At that precise time I sit on a stool on the rostrum and take out my knitting - the first five people to get the message and walk out the door would have their fee refunded.<br/>I love brussel sprouts.<br/>There comes a point where discipline = routine = treadmill. Have found my life to be sufficiently amazing by living by "Thy will be done" rather than "My will be done".

Having spent most of my life reading about eating plans, life plans, doing life coaching and all the rest, the real 'light bulb' moment came at one of your presentations when you said that nothing will change or be maintained without the right attitude and without discipline. (Can't remember the exact words but that was the gist) A bit 'Der Fred' you might say, but better late than never! It was a real turn around moment for me and while I'm still trying to develop discipline, I do have to thank you for pointing me in the right direction. <br/><br/>Thanks! <br/><br/>p.s. Loving the training - Phil is great!<br/>p.p.s Big hugs to our friend Darrell. Hope your doing ok Darrell. Hey Craig,

I think a positive attitude goes a long way as well. You are right though - people don't want to hear it. They think if they have paid me for an hour's session, I will be able to magically make them achieve their goals. What they don't realise is that ultimately the person that will allow this to happen is staring right back at them when they look in the mirror! <br/><br/>I really look forward to getting your blogs on email - at last a personal development site that tells it like it is! Love it!<br/><br/>Claire, UK TOTALLY agree – when I train people I always make a point of explaining to them at some point during their first session that discipline is the real key to success.

I think tapes, books, visualisation etc. can be valuable components on the journey, but the ONE component we can't do without is discipline - without it we won't create FOREVER results.<br/><br/>Thanks for your thoughts.
