Hollywood Philosophy & Semantics

Here’s a few pieces of an old crazy movie that I been watching a couple of times. Whatever you think about Hollywood and their movies there’s a lot of people who brainstorm, think and write those scripts. There’s good and bad movies but I like to look for the lines or moments that’s applicable to me and my life.

Between “2.44-3.04” the character “Garland Green” gives a speech about semantics and insanity.

Later on at “3.24-4.30” the sick person and mass murderer is given a different perspective on his paradigm by a little girl, which we all do here and there when we starts to feel out of control in our own lives.

The reason I’d like to share this with you is because it’s Friday and suddenly the majority of people starts to think that life suddenly is brighter, and on Monday it’s dark again.

But not you of course, because by now you know that it’s…………..

INSANE and YOU got your

hole world in YOUR hand!

BODY MIND and SOUL

This is a cliché that's been watered down to rock bottom. Every fitness chain is using it for all their impersonal and anonymous activities they sell. Because in my opinion you don’t really train neither nor when you move as easy as possible in front of a television in an air-conditioned environment and your water bottle and pamper towel inches away. I don’t write this to sound macho but hand on your heart, is it really? It’s exercise yes, and there’s nothing wrong with that.. My point though is that every January every gym is crowded of people with a new year resolution who tries to accomplish something as easy as possible with as little resistance as possible. They don’t stay to long and in February it’s not crowded any longer. WHY?

In my opinion your mind has to be present and fight the resistance as well. Your muscles grow and get stronger the more resistance they face and so does the mind. So next time you don’t feel like working out remind yourself that you’re just facing some resistance and RIGHT NOW is the time to break through.

If you can manage this mindset with discipline your body and mind will create the soul of a warrior. You will win your daily battles and walk with pride and you will become unstoppable. The greater your self-discipline the greater your self-confidence.

In Philippines warrior is Mandirigma and the last couple of years we conduct this seminar in North Africa that we call “Mandirigma camp” with the slogan “Harder-Better-Stronger”. The harder you treat yourself, the stronger you will be and the better you will feel.

So what is the resistance you are facing today, and what are you going to do about it?

Role model mindset

Technorati-taggar: role model mindset skalber skålberg kali sikaran

I got myself a quick cold this weekend, not to bad but good enough to challenge the work. I still had to teach a workshop on Saturday and a Sport class on Sunday which worked ok with support of some aspirin and menthol to cover up the hangover look. But working didn’t really support the recovery to good so this morning it got worse. No rest for the wicked, I’d still have to bring my son to school early morning.

This is something I normally enjoy doing but not really this morning though. So I planned to be a little bit lazy and drive us there to save some of the low personal energy. But the car was completely covered in ice when we got out so that wouldn't save any time or energy. After a quick adaptation we started to walk and it was quite a nice and fresh morning anyhow.

After a minute there’s another kid entering the street in front of us heading for school as well. My son start to ask me questions about the other kid which we don’t know. I answer most of the questions (in a fatherly tone) that I don’t know because we don’t know anything about him and we are not close enough to ask him ourselves. (I want to teach my son not to think or suppose anything without some personal research first)

Then the kid take another road to school and my son start to ask questions about that. Why he choose that way and if he would be in school before us. I answered again that I didn’t know and that it depends on how fast we walk. (I want to teach my son that the outcome is depending on his own effort and it’s his responsibility if he want to affect it)

To my surprise my son just says “Let’s run to school” and there I where with my small cold and a large desire to NOT RUN. (I want my son to play out and have fun whenever he can)

As the role model I want to be there’s no way in h_ll that I will be the boring one telling him that I don’t want to run or that my small cold will set back an enthusiastic mindset that will build a strong physiology for his day in school. (Lead by example)

So there we where the only crazy ones running to school this cold morning. My son for fun and I was proud but a little bit dizzy and a body feeling like an old locomotive with a very high pulse :)

I can live without another experience like this, but not without the memory of it. It puts a big smile in my mind.

New Habits

Technorati-taggar: habits goals world champion mindset skalberg skålberg kali sikaran create new habits

I set a lot of goals as usual and I got some questions about how to handle it all without to much stress and frustration. And the best way for me is to analyze what I need to do on a regular basis and what kind of person I need to be to get there. Then I think of what kind of habit I have to add to make it happen. So instead of looking for the big kahuna quickfix one shot solution I build up a habit that brings me there step by step and piece by piece. This is so obvious that it’s to easy to get started that you don’t, and that's ridiculous.

There’s different versions to this but it’s said to take 21 day’s to build up a new habit. If you can keep it up for three weeks the statistics will vote to you’re favor of continuing. So it’s possible to squeeze in 17 new habits in a year or the sane version of a new habit every month, 12 a year.

How do you think that would affect you’re life if you really picked important habits that would make a major impact in the quality of your life?

That’s how you become a world champion in your own life!

THAT’S HOW YOU BECOME A WORLD CHAMPION IN YOU’RE OWN LIFE !

Values and Goals

I just finished my morning routine and feel how much I have missed it. It’s been far to much to do in December so the mundane routines has got behind. And I like mundane routines because they are more important than the big accomplishments here and there. The Committed Consistency of your habits in regular day life is your life-standard!

I did my goal setting a couple of days before New Years Eve and the values was a process during the entire year. Now it feels really good to have that clarity and the confidence what I’m supposed to do and why. This is not to brag about me but I wanted to share this with you to encourage you to do the same. Do it in your own way and start to analyze you’re values and then set goals that’s congruent to the values.

Just make sure that your values are easy to follow in your life so you don’t compromise you’re mind, and then set you’re goals HARD and STRONG to feed the human need of growth.

The first time you do this it can be done in a few minutes, take a piece of paper and write down what’s important in your life. Then you set some goals towards those things and just do it. Then you start to work like this you begin a process that you probably want to repeat. Then it can be done with a coach or in a workshop and so on but first you have to appreciate the process. Then there’s many of us out there who teach and give seminars about it.

Good luck!
