Editor's Notes

  1. Not everyone can be the president, a billionaire, an Olympic athlete or the CEOBut everyone has the potential to learn and grow and become their best selves.We want to build on our DNA that we have been born with and reach our potentialWe want to discover and create a unique identity that we feel good aboutWe want to stand out from the crowd and be the best we can be
  2. From the examples we have just been through, you can now see that often a lot of what goes on to get results we are not even aware of – like the ice below the water of an iceberg.Look at the triangle modelFor you to change the results in your life, you need to change your behaviour,For you to change the behaviour in your life, you need to change your thoughts,For you to change the thoughts in your life, you need to change your feelings,For you to change the feelings in your life, you need to change your beliefs,For you to change the beliefs in your life, you need to change your decisions,For you to change the decision in your life, you need to change your interpretation of eventsThis process is about taking 100% responsibility for your life, your interpretations and your responsesTo go back to the example: Person 1 (victor) Person 2 (victim)Interpretation It’s ok, it can be fixed Its not ok, everything is messed upDecision Others will understand Others will not understandBelief I will catch up, make it up I will lose my job/credibilityFeelings Feel ok, glad Feel not ok(mad, sad, bad, fear)Thoughts I just need to make some calls I am never going to survive thisBehaviour Make some calls, get support Withdraw, angry, no communication, Results Get what you need People get angry with me, Refer to your own example of how you fell into victim mode and how you got out of it by realizing you had to change your own interpretation and take 100% responsibility
