Personal Mastery

Cool stuff going on in Oslo this weekend. 110 people attending Personal Mastery by Klemmer and Associates, almost all of them Nikken Consultants on a roll.

Interesting similarities to our dear Humans Being More at places, and a lot of exciting material that we don't have in our classic training. I'm enjoying the victim-responsibility part tremendously and the 3 R's were brilliantly covered by the trainer Brian Miller.

But still more than one more day to go. Will be interesting to see also what the folks in Stockholm thought. Interesting processes for many of us. This might lead to some new opportunities...

Lots of love to you all.

The Five Pillars of Health

Our global CFO visited us the other day. What a great guy! It's so cool to have somebody at the helm of the financial planning in the company, who is such an advocate for the company's philosophy and values. He referred to the Five Pillars on numerous occasions when we were discussing the business, different markets and some future plans.



Sometimes people don't bring the idea world into reality. Values, goals, ideals and so forth stay within the mental mapping of the world and don't interact enough with daily life, weekly plans and activities.



And we should. Life gets so much better when you align it with your values and you live every day based on what is REALLY true for you. And what is important to you.



And sometimes values change as we grow and change. As an example, Freedom used to be my highest value. Now it's Family. And I can see how that change has affected my decision-making, my priorities and how much more peace it has brought to my personal life. But that's me. For somebody else, the list of values will be different.



The Five Pillars of Health is a philosophy but it also lists five values that most people would put very much on the top of their lists. Healthy Body for example. A lot of people state this simply as "Health". Things become quite difficult when you don't possess good health. So what are you doing, every day, to improve your health?



Do you use the Nikken products as much as you could? Do you take the nutritional products? Do you get enough sleep? And do you get some exercise. The last one is something that a lot of people struggle with. I think the problem is lack of imagination. Put your Healthy Mind into work and find out great and fun ways to get exercise that fits your lifestyle and your calendar! Everyone can do it! I love starting the day with a run in my original, white CardioStrides. And I end the evenings with QiGong. When I stay at hotels with a pool I go for a swim. Or use their rowing machines. But I just cancelled my gym membership since I didn't find it exciting enough to spend time locked into an industrial looking facility with lots of iron to push, pull or lift.



And Healthy Finances... what a great concept. Sell one more product today. Talk to one more person today. Keep a portion of all that you earn and make it the starting point of your fortune.

We are a company with a great heritage. And the Five Pillars philosophy is more relevant today than ever. The world may seem crazy at times but as long as there are people like you out there, spreading a good message and making people feel good... there is hope.

Keep it up.
