Life Alignment – Positioning Yourself for Purposeful Living

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Sunday 16 December 2007 11:40 am

Properly aligning yourself internally and professionally fashion fulfill your purpose is most necessary in order for you to live your dreams and be fulfilled.

Life alignment is a topic rarely mentioned and pursued, but often indirectly talked about. For example the person who hates their job. They are obviously out of sync and sorts with themselves because professional they are misplaced according to their core values and primary purpose. Another common example is the person presently dating someone they “just aren’t into” all that much. Yet like the dissatisfied employee, they continue in the dull meaningless relationship for whatever reason.

Not everybody is willing to be brutally honest with themselves and make the hard decisions. Many prefer convenience over a challenge. That is to say the majority of society prefer to play it safe rather than to take risks and live their dreams. Taking risks means you might fail and incur some embarrassment. Not everyone is internally secure enough in themselves to endure some ridicule, laughter, and rejection from others.

Those of us however who are strong enough to make the hard decisions, take risks, and endure the comments and criticisms of others – we shall be more apt to wholeheartedly pursue our primary purpose, live our dreams, and find personal fulfillment.

They key is life alignment. Here are some critical steps to becoming rightly aligned in your life.
1. If you don’t feel it flee it. You must live with passion, without which you will never be successful. Any relationship or work your heart is not in, you don’t need to be in.

2. Listen to your heart and gut within rather than what the media, society, and friends & family are telling you. Trust your instincts and inner impressions.

3. List your core values in order of importance chocolate to what is most important to you in life. For me my core values are as follows: 1.love; 2.health; 3.joy & laughter; 4.personal growth; 5.spirituality; 6.challenge & adventure; 7.wealth; 8.contribution; 9.legacy; 10.fulfillment

As you begin listing your core values in order of importance, you will feel internal shifts and realignment occurring as you discover what values are of the utmost priority to you.

4. Once you discover your core values, hold to them without wavering. Don’t settle and compromise along the way in life when difficulties and challenges arise. Stay focused when assessing future relationships and employment to always see if such fits within your life plan based on your core values. Certainly relationally a person does not need to have the same core values as you. They must however support you in living your dreams and somehow facilitate you being fulfilled in these core values.

5. Set your intention to live according to your core values, wholeheartedly believing that when you dare to live your dreams the Creator of the universe will conspire to give you what you want. Expect sweet serendipity to kick in, cause divine interventions, and orchestrate dream fulfillment for you.

Be aligned with your true inner person to happily live your primary purpose. Now arise, throw caution to the wind, and be bold to live your dreams!

Goal Achievement – Five Lessons from Badwater, Part 2 of 2

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Wednesday 12 December 2007 11:40 am

Frank McKinney did his third Badwater extreme endurance event in July. Here are three more lessons that can be learnt from his grueling experience.

Lesson 3:

PERSISTENCE

You get nowhere in life without persistence. You will make mistakes and things will not go according to plan. This is inevitable and is perhaps the most important aspect of goal achievement because it is how you deal with your setbacks that will determine whether you are a winner or a loser.

I like Robert Allen’s way of looking at failure – as long as he is falling forward he’s happy. For Frank McKinney:

“Relentless forward motion was our mantra.”

There were several moments during the race where McKinney was in trouble. He got serious blisters. His feet become so swollen he had to customize his shoes – cut the front and sides off. He sprained his ankle. He was violently sick vomiting for 20 minutes and losing the nutrients his body so desperately needed to complete this ordeal and then he lost his appetite. At coco chanel stage he even began hallucinating, something he had not experienced in his previous ultra marathons. Despite all this he kept going.

He laughed, he cried, pounded his fists in frustration. He sang and danced and collapsed on the ground gossip he could go no further and somehow found the strength to rise again. He questioned the sanity of attempting to complete this race for a third time but he kept going.

At around mile 60 his brother Bob suggested “let’s set a goal of another mile and then we can take a break” to which McKinney responded, “my only goal is to put one foot in front of the other.”

And that is all that is asked of you. When the going gets tough just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Break your goal into smaller steps and celebrate each milestone you reach. You will find the strength and energy you need to achieve your goal.

Lesson 4:

ORGANIZATION

You have to have a plan. Nothing of any great measure is ever achieved without having a plan, without being organized and disciplined. You know what they say – fail to plan; plan to fail. Death Valley is breathtakingly beautiful and deadly. To survive in such an inhospitable environment you have to be prepared for any eventuality.

Without organization there’s chaos. With some goals, this may simply cost you time and may result in you losing out on some opportunities. In McKinney’s case it could have cost him his life. McKinney’s preparation included devising a detailed race plan and training schedule; organizing clothing; first aid equipment; foods; supplements; not just water but special fluids that would provide hydration for his body as well as much nutrients and energy that his body would be using up at an alarming rate during this event; ice and coolers; vehicles and more.

“Improve your organization; improve your results.”

Still all this would have been to no avail if he didn’t have an effective system to get supplies, etc. to him as and when he needed them. For this he needed a first-rate team.

Lesson 5:

TEAMWORK

No great goal was ever accomplished without teamwork. Teamwork goes hand in hand with organization. All the equipment and supplies that McKinney had would have been of no use if he did not have an efficient and cohesive team working with him. He needed a team where each member knew his or her role and performed their roles effectively and was also versatile enough to assist in other areas if the need arose. He needed a team that would support and encourage him when he was at the limits of his endurance.

When McKinney arrived in Death Valley only four out of seven crew members were able to participate of which only two had experience and neither of them were runners. Luckily, his team which included his wife, Nilsa, grew to five by the start of the race with a crew member driving seven hours to help fill in for those could not make it. Another, team member paced him for 50 miles! When you commit to doing something extraordinary others will follow suit.

There is also something special about the elite athletes who take part in Badwater. Yes, they want to perform at their best yet they are able to transcend the competitive spirit. McKinney offered encouragement to runners he passed and other runners, in particular, Marshall Ulrich, a veteran with 14 official Badwater finishes to his credit offered Mckinney his support and advice.

These runners ran their own race and still ran as a team.

There are several other lessons on goal achievement I learnt from McKinney’s experience of running an ultra marathon through Death Valley. I am grateful that I can learn these lessons without going through such a test of my mind, body and spirit. I hope this report has given you the inspiration to set and achieve challenging goals.
