Do you ever get blank stares when trying to explain your dreams to friends and family?
It’s all to do with belief systems. Let me explain what I learned in Jim Francis’s amazing mind power research which is so obvious, yet many of us miss it…
Everyone’s mind is a result of a lifetime of cumulative influences and experiences. E.g if you’ve been told as a child that telepathy doesn’t exist then you accept this subconsciously as a fact. This is your inherent belief about telepathy, not a fact… but you believe this to be true.
If someone was to demonstrate that telepathy actually exists, your subconscious cannot accept it. When proof is offered to a skeptic they simply block it from their mind.
It’s almost as if they skip to a different reality zone.If you’ve tried to explain something new to someone and they’ve developed a glazed look in their eyes, if

Are you immobilized by procrastination and indecision? We all know that it is impossible to steer a car that’s not moving and the same is true with your life. You simply cannot direct and steer your life if you are immobilized by procrastination and indecision. It is what prevents you from doing the very things you need to do to make progress.
This debilitating behavior, or shall I say lack of behavior, is responsible for destroying so many dreams and aspirations. Action is the proper fruit of knowledge and doing what you ‘know’ is often much harder than knowing ‘what’ to do. This is actually a very accurate description of procrastination. It is the frustrating pattern of wanting to (consciously), knowing how to, but not doing it. It is the lack of action that keeps you from moving forward and making progress. Frustration sets in when you know you can do

Copyright (c) 2008 Gavin Ingham
Motivated salespeople and entrepreneurs make more sales than their less motivated counterparts. Having a miserable countenance, a poor attitude and a bad physiology never made a good salesperson and it never will.
Your motivation, your mindset and your actions are critical in helping you to achieve your goals and close the sales and build the business that you want. When I am invited to companies one of the most common questions asked by sales managers, sales directors and business owners alike is, “How do I get and keep my sales teams motivated?”
Indeed, one of the most common questions asked of me by salespeople themselves is, “How do I get and keep myself motivated?”
Most people do not understand how and why they get motivated and therefore their motivation levels tend to ebb and flow like the daily tides. Few people have total control of their own motivation levels.

One of the most destructive effects of procrastination is the fact that it makes you feel out of control. Procrastination is like an ‘invisible force’ that keeps you from doing the very things you know you must do. With the increasing demands on our time and attention there seems to be an increase in procrastination as a chronic problem, especially amongst those people that want to succeed the most. Procrastination usually sets in when you feel overwhelmed by all the ‘have to’s’ in life and instead of making steady progress you take on too much without ever getting any of it done.
Feeling out of control takes away all your power to shape and direct your own life. It’s true that there are many things over which you have no control, but you always have full control over what really happens to you – and what really happens to you is

Since self- motivation is dependant on one’s own determination and inner change, it also lasts much longer than being motivated by others. You can take someone as your role model and get motivated looking at his or her achievements. But when, for any reason, that person falls of the pedestal, you also end up losing your motivation. Thus self- motivation is the best form of motivation that there is possible.
We tend to not get motivated if we are not sure of the credentials of the person motivating us. We also want to see the actual proof that they have shown in their life. However, when that person fails at any moment in their life, we lose our motivation as well. On the other hand, somewhere inside us, we trust our potential. So we can hardly ever lose this self- motivation, except when we are mind-wiped.
