| "It is not impossible!" and the Holy Grail |

Dear Nigel,
"It is not impossible!"
One day driving along in the car my three-year old
started repeating this phrase over and over again.
Where she got it from I have no idea!
Is this how young children create some of their
beliefs for their life: They hear something, and then
go on repeating it until it is firmly printed on
the "hard disk".
How often do you say to yourself, "It is not
impossible"?
You might look to see if you catch yourself saying
the opposite!
When I am out and about in the corporate world,
doing my coaching and consultancy, I often
hear "they" are asking so much, "they" are asking the
impossible.
Well, here is a new perspective: when someone
suggests (or tells you) to produce results beyond
what you are doing now, and what you believe is
impossible:
- take a deep breath;
- fully experience (and express in a private
place), "that is utterly impossible"; and
then
- ask yourself, "what are the factors, one by one,
that stop us getting the desired results
now?"
Make a list of the issues - note the people involved -
look at the processes (and beliefs) that create the
blockages.
Concepts like: zero stock; lean
manufacturing; producing automobiles singly to order;
and Enlightenment were created from
wanting to go
beyond the “known” and beyond the established
patterns.

INSTANT COFFEE
Everyone wants instant coffee. Everyone wants a
quick easy solution of all life's problems.
Often on a personal level, also corporate (corporate
= the sum of the individuals), the undesired situation
is a result of:
- not saying "No" at the right time, and then
continuing the compromise; or,
- trying to keep the same life model, and just making
the minimum changes when forced to (basically
resisting change).
Instant coffee is the solution to the problem, of
course!
Everything will become "alright". Everyone wants this
secret recipe to make it all go alright. But instant
coffee is just another name for the Holy Grail!
If instant coffee did resolve all the problems of your
world, would you take it, or would you start
negotiations for all the things you do not want to
change?
Let me tell you a little story (it will also explain why
there
has been a gap in these Updates). Over the May 1
holiday I was in Croatia running a personal
development course for nine days. The course is a
real life-changer and gives you tools to model the life
you want and to handle all your stuff. You could say
it is a belief
management system.
One of the students told me last night she had clear
ideas about the life she wants to create, however,
there is the feeling that the old habits are pulling her
back, like someone pulling her tail!

Habits do run deep, and firm decisions are needed to
make and to maintain change; and most of all
persistence is needed until the “New You” is on
automatic.
Many people decide after living about thirty/forty
years with the programme "It is impossible" that they
want to try something new!
Such a shift takes courage and fortitude: and you will
have to leave the old habits behind you, just like
giving up smoking. And do not forget to let go of the
tail!
You can create the future you desire, and IT IS
NOT
IMPOSSIBLE.
Is it not impossible?
Yes, and Welcome to all the new
subscribers.
Nigel coaches people like you to freedom – freedom
from limitations, freedom to do/be more, financial
freedom, emotional freedom, freedom to be
yourself.
