subject: Motivational Speaker - Overturning it all: Demanding Success (NNOS Studios of Ohio) [print this page] Ever listen to any motivational speakers or read any books that totally inspire you to take a different course of action? Did you ever leave a seminar where the motivational speakers had you leaving so determined, that you knew nothing could stop you from following your dreams?
Did you ever have that feeling deflate or the motivational effect die off, hours or days after the workshop? Ever wonder whether or not you'd have become successful had that determination only stayed with you? Would you? There's an incredible chance that you would. The cause of your loss of motivation is ENVIRONMENT. Not the city or country you live in...your immediate environment.
Your immediate environment is the group of people you hang with, the books that you read, the things you watch or listen to. Environment stands waiting at the door as you leave the seminar. It doesn't argue with you yet, but sits in your car with you as you make phone calls, telling others about the transforming message you heard from an incredible motivational speaker or group of speakers. It doesn't debate with you about the motivational speakers or the messages they gave. IT DOESN'T EVEN CONSIDER THAT! Your environment embodies you because you're going right back into it.
Your environment is like a container for your dreams...for your beliefs and habits. If your environment - your beliefs, your habits - does not support your goals or dreams, it will cause your motivation to deflate like a balloon. The solution is to change your environment. You must surround yourself with literture and people that have beliefs and habits that support your goal(s). Be with people that have already achieved similar goals. Your beliefs and habits will begin to alter accordingly. Scientists suggest that we are the average of the 5 people that we spend most of our time with. Think about that.
We talk about success. We mention how setting goals is one of the first steps toward success, and how it's the differentiating factor between a success and a failure. We read motivational articles written by the best speakers and success coaches on setting and achieving goals. But what about the scientific end of it? The why?
Many of you know that I'm a speaker and success coach on the principles of success...the hows and whys. For those of you who don't know, I get into the science of these steps...the faculties and mechanisms that are accessed in the brain. I'm going to talk briefly about the psycho-cybernetic mechanism.
The psycho-cybernetic mechanism is an auto-leveling system for the brain. It is designed to maintain a set of instructions. It is designed to keep you at your programmed level of success. No more and no less. Let's take a closer look.
Let's say we're looking at a chart. Zero is in the middle. The numbers above the 0 are 1,2,3 and so on. The numbers below are the 0 are -1,-2,-3 and so on. If our level of success is at the zero position(whatever that number may be in actuality), every time we drop below, to say -1 or -2, the auto-leveling system kicks on the jets and brings us back up to zero. The "jets" in the brain are a chemical that the brain releases, that cause doubt, fear and anxiety. The same thing happens if we cross above the zero, to say 1 or 2. The brain sends the chemical and brings us back to zero.
This is because the body likes comfort zones. So when dealing with success, if you are trying to set a goal that is beyond your comfort zone, your body will think that you're going off-track and will start sending you feelings of doubt, fear, anxiety and so on, to try and cause you to cease your pursuit.
The system can work in your favor, also. But you have to learn how to change the settings on the psycho-cybernetic mechanism. Change happens from the inside out. Success happens, once you've changed from within.
Whatever is going on without is simply a reflection of what is going on within our brains. It's the way we were designed. Did you every notice how some people just seem to have everything going for them? It seems like nothing bad happens to them and whatever they touch turns to gold? Yet you don't see that they are doing anything much different than you? It's because the brain is designed to lead you to what it is searching for...regardless of what you may want. Take a look.
The conscious mind is only responsible for 2-4 percent of our actions and perceptions. The rest of it is subconscious. Our actions are simply an end result of our beliefs. Our beliefs are neural networks on our subconscious mind. They form our perceptions. They are responsible for how we see things. Did you ever notice how after you bought a certain car you are suddenly noticing other cars like yours? Were they not there before? No, your brain just spit that info out before it was able to come to your conscious recognition. It does this by something called a Reticular Activating System(RAS) which is a search engine based on your beliefs.
Life will bring you what you expect. What you expect, not necessarily what you desire. It will bring you what you desire only after you train you mind to expect it. This brings us to another phrase: "I'll believe it when I see it." The phrase in actuality, is completely backwards. It should say, "I'll see it when I believe it."
Success is not money. It's achievement. Our brain allows us to recognize music or cars or smells or whatever is part of it's belief or habits system. This system is our conditioning. It is 50 percent genetic and 50 percent environment. So if our conditioning is that of lack, our brain takes that as instruction and makes it easy for us by filtering out whatever is not part of our conditioning. So we only see the articles, the tv shows, the statistics that support our conditioning. Everything else is equally present, but it is spit out as irrelevant data. Articles about success are not registered...and if they get considered, the brain will send the chemical in the body that causes doubt, fear, and anxiety. It does this because it feels you are stepping out of your "comfort zone".
No one with a conditioning of lack can maintain wealth for longer than a short period of time unless they change from the inside. This is why 85 percent of people who win the lottery are in the same or worse condition within 3 years of winning. The conditioning must be changed. This is a difficult process, and it takes time and discipline. But life will give you what you demand of it...what you're conditioned to find. It's the way we were created. It's a divine design.
To your success,
