outstanding

Anthony Robbins says that if you want excellent results in your life you need to put forth outstanding effort. Good effort, poor results, excellent efforts, poor results. But just pushing forward to over the top then you get excellence. In meditating today on this subject I found out you can make choices that effect these outcomes. For example: When I wake up I can choose to start my day off with a positive attitude and then confirm this with meditating. And I can take it a step further by meditating on these choices. I 2 minutes I will be walking into dad's room and pick up his depends that he threw on the floor along with any clothing or bedding that might have gotten wet in the night, empty his commode, open his blinds and carry out this morning activity with cleaning him up and getting him his breakfast. But imagine if you will you are standing in front of his room and decide to be outstanding in every way towards him attitude wise as well as conversation, and actions included. I've done this in the past if I was having a bad day and didn't want him to be on the receiving end of my projections of negativity. I have learned this week that just because you have an altercation or something pisses you off you don't have to pass it on to someone else and this new finding with me is very neat because I find negativity is very catchy just like a cold you don't want to catch but somehow do. Going beyond the positive attitude and not faltering is the step I am in right now. Being able to look adversity in the eye and not letting it consume me, outrage me or effect the bigger picture. Later I'll let you know how I do, I am going to do this later also when I make food choices how much you want to bet me that it will be harder!
