Did you know that mid-life crisis begins in kindergarten?
Yes,
it's true! Right now thousands of kids are sitting in
classrooms learning that they can't be successful—just
because they're not good at math or English or some other
subject.
And at least 80% of the adult population doubt their own abilities
for success because of the same school messages they
received while growing up.
Some people grew up believing they had learning problems
or a learning disability just because they had trouble
with spelling or memorizing history facts or sitting
still in a chair all day.
Others grew up believing they were just average—perhaps
the worst indictment of all!
Our goal is to teach adults to be successful based on
their own unique learning styles—their personalities, their natural talents,
and what they love to do—so they can go for what they want
and bring more harmony and joy into their lives.
Here
are the 3 KEYS to getting what you want...
| •
Let go of your "Mistaken Identity." |
| • Embrace
your "True Identity." |
| • Use
your "Power Traits" to give yourself what you need and want. |
Key
1: Let
go of your "Mistaken Identity."
What
is a Mistaken Identity?
A Mistaken Identity comes from myths and mis-labels you might have
grown up with:
You have to be better than everyone else.
You're not as good as everyone else.
You have to give 100% to everything
you do.
Good grades lead to success in life.
If you don't go to college you won't get anywhere.
Forget your (talent or interest)—you'll never make it (as
an artist, musician, firefighter...).
It's not possible to get what you want.
Don't have unrealistic expectations.
You have to be a good reader and good writer to get anywhere.
Wait your turn.
I'm only average.
I'm a troublemaker.
I'm the class clown.
I ask too many questions.
I'm a daydreamer.
I'm lazy.
I'm too quiet.
I'm too noisy.
Key 2: Embrace
your "True Identity."
How do you embrace your True Identity?
Your true identity is made up of several aspects that identify your learning
style. Some of these aspects are your Disposition, your Modality, Your Interests,
and your Talents.
Your
Disposition is the aspect that tells the world who you
are. A quick way to determine your Disposition is to consider
the following and choose the line you identify with the
most:
a. Entertain/Move/Do
b. Manage/Organize/Plan
c. Question/Experiment/Invent
d. Bond/Talk/Relate
e. Wonder/Think/Create
Does one of these make you think,
Yes, that's me! I wish I could spend most of the day doing that...
Now let's look at Modality. Modality is the aspect that helps you process
incoming information in the way that works best for you. Complete this statement: I
learn and remember best when I can:
a. see it
b. draw it
c.
discuss it
d. hear it
e. interact with it
f. read it
h. write it
Your Talents are those gifts you were born with. Whether or
not you are interested in pursuing them, they are things that
come easily to you. Make a list of your Talents. Hint: Talents
come in all forms so think beyond art, music, and sports. A
person could have a talent for gardening, doing puzzles, talking,
working with animals, negotiating, re-arranging furniture,
telling jokes...
And,
finally, your Interests are those things that you
love to do, things that you are passionate about. An Interest
is not necessarily a Talent. It is good to recognize that
Interests can be the most motivating factors in your life.
Make a list of your Interests.
Your choices in these four areas tell the truth about YOU
—the
REAL YOU! The real you needs to come out for
success to happen. Knowing about your True Identity rekindles
your spirit and you become ready to move
forward by identifying what you want and taking action steps
to make those things happen.
Celebrate who you are! Enjoy knowing the truth about you!
Key
3: Use your "Power Traits" to give yourself what
you need and want.
How do you Use your Power Traits to get what you want?
Look at the choices you made in Step 2. These are your Power Traits.
If you chose #a for Disposition, your Power Traits are to entertain, to move,
to do. If you chose #c for Modality, your Power Trait is to talk it out when
receiving information. Your Talents and Interests are additional Power Traits.
