Use this mantra to be the victor of life’s tests. – REPLAY

Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us.
The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor.
– Tammy S. Ernst

Tammy Ernst sounds like she trained at the same martial arts school as me. This quote from Tammy is very similar to the “mantra” we stated at the beginning and end of each class in our dojo.

Shiken haramitsu daikoumyo

This sacred Buddhist mantra in Japanese is taught and used by all members of the Bujinkan Dojo. The meaning as explained by my Sensei when I started the training was:

“In every encounter or experience in life, we have the chance to gain total enlightenment. It’s up to us to determine if those experiences are positive or negative.”

This phrase became my mantra for life. This is how I like to look at the experiences I have in life. I try to look at all of them as positive as I can.

You can see how Tammy’s quote is so similar.

Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor.

We choose whether we will be better or bitter. We choose to let our experiences break us or make us. We choose to be the Victim or the Victor. It’s a tough choice for some, easy for many. Unfortunately, most people choose to be the Victim. They choose to let the tough life experiences break them, they choose to be bitter.

What do you choose? Are you a Victim or a Victor? Are you going to let life’s experiences break you or make you? Will you choose bitterness or Betterness!

Join me in choosing to be a Victor. Join me in letting life Make Us into what we want to be, Better!

S2-E40 – Who do you think you are? No really? Take This Personality Test.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
~~ Bruce Lee

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

Don’t go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself. . . .

Who Do You Think You Are? Who are you? What is it to be yourself?

About three years ago, I started wondering who I was, or more specifically I was looking for what my calling was. I wasn’t happy with my current career choice. I had worked in the field for many years but wasn’t feeling it any more. I had actually changed careers from that career about 5 years earlier, but went back into it after the mortgage crash.

I had left IT and Enterprise Content Management and went into a sales role as a Loan Officer. I loved it, but the mortgage crash dashed that career.

At the end of that run, I also purchased a Coffee News franchise. I became a publisher of “Good News” and sold advertising to local businesses. I loved it, too.

While doing these two careers I started attending Business Networking International (BNI) and learned how to network.

I joined and worked in the local Chambers of Commerce. I loved it. I loved to network with the local business and community leaders. I loved helping businesses grow and build their business and networks.

Unfortunately, the economy that was driven by the real estate and building market in the local areas I worked went down considerably and that business failed as well.

I was unable to pay the bills, unable to afford insurance, etc. I found a part-time job working at a local grocery store bakery for a couple years and work my way to a Bakery Manager position. I always strive to be my best and excel. I couldn’t just be a bakery clerk. But, this wasn’t what I wanted to do forever.

I started looking for something with my prior experience and skills that could bring in a good salary. I was offered a position in the field I had left before in Enterprise Content Management in Lending and moved to California.

After a couple years I realized I wasn’t happy doing this. It paid well. I was well respected among my peers, but I just didn’t enjoy it anymore. I wasn’t feeling like I was making an impact. I wasn’t feeling satisfied or significant.

I heard about and then read Jeff Goins‘ book, The Art Of Work. Jeff said to think about what you were doing when you were the happiest in your life. What were you doing when you loved going to work or what did you do when you weren’t at work that made you the happiest?

Pick up Jeff’s book here:

GoalGettingBook.com / Audible

I sat down one day when I went for an early morning walk in the East Bay hills near my house, which I loved to do. I started thinking about when i was happiest. I realized it was when i was when I was doing these things:

meeting new people
marketing
business networking
working with and building communities online and offline
speaking at events
training people
motivating others to reach and achieve their goals
social media
writing

I joined a new Toastmasters club our company started so I could improve my public speaking and start meeting new people in the company.

I started taking marketing and social media classes at UC Berkeley Extension. I decided I wanted to start working towards a career in marketing, social media, public speaking.

I realized that the type of career that would work well for what I wanted to do, what I wanted to be, what would make me happy and satisfied was something in the line of Community Management. I started researching and learning.

This was who I was. This is what would make me happy.

Really? How did I know?

This has been a long discourse to get to the point of this podcast episode, which is to talk about “Who Do You Think You Are?” If, as Bruce Lee says, you should “be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself” then shouldn’t you know who you really are?

How the heck do you do that?

I started by doing what Jeff Goins suggested.

I did find my dream job as a Community Manager. One of the great benefits of our company is that they value their employees. One of the benefits is they often allow us to take personality tests. Yes, there are personality tests. I’ve taken a few over the years, but I never really took the results and looked at what they meant. They are developed to give you an idea of the strengths and weaknesses you have based on your personality. YOUR PERSONALITY, not someone else’s. As Bruce said, “don’t look for a successful personality and duplicate……”

There are several of these types of tests:

Gallup StrengthsFinder
Myers-Briggs
DISC
16 Personalities
and more. . . .

We have been given the opportunity to take a couple of these this year and I have been amazingly surprised how accurate they are. I took the Gallup StrengthsFinder and the 16 Personalities tests.

Gallup StrengthsFinder

The StrengthsFinder Test cost a few dollars to take, but it is well worth it. There are 34 Themes in this test. We signed up for the Top 5 Themes test that shows your 5 themes that define the majority of your personality.

My top 5 are:

Strategic
Activator
Self-Assurance
Significance
Futuristic

These are my most dominant themes of the 34 the test shows. These are very important. The program also puts together an Action Plan for you to maximize these strengths.

To help show what this means, here are the top 2 of 5:

Strategic
The Strategic theme enables you to sort through the clutter and find the best route. It is not a skill that can be taught. It is a distinct way of thinking, a special perspective on the world at large. This perspective allows you to see patterns where others simply see complexity. Mindful of these patterns, you play out alternative scenarios, always asking, “What if this happened? Okay, well what if this happened?” This recurring question helps you see around the next corner. There you can evaluate accurately the potential obstacles.

Guided by where you see each path leading, you start to make selections. You discard the paths that lead nowhere. You discard the paths that lead straight into resistance. You discard the paths that lead into a fog of confusion. You cull and make selections until you arrive at the chosen path—your strategy. Armed with your strategy, you strike forward. This is your Strategic theme at work: “What if?” Select. Strike.

Activator
“When can we start?” This is a recurring question in your life. You are impatient for action. You may concede that analysis has its uses or that debate and discussion can occasionally yield some valuable insights, but deep down you know that only action is real. Only action can make things happen. Only action leads to performance.

Once a decision is made, you cannot not act. Others may worry that “there are still some things we don’t know,” but this doesn’t seem to slow you. If the decision has been made to go across town, you know that the fastest way to get there is to go . .

16 Personalities

When I took the 16 Personalities test, which is FREE, I find I am an ENFJ – The Protagonist. You can learn what each personality is and the characteristics of each. Like the StrengthsFinders test, I found the 16 Personalities test to be pretty accurate.

Here are a couple of points from this test that I feel describe me:

ENFJs are genuine, caring people who talk the talk and walk the walk, and nothing makes them happier than leading the charge, uniting and motivating their team with infectious enthusiasm.

Charismatic – Charm and popularity are qualities ENFJs have in spades. They instinctively know how to capture an audience, and pick up on mood and motivation in ways that allow them to communicate with reason, emotion, passion, restraint – whatever the situation calls for. Talented imitators, ENFJs are able to shift their tone and manner to reflect the needs of the audience, while still maintaining their own voice.
Altruistic – Uniting these qualities is ENFJs’ unyielding desire to do good in and for their communities, be it in their own home or the global stage. Warm and selfless, ENFJs genuinely believe that if they can just bring people together, they can do a world of good.
Natural Leaders – More than seeking authority themselves, ENFJs often end up in leadership roles at the request of others, cheered on by the many admirers of their strong personality and positive vision.

Very interesting, and I have to agree they are fairly accurate as well. Essentially both tests say the same things about my personality. If you look at these traits and characteristics of my personality and the things that made me the happiest when I was doing them, you can see why.

It is me. It is who I am.

What’s the point of all of this? It’s to understand what Bruce Lee is said, AND it is to understand YOU.

If you want to be successful at your career, if you want to live a happy, satisfied, fulfilling life, then you need to be you. You need to be yourself, express yourself and have faith in yourself.

Find your calling. If you are in your calling, live it with passion. Find these personality strengths and take the action needed to use them for your life.

I have a career now doing what I am. I am a Community Manager for the company I work for. I am a Podcaster, helping people set and achieve their goals. I help people take action and Get The Goals They Set.

I am the happiest I’ve been in a long time doing what I love and what I am.

Are You? Take one or many of these tests if you haven’t. Be honest when taking them. Find out who you really are and then set your goals to be what you are. If your goals are not in alignment with who you are, then you will have the hardest time achieving them. Your subconscious mind will work to sabotage you. Don’t let your mind play goalie for the other team!

S2-E39 – See the positive in negative events . . . Joel Osteen

You’re going to go through tough times – that’s life. But I say, ‘Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.’
See the positive in negative events.
Joel Osteen

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

Hi fellow Goal Getter. I appreciate you listening to the show. I really apologize for the delays in getting back to the show. I am going through some challenges and changes in my life at the moment and I have allowed it to affect my thoughts and my attitude. I am a positive person and do my best to keep myself and other thinking positive and keeping our motivation going so we can achieve our goals.

I am going to start a series on Positive Thinking Quotes. I think it is important to think positively. To be positive. But don’t get me wrong. I don’t believe that positive thinking alone will be what it takes to achieve our goals. Reading and quoting positive thoughts won’t get you farther. It will help keep us motivated and inspired and help you remember your Why.

And it’s certainly makes us feel better to be positive than to be negative, right?

The power of positive thinking is powerful. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote the great book, The Power of Positive Thinking. I highly recommend it. I read it so many time when I was young. I remember after the first time I read it, I told my minister I was excited about the idea. I remember standing on the front steps of our church after a Sunday service and him saying, “Tony, thinking positive is a bad thing. You need to be realistic.”

I was amazed with this statement. This was my last Sunday at this church. I couldn’t believe that a preacher, a man of God would not believe in the power of positive thinking. God wants us to be positive and to believe in ourselves. I did not believe that this man spoke for God.

We are going to go through tough times at points in our lives. We are going to experience stress, sadness, and issues. However, as Joel Osteen, another man that speaks for God, says above, these tough times are happening to you but for you. It is a learning experience. Like, failure, which is a tough time for most of us, we should see these in a positive light. What can we learn from it? What does it teach us? How does it help us toward our feelings. Are we going to let it strengthen us or defeat us?

See the positive in the negative events in your life and you will grow.

S2-E38 – Leadership is not genetic. Leaders are made not born.

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born – that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
~ Warren G. Bennis

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

Thank you, Mr. Bennis. Warren G. Bennis was a scholar and renowned author on leadership. Perhaps one of the the founders and forerunners of the modern leadership movement, Warren Bennis has debunked the myth that leaders are born. That cannot be farther from the truth.

As, Mr. Bennis said, the thought that people are born with leadership skills, that it’s part of genetics is total nonsense, a myth.

Leaders are made. Leaders learn skills as leadership itself is a skill. Many people with upbringings that are less than stellar, with ancestors that were far from leaders have made great leaders.

They learned the skills necessary to lead and then applied those skills. Charisma is not necessarily a genetic trait. Many people learn the science and mechanics to understand life and people and then take that into their mental thought processes and become that person. That leader.

This thought, I believe, stems from the male-dominated business environments of the past where they believed that only men were capable of being leaders. Therefore, they had the genetic makeup required to be leaders. Well, we all know this is bunk. Let’s face it, there have been many great leaders that have been women. There genetic makeup had nothing to do with it.

Don’t let this old myth stop you from striving to be a good leader. Learn what makes a good leader. Then strive to be a great leader.

Go Out Today and Learn to Be a Great Leader, Then Be A Great Leader

Thank you for listening to Goal Getting Podcast. I am going through some transitions in life. As I do this I started thinking about my original goal for the podcast. The original goal was to provide tips, strategies and inspiration to Goal Getters. I had originally set the podcast up as a weekly edition with then intent of sharing the lessons of my Goal Achievement Success System and to interview expert guests that has achieved success in areas of their life that you Goal Getters might be working on yourself.

I started an experiment in July of last year providing the Goal Getting Quote of the Day. It was well received and I had a lot of you start following me because of that addition. The frequency went from 1 day a week to 7 days a week, with one day being the Weekly lesson, interview.

With my career change in September, which you may remember was a goal I had set and achieved 2 years sooner than I expected, my schedule has gotten busier at work. I took a winter break to start Season 2 which would be longer segments focusing on a quote and a longer lesson to go along with that quote. I wanted to keep the podcast down to less than 20 minutes.

With the new transition and the increased workload at the office and my #WorkOnWellness goal I am committed to, I realize that I must go back to the original plan of the podcast.

I will be reverting back to the original one show per week beginning in May. I will do three days this week and next, I hope. That is my goal for the next two weeks.

I hope you understand and will continue to support Goal Getting Podcast. Let me know what you think.

S2-E37 – Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If the window won’t open. . .

Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window – Or break down a door.
~ Brooke Shields

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

A better thought has not been said. Life is too short to be unhappy for a minute. Don’t waste your life, your time, on being unhappy. It is up to you to determine your happiness. If you aren’t happy in a situation, you can choose to be happy or remove the unhappiness.

As Brooke Shields says, if one window closes, run to the next window. Our life has many windows. We just have to be prepared to run to the next and then the next. Don’t just stare out the same window if it’s a window to unhappiness. The view will likely be better elsewhere.

What’s more, her further statement is even greater. Just break down a door. When you are unhappy, it is sometimes better to knock down the door to get out of one room or to get into the next room. Don’t be afraid to be assertive. If the door won’t won’t open for you, knock it down.

With the new transition and the increased workload at the office and my #WorkOnWellness goal I am committed to, I realize that I must go back to the original plan of the podcast.

I will be reverting back to the original one show per week beginning in May. I will do three days this week and next, I hope. That is my goal for the next two weeks.

S2-E36 – People fail when they quit becoming.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
~Anais Nin

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

The thought that life is becoming is true. It never is, it is always becoming. We are ever changing. We go through stages and states in life. We do things and try things, we experience life. Passion drives us in many new areas and many new experiences. When we get to the point where we find a state and decide to stay in that state, that stage, we are in, as Anais Nin says, a kind of death.

My friend Bud, says, Without change there is is no growth. When we don’t grow, we become stagnant. We essentially die. Only dead things don’t grow.

When people lose their passion for new experiences, new states, new stages their mind starts to atrophy. Do you know people like this. Instead of working to move to the next state, they stay dormant. I know people like that. They are stuck in the past. They don’t see the new experiences as a form of growth. They don’t see the new experiences as a positive. They want to be what they are or more so what they were at one time.

This is not healthy. Life moves on. Life grows. Experiences change and new friends and feelings form. We all must seek to experience new changes, to keep becoming. If not, we die. If not physically certainly mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.

Go Out Today and Keep Becoming! Enjoy the States You Experience

S2-E35 – Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. –Rumi

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”
~Rumi

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

This is a simple quote. When you are in love or doing what you love, life is beautiful. When we love something, it is beautiful. Whether we love a man, a woman, art, a flower, an pet, a place, whatever we love, it is beautiful. Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet often spoke about love. Here he is talking about how the beauty of what we love should be what we do.

This 13th century idea is about what we call Passion today. When we are passionate about things, we see the great beauty in them. Rumi’s wisdom here is that we should be doing what we love. When we are doing what we love, life is beautiful. Life is happy.

I keep mentioning the sign I saw on Facebook, but it resonated so deeply with me that I keep thinking about it.

If you think about something day in and day out, every waking moment – and it makes you happy. You should be doing that.

I believe Rumi would think the same. When you think about something day in and day out, every waking minute, you are in love with it. It is beautiful to you. It is your mind’s focus. If it makes you happy, you should be doing that.

Love what you do. If it is a career, love what you do. I heard someone say recently, No job pays enough to suck! Same thing simplified.

Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.

I’m just full of these one liner quotes in this episode about passion in your work. I am big on passion these days. I believe we have to have passion for what we do, who we are with and in living a passionate life. Live life to it’s fullest.

S2-E34 -Passion lies in all of us…Passion rules us and we obey. What other choice do we have?

Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted… unbidden… it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have?”
– Joss Whedon, screenwriter and director

Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted… unbidden… it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have?”

Man, I love this quote about passion. I am going to take it, print it and put it on my wall. Josh Whedon is a great director and screenwriter. He is a quote master as well when it comes to passion. In his line of work, it takes passion to succeed. It takes passion to create and bring a movie to market.

I think Josh is correct. We all have Passion. It is within us all as we grow. Children have passion. Too often it is stifled as we grow. But at some time, for most of us it will stir. It will open it’s jaws and howl as Josh says.

Passion when we pay attention to it speaks to us, it does guide us, it does rule us all, and we must obey it when it rises within us. What choice do we have?

If we don’t obey it will drive us crazy, it will fill us with stress and longing. You must obey when passion comes to call. You must use that passion to take on your challenges each day.

Take passion and use it for yourself and for others. You are the champion of passion if we obey.

Go Out Today and Choose To Use It! Use The Passion Inside You!

S2-E33 – What the world needs is people who have come alive.

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
~Howard Thurman

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. – What the world needs is more people with passion that act on that passion and come alive to succeed.

Howard Thurman has probably heard the same thing I have heard. Ask yourself what the world needs and you will be successful. He doesn’t necessarily agree with this. Why? Because if you just try to do what others want, you will eventually not be willing to do it any longer. As soon as the joy runs out, as soon as you stop believing that the world is right about what they want or as soon as you stop believing in the same thing, you will quit. You will not have the passion it takes to keep that goal alive.

What Thurman is saying is to ask yourself what makes you come alive. What is your passion. Passion makes us come alive. It makes us get excited about things. When you find your passion, what it is that makes you come alive, then go and do that.

It reminds me of a sign I saw recently on Facebook – If you think about something day in and day out, with every waking moment, and it makes you happy, You should be doing that!

That’s the same thought that Thurman has here. Don’t worry about what everyone else wants or needs. Think about what makes you come alive! What makes you happy. Then go out and do that.

The world needs more people that have come alive. People that have come alive with a passion for something they believe in will do what it takes to succeed.

S2-E32 – There is no greatness without a passion to be great . . . Tony Robbins

There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.
~Anthony Robbins

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

There is no greatness without a passion to be great! Passion is the driver for human greatness. We’ve been talking about passion for the last week. I believe that passion is the biggest motivator of mankind. People who become great, who strive for greatness do so because they have a passion for their beliefs.

Without passion, there is no intensity, no burning desire to complete or be anything. That’s the sad state of the world today. People don’t have passion for their own beliefs. Those with passion for their beliefs work to make themselves great, to make their countries great, to make their religions great.

Whether that belief is good or bad, passion is what drives the person to do the things they do. They have the burning desire to succeed at what they do.

Imagine if we all had that passion for good. If we had the same passion for the good beliefs, what could we do? If we believe in our own greatness and the ability of our goals to be great, we will set the bar high. We will set ourselves to move toward greatness instead of mediocrity.

Go Out Today And Use Your Passion For Greatness to Be Great, To Create Great Things.
