I watched a clip by Les Brown yesterday that was amazing. Success Magazine has an amazing promo CD/DVD. I had heard Mr. Brown was great but my studies had been limited on his seminars.
There are 3 types of people 1)those who are successful, 2)those who are not (basically give up and become victims) and those who have not arrived, 3)they have achieved success at a level that many people would consider great, but inside they know that they are searching to become more.
These are they who sit in seminars thirsting for more pieces of the puzzle of the person they strive to become. . .
They set and achieve goals but know there is still more music left in them to sing. . .
They serve and are about a great work but know they can create more to give back. . .
When they sit down to take notes they sense a higher self sits with them and they look for ways to reach higher and actualize. . .
These are the greats, these are the great potentials waiting to bring the world the value that they have been uniquely gifted with.
It is strange that even learning has a zone, an area of sweetness when what I learn has a unifying connecting thread, and I know that what I am learning is on a more efficient level.
As I listened to a leadership training by John C. Maxwell the previous night I realized there are 3 types of learners as well, 1)those who are ignorant, they don't know what they don't know, 2)those who are learn-ed, they know it already, and 3)those who are on a continuous path of learning. They thirst for more knowledge and are humble enough to keep looking. I believe there is a tie in.
This is key for those who feel less then those who have "arrived". For those who feel uncomfortable about approaching the "great" ones. . .
Remember-
There really are only 3 learners and 3 people. Those who are ignorant, those who are learned or have arrived (falsely) and are not on the same journey and are not approachable anyway. Those who are still in the pursuit and on the purpose of "pouring into" others and adding value. The courage should come from the perspective that if they are still on the journey of learning they are still on the journey of service.
How is all this related. When you have the opportunity to ask someone who is where you want to go in the future, who is manifesting in the present what you want to in the future, where you are drawn to:
-Have some questions in mind and ask with confidence. An actualized person's favorite subject is there life purpose. It is there passion, there is invaluable amounts of information and vision provoking "nuggets" that can help guide your path.
-Interview and once a month take someone great out to eat. Everyone needs to eat.
-Just a warning, check your ego at the door, if you are too busy talking about what you've done and believe then you might miss invaluable time learning. Not that big of a deal, remember you have two ears one mouth keep this ratio in mind as you go forward.
