Push Your Limits


Book Description

If you’re reading this page, you probably have a goal you’d like to accomplish or plans you’d like to execute. You know you need a push but you may not be sure what kind of push you need. Or you may know what kind of push you need but not how to get it. I recognize that feeling. I’ve felt it myself. It can be isolating and frustrating. It can also seem like it’s your fault that you need this push. Yes it is your job to take the steps to fulfill your destiny but sometimes the day to day details of life can become overwhelming. As we get older, we begin to realize that while pursuing our dreams is important so is becoming a responsible adult. You may find yourself with a job, family and household to run or take care of and those daily tasks take time. In fact, they can take up all of your time without you realizing it. They’re all important. You can’t NOT do them. You don’t have that option. What typically ends up happening in these situations is that we put ourselves on the back burner. We sacrifice our need to pursue our dreams in favor of doing what is expected of us. If possible, we honor our need for time to focus on ourselves to those moments when we’re not being called upon to handle daily tasks. You Are Responsible For Your Success! Ultimately YOU are the only one who has power over your life. If you aren’t pursuing your goals because of someone else, you are essentially using that person as an excuse or a buffer. It’s always easier to place responsibility on someone else than yourself. Stepping outside of your comfort zone isn’t easy. You shouldn’t expect it to be easy. Be prepared to do some tough personal work. If you have goals to pursue but haven’t, it’s important that you figure out why and fix it. I’ve been where you are. In fact, I expect I’ll be here again. The process of stepping outside of your comfort zone and pushing your limits is an ongoing one. It doesn’t really get any easier. It just becomes an integral part of personal growth. To give you a head start, I've written a special guide on this subject so you can finally step outside of your comfort zone. Here's what you'll discover in the Push Your Limits guide: How to get out of the rut you're stuck in. What is success and what does it mean to you? Read this important chapter before moving ahead. How to change your perspective and tap into your calling. Getting comfortable being uncomfortable as a way to achieve real success and results. Your comfort zones and how to break free from them.

Four Patterns of Healthy People


Book Description

Identify Recurring Patterns to Grow Beyond What Is Holding You Back from Success and Fulfillment! Your most powerful work is overcoming the mistakes, flaws, and wounds you have internalized throughout your life. Are you ready to harness that? Recurring themes of conflict, cognition, addiction, time allocation, and situational responses become patterns that affect your decisions, both positively and negatively. Once you are aware of these recurring patterns, you can use them to place emphasis on the positive impact and minimize the negative. Understanding these patterns is step one to becoming a healthier version of yourself. Do you believe that you can change patterns in how you think and relate to others to have a more fulfilling life? You can. In 2002, Matt Norman suffered from debilitating panic attacks that sidelined him from business meetings, making it difficult for him to interact with others. Once he learned to recognize the patterns that were causing his anxiety, Matt was able to overcome it. Now, he is a leader in the industry that mentors others on how to do the same. You have a choice. You can stay stuck in the same recurring patterns or you can identify and confront those patterns in an effort to grow. Your brain will remind you of trauma and past experiences to keep you in the same pattern of survival, "Be careful, you got hurt last time!" It makes you resist change because it might be risky! As a result, you remain in fixed patterns that can limit productivity and be downright debilitating. This is the brain's natural reaction, but that does not mean you have to be locked into this limiting behavior. You can create new connections in your brain that encourage new thoughts and actions. Don't you think it's time for you to grow and lead a more fulfilling life? You're the reason Matt wrote this book. His passion is to show you how to recognize recurring negative patterns that are holding you back and help you embrace the growth that will carry you to new heights! Matt Norman is President & CEO of Norman & Associates. Through Norman & Associates, he helps people think and work together more effectively.

Pushing the Limits


Book Description

How do we prepare children for a future we can't even imagine? Across Canada, a debate swirls around what our children will need to know in the face of huge technological, economic, social and political change. The question has become an ideological battleground, and there is a hunger for a deeper understanding of what we should be doing to prepare children now for the challenges of the future. This timely, important book is an answer to that call. In Pushing the Limits, Kelly Gallagher-Mackay and Nancy Steinhauer draw on their experiences as educational leaders to reveal that the schools of the future exist in the here and now. They introduce us to extraordinary Canadian public schools, deeply rooted in their communities, that are fostering innovators, nimble problem-solvers and engaged citizens, boosting math comprehension, cultivating creativity and using technology to broaden the parameters of learning. And they explore why the role of schools is expanding to nurture students' social-emotional skills and growth mindsets, and how vital this broader definition of education is to children's long-term health, happiness and success. This book provides a vision of what schooling can and should look like in our rapidly shifting world and explores how we—parents and teachers—can realize this vision together.
