A little about me.

Warren Henningsen

warren@myabsolutesuccess.com

Born to a Russian Father and a Sri-Lankan Mother, Warren Henningsen was raised in a comfortable if not affluent home. He had a really happy childhood which was comparable to many of the average people who happily roam through their lives on this great planet we affectionately call Earth. Just as with most people he had times in his childhood where he was happy, sad, angry, joyful, excited, bored, surprised, confused, lost, focused, amazed, scared, loved, annoyed, grateful, resentful, passionate, guilty, hopeful, satisfied, worried and so on and so forth. He has experienced a great deal more than some, and a great deal less than others.

An Average Life

Always in search of the ever elusive “more in life” Warren developed a love of Personal Development from the greats; Anthony Robbins, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Demartini, Dr. Joe Vitale and the like. It was notm however, until the release of the global phenomenon “The Secret” that clarity found its way into his life. In meeting his now business partner (and best mate) Adam Galna his dreams manifested into a reality with the founding of My Absolute Success Pty. Ltd. A company dedicated to the advancement and evolution of the mind of all of humanity. A company that is driven by the passion of both men to assist others in the attainment of their passions.

A Sales Trainer, Marketing Mentor, Author, Writer, Actor, Personal Success Mentor, Personal Awareness Expert, full time student in the Universal Classroom and educator in Universal Law and Mindset Change, Warren has spent most of his life training and educating others. It’s only now in the past few years, since becoming the proud dad of his two children Gabriel and Claudine, does he truly feel that he can consider himself a real teacher.

Warren’s book, “If I Can You Can”, which is a confluence of Warren’s personal life journey and contributions from many of the greatest teachers and educators in personal development the World has ever seen, is being heralded by some as the “must read” of 2009. Warren has appeared on a number of nationally and internationally syndicated television shows and still maintains a keen interest in stage, film and television. He has spoken on a number of radio programs and assisted in the creation and/or publication of both Succeed Magazine and Think Big Magazine alike. Warren has spoken at events, both live and virtual, with people of the likes of Bob Proctor, David Schirmer, Jerry Roberts, Loral Langemeier, Dr. Joe Vitale, Darren Stephens, Rick Ottens, Garry Kewish and a gamut of others.

The Oxford Dictionary defines a mentor as a wise and trusted counsellor or teacher, or an influential senior sponsor or supporter. It defines a life coach as an advisor who helps people with problems, decisions, and goal attainment in daily life. Whatever the definition, a mentor is someone that sees you for everything that you are meant to be, and expects more of you than you expect of yourself. The difference between a Life Coach and a Mentor is simple… A Life Coach is someone who does not need expertise in any particular field; they are only in requirement of the ability to extract the meaning of things from their clients. A Mentor, on the other hand is a person who understands what it is that their clients require for them to evolve into the being they want to be…and more. A Mentor is someone who has an ability to transfer knowledge, educate and train their clients, enabling their clients to push themselves harder and further than they have ever done so in the past.

“I always thought that my purpose on this planet was to help other people. I went out of my way to help others my whole life, often to my detriment. It took me many years to realize that in helping others, I was actually entitled to help myself in the process.” – Warren A Henningsen

Warren has access to some of the greatest minds, and best information on the planet and has one of the greatest abilities to network and build friendships the world has ever seen. His ability to transfer this knowledge and information is unsurpassed. He has a sincere love of his fellow being and is driven to make massive positive difference in the world. A great teacher is someone who, not only passes on knowledge, but assists and guides his or her students in applying that knowledge.

“I think that accountability is the key. If I can suggest anything it is, if you say that you can do something…Do It!! If you think that you are unable to do something or just don’t feel like doing it…Don’t offer to do it!! This even more so goes for the things you say to yourself. Be accountable for what you say and what you do. Your words create your world, be responsible and accountable for what you say.” – Warren A Henningsen

Warren’s simple system is one that is functioned almost conversationally. His clients gain the ability of learning through conversation. A coach believes in the greatness of the individual and creates a relationship which enables each person to discover their own uniqueness. Somewhat like the days of old, where educators sifted through the mists of time to tell tales which not only entertained but taught at the same time.

Warren blends stories of his own with tales of people he meets, friends and others when explaining any point of his vast knowledge on the power of the mind, Universal Law, understanding Fear and how to deal with it, dismissing procrastination, accountability and responsibility, just to name few points of his expertise. A good coach/mentor knows when it is time to push, time to be compassionate…even time to hang up the phone. Warren is not in it to make friends, although he inevitably does so (over time).

“Friendship comes through results; I believe that assisting people to achieve greatness is more than enough reason for friendship. It is via the experiences encountered throughout the journey that gets us to where we want to go; friendship is gained as a result. You don’t need to like me to learn from me.” – Warren A Henningsen

Warren is not afraid to take things to the next level in whatever it is that his clients are working on. His ‘straight up’, ‘direct’ attitude and way of handling hurdles is fortunately, somewhat contagious. He treats Fear as a friend, instead of something that is to be dismissed. By accepting Fear instead of trying to avoid it, Warren has found a means of not focusing on it.

“Fear is a natural reaction to the unknown. It is a guide that tells us to take precautions and to look before we leap. That is why, once we attain that which we were seeking, we are no longer in requirement of Fear and thus are no longer guided by it. By accepting Fear as a friend we no longer find ourselves focusing on eliminating it, which is a negative forceful act that draws more Fear to us. Thus, we enable ourselves to focus on the results we seek instead of the Fear that is stopping us.” – Warren A Henningsen

It is said that the word team is an acronym for Together Everyone Achieves More. Never is this truer than when using the services of a mentor like Warren Henningsen. Warren’s integrity is of paramount importance to him.

“What this world currently does not have enough of is awareness. If people could look into the communities based on the notion of community, they would see the results of team work at play in general life. The Jewish Community, the Chinese Community, the Japanese Community… the list goes on and on. Together Everyone Achieves More, T.E.A.M. There is ALWAYS strength in numbers. Bodybuilders call them spotters, someone who supports you (more mentally than physically) to enable you lift greater weight. We are stronger than Me!” – Warren A Henningsen

Within everyone is the innate ability to make changes (positive or negative). The major challenge seems to be in accessing this ability. If you are struggling in any part of your life; financially, emotionally, spiritually or physically, opportunity exists to alter your situation. Mentors like Warren can aid you in discovering the greatness that lies within you. They are skilled practitioners, teachers and coaches that empower their clients to manifest, grow and create.

If you are looking to explode your business, your relationships or your entire life in general, having a trusted guide to help keep you on track is a must! Ian Thorpe, arguably the greatest Olympic Swimmer in history – Coached by Laurie Lawrence. Andre Agassi, one of the greatest tennis players of all time was mentored by Anthony Robbins. Tiger Woods, #1 Golfer and highest paid professional athlete in the world is coached by Hank Haney. These are just a few of the greatest people in the world in their industry and their incredible abilities, whilst always inside them needed to be drawn out and coaxed into the foreground. We all hold greatness inside, mentors like Warren Henningsen understand how to highlight this incredible power, and bring it out.

“Thoughts are powerful, there is no denying this. However, thoughts without action are like a balloon without air. That’s just no fun at all!” – Warren A Henningsen

If you are looking at putting the air in your balloon or the wind in your sails, and thus create the life that you not only desire but the life that you deserve, a mentor like Warren A Henningsen can help you get there.

To Bully or Anti-Bully – Is that the question??

Posted by Warren Henningsen On March - 28 - 20105 COMMENTS

As most of you probably know, I am the extremely proud father of two incredible children.  My five year old boy has just completed his first term of primary school as what we call a preparatory student.  I am absolutely ecstatic at our choice of school as their policies and practices in regard to bullies – unruly behavior and the like is unquestionable.  My son is extremely well rounded and success driven, he is one of those kids that is happy, passionate, excited and friendly.  He has settled into his new regime with a skip in his step and a smile on his face.  On this hand, I am equally excited and happy for him in his transition from kinder garden to the commencement of his formal schooling.

On the other hand…

(Now, I am just putting these thoughts down to see what comes up in my own mind – I have not formed a solid opinion on the topic yet and would greatly appreciate the feedback to aid me in my search for more clarity on the subject.)

There is so much going on in the global media at the moment about children being bullied and hurting each other – bullies being hurt by their victims that they have pushed too far – kids hurting themselves to get away from how the bullies are either hurting them or threatening them and so on and so forth.

Bullying and harassment are often thought of separately; however both involve a more powerful person or group oppressing a less powerful person or group, often on the grounds of ‘difference’.  These differences can be related to culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, sexual orientation, ability or disability, religion, body size and physical appearance, age, marital status, parenting status or economic status.

Bullying and harassment
  • may be physical (hitting, kicking, pinching), verbal (name-calling, teasing), psychological (standover tactics, gestures), social (social exclusion, rumours, putdowns) or sexual (physical, verbal or nonverbal sexual conduct)
  • may be done directly (eg face to face) or indirectly (eg via mobiles or the internet)
  • may be motivated by jealousy, distrust, fear, misunderstanding or lack of knowledge
  • have an element of threat
  • can continue over time
  • are often hidden from adults
  • will be sustained if adults or peers do not take action.

Discrimination is treating one person or group less fairly or less well than others. Discrimination may be direct or indirect and based on factors such as ability, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, sexual orientation, physical appearance, age, religion, marital status, parenting status or economic status.

Individuals or groups can discriminate. So can an organisation’s policies and practices.

Violence is the damaging and destructive use of force. Violence is often used to assert power over individuals.

Violence:

  • is not just physical – it takes many forms
  • affects the safety, rights and freedom of others
  • may be a one-off incident between individuals or groups
  • can involve an ongoing relationship between parties
  • may involve provoked or unprovoked acts
  • may be used by those victimized by bullying to redress the imbalance of power.

Now, I know that I teach that energy flows where focus goes and by this teaching I am wondering are we, by focusing on all of this bullying/anti-bullying that is going on in the media at the moment that we are self perpetuating the very thing that we abhor.  But when I find myself looking at my little boy in primary school for the first time, I wonder…

Am I to focus on all that is magnificent for him and about him and provide him only with the tools required to deal with absolutely everything that he may encounter at school?  Is it not that my boy will not encounter bullies or aggressive kids in the playground?  Actually I hope that he encounters ALL types of children in the playground as it will only increase his ability to reason, liaise with others and build relationships will all types of people regardless of race, colour, creed, religion, socioeconomic background or anything else.

Either way, I KNOW that whatever experience my son encounters he will freely and openly share with both myself and my partner Nathalie exactly what occurred.  It is the requirement of the parents to raise their children in an openly communicative environment.  Children rebel, behave inappropriately/aggressively to others based on their understanding of how to get what they require in life.  These actions are passed onto them by the only source that they have access to…  Their parents.  Now whether this is directly, through personal actions or indirectly, through television, video games, DVDs, the news, or any other means is irrelevant.  All that matters is the responsibility of the parents to guide and develop the behaviour of their children.

Once again, I would like you to consider that we have a choice, we can focus on the symptoms…  BULLYING or we can focus on the cause…  THE PARENTS.

By focusing our attention on the cause we enable ourselves to look at creating a solution to this challenging situation.  The time has come to give the future back to our kids.  It’s our responsibility to not just look at stopping bullying in schools and the like but to stamp this out from the core.  I have always found it interesting that you need a license to get married but any Tom, Dick or Harry can have a child!  Now I am not suggesting that we insist on the  licensing of childbirth and/or pregnancy.  What I am suggesting is that we take our responsibility a little more seriously.

The time has come.

The great Australian rock band Midnight Oil wrote a song that aptly describes where we are on this.

The time has come,

To say fair’s fair,

To pay the rent,

To pay our share,

The time has come,

A fact’s a fact,

It belongs to them,

Let’s give it back.

Let’s give our children back the future that they deserve.  One filled with hope, the fulfillment of dreams and one that is abundant in ALL areas!  There is no question that the future is theirs, we are not here forever.  Is it not our obligation to ensure that this world improves and that our kids lives are better, easier, more enjoyable, and more abundant than our own?  The time has come, a fact’s a fact, it belongs to them, let’s give it back.

The Magic of Thinking Big!

Posted by Warren Henningsen On March - 27 - 201012 COMMENTS

Donald Trump nailed it when he said, “It takes the same energy to think big as is does to think small, you have to think either way so you might as well think big.”

H. Jackson Brown Jnr suggested that we should, “Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.”

David Joseph Schwartz said, “Think little goals and expect little achievements.  Think big goals and win big success.

Magic happens when you alter your thoughts.  All things that exist begin with a thought.  Henry Ford thought of a horseless carriage, Mahatma Ghandi thought of passive resistance to create freedom for the Indian People, Bill Gates saw the world wide web and fortunately for us all many millions of others thought big enough thoughts to alter the world, how we function in it and our very existence.

So many people consistently suggest that they can not do something, have something or be something.  The people mentioned above and the million others that I have not mentioned were no different to any other person on the planet, and that includes you!  The only two things that separated these people from anyone else was that they though big and that they had make an unshakable decision to create that which they were focused on.

Nothing is impossible for anyone!  The thought that something is impossible for you to have, be or do is the one thing that is making it impossible.  Asking small questions will put you on a path of discovering small answers – Asking big questions insist on the discovery of BIG answers.  I have said it on a number of occasions that the quality and standard of our lives are based wholly and solely on the quality and standard of your questions.

Ask not why you can’t do something – ask instead how you can do it!

You can fly!!

Conquering Depression Without Drugs

Posted by Warren Henningsen On March - 23 - 201074 COMMENTS

My friend Jacleen Allen wrote an amazing article on the power of the mind.  She has gratiously allowed me to share it with you all here.  I’ll leave it to Jacleen from here.-

If you want to follow some of her work you can find her at http://www.successzoneunlimited.net

____________________________________________________

I’ve experienced two major episodes of depression in my life, one as recent as last year (2008).  Both of these episodes, I was able to pull myself out of without taking drugs.

The first time it happened was 17yrs ago, when I was just 25.  It was in response to finding myself a single mum, my greatest fear.  I was devastated and was very hard on myself for allowing this to happen.  After weeks of trying to pull myself back together and feeling very weak and apathetic, I eventually asked my mother to drive me to the doctor (I felt unable to drive myself).  I was diagnosed with post-natal depression, but I knew it wasn’t that.  The doctor prescribed antidepressants, which I didn’t want to take, but I didn’t know what else to do.  After a week or two I still was not feeling any better and was told I had to give the drugs time to work.  About that time I discovered Louise Hay’s book ‘You Can Heal Your Life’, and I knew I would no longer take the drugs.

The book on its own did not help me to cure my depression, but it set me on a new path of personal responsibility, very empowering.  I also joined a meditation group and suddenly my world expanded.  I realised I was much more than what I had previously thought.  The group became my lifeline and slowly I made progress.  It was not a quick recovery and I tried many other things along the way, including counselling and hypnotherapy, but eventually I did feel better.

I met a new partner after 7yrs on my own and in the next few years I studied and practised several different natural therapy modalities and found myself attracting people who were dealing with physical symptoms caused by emotional distress.  I was dealing with a lot of stress myself at the time, all of it self induced.  I was being very hard on myself for not making any money from my work.  Then my son was born and I gave up on my practice, but not on being hard on myself.  Eventually it affected my relationship and we separated after 8yrs together. I was a single mum once again.  However, it wasn’t that that set me off on my second bout of depression.  It was financial struggle.

I was in the middle of my life coaching certification training and I’d just researched and written a 25 page document on how effective life coaching was for stress relief.  But this had gone beyond stress relief.  Even my meditation classes weren’t helping.   I needed something else.  Again, I didn’t want to take medication but did not know what else to do.  So I went to a doctor for a physical checkup to see if there was something going on but my physical health was fine.  She offered a referral to a psychologist but instinctively I felt this was not for me.

A few months earlier I’d attended a seminar where I’d learnt about NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and I searched for a coach who had done this company’s training.  Fortunately for me, I found the perfect coach who taught me, with just a small exercise, a huge lesson in self-talk.

“The most influential person who will talk to you all day, is you. So, you should be very careful what you say to you.” -Zig Ziglar

I was asked to notice and acknowledge in a notebook when I heard myself saying negative things about myself in my own mind.  At first I found it extremely difficult because I wasn’t even sure if I was doing that.  Oh, it was definitely happening, but it had been going on for so long and I had ignored it for years.  I described the feeling in my head as “white noise”.  After a week of what felt like a literal battle for my sanity I felt even worse and was wondering if I’d wasted my money on this coach.  But then she  pointed out that I was focusing on how I felt, rather than on the words I was hearing in my mind.  She told me to try again before our next session.

This time my intention was clear.  I was no longer focusing on how I was feeling, and sure enough I did start to pick up on negative things I was saying to myself.  At first there were a lot of negative things I was picking up, but over the following days I noticed that as I acknowledged the negative self-talk the  “white noise” was becoming less and less intense.   Then spontaneously I began to create affirmations that counteracted some of the things I was picking up.  For example at one stage I heard myself saying I was a loser… My affirmation became “I’m a winner”… and I repeated that to myself over and over again.  And to my utter surprise,  I began to remember and notice all the times that I was a winner and suddenly I was feeling really good about myself.

This was a huge revelation to me, because before I had always believed that my emotions ruled my life.  I’d heard that thoughts led to feelings, but I’d never believed that because I’d never connected thoughts to self-talk.  Now I know that to be true because I’ve experienced it.  This small exercise gave me back my power, and it was so simple!

I now practise as a Master NLP Practitioner and Life Coach.  I specialise in stress relief although my passion is working with women in business, or women wanting to be in business.

Footnote: It’s ironic that Louise Hay’s book ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ was the doorway to my healing 17yrs ago.  Louise’s book is all about how negative self-talk affects the physical body, but not so much about how it affects the mind.  There are no positive affirmations offered on how to deal with depression in that book.

It all happens so easily!

Some people seem to attract success, power, wealth and all other things that they want with seemingly very little effort at all; others achieve all that they desire through great difficulties and struggle.  Others still fail all together to reach their goals or attain their dreams.  Why is this so?

The truth is that each and every person on the planet is actually attaining EXACTLY that which they ask for.  Albeit they may not be asking for the achieved result consciously; but either way you get what you ask for….  Everytime….  No Exceptions!

Keep in mind that the mind creates negative conditions just as readily as favorable conditions and when we consciously (or unconsciously) visualize any kind of lack, limitation or discord we inevitably discover these conditions.  Sound familiar??

The Universe does EVERYTHING at ease.  Grass does not struggle to grow – the wind does not run out of breath because it is tired, actually let me put it this way….

There are326 Million Trillion Gallons of water in oceans of the Earth, that’s 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 Gallons!! or about  roughly 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters.  Now,  one liter of water weighs one kilogram so that’s 1260 Million Trillion Kilograms that the Universe effortlessly moves constantly back and forth all over the planet to allow the shores of our beaches all over the world to be gently lapped with water EASILY.

The entire Earth constantly rotates as does every planet in our solar system EASILY.

The sun rises EASILY.

We are born EASILY.

We pass on EASILY.

Everything happens, moves, stops, goes, is, wants, makes, changes, grows, slips, slides, blows, bustles, climbs, crawls, crosses, passes, drifts, drives, flows, flies etc. etc.  EASILY.

Many of my clients question me as to why they struggle to succeed in life.  Many people I know have at one stage or another said to me that they are not successful.  It always makes me smile because if you have not succeed to achieve success as yet, are you a failure?  Or, are you successful at not achieving that result yet?

When you focus on what you can’t do the Universe generously shows you more evidence that you can not do what ever the task is.  Alternatively, when you are focused on the attainment of an end result that you want, regardless of the ongoing outcomes – knowing that you will never stop until the goal is reached; the Universe will present more and more ongoing evidence that you can, will and have achieved the desired result.  EASILY.

It is all about where your focus is put.

Life is not meant to be easy – Life could be a dream – Money is hard to come by – Money comes freely and easily – You’re meant to fight with your spouse – All relationships are harmonious – You have to work like a dog to be wealthy – Work smart not hard.

It’s not that life should be hard or easy…  Life is meant to be life!  I invite you to focus on the desired results in your life with eager anticipation of what you KNOW is coming.  It makes the required actions seem so much more enjoyable, instead of being a chore.

Live life in the moment with the absolute assurance that what you want has already been created.  EASILY.

Enjoy the moment knowing that the journey ALWAYS leads to the destination that you have locked in.  EASILY.

You are loved, loving and love.  EASILY.


It’s time!

Time is a man made concept designed to allow all of human kind to make sense of it’s existence in a chronological frame.  It has been posed by many great minds that all things and all “times” are actually happening simultaneously.  For instance, Albert Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity demolished the idea of time as a Universal constant.  One consequence is that the past, present, and future are not absolutes.

This suggests to us all that life (as a chronological series of events) is not really about what we create or what the next step is rather than it being about which possibility we choose to see.  If you consider that all possible current situations that you could be in are happening RIGHT NOW at the same “time” and the only reason that you are experiencing the one that you are experiencing is because that is the possibility that you are currently aware of.  Therefore, to alter what you are experiencing all that you need to do is alter your awareness and thus allow the different possibility to become apparent.

You have chosen to be where you are in you life.  I know that to some of you reading this that this might come as a little bit of a slap in the face, but whether or not you have done this consciously or not is irrelevant.  Through your thoughts, feelings and actions to date you have chosen to allow this particular present to be apparent in your life.  The exciting part is that you can choose to alter this reality RIGHT NOW by simply changing your thoughts, feelings and actions immediately.

Everything happens in an instant, for all that exists is the very instant that we are currently in.  By making a clear, absolute, unchanging decision you alter your existence in this instant.  By remaining grounded in that decision you maintain your focus on the reality that you choose.

“We are due for another breakthrough in the understanding of time.  Einstein’s 1905 paper came out and suddenly changed people’s thinking about space-time. We’re again in the middle of something like that, when the dust settles, time—whatever it may be—could turn out to be even stranger and more illusory than even Einstein could imagine”, says Carlo Rovelli, a physicist at the University of the Mediterranean in Marseille, France.

Just something to think about.

Do What You Love

Posted by Warren Henningsen On March - 15 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

So many people I speak to tell me how much they hate their job, the work that they do or their lives in general.  What the???

Life is gift!  There is an old Chinese saying that states,

“The past is history, the future a mystery and today is a gift…. That is why its called The Present.”

I know that I have said it before but, I invite you to consider that in an eternal existence that you have an opportunity to experience physical experience for merely 90 or so years (if you are lucky!)

So many people in this world (physical) spend at least one third of their adult lives sleeping, one third participating in some form of entertainment and one third doing things that they dislike (working).  How is that so many millions of people have convinced themselves “work” must be something that must be endured rather than enjoyed?  I always find it interesting that the more love what I am doing the less it feels like work!

People are constantly amazed at how little I sleep.  You see, on average I only sleep about 4 to 6 hours per night.  The way that I see it is that there is so much to do in the 18 to 20 hours that are left.  So many people’s awareness to help increase, so many relationships to assist with, so many companies to help increase the profits of and so on and so forth.  I LOVE WHAT I DO!  I have found that whilst I am doing the things that I love I could just go on and on doing it.  It is not uncommon for my beautiful partner Nathalie to pull me aside and (nearly) force me to slow down or stop at times!!

When you love what you do you’ll find that all that you want to do is IT!  Even sleep becomes overrated.

Now, I am not telling all of you to quit your jobs and start doing whatever it is that you love doing. (especially if what you love doing is playing the playstation or x-box!!)  What I am saying is that there is a way of doing what ever it is whilst you are doing what you are already doing.  More importantly there are people in the world right now that would pay you for what it is that you are in love with doing.  As you develop your love and passion for it, the more that you will be able to do it.

Napoleon Hill in his amazing text, “Think and Grow Rich” stated that, “At first you must feed an idea, then the idea gains a life of its own and begins to feed you.”

Get out and do what it is that you love to do!  The world requires it, the universe requires it and all of the people that are looking for your product or service require it.

“ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.” – John Lennon

The Choice is Yours

The way in which we see the world is based on our understanding of ourselves.  We do not see the world as it is rather, we see the world as we see ourselves.

“Money is hard to come by.” – “Men, all the good ones are either taken or gay.” – “All women are b#%ches.” – “You have to step on everyone to be successful.” – “I’ll never make it!”

These are a few of the more common “perceptions” of the world that I hear on a pretty consistent basis.  But these “perceptions” are not perceptions at all.  What they really are are learned statements  that are more often than not given to us by the people that we love the most.  Let me tell you something….

They were wrong! (Unless you choose to believe them.)

The great Henry Ford once said, “If you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you are right!”

What you focus on comes to be.  When you put your attention into how difficult things are, inevitably you will (subconsciously) make certain that everything that you encounter is difficult.

Beliefs are merely pre-programmed thoughts founded in faith.  Whatever you believe you will do almost anything to prove correct.  The primary difference between the people who are living the life that you dream of and yourself is that their beliefs are more empowering or successful in the areas that you are looking at.  The best things about beliefs is that they are just like any of your thoughts and opinions and can be changed quite easily when you know how to do it.

Napoleon Hill taught about how all repetitive actions are actually governed by six basic human requirements;

1. Certainty

2. Uncertainty

3. Significance

4. Love/Connection

5. Growth

6.Contribution

Everything that you do, believe or think is stemmed from these primary requirements.

To alter your beliefs in any given area all that is required to attach a stronger feeling and emotion to new belief by committing the six basic requirements to it and then falling in love the new result.  The shifting, changing and replacing of paradigms is only thing that is getting in your way.  It is by getting out of your own way that you enable your true potential to shine through into existence.

Making Lasting Change

Posted by Warren Henningsen On March - 6 - 20103 COMMENTS

Many of my clients explain to me that taking the first step in a new direction, whether it be in overall life, business, relationships, spiritually or otherwise is not a difficult task.  What many of them explain is that it is maintaining their decision and ’sticking’ to that they struggle with.

Lasting change is only achieved by one or both of two means.  In other words, I have come to learn that there are only two ways to make lasting change in our lives.

1/ Sudden Massive Emotional Impact (S.M.E.I) and

2/ Constant Repetition of a New Ideal

S.M.E.I.

ie. Consider the events of September 11/2001.  When the two towers of the World Trade  Center in New York came down the entire planet stopped to view the apparent horrors that followed.  People were seen throwing themselves from the two buildings and the stories and events that followed told tales of phone calls of love and loss made from the aircrafts involved through to the entire gamut of explanations of how the series of events leading up to end result occurred.

The Sudden Massive Emotional Impact experienced by so many the world over was phenomenal to say the least.  There are now thousands, if not millions of people all over the world that will never get on an aircraft again, or will never work in a high rise building again, or will never trust people of certain heritage or religion again.

At the very least, there are many, many people that have made a lasting change in their lives based on this Sudden Massive Emotional Impact.

Constant Repetition of a New Ideal

This tends to be a much less painful means of making lasting change in any area of our lives.

Firstly, I would like to make it clear that when I refer to a new ideal I am meaning a new IDEA that you have fallen in Love with.

Think, for example back to a time when you had fallen in love with someone.  Was it necessary for you to set time aside in a day to think about that person?  Probably not.  It is more likely that you would have had to have struggled to set aside time to not think about them whilst you were trying to do anything else.  This is an incredible means of immersion that ensures that energy is flowing toward the success of the relationship.  By falling in love with any new way of being, thinking or growing, in the same way you dedicate to that new state in exactly the same way that new partner.

One of the easiest ways to learn any new language for example is to immerse yourself in it.  Let’s say for example you wanted to learn French.  The easiest way to do so would be to move to France.  Very quickly you will find yourself gaining an understanding of phrasing and vocabulary.  (It is amazing how quickly you pick up asking where the bathroom is!)

Success, happiness, peace, Universal Connection, whatever it is that you are looking for are merely other languages.  By immersing yourself in the language you want to learn you will find that your learning capacity increases also.

I recommend finding the people that have the required result you seek, or those that are living the kind of life that you are in search of and learning what they know.  Read the right books, listen to audio/mp3 seminars and conferences in the car, physically attend seminars/conferences and workshops, watch DVD workshops/conferences and seminars at home, gain the services of a coach or mentor that is an expert in the field that you want gain mastery over.  Do whatever you can to completely immerse yourself in the new language and commit to mastering it.

Through the Constant Repetition of the New Ideal you allow the new language to move from your conscious thought process into your subconscious.  In a way, you start thinking in the new language.

Merci Beaucoup!!
