We all make mistakes.

It’s part of the process of being human. There is no such thing in our history as a person that didn’t make any mistakes.

When we are in a state of joy, we are able to function at peak levels of mental and physical performance.

When we become aware of the mistakes we make we can often become filled with guilt and remorse. Though it is OK to feel this way as an impetus for changing our ways. It is not healthy when we stay in this mental state. Guilt and sadness cause us to be dysfunctional mentally and physically.

It is often said that there is no success without failure.That being said in order to succeed you must be able to move past your mistakes. You have to have the courage to learn from the mistake and then move on.

In Judaism there is a 4 step process of repentance the idea is that once you go through the process you can move forward with an open mind and heart.

I feel the approach can be beneficial regardless of your belief system.

The 4 Step Process:

Step 1- Regret. This is where you have the opportunity to realize the impacts of your action, the frustration,
damage or negative impact that you caused. At this point it is good if you feel sadness/frustration
for your mistake. Before you move on to the next step make sure you have really internalized the
mistake, and that your regret is sincere.

Step 2- Confession. Verbally state the mistake that you made. Don’t be vague about it either. The
more articulate you can be the greater your ability to be truly aware of your
mistake and to avoid making the same mistake again.

Step 3- Forgiveness. Again this is something that you speak out loud. If you beleive in a higher
reality that is involved in your life then you can ask that essence for forgiveness.
If the mistake you made was against another person, you should ask that person for
forgiveness. And yes, you should also ask your self for forgiveness. Receiving
forgiveness from others and forgiving yourself is a message that you should let
the mistake move from your present to your past and begin the process of
moving courageously forward.

Step 4 – Resolution.  This is where you make a firm commitment not to repeat the mistake in the future.
Again this should be a verbal commitment. When you speak something out loud you give
it substance. It engraves itself in your mind and our heart.

At this point you have to take the courageous step, and Let It Go.

You have dealt with the issue and now it is time to move forward towards success. It is time to clear your mind of sadness and frustration and return to your positive mental state.

All the best,

Rob

Wise Fathers Series

There is a book that I continually read throughout the years. It is a book of sage wisdom that is over 1800 years old. Though the focus in the book is Religious/Spiritual, I have always found that a “Truth” is a “Truth”. It does not only apply in one specific area of life. It applies across the full spectrum of life and activities.

My hope is to share these insights daily. I hope you enjoy.

Transmitting, Receiving And Setting The Foundations For Success

The Wisdom Is Out There. It Being Transmitted Continually

King Solomon said “There is nothing new under the sun”

When we discover something in the tangible world, it may be new to us, but is was always there. Even when we have a new awareness in the world of thought, again it was already there, its just that we are discovering it for the first time.

Our world and existence is such a great gift. If we are willing to open up our mind and our senses we can learn so much from all that happens around us.

For example. I was thinking about the Butterfly Effect the other day. If it weren’t for the butterfly effect we would be able to predict the whether perfectly. But alas we never know when one of these random variable will pop up to change everything.

What can we learn from this? We are often told by others “I have the perfect system. Do it exactly as I tell you and you will succeed” or we see people having a beautiful relationship and we try to mimic it but don’t get the same results. In our lives there is no such thing as carbon copy, because we are the Butterfly in the equation. In anything that we learn and plan, we have to remember that we are the unique variable that always pops up and have to plan for accordingly.

So if the wisdom is out there how do we receive it?

Take two radios. One from the 50’s and one from the present day. Put them both to the same station. You will notice a massive difference in the quality. But why? They are both receiving the same transmission.

The better the receiver the more clear the transmission.

Lets switch to a water analogy.

What would define a quality container for water?

The container should:

• Be empty. So it can fully receive the water.
• Be clean so it doesn’t impart impurities to the water.
• Be free of cracks or holes, so no water leaks out.
• Have a wide opening, so it catches all the water.

Now how can this analogy be applied to us?

Be Empty- If we are to full of our own ideas and fallacies. we wont have any room to learn anything new, to discover the truths of life.

Be Clean- Garbage in garbage out. When we fill our mind and bodies with garbage in the form of unhealthy foods and thoughts, it is almost impossible to find truth. That is a reason why we see so many failed relationships. People watch TV and try to learn how to have a health relationship from the fantasies that Hollywood creates. And even worse there are now reality shows on relationships that revolve around synthetic, shallow people and their relationships.
If you wouldn’t take the contents of a garbage can, blend it and pour it down your throat, why would you do it with your mind?

Free of Cracks an Holes-This is about overall character. Actions speak louder than words. You want to act in a way that speaks your desire for a more refined and elevated life. Your speech and actions should be of a refined nature, ie. don’t be a boor. When every other sentence has a four letter word, you are announcing to the world that you are not capable of refined thinking, you are seen as a fool. When you treat others in a degrading way, you lower yourself in that eyes of others.

Wide Open – You have to have an open mind to what is happening around you. If you are narrow minded in your thinking you will miss all that the universe has to offer.
“Caution”. Being open minded does not mean trying and thinking about unhealthy things. It means creating an open state of mind that desires to seek the truths of life.

So I’ve searched for wisdom and I have tried to make myself a fitting reciever, what now?

As you gain wisdom and success in life. The greatest gift you can give, is to share it with others.

Truth is often compared to a flame. When you take a candle and light another candle with it, you do not diminish the first flame in any way. The first candle keeps its light and the second candle now has its own light. You could use one candle to light an infinite number of candle and its light would never diminish, and together all those lights would shine as bright as day.

To Recap:

Search For Wisdom

Make Yourself a Fitting Receptacle For Wisdom

Share The Gifts That You Receive

The rest is commentary…..

Part of the reason for that title is because I want to test how people respond to different messages. Though there is some truth to the title which I will explain in a moment.

Unfortunately there are many that sit around waiting for a “Free Ride”. One of three things happen to these people.

1. They watch a lot of TV, eat lots of junk food and live sad, boring and meaningless lives.

2. They spend excessive amounts of money on get rich quick scheems, where they “Don’t have to do any work”.

3. Some win the lottery and lose it all within a year. They didn’t know how to handle and appreciate money to begin with, so they go on massive spending sprees buy big houses and cars and then get crushed by mortgage payment, property taxes etc. And then end up back in front of the TV on welfare.

I personally do not beleive in the “Free Ride”. I put in a good effort for my success and when I accomplish I appreciate the rewards and I feel good.

I have worked hard and built a successful online business www.label-land.com. When I built the business it was not because I was interested in Labels. It was because I wanted to get into coaching and consulting. I figured the best way was to prove myself first. In three years I took the biz from $0 to over $100,000 a year in income.

Now some of you might be thinking “I can’t wait three years, I want it now”. If you are building an online business from scratch I will be glad to help you skip many of the mistakes I made along the way so it will take less time. If you are doing a Direct Marketing type biz, applying the proper tools and working hard you can probably cut the time in half.

If you don’t want to do any work you can always grab a coke and a bag of chips and watch sitcoms and infomertials.

Now about the free business building.

I will do four things for you.

1. I will be putting together a series of short 5-7 minute videos to help you with building an online business.

2. I will blog regularly with insight on how to move forward in your business and your life.

3. I will introduce you to others that can help you on your journey.

4. I will offer you a free 30 min cosulting or 1hr coaching session, to help you grow you and your business.

Once you have this Free information you will have to…Ready for this…..WORK. Yup you will have to actually make the effort for your success, but I believe you can do it.

You know those “Know it all” types? The ones that can go on and on telling you how much they know about this and that. Though they can be annoying there are some lessons you can learn from them.
One lesson is that because they believe they “know”, they speak with a high level of confidence. And the second is that very often they actually know a few things about what they are talking about, and because they are confident they share and people listen. And furthermore, because they are confident about their knowledge it can actually put them in a very creative and solution oriented state of mind.
