It is written that we are transformed by the renewing of our mind.
How often should we renew our mind? Daily.
Many of the leading men and women who speak and write of their own journey of how they went often from rags to riches, at least the ones who have stayed at the top of their game, agree that to really renew our minds we need to commit at least one hour a day to improving our mind.
Where can we renew our mind? Everywhere.
There is no one way to transform ourselves. Even a simple Amazon search on Mind Training will come up books from various perspectives such as: sales and training; traditional primary school education; sports motivation; Christian; Buddhist; and Hindu amongst many more. So whether our style of learning leans more to auditory or verbal linguistic or musical there are strategies for everyone. A tried and true method is to combine the styles. For example when driving in the car put on a CD, at home watch a DVD or on the laptop search for videos on youtube. Some famous Christian pastors who have created some wonderful books or DVD’s on this topic are Joyce Meyer with products such as ‘Battlefield of the Mind’, or Phil Baker iwth ‘Thinking For a Change’. More well known in the secular world who also have a strong faith are Zig Ziglar and Jim Rohn. From a Buddhist perspective the Dalai Lama has some amazing resources such as ‘A Flash of Lightning in the Dark’ where he explains compassion is the key to gaining enlightenment. Another popular example of mind training is the Silva Training Method. Network marketing has a fantastic track record of prmoting products which develop our minds. One CD which teaches us to get off the negative tracks and change to the positive tracks is ‘The Brain Train’. Paul Scheele of Learning Strategies also some some fantastic products such as the book ‘Natural Brilliance’ which looks at the way we learnt as children and gives us strategies to return to that simplistic way of learning. The Emotional Freedom Technique has many practitioners who work on clearing blockages to open the flow of abundance in our lives. For our favourite and to open the flow of prosperity – see here.
With any success we need to change our thinking. One of the poular ways to establish a reputation is to create your own products especially in internet marketing.

How do we control our mind and begin to train it?
The commonality perhaps all of these is being aware of our thoughts and learning to control them.
Some strategies such as with Eastern meditation teach us to empty our mind, let the thoughts come and go until we are totally in the moment. Christian meditation goes one step further rather just emptying our minds, the goal is to focus on the awesomeness of our creator, God. This could be via numerous strategies such as meditating on a flower – pondering it’s beauty or meditating on a scripture. One technique is to stress each word to really get a revelation of the scripture such as
BE still and know I am God
Be STILL and know I am God.
Be still AND know I am God.
Be still and KNOW I am God.
Be still and know I am God.
Be still and know I AM God.
Be still and know I am GOD.
To be success in any area of our lives we need to renew our minds regularly. The real question is what are you successful at? If you sit around all day blaming others for your perceived misfortune then you are successful at that. Why not choose to be successful at being an upright person of integrity who prospers in all areas of your life and understands that we are blessed to enable us to bless others?
If a company wants to go beyond mediocrity, then on a corporate level the major need is to improve the cohesiveness of the organisation. Working together for a common goal. Only then will the company truly prosper in the longer term. An essential element of this is to respect each member of the organisation. The company needs to have a commitment to quality service.
