The Triple Filter Test

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in
high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher
and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"

"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me
anything, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the
Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about
my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what
you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test.
The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what
you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's
true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of
goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend
something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something bad
about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass
the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of
usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to
be useful to me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is
neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?" 

Practical Ways to Avoid Burnout and Put Fun Back Into Your Life

 Amazingly, the National Institute of Mental Health in the United States reports that more than 20 million Americans suffer from chronic nervousness, panic attacks and phobias. With the fast pace of modern day society, people seem to have less time and more frustrations – even with all the technology that is supposed to make our lives easier!Here are four practical ways you can use in your every day life to avoid and overcome burnout:

1          Start your day with the powerful positive input of high-energy music.

Everyone enjoys different kinds of music so you need to use what YOU like.

Just be sure you start the day listening to the kind of high-energy music that gets you PUMPED! It could be rock and roll or country or jazz or pop or whatever makes you feel GREAT about yourself. It is important to start the day off with positive energy and enthusiasm in order to effectively tackle the challenges that you might encounter. If you put yourself in a good mood before you have to deal with problems you could be facing, it makes the frustration much easier to handle.

It is not always easy to “hit the ground running”, especially at the start of the day, but you will feel better about yourself both personally and professionally. Research has shown that people who use high energy music to start their day and before they face challenging situations have increased productivity by as much as 200%!

2          Do not allow mistakes to ruin you. Do everything you possibly can to fix

a problem with a client or associate in order to make them happy. After that, do not dwell on what went wrong, otherwise this can lead to decreased productivity and burnout. If you cannot get over something that went wrong in your life, remember this quote, “Do not blame yourself for past errors.

You are no longer the same person who made them and you cannot blame a person who does not exist.”

3          Get an “accountability partner” to help you stay focused. You can share

with this person your needs, fears and victories. An accountability partner is someone you can trust and feel comfortable enough with to just “be yourself”. You should meet with this person at least once a week to talk about your goals, progress, set-backs and thoughts on your personal and professional life. Your accountability partner keeps you on track and moving forward in all aspects of your development. The friendship and discussion you share with this person will help you to look at things objectively, understand yourself better and be more well-rounded.

NOTE: An accountability partner should be a person other than your spouse or significant other.

4          See the funny side of life – allow yourself to laugh and enjoy life

without being serious all the time. Laughter helps ease stress and bring mountains back down to mole hills where they belong. Learn to see humor in difficult situations. A good, hearty laugh is the best stress releaser of all. Give yourself and the people you work with a “laugh-a-day”. Put a “humor board” in your office. Have a designated bulletin board where anyone can post cartoons, jokes or even funny pictures. This gives everyone a chance to ease anxieties.

You can also use what can be called “comic memos”. This is where you attach a funny cartoon to the routine, sometimes boring memos or pieces of paperwork that have to be given out. Another idea for easing tension is to choose various people in the office to take turns telling a “joke of the day”. The more you laugh, the less you worry and the healthier you feel.

Are you as silly as a goose?

Lessons From Geese  5 facts / 5 lessons

FACT 1: As each goose flaps its wings it create an uplift for the birds that follow. By flying in formation the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.

Lesson 1: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other’s skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources.

FACT 2: When a goose falls out of formation it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.

Lesson 2: If we have as much sense as a goose we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.

FACT 3: When the lead goose tires, it rotates to the back of formation and another goose flies to the point position.

Lesson 3: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other’s skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources.

FACT 4: The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.

Lesson 4: We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one’s heart of core values and encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek.

FACT 5: When a goose gets sick wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.

Lesson 5: If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong. Author Unknown

My challenge for You: Determine how these lessons can be applied to your personal relationships, as well as your attitude towards life.

THE 10 THINGS in LIFE YOU CONTROL

There are just a few aspects of life that we can truly control, and it’s useful to know just what those areas are. If you don’t know, you’ll spend a lot of time blaming others for your own failings. Try and exert too much control in areas you shouldn’t and the universe will create some interesting ways to remind of your place.

So be prepared an learn the 10 things in life that you DO control:

1. What you do.

Your actions are yours alone. You choose to make them or not make them and you are responsible for the effects of those actions.

2. What you say.

Likewise, the words you speak (or write) are also consciously chosen. Like actions, they have an impact on your life and the lives of those you contact.

3. What you think.

Yes, there are some subconscious thoughts that you can’t control. But the things that you really think about, your beliefs, your ideals, etc. are concepts you have chosen to accept and believe in.

4. Your work.

Many people like are all things you can control, although some to a lesser degree (i.e., you decide to tolerate them or move someplace else).

8. Your fiscal situation.

Having or not having enough money is a factor of what you make versus what you spend.

9. Your time.

You choose how to “spend” your time and how much of your time to give to various activities. You’ll never get more time than the 24 hours your given each day.

10. Your legacy.

All your actions, words, and knowledge that you share while you are living become the gift that you leave when you are gone.

To Be or To Do – Part 1

While searching for messages relating to The Science of Getting Rich from various sites, I come across the following message which I find it complimentary to most self-help books and personal development courses which we have attended. This is a two part series and I will post the second part a few days later.

We are human BEING not human DOING. But most of us spend time to DO more than to BE. Life is a choice to be or to do, it is all up to each being to choose. Let me explain it more clearer…..

When we want/desire something in our live, We got 2 choices to get what we want. That’s to DO or to BE to get what we want.

(1) Most human being (95%) choose the way to accomplish/get their desires by DOING e.g.. If we want to get rich, so we normally just think about it and figure it out how to get rich or finding the right business or ideas or whatsoever to achieve our desire to get rich. From there we just use our energy by DOING in order to achieve/get rich. Our energy is one with Fear energy. Our doing is MOTIVATED with feeling of Fear. We hope that someway or somehow we will experience/get rich in the end. We spend most of our time by doing or working hard or struggling or manipulating or forcing, and we hope that the more we do it the more we will get what we want. We experience more problem and obstacle and hardship along the way. As our energy is in fear energy so we always attract only fear/bad energy in the form of people, situations, opportunities that match to our energy of fear.

Sometimes, we success and get what we want but we spend a lot of time, money and energy to get it. We may lost our health from working so hard or we don’t get inner satisfaction or happiness or peace that we expect to get from being rich.

Sometimes, we don’t success, so we think may be we need to work harder and harder and harder or finding the strategies or techniques by our limited conscious mind to get what we want. And what is that we want? Getting rich. Thats we called “working harder, not smarter.”

(2) Few human being (5%) choose the way to accomplish/get their desires by BEING. e.g.. If we want to get rich, we just think about it and imagine about it and feel about it for a while until we feel inner satisfaction of what is being/feeling like to be rich?. From there the energy urge/intuition/instinct within guide us to DO whatever that is to get/achieve our desire. Our doing is one with Love energy. Our Doing is INSPIRED with the energy of love; excitement, enthusiasm, joy, …. We always attract the love/good energy in the form of people, situation or opportunities. It seems many opportunities is opening up.

Everything seems in the right place and the right time. It seems we are in a lucky zone. So everything we do seem flowing with easily, effortlessly, joyously and successfully while we are on the way to get rich. That is called “working smarter, not harder”

Most successful business and world athletics always use BEING first to achieve their desire by visualization or inner energy work out before they start to Do whatever to achieve their goals.

What is different between the BEING or DOING?
The one who is BEING first is the one who is working out the inner energy so their vibrations is ONE with LOVE energy (flow with the creative power of universe). They do things later and their energy of doing flowing from being already achieved.

But the one who is DOING first is the one who is using energy in reverse from the flow of power of universe. They do things from the energy of hoping or leading to the state of being that they want to achieve.

Everything is a choice. Which choice we want to make depend on the answer of these questions….

Do we want to live life smarter or harder?

Let me sum up in one sentence if we want to live life intelligently and smartly on this planet earth:-)

“Whatever ye want/desire, seek ye first in the kingdom of god (within) and all these things shall be added unto you (without)“

Have a great weekend, stay tuned for Part 2 soon..

Ten Attitudes Of Top-Achievers

If you think the same way as the top achievers think, you can begin to get the same results they do. Here are
ten psychological and practical ways to mirror the attitudes of top-achievers.

See yourself as a consultant rather than a salesperson.

Believe that you are a problem-solver with regard to your product and how the client can best use it.

Become a doctor of selling. Act in the best interests of your “patients” and have a high code of ethics.

See yourself as the president of your own sales corporation. Accept 100 percent responsibility for your results.

Commit yourself to being the best in your field. Dedicate yourself to lifelong learning.

Be ambitious, hungry, and determined to use selling as a stepping-stone to the success you want in life.

Have integrity. Be honest with yourself and others. Engage in thorough preparation prior to every call.

Be an excellent listener; be extremely customer-focused. Have tremendous courage. Be willing to face your fears of

rejection and failure, and overcome them.

Be highly persistent. Start your workday earlier, work harder,  and stay longer.

To make these changes work you must walk, talk, and behave consistently with them every hour of every day.

How does love flow?

Some years back I was helping my relative to manage/run a retail shop. Every morning, I take the cash collected the day before to the bank.

I pass this building where a woman sits outside. She has been sitting there for at least the past 5 months.

She looked about 50 in age, but fit & strong.  She begs for money,as she smokes away.

I hate hearing  her same old stories about how her husband gambled all the money and her son who is ill now.
From the way she gazes out of the corner of her eyes, I know she must be cheating. She must be collecting all this money to gamble, for drugs, drink, etc.

I told myself, ‘NEVER give to someone like her.

One Sunday, my Tibetan Master was in town.

After a  session with him I told him about this woman’s story and my decision to not give her anything.

My master asked me the following questions:
1. What is my FIRST thought when I think of giving?

2. How am I so sure that she will gamble, drink or take drugs?

3. How do I know that her story about her husband and son is not real?

4. How do I know that she is healthy and strong enough to work?

… and more.

The next morning I went to look for her, but she was not there; her first absence  in 5 months!

“Was she arrested for cheating?…involved in an  accident?…her son passed away?…”
Such negative thoughts rushed through my mind.

She didn’t appear for the next 5 weeks!

I waited, waited, and waited… I asked  people working there about her; no one seemed to know her whereabouts or what’s become of her.
Then most unexpectedly on the 6th week, there she was, sitting at the same spot in the same way as if time had not elapsed,
begging  as she repeated the same sad stories.

I rushed forward to give her some money and  chatted with her.

I begin to understand more about what happen to her family.

From the corner of my eyes, I can see many people walking by with a look…
a look that seems so familiar,  for I too had once done the same.

ARE YOU WAITING FOR ONE OF LIFE’S LETHAL SNOWBALLS?

ACCOUNTABILITY = POWER TO CHANGEA Guru lectured the same sermon for 6 weeks consecutively. By the fifth week a special group gathered to challenge the Guru about his irritating repetitions. He replied “I’m glad you finally acknowledged it! I’m going to keep on preaching the same sermon every week until you get it!” Sometimes we simply choose to ignore life’s important messages, yet we wonder why the same events “keep happening to us” – “why me?”

“That which you resist, persists.” ~ The harder we fight or avoid it, the stronger it comes back to us. Problems are presented to us as a gift, and rather than attacking the “lessons” or avoiding the “relentless reminders”, we should pause. Embrace the “knocking” and be willing to explore the learning. By cutting through our barricade of resistance, we dig into what is on the other side ~ an awaiting gift to our greatest growth.

Escaping Accountability is probably one of the greatest causes of our problems. Being at cause (accountable) means claiming our birthright to using the inherent inner resources to improve our lives. Accountability empowers you with the choice to take charge of your feelings, thoughts and actions, regardless of what other people’s actions are, to truly experience life at a more meaningful level.

Avoiding accountability happens consciously or unconsciously. By not making a decision about something is a choice in itself. Listed below are some of our convenient ‘defences’, which I call the ‘10 Lethal Snowballs.’ If we fight or avoid it long enough, it will give us a rude awakening in life.

How Many Of These Can You Identify With:

1. “I Don’t Know.” Do you really don’t know or are you simply avoiding something?

2. “I Had No Choice.” Can one have their own choice in life without owning the consequences?

3. “I’ll Try.” “I’ll try to make it.” “I’ll try to give you by tomorrow.” Do you try or do you just do it?

4. “I Had No Control.” Do you have full control of your emotional buttons or can other people ‘remote control’ you? 

5. “If …..Then….” “If he does X then I’ll do Y.” Do you put conditions between yourself and your goals?

6. “It’s Not My Fault!” Can we be accountable for other people’s mishaps? What would happen if we do make it our business?

7. “It’s Not My Job.” Are you putting boundaries on your responsibilities so that you could stay within your comfort zone?

8. “I Can’t” Are you saying you can’t when you actually mean you won’t?

9. “That’s Just The Way I Am.” Are we doing the same thing everyday yet hoping to get  different results?

10. “I’ll Wait & See.” Do we get totally involved in life to get what we want or are we waiting for others to do their part first?

Are YOU don’t use any of the above ‘defences’ ?
