What I Learned From My 5th Grade Grandson

Over the weekend my Grandson came to visit.  He had homework that he had to complete during his stay, in the subject of science. First thing I learned was the show “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader” is no Joke.

I then took on the task to learn what he all ready knew. His assignment was about the earth and one part was talking about Constructive Plates vs Destructive Plates.  The definition is as follows:
Constructive plates also known as Conservative plate margins slide together resulting in added or increase into the Earth…such as Mountains forming.  Destructive plates are when two plates collide and then pull apart from each other-tearing things down…as in Earthquakes.

Now you may ask…SO WHAT…bear with me

As I listened to the definitions (or was reminded as I must have learned this in my school years, not so sure it was in fifth grade then) it hit me…this is just like life/relationships/business.

How…you may be asking.

Think about this. If you are a business owner (Let’s say a Home Based Business Owner) are you adding increase into your clients/buyers….or….are you being destructive and tearing things apart and struggling in it.

I have learned in order to succeed in business you have to add increase into what you give to your client/prospect/buyer.  You have to give them more than what they expect and add increase into them.

I have read many inspirational books and a mentor that I have…Joe Schroeder…constantly teaches- you must add increase into people…give them more than they expect…if you want a successful legacy built and you don’t want to start over every 6 months.  He also states as well as all the books on the subject…many try to tear apart…and in the end you are left with less than and struggling to figure out why.

So which are you doing…when you really sit down and think…could this be why your business isn’t where you want it to be?  Are you adding increase into what you do and who you are?

Repetition IS The KEY To Any New Skill and Success!!!!

We have all heard this before…do you understand why it is so profound?

Repetition IS the KEY To Any New Skill…or to your SUCCESS!!!!

If you are like me…you have read dozens of success and self help books.

Have you ever thought why it is so hard to stay focused on all that you have read?

You can read each book 1,000′s of times and still you don’t feel that

you have gained anything….just bits and pieces stay with you…

 

What I learned is Repetition is the KEY to all success….just like

when you were a kid and you wanted to learn to ride a bike…

if you were like me…it didn’t go just as I had planned the

first…second or third time.

 

However…I kept trying and because I had such a desire

to ride my bike….no matter how many times I fell…I always

jumped right back on…until I did it subconsciously…without

thinking about what I was doing….and what I learned at an

early age was this…anything you want to do you can do…

if you want it bad enough…practice it over and over in your

head…pat yourself daily for how much closer you are to it.

 

Your subconscious mind is your fuel…that drives the bike…

that drives the car…that does anything that you do long

enough for it to become habit….You have to FOCUS in on

what you want…which if you really want it…isn’t hard at all.

 

What you ultimately end up doing is Speaking your desire

into existence….and the key that has helped me is when

I see it in my head or write it down…I do it in the presence…

not the future….and what happens is your subconscious can’t

tell the difference between now the past or the future…so

you start to bring forth that which you want.

 

Any new skill is awkward feeling when you first do it….and if

you don’t really want to learn that new skill…you will most

likely give up on it before it becomes your habit…however

if it is something you can see, feel, smell and touch within your

mind…nothing….absolutely nothing will stop you from learning

and retaining…and turning into what you all ready see yourself

having.

 

The key is to have Faith…Focus and above all REPETITION into

what you are wanting….make it a habit…teach your subconscious

that it is all ready here.

 

I leave you with this…reading self help books won’t alone

change your life because just reading the Words on the page

isn’t an experience…it isn’t DOING…you have to take what you

read and turn it into an experience a working environment

for your future….

 

I was lucky enough to learn this from a coach that I have…

although I knew it…subconsciously….I had to be reminded

by none other than the Great Cowboy…Joe Schroeder

 

If you are looking for a change…this is where you start.

call 1-800-772-9781 ext 14

and follow the prompts

tell them Linda sent you…today is your day.

 

So the point is if you see something in your head or you are

trying to change something in your life that you want so

desperately you can hear….taste….smell and see it…even

though it isn’t in front of you yet…you have to learn to

trick your MIND into thinking and believing exactly what

you tell it.

 

And that means repeating over and over again to yourself

writing your goals/dream down on a daily basis

The Lesson I Learned from “Horton Hears A Who”

Is there a lesson in Horton Hears A Who!

 

It’s funny how sometimes…something that you see,

hear or read brings clarity.  For example I am reading

a study guide called “Warriors Nest” bynone other–

Joe Schroeder.

 

This morning I took a few minutes to read page 5 of this book. It was

like someone thumped me on the head…Thanks Joe….LOL

 

Let me explain…as a child…then later as a mother…

and now as agrandmother…my all time favorite

Dr Seuss Book is… none other than

Horton Hears a WHO!”

 

You guessed it Page 5 of  “Warriors Nest”

is about this story. and while reading this

page it struck me like a Ton of Bricks…

why this story was and is my favorite.

 

If you haven’t read this story…

I strongly urge you to do so…or if you

prefer…their is a movie with

Jim Carey as Horton now…so do yourself

a favor and read…or watch the movie.

 

The Story tells so much as to how life really is.

 

The main concept is -

Even if someone doesn’t hear you….

Never give up…don’t stop trying…

as Joe says…you don’t have to get it right

you just have to get it going…..

 

From the time we are little and go to school

we are all taught we need to strive to be perfect…

go for the straight A’s in school…if not….

you aren’t as good as everyone that does…

 

What they don’t necessarily tell you is…

no one is perfect…we were born to make mistakes…

and within our mistakes…each others mistakes,

True MASTERY is born.

 

Ahh but I am on a rant and we need to get

back to the reasoning ofHorton…

and his unfaltering belief in himself and the Who’s.

 

Even though Horton’s friends and family…

didn’t believe him…in fact many of them

thought him a bit nuts…he never gave up

and got beneath the Who’s to stand up together

to be heard.

 

You may ask how does this relate to the real world….

let’s think about it…

how many times have you believed in something…

however others around you maybe don’t…

so you just keep quiet…

rather than standing up for what you believe?

All of us have done this at some point…

didn’t want to be outcast…or thought weird.

 

Here is the lesson though…

What if you are the one person…

The “JO JO” in “Horton Hears A Who!

that  makes the difference…

What if your voice…was the one voice

that someone was actually heard above all

others…to realize they weren’t alone and all they

needed was to hear your voice to bring it into focus…

to understand….so many times we let people around us

forget who we are…who we truly are deep inside…thinking

we are alone…and in actuality…others are just waiting to

hear someone else feels exactly like they do…

and you were that one person…

that gave them permission to stand up and be heard.

 

Does this ring true for you…and you want to learn how to

get your voice heard…call this number and follow the

instructions that you are prompted to…

we learn to be celebrated…rather than tolerated.
