Lessons in success consciousness

Ok I’m a big kid, Back again with the latest lessons in success from the world of  Manga. In my opinion, after Dragon Ball Z  Naruto Shepelton is the most inspirational manga cartoon, Jam packed with life lessons.

Naruto Uzumaki always has his eyes on victory and success. For Naruto it’s about becoming powerful and wise enough to become Hokage (leader) to protect his village. No matter what it takes victory is the only truth, this is self determination. We can learn some valuable lessons in success consciousness from our young Ninja Naruto.

When you enter the school of life’s you are required to look to the top and grow from where you stand, you’re a success because you are here right now. You have grown and won many victories. Were you stop growing is up to you?

As a child Naruto looked up and said he will one day lead as Hokage. This was Naruto’s big vision, to protect and gain the respect of the people he loves. Every time Naruto is in a tough spot he looks back at all the battle’s his won and remembers that he always finds a way to win.

Key points:

  • What are you passionate about?
  • What do you love to do?
  • In your passion you can find great energy and drive?

One thing which you should remember is that you have won many battles through out your life; you are already a successful person.

When naruto comes up against an seemingly unbeatable challenges, he always reflects back to his previous victory’s as a source of power. Doing this he sees that it’s not the first time he’s come against a tough challenge and even though the situation is tough, with hard work and focus his Conquered them one by one.

Key points:

  • Counts your victory‘s. You’ve won many battles, List your victory’s, major and minor.
  • Use your past success to fuels further success

Naruto failed at every attempt to pull off the most simple ninja skills, such as the shadow clone technique, but he never gives up trying to learn this simple technique. In time he did learn how to pull off the shadow clone technique and this became one of his most power weapons the multi shadow clone technique.

What can we learn from this?

  • Well in trying to shoot for the moon you may just hit a star
  • With focus and determinations you can turn your weakness into strength

When Naruto says or sets out to accomplish a task, that’s it – it is as good as done, naruto sticks to his word. Naruto lives by what he calls his nindo, his ninja way. Naruto’s nindo is his code” I never give up, I never go back on my word.

Naruto’s nindo or code gives naruto no way out. Because he is committed Naruto believes he has to find a way, what ever it takes and stay true to his word. Naruto commitment to his code gives Naruto the power and creativity to overcome obstacles.

What can you take form this? 

  •    Let your word become manifested.  Honour your word, when you say your going to do something do it.

The rasengan a technique handed down from master to master. When naruto was introduced to this technique he was told that it was technique that has only been mastered by a few masters. Naruto thought to his self, how can he accomplish what only a small number of people have done, this is impossible he thought to himself, then naruto reflected back to his goal to became the leader of the village. In learning the rasengan, he saw his self walking in the foot step’s of the greats. It became a metaphor for his goals to become a Leader.

When working out use your exercise as a metaphor or affirmation. This helps to build the motivation to deal with life’s challenges with a smile (see 50 on the clip)

See yourself  the boss. Naruto is respectful to all people who he meets, but Naruto is his own boss. People respect naruto because he shows respect and honour to all, even people who seem like they are against him. When Naruto had a battle with gura, the sand ninja, Naruto looked past the evil in his enemy eye’s to the see the truth of the situation. Naruto’s so called enemy was actually a victim, they fought but Naruto showed compassion for his enemy and made him a allies and a friend.

What can we take home ?

  • Make more friends then enemy’s
  • Your enemy may turn out to be a misunderstood friend

“When people are protecting something truly special to them, they truly can become…as strong as they can be.”
— Naruto

A Ninja’s job is to see his/her mission through to the end.

Start by going  BANG with the alarm

Ready set go, When you wake up think, No procrastination no hesitation – Think 1, 2, 3 go as the alarm rings, jump out from the starting which is your bed.

First Things First Read your goals for the day

  • Wipe the sleep from eyes as you review the Day’s prize, that should be at least 3 tasks to get you closer to the finish line.

Do some thing to wake your self up

So you’re out off  bed, No pause, no Hesitation we move fast no time for procrastination, so that’s fifty on the clip, integrate push ups with visualisation, 20 min to an hour meditation will benefit every other hour of the day Its 4:35  it’s early we can fit in a meditation, that’s one hour of Zen that sets the tone for the walking meditation. Mantras and Visualisation help to raise the tone of the mental emotional vibration. 5:30 eyes open as we end the candle meditation.

Arouse the will power with Breathing exercises

  • Melatonin is telling you to go back to sleep, quick breathing helps to stimulate serotonin to wake you up.

Meditation sets the mood, movement gives you the juice, to get the heart in gear.

We’ve got one hour before the kids wake up from their nights slumber, so on with the sneakers and off with the night rob. Off to the park we run, Some of us juggle and run, the correct term is joggling, try it, its brain Stimulating fun, it relaxes mind and aids concentration. Joggling makes a grey run (boring), colourful and fun.

Don’t let your mouth off the hook give it a workout

Your favourite affirmation will do you well as you run, Remember What Napolean Hill said, about Auto suggestion  (affirmation), desire mixed with emotion will get you quicker to you destination, so I can guarantee a run will be the prefect Catalyst to inject and burn your affirmation into your subconscious, let the power of you discipline stimulate your emotion. If your a public speaker this is a perfect time to practice your diction, this practice will help you refine the art and technique of verbal communication, expanding lung capacity and vocal control, adding a little resonance and clarity to your voice. I can guarantee that your confidence will rise in direct Collation to this exercise.

Cross training: monkey around explore movement

To the park, we arrive there’s no kids around so off to kiddies climbing frame we head. The monkey bars and climbing frame make a perfect training aid to develop your upper body. If you live in London you can benefit from one of the numerous outdoor gyms, I think this can be perfect to get you out door fit.  Whether training in the kids play area or the out door gym, I call it a perfect companion to the morning hour of power. (Relax, move slow, soak in the positive feeling) moving meditation helps us to connect to the heart. Personally speaking my early rising hour of power, is built up of qi gong moving meditation, to relax and promote energy cultivation, it feels good being apart of this early morning movement, skyward we face feeling gratitude, giving thanks to our source of inspiration. For me the only thing missing is the beat of the drum.We tune into the beat of our heart within us.

Join the millions in your time zone who rise with the sun, It all about the hour of power

Across the world people are entering in to the zone, no thoughts just now, movement outside, still within, the minds relaxed the muscles have been primed for peak performance. As the sun rises there’s an explosion of energy, be apart of the explosion, as the earth heats up call it kundali call it chi, call it the high, call it adrenarline.

Whatever you call it energy explodes into a states of activity, some people feel like running they can do ten extra miles, some hit the weights bench and give it ten more reps, others are in the swimming pool feeling the same surged of energy, they give it five more laps using the butterfly technique on lookers inspire by this display of peak performance energy, me, in the park feeling the same energy, their are so many others like us exploding with energy, material art, fluids yoga, fun running from a high, meditation, breathing soaking in that energy, some are running  on the beach, others are shadow boxing up against a tree, for me its 6:30 I wipe the sweet from my brow, reach into my backpack invest half an hour or so  in reading words of wisdom and some word of inspiration as I read walking I exercise my awareness and Peripheral vision, home I go after an successful hour of power thank you Antony robins for the inspiration.
