Preface

In my career I have helped many people to develop their potential by using their own unique abilities and qualities. Usually people have similar things in common, to excel at their goals, to find their true destiny, develop better relationships, relieve emotional stress, increase and master their wealth, to have health and vitality, to contribute and give to their community or special charity. In other words to lead a better, fulfilled and improved life where all their needs are met.

Why do you think it is that some people seem to achieve all that they desire seemingly with little effort and with elegance while others despite all their good intentions and attempts seem to take longer to achieve their desires or even just do not ever achieve the life they are meant to be leading?

To achieve whatever it is that you choose to master or achieve in life there are certain natural laws of the universe you need to work with. It is when you work with these laws that you will attract what you want into your life. The movie the Secret enhances our awareness of The Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction takes precedence over every other law.

In this book and program Aspiring to Mastery I have put together some very fundamental Life Principles to use along with the Law of Attraction and universal laws. I have developed this program using an A-Z of mastery. This is the foundation to master all that you wish for in your life.

Mastering these Life Principles will change your life for the better. The work book will help you to implement and perfect and apply each and every single Life Principle. Apply these Life principles to your personal life, your professional life, your relationships, your health and vitality, your wealth development, your spirituality.

Through this program you will:

• Develop your self awareness

• Develop unlimited resourcefulness

• Communicate with elegance

• Create the future you desire

• Maximise your potential

• Discover your life purpose

• Increase your belief and confidence

• Follow your bliss, radiate joy

• Be the cause of some great effects in your life

• Become focused on your goals

• Become unstoppable, achieve all that you want

• Improve your state, live with passion

• Be creative and imaginable

• Control your own happiness, health, wealth and destiny

The use of thought through the conscious mind, the unconscious mind and the universal mind are key in mastering and achieving your goals and life purpose. All these Life Principles and laws belong together, they compliment one another. You will naturally want to use each and every one of them. On completion of this life changing program, you will have a thorough understanding of mastery and how each one of these elements and principles will work to bring the results that you want in your life. Your thoughts, feelings and behaviours will attract all that you want in your life. This program offers you a step by step process to show you how you can aspire to mastery.

Chapter One

Welcome and Introduction

Hello and Welcome to Aspiring to Mastery. My name is Jacqueline Day and it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this very special program that I have put together especially for you. Aspiring to Mastery has been a labour of love and passion for me and I look forward to you and I embarking on a wonderful journey together which will enrich your life and unlock your hidden potential.

In my work as a Master Neuro Linguistic Programmer, Master Coach, Trainer, Emotional Freedom Therapist and Inspirational Speaker, it never ceases to amaze me just how much unlimited potential we as human beings have.

The practices outlined In Aspiring to Mastery will help you to enhance and develop your self-awareness and communication which is vital in order to help you achieve your full potential. I truly believe that these practices act as a catalyst for change, maximising the potential of individuals, empowering them to reach their life successes and goals. Each and every one of these life principles in this program are the very foundation for whatever it is that you wish to master in any area of your life. Apply these principles to your business life, your relationships, your personal development, your spirituality, your physical health, your wealth development. These life principles when learnt and applied daily without fail are at the very core of mastering, manifesting and attracting what you desire in every aspect of your life. You will also notice in this program how all of these life principles and practices belong together, they are all part of a team, they all inter relate to one another, they all connect. The key is to use all of them all the time, every single day of your life; do not leave any one of them out as they will all serve you well.

In my work it is interesting to find that each individual has their own ‘map of the world’ and lives in a different reality from every other individual. This means that each one of us operates on our own experience of the world. I know that you may have heard the saying ‘the map is not the territory’ which is a metaphor that is at the very heart of NLP. Perhaps a relevant way to express this is in the same way that a menu is not a meal , so the experience we have of the world is not the world itself. One person’s perception will vary from another person’s perception and their reality.

We give each event meaning and different people will give the same event a different meaning. The reason for this is that as human beings we process information through our five senses and through our brain and nervous system.

The five senses are sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. Our mind and body connect through the nervous system and the five senses are our mental pathways that run across our body and mind. We consciously and unconsciously delete what we do not want to pay attention to. The remaining data we filter based upon our past experiences, values and beliefs. Some of the information is generalised or even distorted, some is deleted and the remainder is filtered and forms our internal map which in turn will influence our physiology and state of being.

Just like you and I are able to store and upgrade software on our Personal Computers, we can install and upgrade our mental software therefore changing the way in which we think and the actions we carry out. This has a chain reaction of sorts, since changing our thoughts will change our feelings which will in turn change our behaviour. When we change the qualities of the images, our experiences alter and it is then that new programming will take place.

New ways of thinking and solving problems can be created so that you can be at your best more often and communicate with excellence. It is important also to understand in this program that the conscious mind will hold approximately only seven pieces of information at any one time, it has the ability to accept or reject any such information.

The important difference to take on board between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind is that the sub conscious mind is more powerful and can take in hundreds and thousands of pieces of information; however it does not have the ability to accept or reject. It stores exactly what you have asked it to store from your conscious mind. It will support ALL your beliefs whether they are negative or positive. Your subconscious mind will want to prove you right and will be very loyal and obedient always thinking that it is acting in your best interest. I think that you will agree that it is important to hold our beliefs as positively as possible as they have such a powerful influence on our subconscious mind.

Our subconscious mind is perhaps the most faithful servant that we will ever have. Whatever you believe to be true your subconscious mind will strive to prove you right and fulfill your commands. If you constantly tell your subconscious mind that you are wealthy, it will move heaven and earth to manifest that reality for you encouraging you to take relevant actions. If on the other hand you are in-congruent in what you say and do and have a consciousness of lack, it will exert the same amount of force and power to manifest that reality for you. For instance if you ask for a red sports Mercedes and then you say to yourself that you will not be able to afford the running costs, you will send out confusing messages and the Mercedes will not be delivered to you. Ask, BELIEVE and receive. The secret is to really really BELIEVE. The moment you have a counter intention you do not believe it to be possible so you will not receive.

When I am working with my clients, I always provide them with a set of tools and techniques to help them develop an attitude and mindset which is outcome focussed. Their new patterns of thinking and communicating mean that their outcomes become meaningful, verifiable, compelling and achievable. They become really clear about the benefits of their goal achievement and the possible consequences if they do not start taking action soon. Much work and progress is made on exactly what was holding them back and stopping them from performing at their full potential. When I coach it is my heartiest desire that my clients are successful and develop their unlimited potential to unleash all the power that is truly within them.

Yes we really do have unlimited potential. With unlimited potential comes unlimited resourcefulness, unlimited energy, unlimited life and in life itself there is growth.

Life is not still or static, it is always moving forward and meeting forever changing conditions.

Along your life path, you may meet with many obstacles and even fears to conquer. When any fear or self doubt is resolved and released, we as human beings can move forward in ways we may not have ever imagined. What once was perceived to be an obstacle will become a challenge from which you can develop and learn from?

Now I know that you perhaps are thinking to yourself ‘so Jacky what is mastery’. In this program the A-Z of Aspiring to Mastery I will explain and take you by the hand and show you many steps to aspire to the mastery that you so deserve in your life. I ask that you keep an open mind as I may well introduce you to concepts and methodologies which you have not come across before, or if you have, you may not have attempted to use them or realised the importance and power of their use.

This will be a step by step process which I will take you through with exercises for you to carry out; though I highly recommend that you read this book two or even three times before you carry out the exercises in your work book. Like so many good learning programs it is good to read the chapters several times and really absorb the information. It is when you have taken some of the meanings and concepts on board that you will be ready to explore further and carry out the exercises.

Each and every single concept that will be covered in this book has an accompanying exercise in your workbooks; some exercises may require you to pen down new thoughts and ideas, while others will suggest action items for you to include in your daily regime. Still others may outline a step or process to inculcate a particular habit into your life.

Now I know by the very fact that you have purchased this program that you are already ready to explore, to grow, to become clear about your own potential and move forward in the ways that you were meant to.

Indeed you most definitely can be the master of your own destiny and the star of your own show.

There are some very important and fundamental processes and laws for you to follow which will enable you to create the future that you so desire. Have you ever been at a crossroads in your life? I am sure that you can relate to that feeling. The choices that you are making at this very moment are designing your own future. Do you ever wonder or ponder on what might have been? What would have happened if you had made a different choice or made a different decision? I am sure you must have. I know that I can relate to this.

It is here that I would like to share with you a story, one of which I have not shared with many, only because I suppose it happened some time ago. In fact, I am about to take you back to my early school days. And yes this IS a very relevant story. At the age of eleven I was chosen and put forward to sit for the Art Exam to enable me to enter the only Art School in England for eleven to eighteen year olds.

One could not apply to sit this exam; you were actually chosen to sit it. I remember the halls of my junior school were full of my art work. Art was a passion for me, one of my biggest thrills. My Head Mistress and Form teacher entered me for this very unique school. I was thrilled when I passed and entered into a school which I loved, doing something that I loved. Every day I looked forward with great joy to going to school. Now I remember very clearly that there were two boys in my form whose art work I admired greatly and in ‘ my world’ they had mastered every possible skill in the art world. Their paintings really did come to life. I thought my art work could not compare.

So I chose to take a different career into business. Some while later there was a school reunion which I attended with ex-pupils from all the years. As I met with one of the boys in my class whose work I had so admired, it was wonderful to hear of his progress in the Art world and even to the extent that Andrew Lloyd Webber, the master of Theatre, had bought some of his paintings. I was fascinated and pleased for him. I also met with a girl from my form that made the following statement to me Jacky, I remember you for three things. Intrigued, I asked what they were. Her reply was. Your wonderful mane of long red hair; your ability to find fun and joy in everything – you giggled into every lesson and you giggled out of every lesson; most of all though, I remember you for your amazing art work. This was one of those defining moments. Yes my Art work was amazing. It was just different to others. After all an artist or master should be unique shouldn’t they?

Now I wanted to tell you this story for many reasons. Let’s think, what does this story tell you about me at that time in my life?

Well first of all I can definitely say that I was comparing myself to others. This was mistake number one. I here and now state to you.

Never ever compare yourself to others. The only person you need ever compare yourself with is yourself.

That is what really matters. Compare yourself to how well you are doing now and how you have progressed since yesterday, last week, last month, last year. Master your unique talents and abilities and continue to make good progress. Ensure that you take the best that you have achieved and install it within you. Focus on what does work for you and upon this build a good self representation.

What else does it tell you about me at that time? I think my own self belief was for some reason in neglect. Now why did I not believe in myself when others believed in me when I was eleven years of age; yes they recognised a talent as did my peers later on.

What was my thought process at that time?

It also tells you that I had been doing something I loved since the age of eleven and I had the ability to find and radiate joy, which is so hard for many of us to do on a daily basis.

I would also say that this story tells you that I also lacked a sound decision making strategy at that time. Yes, I was at a crossroads. A very vital crossroads - my future career. The choices and decisions I made at that time could have sent me in a completely different direction from where I am today.

Just as a leader in the science of peak performance, Anthony Robbins states It is in your moment of decision that your destiny is shaped. This is so very true. Every decision we make shapes our destiny. The reason you are where you are right now is a result of every decision you have ever made in your life. Think about it. That thought alone is very powerful and does make us pause for a second. That thought means that you alone are responsible for where you are today based on the choices you made in the past and you alone will be responsible for where you will be tomorrow based on the choices you are making right now.

If I had had this certain knowledge at that time in my life along with the tools and resourcefulness that I possess today, I may have made very different decisions. This story of my school days is so very relevant to this program Aspiring To Mastery.

Our thoughts, feelings, actions and behaviours attract into our life exactly what we send out and transmit. It is likely that you have seen the movie The Secret and
