The YES Poem

YES! – The Poem

As I started my quest in search of yes,
I soon found myself rejected by no.
Little did I realize that was the best,
That no was there for me to grow.

I learned not to take no personally,
Even though to me it never felt good.
I discovered that no really strengthened me,
The only thing going that actually would.

I kept pressing on in spite of it all,
And eventually the yeses they came.
I kept pressing on in spite of it all,
And I’ve never been just quite the same.

I grew and overcame my fears alright,
Of others not choosing to join the quest.
I knew that as long as I kept going bright,
I’d surely in time find only the best.

So never give up as you follow your dream,
No matter how hard it may oftentimes seem.
For it never quite matters how many resist,
The victory goes only to those who persist.

Yes, noes are for you to prosper and grow,
As you move on to what you are after.
The yeses will come and you surely will know,
They are what count the most ever after.

If only I’d known earlier to go and seek no,
I would have grown faster and sooner got yes.
So now that I’m sure of the power of no,
I’m getting more yeses and untold success.

The Powerful Question of a Three-Year-Old

Parents, remember saying these things? "Come over here," you demand. The response, "Why?" "Because I said so," you continue. And on it goes. "Why?" is such as powerful question. It's also timeless. Start asking "why?" like you did when of your Mum and Dad when you were three. But now ask it of yourself.

"Why?" gives you energy. When you know why you are working toward something, it's easier to stay committed when the going gets tough. When you have a reason for doing something, the work never seems as hard as it otherwise might. No just doesn't matter anymore - you know you'll get through it all and win those yeses - as long as you don't quit.

The next time you're deciding whether or not to take on a certain task, ask yourself "Why?" Why would you want to do it? What's your reason? Come up with a positive why for yourself, get started, and you'll find the task goes more quickly and doesn't seem as difficult. Your attitude will be contagious and attract others to you. Shift your attitude and home in on whatever target is beckoning your attention.

What If ....................

Suppose someone comes along, offering you an exciting alternative to the life you're living? Perhaps they show you a way to change it for the better, financially or personally, or better yet, both. Can you imagine yourself wondering "What if this works? What if I could grow and become more than I am today? What if I could live the life I've always wanted"?

If you believe nothing works except what you're doing, that's all you can ever hope to attain. Using that line to prove they're not cut out for greater success makes people hide behind the so-called security of their job, happy with it or not.

When an opportunity presents itself, people who accept their lot in life and are used to following the crowd, often feel as if they have no choice but to turn it down. They believe risktakers are destined to lose. Perhaps they have conditioned themselves to focus on negative results. Seldom focusing on the positive, the news media usually creates dramatic headlines out of failures and setbacks. By the time people reach adulthood, it's easier to believe in negatives than positives - noes rather than yeses.

What if you could change you life by changing your outlook? What if success is ade up more of attitude rather than aptitude? What if yeses come after noes? What if all you had to do was ask "What if?" to any life-enhancing idea you can think of? What if you make the decision to take the steps required to take full advantage of an idea, and go on your way toward accomplishing your dream or objective?

There are people all over the world who are living the life they want. They started their journey, often with much less going for them that you or I, essentially with one simple question: What if I really could change my life for the better by not letting no stop me?

"Success is connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit." Conrad Hilton.

Excerpts from YES! How Noes prepare you for the Yeses that shape your future. John Fuhrman

The Self-Empowerment Pledge

Monday's Promise: Responsibility
I will take complete responsibility for my health, my happiness, my success, and my life, and will not blame others for my problems or predicaments.

Tuesday's Promise: Accountability
I will not allow low self-esteem, self-limiting beliefs, or the negativity of others to prevent me from achieving my authentic goals and from becoming the person I am meant to be.

Wednesday's Promise: Determination
I will do the things I'm afraid to do, but which I know should be done. Sometimes this will mean asking for help to do that which I cannot do by myself.

Thursday's Promise: Contribution
I will earn the help I need in advance by helping other people now, and repay the help I receive by serving others later.

Friday's Promise: Resilience
I will face rejection and failure with courage, awareness and perseverance, making these experiences the platform for future acceptance and success.

Saturday's Promise: Perspective
I will have faith that, though I might not understand why adversity happens, by my conscious choice I can find strength, compassion, and grace through my trials.

Sunday's Promise: Faith
My faith and my gratitude for all that I have been blessed with will shine through in my attitudes and in my actions.

(Grateful to Joe Tye and Your Dreams are Too Small)

Are you living in the problem, or in the solution?

Successful businesses and successful people know what they really want and are willing to do whatever it takes, within the parameters of integrity and honour, to get it.

You can live in the problem, or, you can live in the solution!

If you choose to live in solutions, the world eagerly awaits your dreams and provides every tool and opportunity you need to turn them into reality.

If you keep doing the same things over and over again, you will keep getting the same results.

We are successful when we achieve objectives we have established in advance.

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments” Jim Rohn

Feathers in the Wind

“Apparently a young man made a habit of slandering the town’s wise man. One day, realizing the harm and hurtfulness of his actions, he went to the wise man’s home and asked for forgiveness. The wise man, realizing that the young man had not really internalized the gravity of his transgressions, told him that he would forgive him on one condition; that he go home, take a feather pillow from his house, cut it up, go to the edge of a cliff, and scatter the feathers to the wind. After he had done so, he should then return to the wise man’s house. Though puzzled by this strange request, the young talebearer was happy to be let off with so easy a penance. He quickly cut up the pillow, scattered the feathers, and returned to the house. “Am I now forgiven?” he asked. “Just one more thing” the wise man said “Go now and gather up all the feathers” “But that is impossible. The wind has already scattered them. There is no way to retrieve them.” “Precisely” he answered, “ And though you may truly wish to correct the evil you have done, it is as impossible to repair the damage done by your words as it is to recover the feathers. Your words are out there in the marketplace, spreading hate, even as we speak.”

Judge the value of my words before I speak. Speak only what may benefit others and myself. Avoid evil speech, gossip.

Kind, encouraging words can build a person's self-esteem, help him/her to grow and give them the impetus they need to do great, significant things with their lives.

The Secret Meaning of Names

A few years ago I was called for Jury Service. Now if that has happened to you, you know how disruptive it can be to your life unless you place another face on it and have a bit of fun. Walking to the court I happened to pass a book shop and in the window was a book that caught my eye "The Secret Meaning of Names" by Ren Lexander PhD. At the top of the book it said "You won't be interested in this book - unless you have a name" - that really had me!

I was sitting quietly in the court waiting area - with 200 other people - and the lady next to me asked "what are you reading". Soon I had 10 ladies wanting to know so we moved to a quieter part of the waiting area and spent a wonderful hour with this book. What was written resonated with everyone.

I use the name "Carol" - my birth name is "Carolyn" - meaning - Carolyn - may be a Leen Name indicating a child will be lent on by the family or vice-versa. Carol is often a Nurture Name indicating a parental desire for a caring daughter - as if it is her role to care for all. Has connections with Christmas, joy and singing.

There is much more in the book - The Theory of Name Decoding, The Practice of Name Decoding, Categories of Names and Name Decodings. Here are some real life examples of surnames and occupations.

D. Vine - A wine producer
JJC Smart - Professor of Philosophy
Ashley Burns - A fireman (Ash-ly Burns)
B. Sinclair - A plumbing inspector (Be sink-clear)
Phil Sparks - An electrician (Feel sparks)
Mr Herdegen - A live-stock advisor (Herd-again)
Neil Gamble - head of the Sydney Harbour Casino
H Head and WR Brain - Neurologists
John Fairfax - The Fairfax (Fair Facts) family started off a newspaper empire
Edmund Hilary - The first conqueror of Mt Everest: Edmund Hilary (Head-man Hill-ry)
L Seymour - L See-more is a cameraman

You will also find a lots of footballers with Athletic Names - Rodney (Rod-knee), Tony (Toe-knee); and stacks of nurses and school teachers with Nurture Names such as Karen (Caring) and Sharon (Sharing).

Life is a Stage

In Shirley MacLaine's book "It's all in the Playing" she talks about -

Life is a stage and each of us are players upon it. We choose our parts, but how we play them is the real issue. Sometimes we complain about the parts we have written for ourselves; sometimes we wish we had someone else's part. More important than anything, we so harshly judge the manner in which we play ourselves, as well as how someone else is playing his or her part. We all know there is a need for protagonists and antagonists in a "play" in order to have colour and dramatic, or even comedic, tension. Without the polarity of tension and points of view in a play, there is no interest. So why is it that we are so unwilling to be tolerant of those very values that give us the colour and tension and differences in the grander play called life?

What part have you chosen for yourself? What one thing has provided a turning point in your life? Are you a protagonist (overcomer of obstacles) or an antagonist (creator of obstacles)? Was tolerance one of your virtues, or did you work hard to make it one of your virtues?
