Its Thursday, I have a seminar coming up this weekend and thought I would touch base and share a few things that I will most definitely be talking about.

This is close to my heart and here’s my rant with nothing less than respect for you.

How long will you wait to decide to take action on your goals/outcomes/dream?

A day, a week, a month, a year…….never?

It’s time to up the ante here,  and excuse my bluntness but I only want you to act out and be who i know you are inside….your true potential.

The reason(s) you may have, that stop you acting out your dreams is an excuse. Yes an excuse.

Stay with me, this could just be something.

All reasons/excuses will simply reaffirm your situation. That’s all they do. But let’s get real; those reasons/excuses are just self limitations. People have succeeded with much bigger challenges than ours. That goes for people who overcome dis-ease (look at Lance Armstrong and many more), racism (look at Martin Luther King), Ghandi, the list is endless.

tank

Whatever challenges they faced, they took responsibility for them, they didn’t allow for excuses and did not give in. To me that’s the number one key to success, taking ownership for your life, when you do this, you are back in the driving seat.

If you are not in the driving the seat……who is?…..think about it.

Your friend,

Is it time to connect with you?

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Hey, as I was on my run this morning, it got me thinking…..

I wondered why people can be closed from themselves. How we can lose sight of ourselves, our needs and emotions. How we can bury ourselves with other things going on our life.

I have fallen for this trap many times by the way, but its time for us all to be conscious of what we’re all about and what we experience.

Why don’t we feel our true emotions or even express them?

Maybe because we worry what we maybe truly feeling? Whether that’s good or bad.

Fear, Passion, Hurt, Connection, Our needs, Energy, Wants, Love or lack of it?

Stay with me……..It does not matter if what you feel is good or bad, its worse to keep it buried inside.

Can I be honest with you?

I’ve only recently learnt how to master this myself, without boring you, I was like this, closed off from myself because of the….. what ifs….?

But here’s the thing, I quickly realised the more I did this the more it increased those boundaries and the less I felt the real me.

So what was there really to be fearful of?

Well there was nothing, when we embrace our feelings and emotions, we become true, when we become true, we start to dissolve the negative as we acknowledge it and allow it to transform. Think about it, if you were to injure your foot, but you kept walking in it, you would feel for pain, because our body is trying to tell us something.

It’s the same for what we feel inside, what ever we resist persists.  When we give ourselves up to ourselves, to embrace ourselves, to feel our true feelings, we become one, a whole. Its not bad to feel good or bad emotions. Its natural, its less natural to avoid them, bury them and let them get stronger.

Embrace yourself; get in touch with you, your mind and heart, when you do this you will truly become connected with your true identity and potential to master your emotions and to flow with them as an observer to your magnificent life.

Whats your reality? does it support you? Read on..

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

What is reality?

Well it’s subjective; it’s what you perceive it to be right?

Henry Ford once said, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right”

The very beliefs, memories, values you hold ultimately create your reality.

Stay with me…

Our brain takes in 2 million pieces of information per second, but obviously we cannot consciously take in that amount as we’d go a little bit doo lally!

So our wonderful brain, deletes, distorts and generalizes the information we receive externally by how important it is to us consciously.

How does it do that? Well it’s all to do in accordance with our inner thoughts, beliefs, memories and values.

What we perceive to be true is our subjective individual projection on the outer world.

Okay now what does that mean?

Well let’s take the example, if you have belief the world is a bad place. You would perceive that to be true and see and feel everything around you as bad. Someone who beliefs the world is full of opportunities and only sees the positive.

So two individual truths opposing each other. But it’s the same world they see, just through different eyes and thoughts.

Someone who feels ‘not good enough’ would not see possibilities in what they could achieve, maybe relationships to go for, job vacancies to apply – simply settling for second best…. maybe last best! Whereas someone with the belief of being ‘good enough’ and ‘worthy’ sees all they deserve and sets out to achieve it.

But it’s the same world they see, just through different eyes and thoughts causing two completely different views! Which perception or way of seeing the world would create powerful results and happiness in your life? Loving relationships? Wonderful careers? Finances? Fulfilment?

Well it doesn’t take much to realise that seeing things in the positive, having powerful believe systems and congruent feelings toward your future happiness and success would be the way to go.

Okay on another note, we need to be clear in ourselves…. I don’t care how we got limiting beliefs, conflicting values, thoughts and behaviours that do not support us, I really don’t care. Because what good does it do? It just causes us to play the blame game and simply reaffirm reasons and excuses to stay this way. Do you want to be that person? Feeling bitter and resentful? I don’t!

If you do that’s fine, just as long as you know nothing will change until you change.  But if you are that person, I do have a few questions for you.

How much unhappiness do you need to suffer to come to the point of ‘something has to change!’?

How long are you happy to stay unhappy?

Would you want your children/family/friends to have that mindset and beliefs about the world?

Think about it for a while.
 
So what beliefs, values and thoughts are you holding in your mind which are not supporting you?

Write them down, become conscious of them, take a stand and do whatever it takes to change them guys.

I can help you, I have free products such as my eBook, video’s and audio downloads, Hypnosis CD’s and MP3 downloads seminars and trainings. But you must be the instigator, the decision maker, the go getter, the f’ it attitude of ‘I’m going to live my life the way I want, one that brings joy to me and others!’

It’s all yours to create, perceive and project!

Your friend as always

In need of your help!

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Hey friends,

I hope you are all amazing on this Thursday Morning.

Can you help me please?

I need your vote..

As you may know I’m in the competition to become Britain’s Next Top Coach. Right now I am in the semi finals, where there are eleven other self help coaches are battling away to get into the final, where four get through to the final.

Why vote for me?

Well if you know my work, I hope you see my passion. You will also realize although this is my business and it has to make money, its not why I do what I do, as you will know the amount of free gifts I give to you, my free e-book Being Your Potential with Hypnosis Tracks, Hypnosis Downloads, Videos and PDFs on how to live the life you want. (If you haven’t received them already go to the main site and sign up and tell others too!!)

Why? Because I feel we deserve to live the life we want.

Who are we not to?

We’re not here to struggle and be held back by limitations.

I believe we can be what we want, whether that’s:

Financially Abundant,
Confident,
Content,
Having wonderful relationships,
Viberant Health,
Transformational Careers,
Free of fear.

Whatever you want, that’s what I believe you deserve and even more.

But what would it mean for me and you if I were to win?

Well for me, it would mean everything. I have the big goals and dreams I will achieve and will not stop until I get there. To some they seem unrealistic (I’ve been told this numerous times)…but who defines realistic? Me and you!

I want to transform the way we think, help those who cant afford change, create charities that help the world, and (yep here’s the woo woo la la point) to allow people to realize fear is a man made illusion and when we realize this globally we can change ourselves and each other to be our potential.

And for you?

Well I want you to be a part if this journey, should I win I’m going to hold a FREE weekend seminar designed just for you, I will continue to give you even more FREE products for you in mind. In other words I will allow me to work harder for you with out cost to you. I honestly believe you have a big part to play, I hope you feel this too.

I believe we are all here for a purpose (its okay if you do not believe this), and I believe apart of my joinery is helping and empowering as many people as I can.

In fact I was talking to friend about this just yesterday, he asked me

“How do you keep doing what you do, especially how hard you work and the big challenges you face?”

It was a hard question to think about, all I knew and said back to him was:

“If I simply gave up today, my drive would go, my energy inside of me would feel empty, and I would be lost”

And it got me thinking, this why I work more even when I do not have to, it’s ultimately what I am and this is what I want and wouldn’t want it any other way. I have this one live, I want to leave a mark that I can feel complete in the fact I did as much as I could, helped as much I could and empower as much I could.

Enjoy your day,

Your friend

This blog is especially for you

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Wow its June already….. Hasn’t this year flown by so far!

I thought I’d give you an update on what I’m up to.

Well I’ve been writing a lot recently, and as you will soon find out, they are all for free and all for you and I plan to give you one or two every week. You can find them here on the article section.

I was thinking today, when I was in my garden feeling the rays of the sun, how wonderful it is to be outside in the quiet.

Personally I am a very private person; I like being by myself and spending time with myself. Don’t get me wrong I do socialise, but I feel it’s important to enjoy your own company and be by yourself and connect with yourself. By going within in, you change the outer.

I have a question for you….. How often to you give yourself 30 minutes, 15 minutes even 5 minutes dedicated to you? To be outside, to be quiet and just stop for a while?

I know you have lots going on in your life, we can have many different roles we take on, maybe being:

A Son or daughter
A father or mother
A grandson or granddaughter
A grandfather or grandmother
A sibling
A wife, a husband, boyfriend, girlfriend
A friend
A job role

The list goes on and on, we have so many sides to our life, but I think we forget about the most important side of us.

Just being you.

To take time out and stop…….. and yes again be YOU.

I know for a fact the roles I mentioned above are simply going to get stronger and healthier when you take time out for you. I always refer to the safety drill sheet when you go on the plane. You should always put the oxygen mask on yourself first before putting them on others.

Why?

Because you are no good to anyone if you are losing oxygen! You are also a human being not a human doing!

Sounds harsh, but I say what I say for the best of intentions. You need to take just five minutes out for yourself.

Go outside; connect with your thoughts, your feelings and take in your environment around you. Take in the fresh air, the sky, and the trees and be you. This will re-energise you and also help all other areas of your life.

You are a precious gift to many people in your life, they want you to be you, so take the time and be you. And remember you are the precious gift to yourself, so take the time out for yourself.

Did I go off on a tangent? Sorry about that, when it comes, it flows.

Oh what I was also going to say is…..Thank You, no reason other than for being you.

Your friend

Joseph Clough
