Abraham Maslow: Watch Your Step

Abraham Maslow broke it down for us in simple terms.

He told us that in any given moment you have two options: you can step forward into growth or you can step back into safety. Pretty simple, really.

Become aware of your behavior. Become aware of the decisions you are making every moment of your life—the decision to speak authentically (step forward into growth) or to say what you think you should say (back into safety). Pay attention to your decision to either go out for the run you promised yourself or to make up an excuse as to why you just can’t do it today.

Become AWARE. Become conscious of who you are, the decisions you’re making, how you’re expressing yourself and what you’re actually doing.

Your destiny is shaped by your moment to moment decisions. Choose wisely. Step Forward.

Have a great day ahead…

Positive thinking doesnt Work..!!!!

Positive thinking doesnt Work..!!!!

 

There was someone I used to work with who, well aware
of their tendency to look at the negative side of things,
used to constantly tell themselves to "think more
positively".

This was said with such a feeling of desperation that I just
knew that not only would they NOT think positively, they
would probably go even further into negative thinking. The
mere fact that they kept pushing themselves to "think
positively" was a sign that this would ultimately be
counterproductive.

So many of us have interpreted the desire to be positive
thinkers in a very narrow and ultimately ineffective way.
The push to be positive often results in ignoring our
true feelings. Instead of recognizing that we don't always
feel positive and learning how to convert and turn round our
feelings, it so often ends up with us denying them
altogether.

The Law of Attraction, as defined by Abraham Hicks states
that "you attract to yourself what you give your attention
and energy to, whether wanted or unwanted".

One reason why positive thinking doesn't work is that our
focus is in the wrong place. So we say "I don't want to be
ill" and believe that this thought will prevent us from
being ill. So where is our focus? On being ill!
Because the Universe doesn't recognize "not" or "don't".
How many times have you told yourself NOT to forget
something and then what happens? Oops you've forgotten it!

Another reason why positive thinking doesn't work is that we
often veil our negative feelings with a positive surface.
So we say "I want a loving relationship". Sounds good
right? Except that underneath there is the hidden message
that having a loving relationship wouldn't even be an issue
- unless you'd been in one or a series of not so loving
relationships.

So it's the hidden message and negative feeling around it,
that is still coming through. Ultimately, you're still
pushing against something and it's still
counterproductive. You're likely to attract more unloving
relationships, even though you THINK you've stated
otherwise.

How can you begin to reverse this? Rather than focusing on
your thoughts, focus on your feelings about a given
situation or what you would like the situation to be. Start
to visualise and sense what you truly desire. Focus on
ramping up good, positive, energetic feelings about what
you desire, rather than the thought.

Practically you can do this by building a "creation box" of
pictures, ideas, notes, to stimulate your imagination of how
you'd like things to be. Appreciating lifes abundance in
what you already have by keeping an appreciation journal,
feeling and acting like the prosperous person you actually
are and channelling your good feelings into what you desire.

In fact, instead of being a positive thinker, aim to become
a positive feeler - it's much more visceral and real. Live
your life as though you already have what you desire and
you'll make way for it to come to you.

For Smokers Attention: A voice from the womb..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

I thought this will make sense to share with with our members for the reason most of us MAY have the habit of smoking or would be aware of some of our friends who smoke..

Just let them know about this outcome of their smoking habit and if possble forward the same to them. Let them have a chance to know how it would look for their children being like the above kids…

 

I guess the same impact applies to  women smokers too…

 

So lets beware and make other aware….!!!!

Tips on Filling Fuel in Your Vehicles

Tips on Filling Fuel in Your Vehicles

 

I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol... But here In Durban, we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per litre.

But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, So here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every litre.
 
Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban, we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.

 

One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 litres.

 

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR VEHICLES IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... Your litre is not exactly a litre.

 

In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business.

But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

 

WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE.

If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

 

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.

The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can Imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

 

Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount.

 

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

 

Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.

Guess that a little useful and makes sense for me…

The six patterns of communicating....

Leaders typically fall into one of six patterns of communicating,
and that pattern largely contributes to the communication climate of
the whole team. Some styles are far more effective than others.

1. Give and Let Live. Leaders who use this style send out lots of
information in all directions to everybody in the organization—
regardless of whether it's tailored, relevant, or applicable to
others' interests or needs. Their mindset: I've done my job in
sending the information—let them figure out if they want to know
what it all means.

2. Sell and Compel. Leaders who use this approach identify a few key
themes, sell their point of view, and compel others to see the
wisdom of their strategies and buy in to their goals.

3. Align and Redefine. These leaders listen for misunderstandings,
continue to correct those who get "out of line," and redefine their
goals.They rally the troops and ask them to "align" around those few
core issues.

4. Reply and Deny. For the most part, these leaders play hide and
seek and are seldom seen by rank-and-file employees and customers.
They listen to the grapevine for questions, concerns, or complaints
and then either reply and either confirm or deny rumors.

5. Control and Scold. Leaders who use this approach withhold
information in an attempt to control what happens. They scold
employees, suppliers, and strategic partners, causing them to behave
like dysfunctional family members. People pout, become jealous,
backstab, become territorial, lie, tattle, play favorites, argue,
withdraw, and generally work against each other.

6. Share and Compare. Leaders with this mindset communicate
information and their conclusions drawn about that information:
their vision, goals, strategies, and initiatives. They ask for and
listen to input from others about before setting all decisions,
policies, and plans in stone. Then they keep their ears to the
ground for necessary course corrections as new information, better
ideas, and varied viewpoints surface. They make us much effort to
hear as to be heard, and they encourage other people to talk to each
other about best practices.

Any one of the first five styles may limit a leader's effectiveness
and people's productivity. Take a culture that values harmony above
all else, …stir in an ineffective communication style of leaders, …
and you have a recipe for dysfunction, desperation, and duplicity.
By contrast, direct communication embraces rather than evades the
truth, involves clear words, and focuses on the facts. That kind of
communication increases productivity while eliminating the paranoia
that vexes and perplexes many people.
