Be different. Be better.
I remember going through school watching the “in-crowd” making fun of those who preferred to study than go out and play.
There still seem to be people who think they will be able to achieve all they desire by staying the same and refusing to change.
I ran across an old friend a long while back and he said, “yep, I’m the same as I was in high school.” And I thought, “how sad.” Tragic maybe.
I encourage everyone to never stop learning and growing. I certainly have a long way to go myself in this pursuit of excellence, personally and professionally.
I want to be better every day. By wanting that, I’m making a conscious decision to try new things, learn new things maybe even get rid of some old habits, attitudes and actions that have actually held me back.
NLP gives us the tools to change our state in an instant by changing our own sub-modalities, how we represent our reality inside our minds. It’s not that we didn’t have these abilities or “tools” before NLP, but it’s made us more aware of how to consciously change our own minds and maybe help others along the way.
Being excellent is a choice. So is being mediocre.
