Freedom — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Freedom Personal Development @ 8:11 am

Forget the cover-ups, wrinkle creams, and cosmetic surgeries. To stay young, form the habit of Constant Learning. Education is a virtue that guarantees youthfulness.

Wisdom is not the province of the old. We all have known old people who continuously spout off opinions, but an old person who listens is the one who actually knows something. Nor is education about going to school. A classroom setting may be an effective venue for an introduction to some subjects. Nevertheless, mastery is always gained from what you do outside the classroom. So stop dividing life into school and “real life.” Real life is your school and it always has been.

Here are some ways to Read More...

You Shouldn’t Read This

Many people have talked with me recently about getting motivated when they don’t feel like it or when they are having a bad day. If you have ever wondered that then read on.

There are many ways to get yourself motivated. Anyone who has listened to Tony Robbins have learned about changing your state, specifically using your physiology, your focus, and your language. And because the “state” that you are currently “in” is determined by those three forces, if you change any of those three then you will change your “state”.

For example if you are feeling sad you might feel “down” and usually, you will droop your shoulders a little and your Read More...

How to Be Relentless

My Tony Robbins Coach shared this with me and I thought you would enjoy it…

Here’s a simple Yes or No question to consider:

Does your behavior demonstrate a relentless determination?

Your answer reveals a great deal about your future success.

Being relentless is a commitment and intention that stands in the face of obstacles, hardships, temptations, financial difficulties, failing physical health, and broken relationships.

By choosing to be relentless, you are demonstrating no abatement of severity, intensity, strength, or pace, nor Read More...

Winners of the Personal Freedom Contest

What a pleasure it has been hosting this contest! I must say, reading so many different ideas on personal freedom has been incredibly inspiring. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I pulled out all the submissions, and my family and I sat around talking about freedom-how thankful we are for freedom and what it means.

There were so many great thoughts represented in this contest, and I’d say that I’d like to pull a little bit from everyone’s comments to put together the winner! It became clear that freedom exists, whether we recognize it or not. Sometimes our choices are more limited than others, but Read More...
