“Personal Renewal”

The process of making me better than I am now

because of who I will to be later

© Lee Wise

First Thoughts…

This blog post is for encouragement and intentionally succinct.  The topic of personal renewal fills books and occupies the hearts of many.

Call yourself an attraction marketer, a work at home mom, just a dad beginning his day who stopped by the blog, a faith based individual opening his or her copy of what is viewed as a sacred writing, a full or part-time blogger, or a marketing funnel guru who stumbled by for a leisurely albeit an unplanned visit…

Personal renewal is necessary.

View my thoughts below as prompts for your thoughts, your ideas, and your actions for today — or tomorrow.

Lee’s Reflections…

• Renewal is necessary.
• I would say that renewal is “difficult with the discipline to do so.”
• Renewal should take on the personality, goals, aspirations and intended purposes of each unique individual. In other words, it is highly personal.  I may copy someone else for my benefit because I choose to do so but copying without allowing myself to adapt and “make it mine,” holds the potential of not being so good — at least in my opinion.
• Renewal is a process.  I do great, fair, bottom out and land somewhere in between according to the times and seasons of my life.

Questions For Growth…

• Where should my thoughts on personal renewal lead me right now? Where should they lead me today?
• Where do I find myself on the “personal renewal scale” — great, a bit stuck, in the middle somewhere, or ready to take cover in a single bound for fear of low flying emotional bird droppings on my already tender head, lol!?  Wherever “where do I find myself” is, what do I believe my next steps should be?
• How have I achieved personal renewal in the past?  Any insights I should share?  Patterns I should bring back to the surface of my life?

All The Very Best To You!

May you and those you love and care for enjoy a meaningful week!

Lee

One Month Of Comment Luv –

One Month Of Blessings

And A Big “Thank You!” To All!

This has been an interesting month: a blogging challenge month. And while I may relate more of the benefits in another post, I felt the more “personal side” of the challenge by going back and reading a number of the comments posted on my blog over the last 30 days.

My plan here is simple, although not without a small amount of apprehension on my part. Why? Because in this post I plan to:

• Share a number of the comments posted on my blog.
• And make my own comments about the comments at the end.

“Well, Lee, that’s simple. So why the anxiety?”

Answer: because I can’t quote everyone! You see, I truly mean it when I say that I appreciate the folks that have taking the time to drop by, read, and make thoughtful comments about what I have posted. For me, reading over the comments has been:

• Encouraging.
• Insightful.
• And meaningful.

Comment Luv And Comments About The Luv

I think what I will do is simply to share several posts with you and then make my comments afterword. Now, if you are a blogger and working through the whole idea of blogging for prospects and blogging as a part of “reflecting the real you” (branding yourself), then what I would do as you read down through this list would be to:

• Get out a notebook, pad of paper or create a document.
• Get into a “learn and grab” the ideas mode. And, I would suggest to aspects of this: (1) record the obvious ideas; and (2) record the ideas that touch your heart.
• Visit some of the days during the month of August — not so much to read my articles but to catch the quality comments that I have been fortunate enough to find left on this blog… and continue the process of idea gathering and listening to your heart.

Okay, Here We Go!

• Note: the links are those given by the posters at the time of their comments
• Any italics added are mine. Just highlighting various things that stand out. I may take one or two examples in another post of mine and “tear them apart” in terms of sharing with you what lessons I learned through reading them.

From Faith Barnard…

“Hello Lee,

This is a very extensive list of questions to pose to ourselves to truly reflect on our lives and the direction we choose for our lives.

What came through was balance and priorities. Through evaluating every aspect of our lives we can see our journey from a wider perspective.

Stepping back if you will and taking in our choices and our priorities. Giving us an important perspective to examine if there are areas that can be expanded and adjusted to mirror our hearts desires.

Thank you for this thought provoking post. What an amazing journey we are on. I look forward to your future posts as well.

Faith”

From Natasha Nassar

“Wow! Great post Lee! I love the part where you said:

“Can you influence someone by simply “letting it go” and building the relationship that way?”

That was the exact advice that I needed to hear- funny how it works that way, isn’t it?

Looking forward to reading more from you!

Natasha”

From Alicia

“I found this so helpful. Wish I had read it when I had my last business because as it grew to a full time job I found I was spending less and less time with my family. I let the love of my business define my self worth instead of my family. It was a learning experience and one I don’t want to happen again. I know better now.”

From Karen Wilson Wehrle

“My husband has a legally-blind aunt who’s almost 90. She’s such a sweetheart her family cast her out and she lived in a nearby state for most of her life. She outlived all her enemies and returned to her hometown five years ago.

What happened? She brought the remaining family together! She sees the good in everything and everyone. That’s such a powerful attraction that no one can resist her. We meet other family members as we visit with her, and we’re getting to know each other. What a gift she is to us all!

I just had to share that. And of course, I’m emulating her!”

From Mari-Lyn

“Thank you for the simple suggestions and reminder for us serial entrepreneurs, like me. I tweeted it out for you. It’s so important that I keep intouch with my personal as well as my business relationships.”

From Kelly Baadner

“Lee,
The only thing I want to say here is “PREACH IT!!!”.
I hope you “feel” my passinoate shout-out here!
I am sharing this post via FB & Twitter!
Kelly”

From John Zehr

“Great blog. Your commitment to service is evident. My first-born just left for college. I wish I’d read more books and blogs like yours before he left.”

From Sye Wells

“Lee, I love this post (as always, it’s my joy to read your content and share it) . I love how you carved time out to write in your gratitude journal. What if everyone had one? This is an powerful intentional choice and action, to decide to not just think about what we are grateful for, but to write it down and actually share it.

I have made it a part of my daily action plan, to write down and share with someone.. what I am grateful .. “right now”. Hey I think you are on to something… product.. “the Gratitude Journal”. xo Life is great! Sye-“

From Tracy Rissik

“Thanks for this thought-provoking article, Lee.

Hmmm…
Question Number One: What one small thing — anything – is (or could be if repeated over time) is holding me back from being my best today?
==> not taking proper breaks, so I get more tired more quickly

Question Number Two: What “something” — one small something — is hindering me in just one area of my life today?
==> not filing things!!!
(that one really resonated!)

Thanks!
Tracey”

Several Of My Lessons/My Responses

Good night! Can you see why I loved reading back through the responses over the past month?

Responding/Learning/Growing I Would Say…

• Check out the Heart Responses. Wow. What makes a great comment on a blog? Answer: one from the heart.
• Complimentary. In their own unique manner they were complimentary. Sincere, appreciative comments. What makes a great comment on a blog? Paying sincere compliments. Not trumped up. Sincere.
• Genuine Interaction. People thinking, responding, taking action, etc. What makes a great comment on a blog? Thoughtful interaction.
• Saying Who You Are in your business and in life. What makes a great comment on a blog? Sharing in such a way so that people want to visit your link, see what you are doing, or enter into dialogue with you.
• Sharing A Story from your life or from the life of someone you know, love, appreciate, etc. What makes a great comment on a blog? Answer: story telling!
• Sharing Good Ideas And Content. What makes a great comment on a blog? Think about it. Someone could read through just the comment I shared — let along the others that are there — and receive good tips, ideas, examples and advice on how to live better! So the answer is: short, well said comments that impart information, reveal skill sets or encourage others.

Time To Visit Your Heart

I have shared with you several ideas above relative to my reflections/lessons learned from reading over my commenters’ thoughts. Now what about you? I sincerely hope you took my advice and the ideas are flowing.

• What did you quickly catch? I mean, what immediately caught your attention as you read through the sample comments?
• What inspired you?
• What encouraged you?
• If I were to ask you: “Now, quick, give me your top 3 to 5 ideas gained or lessons learned about making significant comments on a blog” how would you respond?”

My Sincere Thanks!

Once again, I am very grateful for all the folks who stop have stopped by, shared and left a small part of themselves here on my site.

I’ve tried to learn myself about how to become a better blogger and how to become better at making quality comments on the blogs of other people by reading through all of the comments that have been left.

My Thanks also goes out to the following commenters in the month of August (in no particular order): Christina Leo, Heather Bestel, Jim Campbell, Evelyn Roberts Brooks, Larry Pollock, Martha Giffen, Stephanie Tanner, Marueen Wielansky, Kareem Williams, TeamCurtis Family, Judy H. Wright, David, Sheila Atwood, and Ligia.

A Brief Quote For Your Consideration

On Beauty Of Gratefulness

In the reality of being grateful

lies the beauty of not only seeing as we should

but in becoming the persons we should in the process.

Tweeting For Influence.
Tweeting For Excellence.

While reflecting on several thought provoking words that had just passed through my mental grid of the moment, I wrote the following:

“May our words bring healing, our thoughts peace, and our actions harmony. © Lee Wise”

I then…

• Read them again,
• Noted my “Yes, I like that!” response,
• Decided they were good enough to share,
• And sent them out as a Tweet.

Question: Why Did I Send Out That Tweet?

The answer to that question lies in the process found below:

• One: I found myself in a reflective mood.
• Two: My reflective mood led me to more of a creative writing mode.
• Three: The right words came at the right time. I felt what some might term “in the flow.”
• Four: I sensed a desire share what I wrote.
• Five: So I shared it!

Hold On, This Will Make Sense

I listed the five points above for the purpose of helping you “unpack” the meaning of what I will share with you in this brief article.

But for now the point that I wish to make is that in essence I shared my “content” not only because of the process named above but because it:

• Represented a segment of who Lee Wise is,
• And it allowed me to express my desire to influence people in a positive manner.

In other words, it provided for me a form of positive self expression for a very personal reason.

Said In Another Way…

• Who I was,
• And who I desired to become,
• Prompted me to fulfill in a very small way a purpose of mine.

In other words…

• I capitalized on my desires and talents (who I was),
• Seized the moment to develop my writing skills (who I desired to become),
• Felt that the words could influence someone in a positive manner (thereby fulfilling my purpose to be a positive influence in the world,
• And I sent out my Tweet.

“So, Lee: What’s This Got To Do With Me?”

Great question, and a relatively simple answer.

I wanted to prompt your thinking about deciding on purpose to express who you are through your Tweets while continuing by design to be positive influence in the world as you do.

You may be already doing that, I realize.  But then again you may not or you may not be where you might like to be.

I remain far from any sign that reads “Twitter Marketing Guru Here.”

Do I Tweet in an attempt promote various resources that could allow me to experience some level of financial gain?  Of course.  After all, I am an author, coach and consider myself to be an attraction marketer!

Which means, of course, that I Tweet in order to:

• Promote.
• Influence.
• And develop my skills as a writer.

But not necessarily in that order.  Quite honestly, the latter two dominate a great deal of my “mental Tweet time.”  (Am I the last and greatest example of Tweeting for influence or using the resource as a tool for developing personal excellence?  Of course not, but I try!)

Something To Think About…

I know this post will not capture the attention of many, many folks: it’s simply “not where they are.”

But I also feel that a few folks will identify with the basic concept of…

Utilizing a common tool for the purpose of enhancing their efforts to influence others in a positive way, in their own unique manner:

• Spurned on by their own motivation.
• Inspired by their own dreams.
• And challenged by the thought of “doing a bit more for a few more people.”

That’s It!

Should you feel that my simple post complemented a desire or your own or prompted some additional thoughts about giving to others from your heart, it would be neat to hear from you.

Three Life Affirming, Life Directing Questions

Common Components Of A Quality Life

It seems to me that a quality life is one that is driven by three components:

I must also discover and decide what is most valuable.  That’s based on truth of course.

And finally I must  love what is true and valuable.  That is, I commit myself in a whole-hearted fashion to the pursuit of that which is based on truth and which I value most in life.

How many hurt feelings and fights could be avoided if the truth was out in the open from the beginning.

I heard a story in church a number of years ago which illustrates this need.

It was said that a mom was correcting her child.  She had said, “I want you to know that if you come home early from school today again for getting in trouble you are  really going to get it.”

The child did return early and was disciplined immediately.  Following whatever form of discipline or correction had taken place, the question came:  ”So, what did you do this time? “

Then through tears the answer was given: “Nothing, mom. School was dismissed early.”

A sad story, but one that illustrates our need to understand the facts for the purpose of discerning what may or may not be true in a given situation.

What Is Most Important?

When I’m considering changing jobs, giving direction to my child, making serious health-related decisions, or any number of other “high level important stuff,” it is always helpful to know:

A real-life example?

Sure.  When my wife’s mom was dying of cancer she made a simple decision to  do as much as she could  to help her. She knew and accepted the truth: mom was dying.  In a matter of time the relationship here on earth would not continue.

She kept close contact with her (even from a distance), and at the right time went to spend time “just to help and do what I can.”

My wife understood the truth and she made a series of decisions based on her love for mom.  She factored in what was most valuable to her at that phase of her life…

And she acted.

Which leads us to the next point…

What Is My Level Of Commitment?

Once the facts are realized and accepted, and  the degree of importance is acknowledged, a good question to ask is…

What will I commit myself to do at this time in view of what I know to be true and valuable in this situation?

In other words, based on my assessment of the situation, what am I willing to do now?

Generally speaking, the higher my “value level” the greater my commitment will be.

Typically, the “I’ll do whatever it takes” decision is based on what I feel I can do and what I desire to take place with all my heart.

Continuing To Ask…

• Could you use one or more of the three simple, but not simplistic, questions to assist you in any way at in your business?  What about at home?
• How might you define what is valuable?  Have you listed your top values and decided to live by those?  Or, if this is a very easy question for you, could you assist others in helping them to identify their most cherished values?

_________________

And just supposing that your current situation finds you squarely on “the business side of life,” these questions may help in your personal development in that area.  Remember, this site is all about harnassing the power of purpose and self-development for attraction marketing excellence!

• When speaking with someone about your particular opportunity, how might you use one of these questions?
• As you plan, refine and think about developing your unique brand — or teach others to do so — how might these questions help?
• And what about designing your own marketing funnel?  Could these types of question help in any way as you plan ahead, thinking about your marketing strategy, etc?

Letting The Business Go
In Order To Welcome The Family In…
5 Tips For Balancing Life In The “Heart Zone”

You purposed to place your family first, decided to slow things down in order to hear your heart speak, listened to your heart regarding the needed time with those you love, and even developed an affirmation to help you along the way.

Super!

In the last of this series, allow me to share with you what I am calling…

Five Tips For Balancing Life In The “Heart Zone.”

One Word Reminders

1. Analyze
2. Acknowledge.
3. Create.
4. Listen.
5. Bring In The Joy

Analyze Your Patterns

Essentially, this is the time honored process of playing “I Spy” on yourself.  Allowing your purpose to continually push you in the right direction, you choose to…

Take note of your responses as they concern the family.

• Internal responses.
• External responses.
• And how they tie into each other.

You choose to see…

• What’s going on,
• Why it’s going that way,
• And if a pattern does in fact exist.

On Fridays do you find it difficult to mentally take part in anything “family” because you already began the process of seeing what needs to be done on Monday?

And what about dinner?  Is dinner a mental extension of work or a welcome break?

Do you consistently find it difficult to pay engage in whole hearted listening because of where your mind really is?  If so, is there a pattern?  And if you find one, why is that so?

The point: if you located a “heart tension” on any level that needs to be addressed, you simply must be alert to any patterns going on — inside and out — that may be observed.

And once you notice the tension spots on the playing field of your life, you must…

Acknowledge Any Failure

While in the “acknowledge any failure mode,” the effects of your failure must be noted.

• Not pleasant.
• Certainly not easy to accept.
• But failure and its effects must be noted.

You know I strive for balance in these types of “discussions,” so please allow me to state the obvious.

Should you be given over to being too critical of yourself and exaggerating the effects, you need to tone it down!

However, should you be in the process of embracing “the accept no responsibility mode,” that must stop.

In other words, seek to avoid over reacting on either side of the proverbial fence.

Next…

Create New Habit Patterns

Two simple principles here:

1. Support, reinforce and celebrate the good discoveries you noted.
2. Begin changing the “bad” discoveries you observed.

Just in case you traversed through any of my previous writings, after reading my next basic point you could find yourself saying, “Yep, that’s Lee.”

And here is that point.  When you think about changing those habit patterns, strive to make your progress based on:

What is doable.

That is, doable within the framework of your own lifestyle, personality, the season of life you are in, and your own unique set of gifts, challenge areas, and abilities.

Set yourself up for: (1) success; and (2) encouragement.

And to assist you in the process…

Listen To Your Spouse

Listen to what a loving spouse says to you directly… and indirectly.

The direct approach takes little personal brilliance to comprehend: “Lee, you’re the father and the children need a father this weekend.”

That’s what I call one of those “Duh factors!”

The indirect approach can be a slight bit more problematic as you know.  I know of no other way than to…

Work at listening with your heart,
And observing with the same.

• Emotions.
• Moods.
• Speech patterns.
• Body language.
• The whole non-verbal communicational shot.

But do make a concentrated effort to listen!

One more suggestion…

“Bring In The Joy” For All It’s Worth

When you are successful in any way, take notes: good, quality, life enhancing personal victory notations.

• Seize those.
• Capture the moments.
• Put them inside of you somehow.

So that you can review them later.

And then review it later!

Smiles, voice tone, hugs, “I’m glad I did that” thoughts, conversations..

Anything.

Just take note, “absorb” what you can, and continue to do so for the purpose of reinforcing the chosen direction of your life.

That’s It!

I hope this brief series proves to be an encouragement to you and those you love in the days ahead. Haven’t read the other to?  No problem.  The first in the series is here, and second may be found here.

Letting The Business Go
In Order To Welcome The Family In:
Speaking Of Purpose

Sitting next to a young professional at lunch you hear: “I know I need to be with my family — I mean to truly be with them — but I when I go out with them I struggle with ‘being there’ with them.  You know what I mean?”

And should I hear your honest reply, it may go something like this: “Yes.  I hear you.  I really hear you.”

The Tension Exists

Most any professional likely knows, feels and understands the internal pressures associated with:

The felt need “be there” in your heart when with loved ones — or scheduling to be with those you love;

And..

The felt need to “be there” in your heart in order to stay on top of your game in the professional world.

Honestly, I don’t know that I’ve ever met one person who handles these two pressures in a way that I would say about them “He or she has this down cold. Nailed it.  No problems for them.”

Certainly I can’t say that I do…but I can say that over years I hope those closest to my heart would at least give me a passing grade in that area of life.

Not perfect.

And certainly less than some “out there” (wherever “out there” might be.)

But at least passing.

With the disclaimer in its proper place, please allow me to share with several suggestions as they concern this very important arena of life.

This will be the first in a brief series, and I choose to begin here:

Make It Your Purpose

Let me ask you a question:

Do you love your family enough to make it your purpose to give them a good, solid place in your heart when compared to being a success in your business?

I assumed your answered “Yes.”

If not, then, just stop reading this article and go on to something else.

Seriously.

I say this because in my way of thinking your internal purpose will determine who wins the most number of matches in any playoff season.

Somewhere,

In some way,

You must release the one,

In order to give your heart to the other.

Call it being “in the flow,” “in the moment,” “fully present,” or by any other name you may think of…

When the game begins you must work at being there in your heart for your loved ones because you’ve chosen to do so as a priority in your life.

Purpose defines so many of the actions in our lives.

Please allow me to repeat something I stated just seconds ago:

Somewhere,

In some way,

You must release the one,

In order to give your heart to the other.

“Insights”

While at my daughter’s band concert, I begin the internal “rush” to solve the next issue relative to my professional development.

The “professional heart” just came in and my “dad heart” took the exit door located inside of my thought life.

My point: the whole matter centers around the heart and my purpose as to where I choose it to be at the moment.

My heart.

My purpose.

Two very, very critical words.

Balance

No, I do not even pretend to be one of those who would say in my example above that your mind cannot drift while at a band concert.

But should it drift far enough away that my daughter’s heart caught that my heart was not:

Looking at,

Listening to,

And affirming her as a person…

Then I lost that game.

Lose too many of those games and, well, you know the result.

One Simple Question

I am not “boat load of guilt” person.  In other words, laying tons of guilt on someone to bring about a supposedly great result.  As a person I am not there.  As a life coach I am not there.

The tensions regarding the various battles of our hearts remain constant and no one pat answer solves anything.

Therefore, from that perspective — realizing the many shades of life we find ourselves in at any one moment of our lives — allow me to ask the obvious:

Have you made it a heart issue to make your loved ones one of the highest purposes of your life?

If so, super.

Your heart will then lead you to any other questions.

And if not — if you can’t answer that way and for some reason you did not stop at the beginning of this article — I at least would hope that you will be able to at some point in time in your life.

Tips On Success: Have Fun!
© Lee Wise All rights reserved

You know this happens and you may have even “been there/done that” yourself:

• People dive into the process of being successful (personal growth or business)
• They may start by incorporating fun.
• But within a very short time, they realize it is hard work and the fun simply falls by the wayside.

Can you think of a “most successful person” in the world that seems to have fun?

I can: Oprah Winphrey.

Think seriously about this:

• She began with nothing.
• She became a multi-millionaire.
• She has fun and appears to love helping others enjoy life.

You may not be a millionaire… yet.

You may have more than you need… or less than you would like.

But one lesson you can take away from people you know who seem to have “made it and made it well” — whether rich or barely making it — they make enjoying life a priority.

They celebrate often.

They celebrate well.

Now What About You?

How could you enjoy and celebrate… today?

What would you need to do in order to create the “fun habit” in your life?

Be Sure To Share!

If you enjoyed these brief success thoughts on having fun in your life, please share them with others. Continue to be a positive force in your world of influence.

The Importance On Checking Out…
Before Checking In

(Living From The Center When We’re Not Quite There)

In this brief video I share several brief thoughts on the necessity of living from the center.

And whether we are addressing the subject of attraction marketing, self development, or simply living in the best way we can for the best reasons we choose to live, I consider this simple reminder to be vital for our own self growth as individuals.

It’s under three minutes long.  Listen.  Enjoy.  And then share.

Digging Deeper

As you think about such subjects as beginning the day in the right way, “living from the center,” or taking enough time to take the right time for the right things…

• What has been a success for you?
• How have you applied the simple thoughts from the video?
• Any insights you should share or record for yourself?
• And you know one thing I ask a lot: what about in your training or influence others… should you jot down some reminders to share with those you influence?

Now Go Ahead… And Share!

Please share this post with others if it has been a positive influence for you in any way!
