Most people who are afraid of something, don’t want you to try it either, because they are afraid of it. So, they talk you out of it! Or at least they try…They downgrade your effort and they find a number of reasons for NOT letting you do it (the easy way : finding excuses!). So, don’t let these people scare you. Of course, it can be polite to listen to them first, but remember it’s your decision. Believe in yourself and just do it! You can make a difference!

Then there are these people who are afraid you will succeed. I sometimes meet these people, when I come back from a course that I followed. They see that I have changed and are afraid of losing me. So, they ask me to “behave” or become “normal” again. Hmm, interesting! Then, I have 2 choices, follow my instinct and really apply what I’ve learned or go back to my old pattern and nothing really changes. You see, only a minority actually creates changes in their life after attending a seminar or life changing course. Several try, but are brought back to their daily pattern by the ones surrounding them. They are afraid of losing you, when you are successful. Because you will change when you are successful, you’ll behave differently, have new friends, etc. So, this is what your current friends want to avoid. They are afraid of your success and so, they don’t let you be successful. And here I am, thinking that my friends would wish me all the best That’s at least what I am wishing for ALL my friends. If they are successful, I will still be wishing them even more success! It thought that’s what friends are for…encouraging each other, next to being there for them, whenever they need you.

Having said that, I know that you will not be influenced by what your friends and the people around you think about you. Of course, I am the only one

By the way, do you recognize any of these 2 types of people? I surely do. I could name a few

Lessons learned : if you want to be successful and make a difference in the world, go on and be successful, don’t let others scare you with their fears! Everyone can make a difference!

Hij blijft leuk, sterk met persoonlijk anecdotes, grappig en elke keer leer ik weer iets bij

Hier zijn 3 leerpunten:

• Minder succesvolle mensen schrijven minder op!
• Succes = een werkwoord, gelukkig zijn ook!
• Mensen veranderen van werk, maar niet hun manier van werken.

Uiteraard werd er na het invullen van de feedback formulieren nog een winnaar getrokken door een onschuldige hand. De prijs is 2 tickets voor zijn volgende Mindpower seminar en je raadt het al : inderdaad, mijn naam werd gekozen! Zoals een wijze man ooit zei : Geluk is een keuze!

Dus, Carl, I’ll be back

Enjoy every day,
