Thought Of The Week:

"...trying to change your life through motivation or positive thinking alone is like driving east looking for a sunset. Your desire to see the sunset may be very strong; you may be an incredibly talented driver; you may be moving very fast toward your goal. But you'll never see the sunset as long as you're headed in the wrong direction.

If we're unconsciously stopping ourselves from success (because we inwardly believe that we can't, shouldn't or aren't allowed to succeed), we can think positively, write goals and work hard night and day...but we will never let ourselves succeed."

Noah St. John, "Permission To Succeed"

Back in 2000 I read a book by Noah St. John, called "permission to succeed."  It was the umpteenth self help book I'd read. But it was different. Noah introduced a concept that deeply startled me and totally made sense. In a nutshell he pointed out that you can do all kinds of stuff right but if you are stopping yourself on the unconscious level, success will be forever out of your grasp.

The key is to find out what it is that's holding you back beneath the surface. Ultimately this led me to study NLP. NLP is all about clearing blocks at the unconscious level.

Noah also introduced me to the concept of Afformations: "how" and "why" questions that literally "program" your unconscious mind to create change.

Inspired by both NLP and many of Noah's concepts I was moved to write "Victory Song" which you can download for free (limited time only :o)

It's at the bottom of the page at this link: http://markshepard.com/welcome.htm

Now. Fast forward. I'm participating in a business coaching program by Eben Pagen called "Altitude" www.GetAltitude.com and on one of the DVD segments lo and behold one of the seminar participants who was in the "hot seat" having his web site critiqued was...Noah St. John.

Eben asked Noah what one immediately useful technique was that he could offer to someone seeking fast results. Noah suggested that it would be a powerful thing to contact someone who had given you great advice in the past. Call or write them and thank them. Then ask for another piece of advice or offer to be of service to them in some way.

So I did. I wrote to Noah St. John and thanked him for his "why" and "how" question technique and gave him a copy of the Victory Song. He graciously answered my e-mail and invited me to perform the song at some point in the future for one of his seminars.

How cool is that?

So your homework for this week is to do the same thing. Write or call someone who helped you in the past with advice or guidance. Thank them. Ask them if there's anything else they'd like to tell you. Ask if there's anything you can do for them. That's it.

This is one of my best tools for helping people (and myself) to clear anxiety and keep it cleared.
