Donald Trump Lesson - Kick Ass and then Some

  • Now the fun part in my daily struggle to make myself better and a more developed and fulfilled human being…. I never thought would “love” this part - “ kicking ass”. Something I learned from reading Donald Trump’s book " Think Big" . Forgive yes, I would love to forgive, but I’d also love to teach the culprits a lesson. And me learn some lessons as well. This would just be a burst of cleansing and liberating energy spewing from repressed emotions for the sake of misplaced and cowardly civility. And the first ass I’m raring to kick is MINE. How could I be so naive as to allow myself to be in a clogged pit just so I’ll be politically correct and get along nicely with everybody else? I’ve done great injustice to my growth. Well, I’ll be correcting that starting yesterday.
  • I’m cut-and-pasting the following in this blog . I’m not trying to plagarise…just that it is so relevant to my situation now … a lesson learned. So ‘Thank you’, author-whoever-you are ( just got this from an email) :

“ Knowing all that you now know, does it still hold true that your manifestations are the average of the top 5 (or so) people you spend most of your time with?

As you began your journey, you were most probably like most normal people - those who observe what is and allow their thoughts to be a regurgitation of what you are observing. And so, if you are observing people, events, situations and circumstances and allow your thoughts to be a reaction to what you are observing, then it follows that your manifestations would only equal those of your predominant thoughts - what you are observing.

As you started to learn the basics of deliberate creation, you were encouraged to mingle with more successful people. Since you were then more convenient then with observing, rather than creating your own thoughts, that was the easier route to get you started on your path. Those who coached you were also hoping that you encounter those "successful ones" who were deliberate with their thoughts, thus deliberate in their creations, and thus be able to start to inspire you and give you belief that it is truly possible.

Now, knowing all that you know, it should no longer hold true that your manifestations be the average of the top 5 people you spend most of your time with, for you are no longer an observer, but rather you are now a deliberate creator. You now know that you may choose your thoughts, and thus freely choose the way you feel, independent of anything around you. You are no longer seeking to be inspired by the "successful ones", but rather you are the source of inspiration for those starting on their path.

Know it. Feel it. Claim it.

Be!

Oftentimes, many are afraid to teach others, share their wisdom or speak from their place of knowing. Many think, "how can I dare teach anything, as I am not as successful as those gurus". Many feel unskilled, inadequate, unworthy...

What they are failing to acknowledge is what the true value of a mentor or a coach is.

So, what is it? Is it the number of books you've read? The seminars you've attended? The certifications you've gotten? The measurable success you've had? Some say it's the number of lives you touched? Truth is, it's none of that.

The true value of a mentor/coach is... perspective.

If you are a point of consciousness that exists in this universe, then it is a given that you already have your own perspective, that is unique to all others. As long as you have your own unique perspective, you are of value to others. Every point of consciousness is worthy. If it was unworthy, then it would not exist!

If you allow yourself to share your unhindered, free-flowing perspective that comes from a place of true clarity, you will be amazed at how profound your perspective is to seeming others. You will be fascinated by how much you ideas, which seem commonsense to you, are so deep and helpful to those you share them with. But most of all, it is you who will be most astounded by your greatness that has always been with you... You just didn't know it was, until you started to share it.

Never allow yourself to feel unskilled, skill is not required. Never allow yourself to feel inadequate, you have all that you need. Never allow yourself to feel unworthy, you are always worthy.

Next time you start to feel that you doubt yourself, just ask yourself...

"Do I exist?"

Donald Trump in his book ‘Think Big’ has some take on this point . It goes like this – ‘when in doubt, believe in yourself’ . This should work too, even if it’s yourself you are doubting.

  • The following is for another topic altogether . But this is tangent to what I read and learned this morning. And found it worked in this particular incident this morning.

As I remember it goes like this :

If you like a situation -- be and feel happy about it. ( Which reminds me I should amplify my happiness vibrations , improve my ‘happiness quotient’- make that a goal this December, this holiday season ) ..

If you don’t like it, change it;

If you don’t like it and you can’t change it, avoid it;

If you don’t like it and you can’t change it, and you can’t avoid it, change your perspective about it. Turn it into your advantage. Make it a jumpboard for your improvement.

Worked like a charm this morning. Dang! It’s so easy! Why did I have to trash myself silly with my misplaced idealism and stubbornness/misplaced determination.
