  • The Power of Influence Part 6.
    Good morning. Good afternoon, wherever you are, we're talking at this in this podcast series today about the concept of the third universal law of nature and applying it in everyday life. The idea is that nothing's ever missing just changes in form. And you can use that law in an incredibly simple way to influence others. We've talked about the power of silence, we've talked about the power of listening. We've talked about the power of using less words to talk about the confidence of the smile. We talk about actually delivering less information. But giving information to people in the form of triggers, so that they can fill in the gaps. And those triggers, of course, are positive triggers. We've talked about behavior being a more important reflection of a person's intent than their thoughts. And we've talked about argument meaning the person who wins an argument usually loses life. So let's continue. The complementary piece of this puzzle is to remember to keep learning and never become complacent in your position. Anything that isn't growing is decaying. It's a stagnant pool. It's the opposite of the flowing formlessness that we talked about in the third universal law of nature.

  • The Power of Influence Part 5.
    Good morning, good afternoon, wherever you are, this is Chris. And we're continuing along the path of this third law, universal law of nature. Nothing is ever missing a just changes in form. And understanding the application of this law is really important. So what we're going to talk about today in this particular podcast is recreating yourself. Now, this is really powerful stuff, and it's very easy for those who've done the 12 discards on the 12 most important people we've encouraged this year in 23, for everybody to do. But not everybody is doing. So I understand it may be difficult for some people to understand what I'm about to talk about, in this universal law. The third universal law nothing's ever missing just changes in form, recreate yourself

  • The Power of Influence Part 4
    Good morning. Good afternoon, wherever you are, we're up to number four in this series talking about the third law of nature, the third universal law of nature. Nothing's ever missing just changes in form. And we're talking about influence how to influence another person, how to get our message across. What we've heard so far is that winning an argument is a loser's way that you if you want to succeed, don't succeed in winning arguments. People normally revert back to the original behavior, even if you do win the argument. So if our mission is to influence another person, what we've said in the last podcast is, it's very wise to behave in a way different to the way that they're behaving and prove by example, what you're trying to demonstrate. This is all backed up by research. behavioral studies have shown time and time again, that we don't just love a colorful anecdote. We far more likely to believe them. Then we have any statistical proof. So for example, if your friend gets mugged in a park, you'll avoid that park and experience a very negative association with the park. Whenever it's mentioned. You won't even bother to check the crime statistics to discover that this incidence of your friend being mugged is very rare. In fact, infants possibly small no will you give up riding your motorbike because of the stats on accidents? It takes a personal story or the death of a loved one on a bike for you to internalize that reality. In short, we're really good at rejecting information until it's turned into a visit vivid human drama. But let's not be black and white here. No doubt some people can be persuaded by logical argument alone. But all the same, they'll listen and need time to process and consider this change of heart. Because it will feel like a change of heart rather than a change of head. So you can only sow the seeds of this change before letting them go on their merry way. That's a risky strategy. However, as you'll need plenty of time in hand to monitor whether they're actually coming around to see your point of view. Better to tell them a story rich and color and personality. And and to tell it not as though your opinion but as though it's really really really proof evidence which convinced you by taking them along the same path. You become fellow travelers and already begin to see things from a shared perspective. The other side of or key to this law is to always remember that talk is cheap. From the enthusiastic investor you met at some event to your best buddy who said they'd go to the pictures with you this weekend. Everybody promises things, but very few deliver. Never rely on other people coming through for you. Words are wind. Don't let that wind fill your sails because soon enough you'll find yourself become an alone. In other words, don't let yourself be swept up. In the words of others.

  • The Power of Influence Part 3.
    I'm pretty sure you've heard the quote, actions speak louder than words. So following on from the last two podcasts on this topic of influence, and using the universal laws to be inspired in life, and to think inspired. We know that actions are what causes victory in any environment, not words. So what we said in the last podcast was say less than necessary. It also emphasized the need to keep your mouth shut to be most effective. But this principle of universal law number three, the law of interconnectedness goes a step further. And now you've taken the time from the last podcast to think about the idea of influence through suggestion rather than influence through blurting out vigorously everything you need to know. In other words, wearing your heart on your sleeve. We are ready to go and talk about action. Power is never a game which can be played alone. So we inevitably need to get other people involved in our plans and our vision and our purpose. This is usually more challenging than we'd like to believe at the outset because everyone is ultimately driven by their own interests, not ours. But it will also take more than a few elusive words clever arguments or even direct threats to draw that person's interest into line with yours was a simply not enough especially when most people speak with a bipolar nature. There are two types of people in the world. Those who try to win and those who try to win arguments. They're never the same person. Even if we exaggerate the person who arguments argues exaggerate to get effect they will not succeed. So in other words, winning does not involve winning an argument. In all walks of life, you will frequently be faced with the choice of being right or being successful. Now, this isn't about compromising your personal code or sense of honor. This is about putting aside your ego, and a child is urge to publicly win an argument. History is littered with stories of self righteous individuals who refuse to be practical when they could and they were petulant, instead. Perhaps the greatness is recognized after their death. Like some people, for example, who did things while they were alive, but their greatness was not realized until they were well gone. But wouldn't you rather be successful during your life rather than hoping somebody heaped praise on you, as they lowered the coffin into the ground or sent it into the crematorium? You must remember that trying to force someone to see things your way is an act of aggression. Which everyone besides those who get off on being dominant dominated, will resent you for. So what if someone holds religious views that you don't, that you find absolutely absurd? You don't agree with them? Or what if they support a politician you find a barn? If you want to have influence over that person, you'll never find it by belittling their views or making them feel stupid. Think of all the times you felt you had to make a point because someone else was just being too stupid for for word. Did they actually ever concede the argument and even if they did? What did that get you beyond a momentary ego boost?

  • The Power of Influence - Inspired Thinking Part 2.
    Good morning, and good afternoon, wherever you are, as Chris and there's good reason you open this particular podcast you know, there is but chances are, you're not entirely comfortable admitting to yourself what it is. So we talk about inspire thinking and we talk about aligning that inspired thinking with our work and with our relationship. And bringing home the spirit of the mountains. I think there's always going to be some degree of conflict by disturbing thought that it's destabilizing to our identity. Sometimes we prefer to remain peacefully asleep at the wheel of our life. But things come up and eventually we have to face the music. So perhaps you want to become fully inspired in your life. And maybe the conflict between that and what other people think you should be and shouldn't be, and the, you know, escaping the daily grind and the concept of taking a risk to step outside. What you know as the comfortable zone is haunting you a little bit. Maybe you're just tired of finding yourself, the victim of other people's games and being tossed around around by powerplays at work that you don't realize are happening until it's too late. But whatever your situation, there's a lot of knowledge. And there's a lot of psychology and insults and insights hanging around the world for you to sort through to sort out your questions. What is inspiration and do I really want it? There are five universal laws and there are 1000s of laws that come from those laws and there are 1000s of aspects of life. So to embrace this might feel like you have to have a radical overhaul of everything that's going on. It can seem from time to time overwhelming, impractical or just impossible to put those laws into practice. And so you you you take the coaching you take the inner wealth work you've done, you take everything, put it back on the shelf and you go I wonder if there's an easy way and I respect that because I probably did that myself. You have to choose the right time and space and you have to be able to use the laws well. So when we talk about the sharpened sword, you know, it's great to sharpen your sword but you have to be mature and wise enough to know when to use it.

  • love and its many different ways
    You can see a person who has an AVO held against them claim that they love the one they can’t let go of…. Love is a twisted knife… unconscious or conscious love are so different but rarely do we stop to explore the impact of confusion

    It comes to us all. Something or someone we love leaves or is ripped from our soul. It’s a defining moment. How we deal with it reveals our consciousness. The same consciousness that drives our work…
