Comments on: Your Turn to Motivate Me… http://www.craigharper.com.au/motivation-inspiration/your-turn-to-motivate-me/ Personal Development Life Lessons Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:43:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Jules http://www.craigharper.com.au/motivation-inspiration/your-turn-to-motivate-me/#comment-10234 Jules Wed, 31 Dec 2008 04:23:00 +0000 http://www.craigharper.com.au/news/your-turn-to-motivate-me/#comment-10234 You said we can keep adding to this, right?<br/><br/>The loud-and-cheeky Jules has turned into a book worm (totally loving being able to read for me and not for a 'dumb' uni essay). I'm reading Sheer Will at the moment - an autobiography of Australia's Michael Groom, mountaineer... inspired by the lovely Cherie Horne - Mountain Girl (Hi Cherie - you're totally amazing). I bought it for Dad 6yrs ago but I haven't read it.<br/><br/>Have got a few gems from this book already:<br/><br/>'Descend the mountain the same way as you came up, unles you are familiar with the other descent route.'<br/>--> My interpetation of this being: if something has worked for you, keep doing that.<br/><br/>'Learn from the best.'<br/>--> stop fluffing around trying to achieve the outcomes you want in your world through your own trial and error. Find an expert to help guide you.<br/><br/>'No matter how good a climber you think you are, there always has been and always will be someone who can climb better than you.'<br/>--> Stop comparing yourself with others (Jules - that includes YOU!). Set your own standards and benchmarks and assess your progress against those. Life aint an Olympic sport - no Gold medals are awarded for 'best paramedic', 'best blogger' ;) Focus on being the best YOU can be and be happy with that. You said we can keep adding to this, right?

Have got a few gems from this book already:

'Descend the mountain the same way as you came up, unles you are familiar with the other descent route.'
–> My interpetation of this being: if something has worked for you, keep doing that.

'Learn from the best.'
–> stop fluffing around trying to achieve the outcomes you want in your world through your own trial and error. Find an expert to help guide you.

'No matter how good a climber you think you are, there always has been and always will be someone who can climb better than you.'

This is mine which I read to myself quite a bit….

"Today I will go on living my life & tending to my routines.
I will decide, as often as I need to, to stop obsessing about whatever is bothering me.
If I don't feel like letting go of something, I will "Act as if" I've let go of it until my feelings match my behaviour"

Something I read recently which is so true & hit home for me "Without love we are birds with broken wings"

Have a great day Craig!!!
