Welcome to My Potent Mind
 How we learn about our mind
Everybody has a life, but it doesn’t come with a User’s Guide, and there are very few Life Teachers to help us with it. We learn important things about the world that our life is set in, from our parents, friends, schools and universities, in a reasonably structured way. But we learn what we can do with our life, and how to get the most out of it, by a mixture of copying others, and trial and error.
User’s Guide - Machines
Even the simplest, most intuitive home appliance comes with information on how to get the most out of it. People seldom read this information at first, but as soon as they come across a problem or issue with the appliance, they consult it.
The User Guide usually gives a collection of safety statements so that you don’t damage yourself or your appliance, basic and advanced functional, how to do type instructions, a trouble shooting guide, and where to go to if you still have a problem.
User’s Guide – Your Mind
Your life is far more complex than any home appliance, or even than the most advanced computer system driven device available in the world. Your life has an infinite number of possibilities for it’s use, but it doesn’t have a User’s Guide. It would be impossible to give you ‘how to’ type instructions for every task you may become involved with.
Principles of Operation
This User Guide website is rather designed to give you some guidance on principles of operation for your life. Principles which can then be used or applied to any life situation, and principles which, when practiced, will result in a flow of desirable things into your life, and success with the things you want to achieve.
New Born Baby
I have come to realize that World famous athletes, astronauts, international personalities who have really made a difference in our world, you and I, all started out exactly the same, as new born babies, loaded with potential. We all have deep reservoirs of talent and ability within us.
Think about the last time there was a major world sports event running. It could be the Olympic games or a World Cup sports event. You see on your television screens over that period, sights and more importantly interviews with young people – People with little life experience in terms of years, who were all born just the same as you and I. As you delve deeper into the pages of this site, You will be able to judge if the Olympic and sports heroes that you listen to have understood and used the information you will find here, to achieve their success. I’m sure you will realise that their use of these ideas was a major factor in making them winners.
Exciting Journey
You are just starting on one of the most exciting journeys you could get involved with. This site is, I believe, one of the most effective personal development programs in the world today. It has been designed and is evolving to help you realize your dreams, live the life that you really want to live. Just like every baby, when you and I were born, we were naturally wide open to the incredible possibilities of the world. We had no limitations, we were free to step out and do everything we wanted to do.
You
This site is based around a training program that I run called "My Powerful Mind" but the most important thing it is about, is YOU. Throughout the site you will see a structured set of ideas that will develop you as a person, and hand in hand with that personal development will develop your financial world, your world of relationships, your work and home life, and any other area of your being that you wish to improve.
What makes Success
What are the things that make someone successful in a particular area. Let’s think about people that are rich, but it could equally as well be people who are enjoying good, positive, loving supporting relationships with their partners, or who are climbing rapidly up the ladder of success at their work, or any other area where people are gaining fulfilment.
Is it Environment or Location?
It is not about environment, because if it was all the people in a certain area, or certain suburb would become wealthy. That doesn’t happen, we see rich people and poor people living side by side, in the same environment and often doing the same sort of work, or in the same sort of business.
Is it Talent?
It is not just talent, for we see people with great talent who are poor all their lives, and others who have little talent but are wealthy.
Is it Saving?
It is not the result of saving well – some poor people save every cent they can, while some rich people give away a fortune every year.
Is it Training or Education?
It is not just training or education. I have seen people with similar backgrounds, training and education attend the same training session, and one really takes it and makes something of it, and to another it makes no difference.
It is true that some aspects of environment help – I am not suggesting that you can have a successful ice cream business by setting it up at the north pole. Being in business involves dealing with people so it is best to have some people around where you go into business. But that is about as much as environment has to do with it.
If anyone can, you can
If anyone in your city or region can be wealthy, then you can as well.
Any Business
Also it doesn’t matter what the nature of the business is – People get rich in every sort of business there is, and others go bankrupt in the same business. It is true that you will do better in a business that you like, and that you will do better if your business is in a suitable area for that business. I don’t suggest you try Salmon farming in the Caribbean, where there are no salmon. But apart from these sorts of limitations, getting rich or being successful is not dependent on the type of business or work you chose to do.
Certain Way
Rather it depends on the certain way that you go about it. I have studied successful people in many areas of life, and in general they are a pretty average lot. But they do order their lives in a certain way. Furthermore the results they get are directly caused by the way they order their lives, and anyone who orders their lives in that certain way gets the same success. This is an exact science that can be verified and replicated by experiment.
Motivation and education
I have come to the conclusion that the two main elements in a successful, fulfilled life are motivation and education. With that you then take some wise decisions, and some intelligent actions which lead to a fulfilled life. The fact that you are looking here shows that you have motivation, and are looking for some more education. What you are looking for is right here in these pages.
Comfort Zone
Some people want to improve, which is great, this website will help. However many people have fallen into a comfort zone. They have money in the bank, a good job, a warm safe house and everything going fine.
Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs describes the basic needs as physiological – food and water, then safety – shelter and peace, then Love – being part of groups, then esteem, having recognition from others. And finally Self- Actualization – understanding yourself.
The comfort zone usually happens in one of the top two levels. People think that that is fine to sit in their comfort zone, it doesn’t hurt and sometimes it even feels good to be there, but beware that if you are in a comfort zone, you have a problem. The problem is that if we stop stretching and risking we also stop growing. If someone is like that, they have settled for what they are today. That means that they are all they will ever be. The danger of a comfort zone is that it doesn’t hurt, and it might even feel good. Many take that to mean that it is a good place to be, but it is not. Your Comfort zone can be the thing that holds you back from real growth, real accomplishment and your exciting and rewarding future.
Growing or Dying
I believe that if we are not going in one direction we must be going in another direction. You are either growing and developing or disintegrating and dying. Whenever we hear a person say I like it just the way it is, we know that person is advertising their ignorance of a very basic law of life, because absolutely nothing stays the way it is.
