Unleash Your Potential

The Top Ten Secrets Highly Successful People Know That You May Not
Each newsletter will reveal another secret

Secret #1: Be the Source, Not the Seeker.

People seek many things. Some people seek love, money, respect, a higher level position, recognition or a meaningful relationship. Who you are being either repels opportunities or creates them.  Seekers chase what they desire. Being the seeker sends out an indirect message that you are not enough; not enough knowledge, not enough experience, or not enough talent. When you believe that you do not have something, insincere actions may follow. Some of the actions you might take include saying and doing things that you do not mean in order to attain a higher position, spending money you do not have to make an impression on a potential partner, or not doing your best on a project because your REAL intention is to gain recognition, rather than to do a fabulous job. Do you really think these thoughts and actions will get you the thing you desire in a sustainable way? Others can feel your motivations.

So what will get you those things you desire? What is the difference between being the source and being the seeker? While the seeker is in a state of seeking or chasing what they want, the source person is more like a lighthouse, attracting the opportunities to them. In other words, the seeker seeks; the source is sought after! Although all people have desires, source people KNOW they have all of the inner resources to achieve what they want.  The source person’s self image is one that portrays confidence in their talent, experience, skills and ability to learn and grow.   They “come from” a different place, a different state of being. These are the people others see as leaders. Opportunities come to them. They do not chase opportunities, they attract them.

What can be done to create a reSOURCEful corporate culture? Leaders must develop, empower, listen to, recognize and value the inner resources of their employees. What happens when an organization is filled with seekers? The organization itself becomes a seeker, constantly looking for that new product, or service that will save it, or bring it to the next level instead of realizing the secret to its success is in their “inner” resources!

Question: Who do you have to become in order to have the things you seek? How can you ATTRACT those things you seek, rather than chase them?

Challenge Yourself : This month, pay attention to your motivations. Are they sincere?

Ask the coach:

Lynn, I am so busy. I travel, have a family, and a full time job. I am not in the shape I want to be in and my energy is low. I’d like to begin working out again but don’t have the time. Can you help me? Thanks.

Sincerely, F.D.

Many people come to coaching wanting to feel healthier and begin an exercise routine. Making the time is only a small part of the solution. Although there are several parts to this solution, the most effective is to raise your energy level. Time is a fixed commodity. Energy is limitless. This requires evaluating what in your life is energy giving and what is energy draining. As you incorporate more energy giving things and let go of energy suckers (including people), time will free up, energy levels will rise, and better, more conscious decisions will be made.

If you’d like to ask the coach a question, send an email to Lynn at lynn@designstogrow.com. All names will be made confidential.
