Waving Flag – Official World Cup South Africa 2010 Theme Song

We were fortunate that we had fantastic bands the likes of Black Eyed Peas and artists like Alicia Keys and Shakira. It was awesome.However what really made this special, was it was first a goal of one man, Former President Nelson Mandela had this dream many years ago before anyone even knew it would be possible. We give thanks to him for we are now seeing his dream come to fruition.

What does this have to do with you?
Always set yourself a dream that is larger then life.A dream that may seem impossible to achieve by you alone. You will be surprised how many people will come together to make that dream come true.Everything that you see around you was once a dream and that dream was achieved.So believe in yourself and always know that with faith anything is possible.

21 May 2010 marks the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars The Empire Strike Back which was realeased in 1980.
In honor of that anniversary,Im giving you two reason why The Empire Strikes Back Still Rules.

For starters we first learnt about The Force in Star Wars A New Hope and it is an integral to all subsequent incarnations of Star Wars.

In The Empire Strikes Back, Emperor Palpatine states “There is a great disturbance in the Force.” in reference to Luke Skywalker. Yoda points out that “a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force.” while training Luke Skywalker.Master Yoda also explains that “you must feel the Force around you.” During their battle in Cloud City, Darth Vader tells Luke “The Force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet.” Finally, Luke Skywalker says “May the Force be with you” at the end of the movie.

What is The Force?

In Star Wars A New Hope, the Force is first described by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as an energy field created by all living things, that surrounds and penetrates living beings and binds the galaxy together.

Perhaps the best way to describe what the Force is can be seen in this scene.

As you can see that no problem is big enough for you to overcome.You have the power inside of you to achieve whatever you want in your life.

What are your limiting beliefs?

When somebody tells me they are going ‘TO TRY’ I know they are not going to do it.
Always remember Master Yoda’s words ‘Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try’

What beliefs have you imposed upon yourself that is preventing you from becoming the person you are truly meant to be?
Do you look at your problems as something so huge that you cannot overcome them? What is it that you are considering as impossible?
Right Now I want you to change all of that and truly BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and FEEL THE FORCE
within you!

Do not look at your problems and see how big they are, tell all your problems how big God is and that He will always be there for you.
You just need to HAVE FAITH and always remember one thing NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

This was another great scene in the film when Darth Vader tells Luke “I am your father.”

What are the other scenes in the film that you liked?
What are some of the catch phrases that you really love?

SUCCESS OR FAILURE
Discipline may be a thing that is done with regards to children however an important factor it may be in raising children an overbalance of destructive criticism and punishment will ultimately lead to insecurities in a child. Later on in life these feelings eventually develop into fears of failure, the horrible fear of failure and probably the worst one of the lot the fear of success.

“Why are we scared to die? Do any of us remember being scared when we were born?” - Trevor Kay

UNDERSTANDING FEAR?
In order to overcome fear one needs to understand where the fear is coming from.
What problem is most the dominant problem in people’s lives?

People have the fear of living to the fullest. They sabotage their own efforts. Most people live their lives in this fear bondage. They develop habits of self sabotage and procrastination.It’s the most dominant problem in your life today. You need to see is which fear is it? Is it the fear of failure rejection or success?

“The only thing we have to fear is fear it’self – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”-Franklin D Roosevelt

BREAK YOUR FEAR HABIT
How would you break this habit? FEAR is not going away. It is here to stay. It is a gift. Remember you were born with only 3 Fears – Falling, loud noises and abandonment!
You see FEAR is a means of protection not destruction!

“There would be no one to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.”-Mahatma Gandhi

OUTSIDE FEARS
These are outside of you, typically the fear of spiders or snakes. This is brought on by a negative experience from your past manifesting itself in the present. You have made a negative emotional link and therefore you are motivated to avoid it. This is in most cases somebody else’s fear that is imprinted upon you and you adopt it believing it to be true.

“The greatest obstacle to love is fear. It has been the source of all defects in human behaviour throughout the ages.”-Mahmoud Mohammed Taha

THE SUBCONSCIOUS FEAR
The manifestation of our subconscious fear results in Self-Sabotage.This occurs when you achieve more then you belief you should so you sabotage yourself. This is when you think you are not good enough. Nobody told you that however you have somehow convinced yourself of that so you mess things up in your life. So as a result of this you motivate yourself to avoid a change and go back to where you believe you are supposed to be. This is typical of people who make a lot of money quickly and then go on a spending spree and then have no more money left.

“Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth– more than ruin, more even than death.” -Bertrand Russell

INTERNAL FEARS
This is one that you link to a negative emotion from your past. This is something inside of you like low-self esteem. This is often adopted by the way you were treated by your parents and peers when you were a child as well as the things you experienced in your life. Your parents may treat you the way they were treated as a child

“To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.”-Bertrand Russell

YOUR BREAKTHROUGH
What you need is to experience the total opposite of fear and that is Love.A Strong Desire will cause you to overcome your fear. When you really love something and passionate towards it and truly believe in yourself, the desire within you will cause you to overcome any fear that comes towards you. You need to accept fear for what it is and must think to react appropriately towards it. This means you must control yourself and not let fear control you! You must develop love and courage. The best way to overcome fear is to face it head on.

“Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it.” – Lt. John B. Putnam Jr.

So today as we embrace a life of fearlessness, let’s proclaim:

I trust God 100%
I trust God Absolutely.
I trust God and nothing else.
I trust God instead of appearances or what I can see.
I trust God beyond what I feel.
I trust God in spite of less than favorable circumstances.
I trust God to never leave me or forsake me.
I trust God to meet ALL my needs.

The Martial Arts
There are plenty of different types of Martial Arts in the world. You can see just how many here :
List Of Martial Arts at Ken To Fude No Ryu Karate

I have been training in the Martial Arts for over 25 years and what I have noticed is that it is exactly like building a Network Marketing business. You find people who enrol become White Belts in Japanese Martial Arts they attend a few classes and then stop and drop out. You will also find those that start off remain for a short while and then give up before achieving a Black Belt and then you find there are just a handfull that continue and actually do achieve their Black Belts. These people have true non-quiting attitude.

Opportunists
You will find that there are so many people who go around their whole life looking for opportunities and never ever take any. Did you know that in January you find the most amount of people who want to gym and never actually enrol or those that do enrol never attend a class. I call them opportunists as they just like to look and then they live their life as they know they can never achieve success in it. They are the hopeless failures in life and say ah what can I do? I’m not good enough. Well nobody told them that as they have convinced themselves of that Falsehood.They prefer to live their life in mediocrity.Its okay we need people like that.

Surprising Statistic
Did you know that from 10,000 people that start up a Martial Art like Karate there will be only 1 that will ever achieve the rank of 4th Degree Black Belt and earn the title of Sensei. This statistic must shock you. Well you see most people simply give up as they get distracted they allow their wives or husbands or even their parents and friends stop them from achieving what they initially set out to achieve. There are those that let the weather or television or even exams and studies stop them.
Most people never even make it to a 1st Degree Black Belt because they simply give up.

Looking for the next best thing
The other thing that happens is you find those that are always looking for the next fad or next craze and jump from one thing to the other. You find people going from karate to kickboxing then boxing then Ta Bo and they just keep on with this habit. Just like Network Marketing or even Jobs for that matter you find people who jump from one company to the other and never achieve any kind of significant success.

Become a Sensei
You will find that there are some people who will never ever give up no matter how many of their friends higher ranked or lower ranked then them give up. Wow isn’t that surprising! Same thing happens in Multi Level Marketing.Isn’t it amazing how someone in a level that you want to be at actually gives up. Those people that never give up eventually become top leaders in the industry and they get all the recognition, awards and they even get to travel the world. Some of those people become our mentors, teachers / Sensei’s and they teach 100’s of people. So many people say you so lucky I wish I didn’t give up but now it’s too late. Let me remind you of one thing as long as you are alive it is never too late. Once you dead ok then it’s time to rest and only then its too late.

Become a Master
Then there are those special few people who remain with an organization for a long time they become recognized not only in their own company or dojo they become recognized by others from other organizations. These people hold seminars, workshops and so many people take them very seriously around the world. These people are the Masters or gurus in their trade. Just being in their company you are looking for that one line or thing that they will say that will change your life forever.

The Dream and The Master
Hold on tight to your dreams. Never ever allow a negative thought or a silly distraction to stop you or prevent you from achieving the true Success that you want. Are you going to be a Master of your own life or allow other people or circumstances to stop you. Nobody can stop you but yourself!!
Life is about living and making decisions. Make the right decision. Be an achiever inside and uphold. The code of the Samurai and remain Loyal & Honourable to your Dreams.

BE The Best of The Best!
Yes YOU can have the loving heart of a child and the fearless heart of a Samurai Warrior and be The Master of your own life.
You are a Human ‘BE’ing so ‘BE’

What To Consider Before Joining a Network Marketing Company…

Products. Look for the product that gets you most excited and that’s the best product for you. The key to success in network marketing comes from keeping yourself excited and bought-in psychologically to the product you’re selling.

Leadership. I once walked away from a solid monthly income solely because I lost faith in the company’s leadership. A foundation of integrity is the bedrock of success for any network marketing company. When you promote a company, that company’s reputation and integrity will be a direct reflection of your reputation and integrity.

Sales and Marketing Programs. Make absolutely sure the company you are considering has a strong sales and marketing program in place. That way, all you and your organization will have to do is use the tools (i.e. CDs, DVDs, brochures, magazines, web sites, etc.) to do the presenting for you.

Mentorship. Is there someone in the company with a track record of success in building his or her income who is also able to assist others in creating success as well? Your chances of success will sky rocket if you can work with someone who has experienced success and wants to help you become successful. Most importantly, your mentor should be someone you trust and believe in.

Timing. Timing is not going to make or break your success but it’s something to consider. I’ll share more on timing following the next list of top network marketing companies.The biggest lie when it comes to Network Marketing is ground florr opportunity.Get in now and you can be at the top.
Remember if you do not do anything it really does not matter if you are right at the top or if you join 10 years later.What matters is what you do!

If I have left your company off please let me know what it is please note for it to be considered it must be in South Africa with at least over 300 members before I will consider it.

I would like to encourage you to accept the fact that any negative beliefs you have about yourself are nothing more than lies that you’ve made up.
Fill your mind with positive, empowering thoughts and those thoughts will soon become your beliefs. Believe in yourself and your abilities and soon success will follow!

A very powerful message my mother once told me I have no idea where she got it from
‘Never allow a negative thought to have a seed in your heart’

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. President

You are a unique individual.You are destined for greatness!
Every human being on Earth has the ability to achieve something spectacular that only their uniqueness allows.
However not everyone achieves this.They live their lives in mediocrity with their greatness inside them.

You were only born with two natural inbuilt fear!

A fear of falling and a fear of loud noises.
These two fears were built into our DNA and passed on from generation to generation as a survival mechanism.
Its only purpose was to keep as alive by alerting us to a potential danger and thus creating an emotion within us to avoid danger.

So if you were not born with other fears where did they come from?
The answer to this is that at some point in your life your adopted them.
Some past event caused you to associate danger or a painfull experience and now you are really motivated to avoid experiencing that negative emotion.

We human beings associate things with a high emotional intensity.If you have to think of the day of 911 you will proberlby remember exactly where you were and what you did on that day.It was a very emotional experience that shocked the whole world.
We are motivated by two things : to avoid pain or to gain pleasure.
If we associate something as painful we become fearful.
What are you you fearful of? Why are you allowing your fears to stop you from achieving what it is that you really want?
What is it that you really want that will bring you pleasure.?
We basically need to reverse our fears and make them into something pleasureable.

When I was 13 years old I got into a fight in school and I decided to take up the Martial Arts.I took a negative fearfull and scary experience
and turned it into something positive.A year later after that experience I entered into a tournament and I fought somebody who was much bigger then me. Was I scared? No ways, I was very excited! I thought to myself yes I might get hurt however I am going to be courageous and I may be small however I am much faster and I remember the saying ‘The bigger they are the harder they fall.’ So hmm this looks like the opportunity to put that to the test and face my fear and you know what I won and yip that saying is very true.

So you see the thing about fear is that its a learnt experience and the great thing is you can unlearn the fear.However you need to know what is causing it and what can you do to overcome it.


Be courageous my friend!

Be on the lookout for Part 2 – Overcoming Fear

Our Greatest Fear

Marianne Williamson from her book “A Return to Love”

‘Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.’
