Firewalking Is A Full Time Job

In today’s world, with a topsy turvey economy, people fearful of losing their jobs and life savings, so much uncertainty about the future, how does the average person keep a positive focus, and remain hopeful about what is coming?

 When I teach the QSG Firewalk Experience seminar, participants walk across an actual bed of red hot coals, in their barefeet. The analogy of the experience is that whatever challenge they face in life is never really as bad as their mind wants to make it out to be. Fears have a way of distorting reality and creating shadows where there are none. They can then take the experience and use it as a reference point for the rest of their lives when they come up against a challenge that is causing them fear.

And the truth is, that as long as you are alive and in this world, you will be facing challenging situations, time and time again. That is why I say that firewalking is a full time job. You are facing old beliefs about your abilities and self worth every time you step outside your comfort zone or are forced to take on a challenge you never asked for. When you have firewalked and have that experience as a reference point, you can now just look at every one of these challenges as a new firewalk- and you know that you have already done it successfully- so it can be done.

So keep on firewalking your way through life, and you will keep on moving past your fears, seeing opportunity where others do not see it, and you will always reach the other side, stronger, more empowered, and ready for the next challenge.

My mentor once gave us all a personal mantra for life in his program called Warrior Camp -and it is one I will now share with you……..

 ”Bring it on!!”

Keep on shining,

Vincent

Travel and Awakening Your Soul

You have not heard from me in a little while-I have been “on the road” on a journey of epic proportions, and a full on transformation of my heart and my soul.

It is amazing how we can fall into a pattern of behaviour and not even see it, until it either destroys everything we hold most precious, or we have some sort of cathartic experience which acts to wake us up before we go “over the edge”.

I have had that experience recently- and though I did not plunge into the darkness, it was definitely a screeching halt with two wheels over the edge.

But here is the rub- what is it that keeps us from falling back into the old patterns? Accountability my friends-accountability.

Why is coaching such a powerful tool ? This is exactly why- because it provides an accountabilty partner for you who is not only your friend, but will be both gentle and firm in not letting you hide in excuses or self-sabatoge, not let you back slide into old ways of thinking or acting that will take you right back to that headlong flight for the edge.

Coaches are committed to your success, to your breakthroughs, and to you living your best life possible for you- and we will not stop and relent on you until you step into being who you really are, into your potential, and your greatness.

I am of the opinion that everyone needs a coach- and if you do not have one-look into it and explore the option, because if you are willing and show up to do the work, to be a  partner in your own success , it will change your life forever-that is a promise.

To your greatest success ever,

Vincent
