Philosophy vs. Information

I recently had the privilege to sit with an author who has
appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show. He saw something in me
that compelled him to have an extended conversation with me,
just days after we met.

As we sat down over breakfast, he began to share his
philosophy of how he attained overwhelming success and
international stardom from writing his book. This was no
ordinary moment, as the inner-workings of his success were
laid out on the table for me. What I did with it was solely
up to me.

On the ride home I was excited, but focused, as I knew that
this could potentially be a moment that could alter my
current course in life. The blue-print was laid out, so I
began to think, what can I take away from this situation?

I've been around my share of people in the self-development
industry in many capacities, but I've never experienced
information as concentrated as this, in such a short
meeting.

A philosophy is the inner-workings behind a person's results
in life. With general information in any given area, you can
find your way, maybe? When you adopt a person's philosophy
you now afford yourself the benefit recreating what that
person has already accomplished.

A philosophy is potent information with no guess work
involved. If you have a choice of seeking a proven
philosophy against general information, always choose the
philosophy!

At times, people want the thrill of saying "I did it my way"
in life, but this often turns into the long road to
accomplishing your vision. The short cut lies in finding
someone who's done it, and applying their personal
philosophy of how they have attained what you envision
yourself having.

It's an uncommon act of humility to adopt someone else's way
of doing things, but any uncommon act of humility is always
a prelude to incredible increase. Look for ways to practice
humility in the situations of life, and you'll take leaps,
not steps!

You won't lose yourself when adopting someone's philosophy;
rather you will truly find yourself. Everything won't be
done exactly the way the other person has done it.

The innate you will merge with the person's way of thinking
and create your unique imprint in the sands of the universe.
To die is to gain immeasurably.

Information gives you the "how to," while a philosophy
reveals the exact science. The common threads of successful
people are the ties that bind your success.

More Motivation...

Here's a positive affirmation you can write down and repeat
to yourself when you need a quick burst of inspiration...

"I was made for greatness. Each time I step out of my
comfort zone I experience growth in some way -- be it
personally or professionally. I was not meant to live my
life as a static being -- never experiencing change of any
sort. I was born to spend each day being the best I can be
-- striving to unleash my utmost potential.

When I move in the direction of my dreams, no matter
insurmountable it may appear in this moment, all sorts of
people, life situations, and opportunities appear which move
me forward, like a snowball down a hill picking speed to
bring my dreams into reality. Through action, persistence,
and a willingness to learn along the way my goals and dreams
are transformed into reality!"
