Enjoy the Coffee

A group of alumni, well settled in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about the stress at work and in their lives. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal. While some were plain looking others were expensive and exquisite. The professor asked the group to help themselves to the hot coffee. When the students were holding the cups in their hands, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the expensive and nice looking cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.” The professor went on to say, “It is quiet normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is the source of your problems and stress. Now, what all of you really wanted was the coffee and not the cup. You consciously went for the best cups and were noticing each other's. Now if life is coffee, then jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn’t change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

So, don't let the cup drive you... instead enjoy the coffee

Flat Tire Story

This story can be used during contradiction analysis to help people articulate problems not in terms of solutions. One day a car was driving down a deserted road out in the middle of no. where, when suddenly it had a flat tire, the passengers got out, opened the trunk, and discovered to their dismay that there were no jacks. They decided they needed a jack to change the tire, so they started off on foot down the road to try and find a gas station in order to borrow a jack. A couple of minutes later, another car came down the deserted road. Suddenly, it too had a flat tire. The passengers got out of the car, opened the trunk, and discovered there was no jack. They thought a while and decided they needed to find a way to lift the car, so that they could change the tire. They looked all around and found a big rock and a log. Using the rock and the log, they lifted up the side of the car and changed the tire. So while the passengers of the first car were still walking down the road looking for a gas station, the second car had already changed its tire and was continuing along to its destination. Why was it that the passengers of the second car resolved the problem of the flat tire first? Answer: - The difference is the way each group named the problem. The first group named it in terms of the solution- no jack. Thus, their only option for a solution was to get a jack. The second group named the problem as having no way to lift the car. They, therefore, had many possible options for finding a way to lift the car, not only one. Moral of the Story: - Solution depends on how you define the problem. Try defining it in different ways to get solution.

You Are What You Believe

You Are What You Believe

The most important quality you can ever develop is having belief in yourself. The belief that you can, without a shadow of a doubt achieve success in every area of your life.

Virtually every person has the capacity to do wonderful things with his or her life. But the greatest single obstacle for most people is self-doubt. Many people wish they could accomplish certain things but lack the belief that they can actually do it.
When people under achieve in any part of their life, it is their beliefs more than anything else that hold them back. Self-limiting beliefs act as breaks on our ability to achieve our goals. Many of us have high hopes, dreams, and aspirations, but we let doubts creep in and undermine our talents, abilities, and effectiveness.
Each one of us has feelings of inferiority because we feel that we are not good enough. We think that we are not as good as other people, and we feel that we are not good enough to acquire and enjoy the things we want in life. Often we feel that we don’t deserve good things. Even if we work hard and have some achievements in our life, we often feel that we are not really entitled to our successes.
The Universal Law of Belief says that whatever we believe, with feeling becomes our reality. We don’t believe what we see; instead, we see what we believe. Our beliefs form a screen as to how we see the world, and we never allow any information that is not consistent with our beliefs to pass through it. Even if we have beliefs that are totally inconsistent with reality, we won’t let them through because our beliefs have become true for us.
The most common and also the most harmful beliefs are the ones that are self-limiting. These are beliefs about you. For example, believing that you can’t achieve something because you don’t have enough money or education. You might believe you can’t achieve something because you are the wrong sex, race, age, or it is because of the economy. Most of these beliefs are not true, but they will hold you back nonetheless.
The fact is that you deserve every good thing that you are capable of acquiring through the use of your talents.
The only real limitation on what you can be and have is if you lack the desire. If you set a goal and want to achieve it badly enough, nothing in the world can stop you from achieving it, as long as you’re willing to persist long and hard enough.
To develop positive beliefs, you have to decide exactly where you want to end up in the future. The clearer you are about the result you want in your future, the easier it will be for you to change your actions and behaviors in the short term. This in turn, will assure that you achieve what you want in the long term.
Once you’ve clearly decided on the type of person you want to be, you will have already taken a major first step in developing new beliefs. In order to incorporate your new beliefs into your every day life, you have to discipline yourself to act exactly in every situation as if you already were that person. When you begin to act like the successful person you want to become, you will actually adopt their values, qualities, and characteristics. And they will then become a permanent part of your personality.
If you consistently act like the person you want to become every day and in every situation it will begin a chain reaction. Your attitude will change and become more positive. This will then build stronger and more positive beliefs. And your beliefs will then, exert a positive influence on your values.
You have no limitations on your potential except for those that you believe you have. Successful people are not extraordinary or special in any way. They are not different from you or me. But, all successful people do have the unwavering belief that they can accomplish anything that they really want in life. You are a good person. From this day forward, see yourself as the very best you can be, and refuse to accept any limitations on your possibilities. Once you develop that belief in yourself, and you act in accordance with your beliefs, your future will be unlimited.
