Today I want to talk to you about Creating Certainty in your life. This is a topic that I have heard over and over from experts and thought leaders in my life. Robert Stuberg spends a great deal of time on this subject. The Roman philosopher Seneca said, "Nothing is certain expept the past" Erich Fromm also said, "The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers." I love this second quote because I believe sometimes we place too much effort on finding certainty in our lives. Of course certainty is important...but no less that the benefits obtained from a degree of uncertainty in our lives. Tony Robbins talks about the need for both: certainty and uncertainty STORIES OF CERTAINTY & UNCERTAINTY Right now the world is definitely in a state of chaos or uncertainty. So, how do we learn to create a degree (or more) certainty in order to create some "peace of mind"...? My Mentor Robert made a statement to me that really hit home, and I'd like you to really think about this... ...People make the mistake of looking for certainty "outside" of them selves...the only sure bet is to look inside of yourself to create certainty. What does this really mean?... How do we create certainty inside of ourselves...? Well, I believe that the best way to create certainty in our lives is to focus on the only thing we truly have control over...our Actions and Mindset... By focusing on our goals and unique talents in life, and taking massive action, we can create and maintain a degree of control and certainty in our lives. We can create confidence, self esteem, and peace of mind when we create a plan and follow through with that plan. And...when aligned with our unique talents, purpose and passion, it makes for a great recipe for success in our life. So many people are relying on their jobs, parents, leaders and influencers in their lives to create results and certainty and security for them in life. It's time that we begin to realize that "no one" is going to come and rescue you. No one is going to be the hero of your own story in life.... ...you need to be the Hero of Your Story. This is what will create Certainty, Peace of Mind and Results for you in Life. Your Actions will create the life you are seeking. I understand that sometimes we feel that life is out of control. Maybe you feel like... ...your job is grinding you down. ...your business is riding waves up and down. ...your relationships and people around you are demanding your time. ...your circumstances are "outside" of your control. Well the truth is that none of that really matters when it comes to creating your life, because the only thing you can control, influence and FOCUS on is Your Own Actions. And when you develop a deep sense of Purpose and Commitment to YOUR life and Path...that is when you will continue to move in the right direction... ...a direction of Health, Wealth, and Happiness. You've probably heard me refer to the story of the iceberg in the past... Many years ago, ancient sailors use to be amazing by a strange phenomenom they witnessed in the ocean with icebergs they would pass. The sailors used to wonder why the wind would be blowing a particular direction and yet they would see these massive icebergs moving against the wind in the opposite direction. It was because they didn't realize a couple of important priciples that were happening. First, the iceberg they saw (although enormous on the surface) were actually only 10% of the actual mass of the iceberg...the rest was under water. Second, the deep ocean currents were actually what was moving the iceberg, and those current were not flowing the same direction as the wind. This principle is also one we can apply in our lives. When we learn to develop deep commitments to our Unique Talent and Goals that are aligned with our Passion and Purpose in life...we can develop our own deep "internal" currents that will continue to move us in the direction of our Destiny regardless of what is happening in the world around us. Learning to develop certainty in our lives "internally" is the best way to find that Peace of Mind and Certainty... The key is to look internally, not externally, to create certainty in your life. I hope that makes sense to you and you can find ways to do that in your own life. Remember, Your Actions will create Certainty. The Program Robert Stuberg Developed called Creating Your Ultimate Destiny goes into this in much more detail, but truly all you need to do is... 1- Decide what you want in life... 2- Adopt the beliefs and emotions that will lead you to that goal... 3- Decide what you need to do by making a plan of action... 4- Take Action. It isn't rocket science and it isn't a secret... Taking action will get you to your goal and will create the certainty you are looking for. Remember what I said earlier... All the perfect planning, thinking and organizing will never Create Your Life. Only Actions and Alignment with your Unique Talent will do the job. Thanks for listening to these ideas today, and I hope they have inspired you to take control and responsibility for your life. Talk with you more tomorrow... George Wright III

After 25 Million copies sold in 40 languages, this book has become an icon in the field of personal development and leadership. More importantly, Stephen R. Covey has become well know for the lessons, thoughts and habits that he taught the world for transformation as a leader and increasing your effectiveness in life. Today I want to do a high level review of the entire book for you in order to inspire you with ideas and potentially rekindle your interest in going back to this book for strategies to change your life. Quote I love… "People can’t live with change if there’s not a changeless core inside them. the key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value." I think this is a premise of the entire book… Covey created this entire book on the premise that INNER success comes before OUTER success. He says “private victory” must precede “public victory”. It’s basically PERSONAL Mastery first. He goes on to talk about how Habits are the building blocks of the change you want to create in your life. Real change is the result of slow development of character over time. Daily Habits of thinking and acting are what Greatness are built upon. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is not a get rich quick or a silver bullet to Greatness… …its about slow, deliberate change over time to create your Destiny. Quote for the book by Charles Reade summarized Covey’s thoughts… “Sow a thought, and you reap an action; sow an action, and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.” Another important note about the book before we cover the 7 habits is the distinction that Covey draws between Effective vs Efficient progress. So many of us are caught up in “time management” when Efficiency is not the primary objective we should be chasing. He says… “Think about what is most important to you and see if it is the center around which your life revolves. Don’t worry about efficiency. There is use being “efficient” if what you are doing lack’s meaning or an essential good.” Bottom line…Effectiveness trumps Achievement all day long… So let’s get into the Habits now… Habit #1 Be Proactive "Your life doesn’t “happen”. Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.” Being proactive in life (this habit) is all about “Being responsible” for your life. The way we are responsible is by being proactive. Proactive is your ability to respond to situations (good and bad) in a way that accepts responsibility for choosing the direction and course you will follow… …the decisions you will make that affect how you respond to any situation. Proactive people take responsibility for their lives and actions. Proactive vs Reactive…what is the difference? Proactive people choose their behavior Proactive people take control of their own emotions Proactive people direct their intentions and actions toward what they want. Reactive people let others choose their behavior Reactive people believe others control their emotions by giving away their power Reactive people let other people direct them and tell them what to do Bottom line…Reactive people are affected by and react to their environment… …which is giving up responsibility for the outcomes they have in life. …they shift blame, have shifts in attitude and emotions, and don't take responsibility. Covey suggests that one of the best ways to become proactive as a person is to control and watch the quality of your LANGUAGE. …your language creates the quality of your life (he says) …learn to use phrases like “I can, I will, I prefer…not I can’t, I have to, if only” He also drops one of the most important lessons of the book, I have used throughout my life. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” 2 Key points 1-you have a point that determines your power to choose response 2-most important thing you can “choose” is what you say (language) This habit is truly the core of the principles and habits in the book, so I have spent more time on it in general. But an additional thought I want to bring out is this… The problems, challenges and opportunities we face fall into 2 areas…Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence. To become a Proactive Person…focus on your efforts within your circle of Influence…things you can do something about. To avoid becoming a Reactive Person, don’t waste your time on things you can’t influence…environment, weather, Covid, etc. Habit #2 Begin With the End in Mind “Begin with the end in mind is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There’s a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things.” This principle is much like the carpenters rule of Measure twice. Cut Once. You have to figure out what you want in life or you will end up with something that you may not want. So what do you want? Best way to do this is to Create your destiny through the exercises of developing a Personal Mission Statement, Goals and Milestones to guide you on your journey. This will allow you to Begin with the End in Mind and make Daily Decisions that align with your Purpose, Passion, and Destination you are seeking. Habit #3 Put First Things First Covey says, “Habit 1 says, “You’re in charge. You’re the creator.” Being proactive is about choice. Habit 2 is hthe first, or mental creation. Beginning with the End in Mind is about vision. Habit 3 (this one) is the second creation, the physical creation. This habit is where Habits 1 and 2 come together.” This habit is about setting priorities and executing daily on those priorities that will take you closer to your goals and dreams. Priorities fall into 4 quadrants…
Our decisions have shaped our lives and will continue to shape our lives... Wayne Dyer talks about how the Tapestry of our Lives is a reflection of decisions One single decision can change the world... Not all decision will create generational change. Not all decisions will be monumental or inspire thousands. But each decision we make WILL create our lives... ...and some will create more impact then you ever thought possible So, not only can decision change your life... ...destiny shaping decisions (as robert says) can change the world... ...but destiny shaping decisions require belief structure changes. How do you change your belief structure and create destiny shaping decisions... ...start with what you want ...believe you can influence your destiny ...create the decisions that shape destiny to act on. Helpful exercise for changing belief structure ...analyze your current decisions and past ...helpful to project your path with decisions ...if it isn't the right path....use that to drive your passion for creating destiny shaping decisions. Bottom line is tomorrow is coming whether you plan for it or not. You can either go blindly into your destiny with fear and ignorance, or you can go boldly into your future with planning and intent. Choice is yours. Choose the destiny you desire. It is possible. It is real. It is a choice. Please share this message on your IG page and tag @thedailymastermind so I can respond and check in on you.
