The organization’s Patricia Forkan, who has attended International Whaling Commission meetings since 1973, spoke to the delegates and urged them to [...]
The great motivator Earl Nightingale came up with the following definition of success…
Success is the progressive realization of the goal you want to achieve.I like that definition very much! What does this definition mean to you? Let’s take a closer look at the worthy ideal part of it…
Spend a few minutes writing down what “worthy ideal” means to you. It is my vision of perfection…a vision of what I would ideally want & like things to be.It is a vision that I find inspiring and energizing!
If your success with guitar is totally dependant on working towards a worthy ideal, doesn’t it make sense that you first need to figure out what YOUR worthy ideal is? How can you progressively realize something if you don’t know what it is? How about we do some exercises to figure your one out…
You must invest a couple hours a day doing the following exercises. They will seriously help you build a mental picture of what your goal is in your head…
Exercise 1:
Imagine how would ideally like to play.Try to imagine what your electric guitar will look like, sound like, and feel like.What acoustic guitar are you a master of? How does your improvising sound? Are you getting better at it? What about your composing? Please write your answers down now.
Exercise 2:
I want you to imagine your ideal guitar playing career. Would you be a expert guitar teacher? What about a wonderful perforing artist? Or what about performing as part of a highly successful band? How about being an in demand studio guitarist? What do you TRULY want to do? Please write down your answers now.
Exercise 3:
Jot down your ideas for a worthy career in guitar playing. Write it down in the present tense, as if you have already achieved it.Try to make it into a one paragraph statement.
Exercise 4:
Invest 5 minutes every morning and night to read your worthy ideal. This will help you to stay motivated and focused on what you TRULY want.
Clarity is something that you must have. Without it you won’t be able to start developing an effective plan to work towards your worthy ideal.
You may find as you answer the questions that self-doubt starts to creep in. You may doubt whatever you right down will be possible or not! This is normal. Go on and write your answers down anyway. You don’t need to know right now how you will be able to achieve your goal. All you need to do is figure out WHAT it is.
You can improve your guitar skills. You only learn by doing.
This year the Blogathon.org site is back and in full swing. So get your fingers limber bloggers, and pick your charities and get ready to blog for 24 hours on July 25th. You can register on the BLOGATHON 2009 Website on July 1st. This year I will be raising funds for Richmond Animal Protection Agency . Big surprise. I plan to highlight some of the cats and animals that are helped by RAPS. (Although that may or may not be altered depending on time and content I can collect prior to the ev
Consider me a delinquent. I’ve been feeling rather ill lately and therefore less inclined to write, but I think I’m back up to 90% or so. Maybe even 95%. Last night I checked out the Sins Of The City tour with a few friends courtesy of the Vancouver Police Museum, so look for tons of very cool (and scandalous) photos later this evening. The rain is falling, the sky is gray and it’s most likely unanimous that we’d all rather be in bed. Instead, let me share with you a story… Once upon a t
Author : MIKE SELVON Being a pet owner is a wonderful opportunity to find unrequited love There is just something about owning a pet that can bring out the best, or worst, in people An animal is a huge responsibility and it is up to the pet owner to ensure that their animal is receiving quality medical care, food, water and attention When these situations are not being met then animal cruelty is the result It is a sad state of affairs when animals are not receiving the help and care that
Here’s Mark Morford’s piece on PETA’s fly-swatting fiasco. As usual, his writing is funny and perceptive and nuanced, except for his take on animal protection people, who he once again lumps into a single ‘hardcore’ crowd of “vegans, raw foodies, animal moralists, et al.” I enjoy Morford’s writing, even though he’s consistently clueless about how insulting he is towards people who want to eat compassionately. And I wonder why people who purchase factory farmed eggs never seem to be labeled
