There are two
disciplines that will yield amazing results when applied daily. They
will help you overcome any obstacles or challenges that are put in your
path. If you can master these two disciplines there is nothing you can’t
accomplish.
The first is the development
of faith in yourself, which can produce staggering results.
I am talking about the faith and the determination never to
quit. Have the faith to repeat the right disciplines and actions
long enough and with enough intensity to win.
Your self-image is
housed in your subconscious mind. Your subconscious doesn’t
evaluate the information you put in it. It only tries to create
reality out of what you put into it. If you are allowing the
negative to enter your subconscious mind unfiltered, you will
begin to focus your self-image on the negative that you allow
into your subconscious mind.
To create a strong
self-image or self-faith you must work diligently to feed your
subconscious mind with positive thoughts, ideas, and goals
to achieve. You can do this through books, audiocassettes,
experiences, coaching, affirmations, and seminars. The world
will gladly fill your mental make-up with negatives. Work to
combat the negatives by placing positive thoughts and images
in your mind every day.
As Zig Ziglar says,
let’s do a “check up from the neck up.” How often are you reading
great books? Are you listening to audiocassettes in the car
daily? Do you have affirmations that you are pounding into
your subconscious mind daily? Do you have a real estate or
personal success coach? If you aren’t doing these activities
regularly you are probably not reaching your peak performance.
To increase your belief
in yourself you need to fill your subconscious mind with the
positive thoughts and experiences of success. You can’t neglect
to do this even for one day or you will fall behind. Don’t
put yourself in the position to play catch-up with your self-confidence.
The second is development
of focus. Focus is one of the most powerful tools a person
can possess. Even if you have a positive faith in yourself
you must have focus to achieve greatness and success.
Al Ries wrote a great
book simply called Focus. Al used a laser beam as one of his
examples. The amount of energy a laser beam has is very small.
Most laser beams only have a few watts worth of energy. It
is the process of focusing those few watts onto a very small
area, which generates the power. It is because the energy is
condensed to the size of the head of a pin that amazing things
can happen, such as eye surgery without making incisions, the
removal of cancer cells, and the cutting through metal.
You can be like that
laser through focus. You can accomplish more in less time by
staying in the moment and being completely focused on the task
at hand. Here is a technique to improve your focus. Break your
day into smaller increments of time. You may only be able to
stay focused for 20 minutes now. So break your day into 20-minute
increments with five to ten minutes in between. Do the activities
in the outline in 20-minute increments of time.
Don’t allow distractions
to creep into those 20-minute increments. Only do the activities
outlined in those increments of time. Think only of the moment
and work to focus in on the moment and the specific activity
you are to do in that moment. Don’t allow anyone to distract
you during your 20 minutes of focused time.
As you get better
and more skilled at focusing you will be able to increase the
focus time and decrease the break time. When most people evaluate
their time, there is very little of an eight-hour workday that
is focused time. The lack of focus time is why Agents often
work seven days a week. It is because there is little focus
time invested daily.
By having a positive
faith in yourself you will be able to climb the mountains of
life. Being highly skilled at focusing will enable you to do
it with efficiency. If you learn to focus on what is most important
to you, you will create the abundant life you desire and deserve.
