Seeds of Greatness

Take a Moment

Take a moment to listen today
to what your children are trying to say,
Listen to them, whatever you do
or they won't be there to listen to you.

Listen to their problems, listen to their needs
Praise their smallest triumphs, praise their littlest deeds;
Tolerate their chatter, amplify their laughter,
Find out what's the matter, find out what they're after.

If we tell our children all the bad in them we see,
They'll grow up exactly how we hoped they'd never be;
But if we tell our children we're so proud to wear their name,
They'll grow up believing that they're winners in the game.

So tell them that you love them every single night;
And though you scold them make sure you hold them
and tell them they're all right, "Good night, happy dreams,
Tomorrow's looking bright."

Take a moment to listen today to what
your children are trying to say
Listen to them whatever you do, and
They'll be there to listen to you.

What are five good reasons to join my team?

My mentor caught me off guard this morning. He asked me what are five good reasons you should join my team? I took a minute to think and then I started firing questions at him. I quickly realised that this was not about fire hosing you with heaps of information. I needed to know what you were looking for and how I could accommodate you with what you  want and need.
The art of communication
Immediately I began asking him questions about what your previous experiences were? I needed to know exactly what you were looking for so I could provide the answers if I had them.
My first question was about what your challenges were in professional network marketing? He said you had been involved with several companies and experienced moderate success. However the people you sponsored quit or did nothing.
His response made me think of the system we have to help people to grow into leaders. Our free personal development system encourages growth both within the individual and towards building their business. So quitting is like giving up on yourself and who wants to do that.
I then asked him how your system worked to build your business? He said that was one of  problems the companies you had didn’t really have a system.
This made me think of our easy three step recipe and duplicatable  system that anybody can use to build their business. So I filed this away to refer to later.
My next question was about what sort of training, mentoring and teaching that took place for your team? He said that people were encouraged to make a list and do presentations. This took time and many people complained about losing their friends and families.Or souring their relationship because they blamed them for failing.
This made me think of all the ongoing mentoring and interactive training we have to build our business globally on-line. There is no need to bother friends and families. In fact it works the other way. They want to know about what you are doing when they realise your success.
The next question I asked him was whether you were part of a mastermind group.  He said you worked with your  up-line and had three way calls together but that was the extent of it.
It made me think  our mastermind group approach and how that helped us all to grow.
So upon reflection what are the five good reasons for joining my team

1. We build leaders who build our business. This is done through free professional development.
2. We have a tried and true system that has created and continues to create amazing success stories.
3. Everybody is accountable through a free teaching and mentoring system to pay forward what you have learned for free.
4. We have an online-mlm system that uses cutting edge technology to recruit people world wide.
5. We use the mastermind approach to elevate everybody’s level of achievement.
6. We have a five pillar company that requires 400 repeat customers for you to earn $10 000 per month.

Love Yourself, Accept Yourself, Forgive Yourself [BLOG]:

“Love yourself—accept yourself—forgive yourself—and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.”―Leo F. Buscaglia 
You mean I am a source of many wonderful things?
Yes. Actually you are. Own up to it.
Leo has it right.

1. Love yourself.

Despite all the things that you think may be terribly wrong with you, love yourself. Love yourself.
Tattoo it on your brain.
I can think of so many reasons why you should love yourself, but here’s just one: It is incredibly dull and uninspiring to be around people who do not love themselves.
I spent many years being anorexic and feeling like I was a monster. I’m sure I was not much fun to be around and I also know that I didn’t book any of the acting jobs I was trying to land. It is very challenging to hire someone or love someone who fights you by holding up a mirror of hatred toward themselves.
Here’s my challenge for you today: Take a picture of your face and remember that in ten years time you will be amazed at how gorgeous you were. Be amazed now.
Identify something about you that you may not adore and find a way to at least laugh at it or like it, even a little bit.
I have profound hearing loss; in fact, I am almost deaf and wear hearing aids. I have ringing in my ears twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Does it drive me mad most days? Yes. However, it is here to stay, and I have learned that I can make light of it or sit home and feel sorry for myself because I am missing out on what feels like everything.
Either way the choice is mine to make. I have also learned that because of my hearing loss, my other senses are highly attuned. I am more compassionate because of it. I am a healer.
I have turned something I don’t necessarily “love” having into another piece in the puzzle of me, and part of why I love that puzzle.
Instead of thinking “I am an incomplete human being because I can’t hear perfectly,” I think “I am an incredible human being with a profound sense of touch and understanding and a huge capacity for love. I am also awesome at reading lips. So there.”
What can you love about yourself today that you may have struggled with before?
Can you find a way to cultivate the opposite? According to Pantajali’s Yoga Sutra 2.33, “When the mind is disturbed by improper thoughts constant pondering over the opposites is the remedy.”

2. Forgive yourself.

I lead a meditation in my workshops on forgiveness, and every time, without fail, people start crying. Almost everyone in the room will have at least shed a tear. This leads me to believe that we are all indeed connected, a union—which is what the word Yoga means.
The human experience is so similar, and yes, I know the details are vastly different, and that the devil lies in the details, but, we still share the same weight on our shoulders. That weight would be diminished if we chose to forgive instead of harboring guilt or anger.
People cry most in my workshops when we do the meditation on forgiving yourself. Most likely it’s because we are hardest on ourselves.
What can you forgive yourself for today?
I forgive myself for saying “I hate you” to my father right before he died when I was eight years old. I carried it around for many years and let it color my life a dark airless color.
I forgive myself for not being perfect.
This shift occurred was when I was finally able to let go of my eating disorder. We often hold ourselves to impossible standards and end up feeling bad.
Ask yourself honestly, “What can I forgive myself for?” 
Sometimes it takes simply saying it aloud or writing it down to realize that you actually no longer need to bear the brunt of it.

3. Be good to yourself. Do things that you inspire you daily.

Make a list. Grab your iPad or your notepad or even your hand and draw up a list of things you can do today to make you feel good.
Keep adding to the list. Forgive yourself if you skip a couple and love yourself no matter how long or short the list is and how much you accomplish on it.
You will not be graded or tested on this list.
My list involves a lot of laughing.  My “Feel Good” list also has: my yoga practice, teaching yoga classes, writing, a long leisurely dinner with friends, having a great glass of wine, staying up all night reading a book I cannot put down, being with kids who have special needs and teaching them yoga, poetry, Modern Family, Skype-ing with my nephews, and the list goes on.
Do something every single day that makes you feel good, whether it is changing your thought patterns or reading your favorite magazine in the bathtub.
Maybe it’s getting an extra hour of sleep or staying up late and watching Pretty Woman for the fiftieth time.
Pleasure and joy are highly underrated, and beating ourselves up, highly overrated. Flip it! Cultivate the opposite.
One of my main rules as a yoga teacher is that if you fall, you must laugh and take down your neighbor, which cultivates a sense of humor, and hopefully a little joy. You need at least a little joy daily. Sprinkle it on your cereal, slip it in your downward-facing dog, add it to your pinot noir.
Accept that you are indeed the source of many wonderful things. If you need help remembering what they are from time to time, keep making your feel-good lists. Keep coming back to the love that is inherently yours. It is your birthright.
Whatever it takes. Just do it.
A student told me after she returned from my July Ojai retreat that she wanted to live her life every day as if she was still on the retreat. And why shouldn’t she? What a revelation! What a revolution of the mind. 
Be good to yourself. You will train other people to do the same.
And guess what? If they aren’t good to you, you will still have your old standby who is always good to you: YOU. Pretty much what matters most at the end of the day. You being good to you. The rest will follow.
Remember the 90s En Vogue song with the lyrics “Free your mind, the rest will follow”?
It will. So get up and dance.
