“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

And A 30 Day Blogging Challenge

Taking in the announcement on Facebook for the 30 Day Blogging Challenge that they would begin soon —  in addition to a similar announcement from the Ultimate Blog Challenge — I decided to dive in for the month of August and attempt to post at least once a day for a 30 day period of time. Yes, I joined both of them since they were taking place during the same time frame.  No, I did not shoot for completing 60 posts!

My Bottom Line — Even Before I Post My Reflections On The Process

• Interested in taking part in a blogging challenge and have an interest in blogging?  Then do it!
• Seriously — that’s my bottom line.  I totally enjoyed the process and should you: (1) desire to learn; (2) be challenged to keep on a schedule; and (3) have an interest in connecting with others — then dive in!
• My experience was both challenging and meaningful — and continues to be so.

Reflections On What I Gained From The Process: It’s Value To Me

• One of the most significant “takeaways” from the 30 day blogging process for me was — and is — the continual clarification process relative to establishing my online presence.  I remember reflecting to my wife: “Ya know, I really enjoy this blogging process.  It is helping me clarify the direction I would like to head at this time” (i.e. in my ongoing growth as an internet marketer).  In current terminology, I was developing more of “Me Incorporated.” I love to write and to write in a way that I hope will influence others in positive — and maybe even lasting — ways.  For me, this process is huge — as in big, lol!
• I enjoyed meeting other good people in the process.  Simply put: there are a lot of good people “out there” in the internet world!  You learn and grow through reading the posts of others, from comments to your blog, and through visiting and commenting on their blogs.
• I realized more traffic to my blog during the month.
• The process also pointed out for me the obvious: the need to learn more.  That’s not surprising, since life is in reality on learning curve after another as we go through various stages, correct?
• The challenge to blog each day also reinforced my desire to keep improving as a writer.
• I learned more about making quality comments on blogs — especially from reading the comments made by others on my blog!  In fact, I wrote a post on people commenting on various posts.

Ongoing Challenges…

• The challenge to continue learning the blogging process.  And for me that would be the continual growth as an internet marketer, life coach, author and someone who continually asks the question “How can I use what I am finding that I love to do — i.e. blogging — for the purpose of complementing my desire to progress in the best ways possible for my life at this time?”
• The challenge of how to continue to locate other targeted blogs to comment on and manage the time and effort it takes to do so.  Even though I’ve see some training on this, it remains a definite challenge.

All Done!

In brief, I remain very grateful for the process.  Thanks Faith and Michele for creating the opportunities for helping others learn, connect and grow in the blogging process!

Vince Lombardi

On What It Takes To Be A Success

The three minute inspirational movie below shares Vince Lombardi’s keys to success with vintage photos, Lombardi quotes, and audio segments from Lombardi giving his famous speech “What It Takes To Be Number One.”

I received this email today from Simple Truths (yes, I am an affiliate in case you are wondering) reminding me regarding the opening of the NFL season and in the email was this clip.  I thought: “Sure, I’ll take a look at that.”  Which I did, of course, and decided to share it here as well.

The clip contains quite an array of short quotes covering such subjects as the following.

• Wisdom
• Truth
• Excellence
• Results
• Passion
• Habit
• Mental Toughness
• Discipline

You know of my love for quotes! And, whether or not you will agree with every aspect of every quote, there’s enough packed within the video to definitely start one thinking.

For instance, we could ask ourselves…

• “What would we say, or write, about the topics in that bulleted list above?”
• “How would we tie those ideas into our personal lives or business efforts?”
• “How might we prioritize the list?”
• “If we had to make a top ten value list to live by, how many of those would be on the list?”

Of course, in thinking about the power of one person’s influence, I couldn’t resist trying to put something in print, and here it is:

Here Ya Go… Enjoy The Clip!

And Your Impressions Were?

Assuming that you took a time out for the purpose of catching Lombardi’s thoughts, what positive thoughts do you have?

• For instance, in your thoughts about success, what would you add to the list?
• Would you combine any of the thoughts.
• And what about your journal?  Would anything rise to surface long enough to be placed in your journal?

Motivational Thoughts On Self Growth

We understand that in our personal lives, in our busineses, in our homes, or even in our our volunteer efforts, the idea of maintaining a stance of personal self growth is important.

My purpose here is not to share 10 great ideas for personal self growth that you don’t know already — although sharing 10 ideas on the subject would be a most worthwhile effort. My purpose is purely motivational.

As you have no doubt guessed, I am challenged in my own self development to keep on creating brief, meaningful writings in the self development arena of life: with a special interest in the art of creating quotes.

With that in mind, here’s a quote for your consideration today:

Self Growth

Striving to manage well who I am

for the purpose of becoming

well more of who I desire to be.

© Lee Wise

Continuing The Thought Process…

Regarding the quote above:

• What aspects come to mind when you think of “managing well” our self growth?
• Could the quote be used in a training session, posted on your blog, sent in an email or shared in any other manner that would fit your purposes?
• In my first question above, if two or three thoughts came to mind relative to “managing well” your own self growth and development, would it be good for you to respond in any way to the ideas that came to mind?
• If you were to journal your responses to the images, ideas, memories or stories that came to mind as a result of reflecting on my brief quote, what might you enter in your journal today?
• Reflecting on the idea of self growth during your younger years, what part did the concept play — or not play — and should you happen to be a parent does that say anything to you today?

As Special Thanks For Reading This Post — 50% Off

You probably realize that I have created an ebook — basically, a self-development ebook — for folks on the business side of life so-to-speak. It’s called Stay Motivated! An Inspirational Handbook For Attraction Marketers. You can click that for more information.

At any rate, if in glancing around you like what you are seeing in terms of my writing, I would like to make you a special offer. Should you visit the link and decide you may like the book, as a bonus for reading this post, I would like to offer you a 50% Discount off the price of my book. How long will this be offered? Honestly I am not sure, lol! For sure for another 10 days. Beyond that, no guarantees.

Is there a “catch” in this? Nope, just an offer. I am highly biased and feel that many people could benefit from the contents of the book and I want to “get the word out” as they say. Well, one catch I guess: just don’t send out the email and address for people who have not read my post! Get them here first!!

Just send me an email here: writeleewise(at)gmail(dot)com. No, this is not an autoresponder and it does not put you on a list! In the subject line put: “Give me the discount!” I will then return some instructions and a code to you for your use to receive the discount.

Questions For Excellence…

Our Observing People Skills

Excellence For Business.

Excellence For Life.

Continuing this brief series, these were my observations from an excellent article on The Coaching Mindset by Kendall Silva. I have these posted directly by my computer to use for motivation, inspiration and ongoing skill development.

Once again, I feel these questions may help whether you are:

• A life coach.
• An attraction marketer.
• An educator.
• An mlm trainer of others.
• A blogger.
• Or an individual committed to personal growth for any number of reasons.

My Question For You Today…

“How Can I Increase My ‘Observe People’ Skills Today?”

Think about it:

• You could be going to the doctor’s office (as I will be in a few short hours) and during that time you could just simple say to yourself “I’m going take a few minutes ‘just to observe.’ I will be a learner.”
• What could you learn about people — in short “chunks” of time — that would increase your skills in the area of learning from, listening to, enjoying, or helping out people? As yesterday’s post was on taking advantage of the power of story, maybe the two could be combined in some way: i.e. not only listening to someone’s story that you prompted by also increasing in your “people observation skills” in the process.
• You could learn by segmenting. I used to share with the men in my class to do this: you create a “filter” for the day and watch people according to the filter you create. For instance, one example I gave them was: “Watch dads today in church. Just pay attention to what they do, don’t do, need to do, etc. Whatever: you create what you desire to focus on.”

Your Turn!

• Reflect on the examples I gave above… and expand on those thoughts. Take them into your world of parenting, network marketing, personal relationships, training, preaching, teaching… whatever. You are creative!
• In what you already know about people, suppose you were to create an article, post or a teaching session of some sort on “The Top Two Affirming Characteristics I’ve Seen In People”: what would you list? What might you write on? How could you inspire, encourage or be a positive influence in the world through what you have observed and what you would write?
• Could your observations be the beginning of a “how to” article, blog post, slide presentation or a short video?

A Brief Quote To Consider

On Learning From Others

We learn that we may become better people:

for it is in the art of becoming

that we contribute to our world,

ourselves, and all we seek to influence.

May we become all we can for the purpose of

helping others do the same.

© Lee Wise

• Should you happen to be facing any level of discouragement, do you need to take note of the small victories in your life at this time?  Maybe record them in your journal, post several of them around for you to see during the day, or simply see them as something to be grateful for?
• If I were to ask you, what small steps to success in your business or life journey have you taken that could be of a benefit for others to know, could you list them?  Should you list them?
• What small “victory step” could you begin tomorrow?  Maybe begin the first post in a blog with a goal attached to it: like making one post a day for the next month?  Or, making it “an encouragement day” for someone by encouraging them in one small, yet meaningful, manner?  Or a “learn something new in only five or ten minutes” time tomorrow that could help?
• Is there one small step you have not taken that you know you need to take at this time and you have not done so?
  

Time To Visit Your Heart

You might expect that as a life coach with a pastoral training background,  I might deliver your way inquiries such as these about now:

• In reviewing what we have talked about, do you hear your heart ’saying’ anything to at this time concerning what we have interacted about?
• Thinking about what we have reviewed, would you say that you are giving yourself enough credit at this stage in our life relative to your small successes, or is there some other obstacle (small or large) hindering your success right now that should be considered?
• Since you are a parent, let me ask you: are you celebrating in the small successes in the lives of your children — no matter what their age may be?
• Okay, I know you see the importance of small success steps and liked what you read, so what step would you be willing to design and take by this time next week?
